This team consists of players I predict will be the best performers in upcoming Round 14 this weekend.
B: Jack Crisp (Magpies), Rory Thompson (Suns), Brayden Maynard (Magpies)
HB: Jeremy Howe (Magpies), Matthew Scharenberg (Magpies), Liam Duggan (Eagles)
C: Andrew Gaff (Eagles), Tom Mitchell (Hawks), Chris Masten (Eagles)
HF: Will Hoskin-Elliott, Justin Westhoff (Power), Jordan de Goey (Magpies)
FF: Robbie Gray (Power), Charlie Dixon (Power), Matthew Wright (Blues)
Foll: Paddy Ryder (Power), Elliot Yeo (Eagles), Josh Kelly (Giants)
Int: Tom Rockliff (Power), Marcus Bontempelli (Bulldogs), Ollie Wines (Power), Steven Motlop (Power)
Backs
Jack Crisp played a good game in Round 12 against the Demons, collecting 23 possessions, and he should continue on that form against the Blues this week. I think that Rory Thompson can curtail the impact of Hawks captain Jarryd Roughead.
Brayden Maynard should play a good game against the Blues as he has been a revelation since coming back into the Magpies team. Jeremy Howe and Matthew Scharenberg should take some important marks and use the ball efficiently. Liam Duggan could be an important cog in the defence and will likely negate the likes of Anthony McDonald-Tipungwuti.

Midfielders
Andrew Gaff has been the best player for the Eagles this season, gathering the most disposals of any of his teammates, and he will be dominant for West Coast against the Bombers.
Tom Mitchell will have a good game against the Suns controlling the midfield battle. Chris Masten could be an important part of the midfield arm wrestle against the Essendon this week.
Forwards
Will Hoskin-Elliott has been one of the leading goal-kickers in the competition this season and could kick a few goals against a lacklustre Blues outfit. Justin Westhoff will be too mobile for Michael Hibberd and could play an important part in a winning Port Adelaide team.
Jordan de Goey was outstanding against the Demons in Round 12 and has been a much-improved player following his club-imposed suspension. Robbie Gray is one of the most in-form forwards in the competition as has the ability to kick goals and get plenty of the ball.
Charlie Dixon kicked three goals against the Bulldogs in Round 13, which will give him the confidence to perform well in Round 14. Matthew Wright is a player who goes under the radar and is someone capable of hitting the scoreboard.

Followers
Paddy Ryder will have a tough test against Demons ruckman Max Gawn, but I believe that he will win the battle. Elliott Yeo was an important factor in the Eagles, nearly winning against the Swans in Round 13. Josh Kelly could benefit from the week off and play an instrumental role in the Giants overcoming the Lions.
Interchange
Tom Rockliff has the ability to get over 20 possessions and to go forward and kick a goal. Marcus Bontempelli is an integral aspect of the Bulldogs side as he can play midfield and forward. Ollie Wines should continue on from where he left off in Round 13 and be too good for the Demons midfield. Steven Motlop is a good player on the burst and will play an important role in the Power beating the Demons.
