Defender Ricky Henderson scored his first Fantasy century of the year in Adelaide’s last minor round match against Geelong.
Henderson’s 107 from a team-high 30 possessions and nine marks was his best Fantasy total in over two years.
The former basketballer has shown in the past that he can bag a big score on his day. He has a 133, a 120 and a 119 next to his name from six seasons with the Crows. Henderson could be one to keep an eye on - price permitting - for 2016.
Reliable midfielder Rory Sloane was the only other Crows centurion of the round. The 2013 Club Champion notched an even 100 from 20 touches, seven tackles and five marks in another gallant performance.
Sloane finishes the Fantasy season as arguably Adelaide’s form player. He scored four tons on the trot to close out the minor round and has now lifted his value back beyond the half-million dollar mark despite an injury-interrupted year.
He will begin next season well underpriced and should be a popular selection.
Dual-position player Nathan van Berlo gave his all against the Cats. The former skipper posted an 87 for his best Fantasy score since Round Nine.
He’s been one of the best value buys this year, adding over $60k to his starting price. It will also be intriguing to see whether VB keeps his DPP status as a MID/FWD next season.
