<p style='margin-bottom: 0cm;]Rd 13 2011: 89 SC points, 19 disposals, 3 goals, 4 behinds
<p style='margin-bottom: 0cm;]
<p style='margin-bottom: 0cm;]Note: Missed the Round 21 game against the Suns last year. Only managed 89 in the game in 2001 when he was manned by Bock. Finally managed to score over 100 with 107 against the Giants last week after being held to scores of 86, 45 and 57 (average of 63) in the weeks prior.
<p style='margin-bottom: 0cm;]
<p style='margin-bottom: 0cm;]My opinion: Ablett disappointed with 112 last week from 31 touches at 61% efficiency in the Suns' win over the Bulldogs. History shows a good record against Hawthorn - even if his team is well beaten by them. As a Sun, he averages a massive 168 SC points against Hawthorn and therefore has to be locked in as captain.
<p style='margin-bottom: 0cm;]
<p style='margin-bottom: 0cm;]Following Ablett, I would pick Cox (and would try to utilise the captain's loophole given that he plays on Saturday against the Giants whilst Ablett plays on Sunday). Naitanui, after his match winning performance last week would also be a good option as he is now regaining match fitness whilst Priddis should get plenty of the ball. JJ Kennedy could kick a bag making many of the West Coast players good loophole options.
<p style='margin-bottom: 0cm;]
<p style='margin-bottom: 0cm;]Nick Riewoldt against the struggling Bulldogs on Saturday night at Etihad Stadium is another good smoky pick and another prime option for the loophole. Hawthorn players against the Suns on Sunday afternoon also warrant a look. On recent form, I like Roughead who is averaging 124 SC points in his three most recent games. Further, Hale is out with an ankle injury which might mean that Roughead assumes more rucking duties - against the Suns who are missing their main ruckmen in Zac Smith and Charlie Dixon.
<p style='margin-bottom: 0cm;]
<p style='margin-bottom: 0cm;]Following Ablett, Cox and Riewoldt, I would pick Pendlebury (who has been in top form recently - except for his fourth quarter fade out last week) and then Josh Kennedy (who has a good record against Collingwood) and then Roughead.
<p style='margin-bottom: 0cm;]
<p style='margin-bottom: 0cm;]Good luck all!
