Zach Merrett is the Bombers prime mover and was at his best last week against St Kilda.

He picked up 37 disposals and laid ten tackles.

The 21 year old is in the Bombers top three for disposals, inside 50s, contested possessions, uncontested possessions and clearances.

North Melbourne’s Trent Dumont could be assigned to the Dons midfielder.

And the man the Bombers need to stop…

Ben Cunnington is the number one clearance player in the competition and he’s ranked third for contested possessions.

The Roos midfielder picked up 26 contested possessions and had 11 clearances last week against Port Adelaide. 

He will miss the presence of teammate Jack Ziebell but Andrew Swallow has registered 11 tackles in a game twice in the last month and will provide a strong bodied ally.
