Oliver vs Yeo?

Oliver 11k dearer, same bye.
Reckon I'd back in Oliver of those 2 mate, Yeo is fairly underrated around here but Clarry has been playing poorly for most of the season in most respects and is still averaging 110.

Thanks mate, it’s a strong point re Oliver.

Two things I was wondering about were whether NicNat coming back helps Yeo, and whether Oliver could get fewer mid minutes with Melbourne struggling and quite a few to come back.

Yeo is averaging 117 over the last five games, but Oliver is going even better with 120 after his huge score against the Suns.

WC have an easier list of opponents, but Melbourne play more games at home.

Yeah Yeo is in bloody good form, suffering a bit from the loss of dpp hangover for most coaches. Don't think you can go wrong either way personally so maybe lean towards the lower ownership player if you need a POD.

I think Yeo is a pretty good pick, but on reflection I think you’re right - Oliver it is.

Better record, more durable and can clearly play better. Has kicked a solitary behind and had only 4 goal assists this year, with his clangers up 40% on last year.

Thanks again.

Might have led you up the garden path on this one mate. Yeo looking set for another big score.

All good mate, appreciate your input. I’d still be happy to back Oliver to beat Yeo including this round. Long way to go yet.

Ryan v Stewart v Houli
Tough one.
Maybe what @Rowsus said today may be of help, "I'd actually be backing Harris (Andrews) in to bounce back a little. An injury affected 60, and a head scratching 40 in his score lines. He's looking like a mid or high 90's player to me, and it wouldn't surprise me if he went say 95 from here to the end."
