AFL TIPS – Round 1
Our two player markets didn’t fire a shot Thursday night, so let’s dig in today and find some winners.
**********************************************************************
Western Bulldogs vs West Coast
**TIP: Jackson Macrae (WB) to have atleast 11 kicks and 11 handballs (EARLY in the week)
ANALYSIS: With the likes of Griffen and Libba out Jack Macrae will have an even more important role in the midfield this year. Last year he averaged 14.4 kicks and 12.4 handballs a game and collected 15 kicks and 16 handballs against West Coast last year in round 1 despite them losing by 60+. In the two games he played in NAB cup he played an average of 83% game time surpassing this line against Collingwood. Another year under the belt in the midfield with the importance to step up due to limited midfielders Jack Macrae should get plenty of game time to dominate this line.
