Griffin is coming off a sub 100 score, and plays Brisbane. he will definitely cop the Raines tag and it will affect his scoring!
Cotchin scored 51 last week and is carrying an injury... only scored 87 in his only game against GWS.
Priddis has an up and down record against Collingwood and is coming off a sub 100 score as well.

so which two do I field and why? :)
thanks in advance!

I'd start them in this order: Griffen, Priddis, Cotchin (E)

1. Griffen: Yes, he will get the Raines tag, however I'd still back him in over the other two. Been solid all year and is way above the other two fantasy wise, tag or no tag. Should be good for a 90-110 score still, despite the tag.

2. Priddis: I feel Macaffer will go to Gaff, leaving Priddis free. However, he does face a strong midfield. Despite that, I'd still back him in for 100.

2. Cotchin: Do not like him at all this week. Playing through an injury + will face plenty of attention from the opposition taggers. Even if the tag goes to Lids, rumour has it that he might spend some of the game forward again (Or could be a late out), which will affect his numbers anyway.

Hope that helps mate.

I'm considering starting Marc Murphy over Cotchin this week. What do you think? IF Cotchin plays, I don't think the injury would have much of an impact. If it did, they wouldn't play him. However will he get tagged out of it? Murphy could score big against the out of form Dons....
