BUT\u2026 Ross Lyon says he\u2019s fine to play \u2013 either way, I loved him until he didn\u2019t train and now comes with a risk \u2013 however, he plays early and it\u2019s a great VC<\/p>\n<p>Marcus Bontempelli v Melbourne, SUN 3:15pm\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Should be huge in this one and finds himself coming off 97, 146, 105, 166 and 133. The Demons are #7 easiest for MIDs at the moment and Bont even had 135 and 90 against them last year. Very hit and miss is the Bont at the moment and if he played earlier in the round \u2013 a VC would be in play.<\/p>\n<p>Jordan Dawson v West Coast, SUN 5:10pm\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>West Coast\u2026 #2 easiest for MIDs and Dawson could be the man bringing it all home for you this round. He scored 139 (at AO) this year on the Eagles and 123 against them last year\u2026 with 105 and 195 before that. Must be considered \u2013 but he has been a little like Bont, a little hit and miss with his scores and he can only be a \u201cC\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aflphotos.com.au\/image\/imagerender?key=31745789&amp;src=afl-gal-600w-0h\" alt=\"AFL 2018 Round 11 - Western Bulldogs v Melbourne - 597047\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-del=\"avatar\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/calvin_siteprofile.jpg\" class=\"avatar pp-user-avatar avatar-60 photo \" height=\"60\" width=\"60\"\/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>Do you need a Captain?
