LAST WEEK’S NEWS
Adelaide returned to the top eight last round but now is not the time to take the foot of the pedal. Tom Lynch (FWD, $476,000) certainly didn’t do that on the weekend when he scored his best score for the year (127pts). He found the ball a team-high 32 times.
Onballers Matt Crouch (MID, $383,000) and Patrick Dangerfield (MID, $582,000) continued their good form with 90+ scores and after coming off 136pts from Round 20, Rory Sloane (MID, $489,000) continued his rise with another great score of 117pts.
Scott Thompson (MID, $494,000) found the going a little tough and only managed 68pts. He had just 72 before that and should bounce back this week.
Captain, Taylor Walker (FWD, $421,000) booted a bag of goals for his 110pts. His seven-goal haul topped off a great day in the office for the boys.
ON THE RADAR
Rory Atkins (MID, $216,000) scored a very solid 91pts last week and rose $45,000 in price. However, he is still cheap. He managed 18 touches and two goals on the weekend and carries a great break even of -24.
Atkins has now cemented himself into the Crow’s best 22 and will shoot over the $250,000 mark next week.
