Strong defensive pressure has helped three Crows score over 100 AFL Fantasy points in Thursday's clash with Hawthorn at Adelaide Oval.
Matt Crouch, Hugh Greenwood and Brad Crouch were prolific at the contest, combining for 85 disposals 21 clearances in a tough performance at home.
The trio laid 28 tackles between them, giving fans an exciting glimpse into the future of Adelaide’s young engine room.
Matt Crouch (128) continued his run of stellar Fantasy form, now averaging 102 points a game.
He was the sixth-best Fantasy performer of Round 14. The young Crow is now priced at a premium of $564,000.
Hugh Greenwood (122) kicked two goals while displaying outstanding composure, collecting 21 disposals and operating at 95.2 per cent disposal efficiency.
It was a career-high score for the fifth-gamer, who has rocketed up Fantasy draft boards and is now included in almost half of all teams league wide.
The former basketballer is now priced at $337,000, a whopping increase of $187,000 and more than double his initial value after entering the season priced at just $150,000.
Milestone man Brad Crouch followed with 116 points, recording 29 disposals (18 contested) and kicking his second goal of the season.
It was a record night for Crouch, who recorded a career-high 11 tackles and had four inside 50ms.
Tom Lynch (98) and Josh Jenkins (98) fell just shy of the ton, the latter contributing four goals and a goal assist in the 14-point loss.
Team owners will look for regular Fantasy stars Sam Jacobs (90) and Rory Sloane (89) to return to their early season form. The pair remain Adelaide’s two top-priced Fantasy assets, valued at $576,000 and $577,000 respectively.
