More than ten Adelaide players managed to post a score of 80 points or greater against the Sydney Swans, which was great news for DT coaches with a bevy of Crows in their teams.
Top five points scorers
Scott Thompson 128pts
Patrick Dangerfield 104pts
Ian Callinan 93pts
Nathan van Berlo 92pts
Brent Reilly 92pts
Purple patch
Scott Thompson has reaffirmed himself as a DT point scoring machine, racking up back-to-back scores of 138 points in the round five Showdown and 128 points against the Swans. ‘Thommo’ currently sits 10th in the competition for total Dream Team points and is averaging an impressive 113 points per round.
Good things come to those who wait
Patrick Dangerfield came of Dream Team age in round 5 when he posted a career-high 140 points, but what was even more impressive was to see the rapidly developing midfielder back up the performance with a solid 104pts against Sydney.
For all the Dream Team coaches who have stuck by him, it looks like your patience is about to pay dividends!
Age no boundary
At 29 years of age Ian Callinan was upgraded to Adelaide’s senior list and the mature-age small forward has made a good fist of his opportunity thus far in 2012. The small forward posted his second highest DT score for the season, accumulating 93 DT points after bagging three goals. Callinan has ascended by a considerable $45,400 in value this season. Priced at $262,400 he’s a promising forward option for your team.
Porps gamble starting to pay-off
Those DT coaches who have kept persisting with Porplyzia are starting to see some returns for their investment. ‘Porps’ was impressive against the Swans, playing a more prominent role through Adelaide’s midfield to score 88pts. He has gone up $71,600 in value since the beginning of season 2012.
