Dream Team Wrap
Matty Wright scored 139 points to lead all comers at AAMI Stadium on Saturday
Wright amassed 37 disposals, six marks, three tackles and two goals in his career-best Dream-Team performance.
Dangerfield's had a month of serious Dream Team scores. The prolific midfielder hasn’t posted a score of less than 110 points since round 17. He was in devastating form against Fremantle, collecting 34 possessions, a massive eight tackles and two goals.
Taylor Walker also enjoyed a return to DT form with a solid 90 point performance against Fremantle. Walker booted 4.2 to complement his eight marks and 12 disposals.
Dream Team gun Scott Thompson had a tough day at the office against the Dockers, with tagger Ryan Crowley shadowing his every step. Thompson’s score of 65 DT points was well below his normally high standards, but be assured Thompson will respond.
In the mix
Kurt Tippett was a late withdrawal from the Adelaide side last week, failing to get the ‘all clear’ from the Club doctor. Tippett will train this week and again put his hand up for selection.
Jason Porplyzia will test his bruised shoulder blade on the track this week in a bid to make the team to play Brisbane at the Gabba. DT coaches will be keen to see the important forward back scoring points in their forward lines.
