Well, if you picked Ablett youd be pretty happy - the untaggable Cat scored heavily yet again - Buddy struggled in Adelaide against Nathan Bock 'Choy' and got a few points in rubbish time against the Crows. This week throws up a few more of the usual suspects in for your considerations, and a few players who, thanks to Sizza and his Whos Hot and Whos Not blog, have punters looking to capitalise on their hot form.

Scott Thompson (ADE)

Is there a bloke in hotter form at the moment. Goodes maybe, Cooney
and Ablett - its getting to be expected, but Scott Thompson has gone
along (relatively) unnoticed, but if you had him from the start youd
be laughing. Sizza tells us hes averaged 138.6 in the last 3 weeks and
with a 148 last week against the Hawks, comes right into calculations.
Averages big scores against the Lions with an average of 116 and a top
score of 124 last year, Scotty Thompson could be your man this week.

Gary Ablett (GEE)


Against the supposedly tanking Eagles, this could be a monty.
Having said that, I recall Abletts lowest score this year being at
Subi vs Freo, so perhaps hes a bit of a risk this week. It will
probably be either Selwood or Stenglein on Ablett this week so he may
have his work cut out for him - but Ablett is just a freak - and I
dont reckon anything would worry him at the moment. With a 106 the
last time these two teams met and an average against the Eagles of just
under 90, perhaps this is the week that the consecutive games as Ablett
captain breaks for many...

Matthew Pavlich (FRE)


The much maligned Dockers skipper has bounced into a little bit of
form with 164 and 111 in his last two, and with an undersized Saints
backline to confront him this week, Pav may be your man. Scores an
average of 120.5 against the Saints with a top score of 132 last year.
Definitely not the shabbiest option.

Adam Goodes (SYD)


With Melbourne this week, Goodes - Mr Consistency - might be a
better option than Ablett. Consistently getting 100s (and some big
100s) puts Goodes right in the picture. Three Brownlow votes last time
they played saw Goodes pile on 137 points and at a healthy average of
100+, I reckon hes my pick of the week this week. Melbourne will
struggle to contain him and I am hoping they let McLean and Goodes go
head to head with little accountability - just like my pick Cooney got
to do last week against the Lions.

Adam Cooney (WBD)


Massive 177 last week after 37-odd touches. With only 3 games below
100 and never going below 82, Cooney is in some sort of form this year.
Collingwood will put the hard tag on, with perhaps Rhyce Shaw or maybe
OBree or another one of the Collingwood mids going to him to keep him
quiet. I like the odds of Cooney breaking open again, considering the
scores of Murphy and Judd against the Pies last week, I reckon Adams a
big show this week. Three Charlie votes last time they played saw
Cooney reel in 128 - definitely a considerations.

Lance Franklin (HAW)


Last but not least, the bad boy Buddy takes on Firrito and the North
backline this week. With 83 the last time they met and an average of
just under 100 against the Roos - Im tipping a bit of a slide for
Buddy coming up. With the risk of having egg on my face, my tip for the
week is to avoid Buddy - hopefully hes giving us all a chance to pick
him up for under 600K in the next few weeks.

Others to Consider: Judd, Jarrad McVeigh/Kirk, Power/Black, or Bock if he finds a bit of space.

Steer clear of: Hille &amp; Fev - just my opinion, but I reckon for mine - too fluky.
