The Traders have quite a few players in the match on their watch-list including under-priced midfielders Bryce Gibbs (MID, $449,000) and Billy Hartung (MID, $333,000).

Popular defensive option Taylor Duryea (DEF, $436,000) will be monitored closely, as will new Blues Matthew Wright (FWD/MID, $309,000), Sam Kerridge (FWD/MID, $299,000) and the ex-GWS boys who will be lining up in the navy blue for the first time.
