Crouch
In his fifth game for the year, Rising Star nominee Crouch didn’t disappoint, scoring 121 points. The young midfielder’s price rose an impressive $58,400 as he picked up 31 touches and laid six tackles.

Dangerfield
The ‘Mr. Consistency’ of Dream Team at the Crows continued his rich form, picking up 116 points. Dangerfield’s game is now on the rise with a five-round average of 107.6, making him a prime pick-up in any coach’s team.

Laird
Laird continued his fantastic debut season against Gold Coast, gathering 29 possessions on the way to 108 Dream Team points. You’d be a pretty happy coach if you picked him up earlier in the season as his value has not dropped once and his overall price has soared to $313,000.

Smith
Defender Brodie Smith touched the ball 26 times and kicked a monster goal as he notched up the highest score of his three-year career (107 points). With a breakeven of just 48 this week, Smith could be a good option if you’re in need of some quick cash ahead of the fast-approaching Dream Team finals.

Henderson
Henderson started the match as a forward, but responded superbly when he was thrown into defence just one minute into the game after Brent Reilly went down with injury. Picking up 25 possessions and nine marks, Hendo tallied up his highest score of the year with 105 points.

Last time we met
The last time Adelaide played against West Coast was in Round 17, 2012, it was a monumental team effort that got the Crows over the line. Ten players picked up scores over 90, including eight players with at least 99 points. Josh Jenkins (99) was one of those who stood up in the absence of Tex Walker; Dangerfield was best afield scoring 118 points whilst Bernie Vince was a prolific scorer in his 100th game with 101 points.
