On the eve of the Dream Team Grand Final round the Western Bulldogs have produced some impressive scores - certain to tempt the few DT coaches with trades in hand.
After Ryan Griffen had a highly commendable 47 disposals last weekend, Captain Matthew Boyd wanted a piece of the action collecting 46 touches of the pill.
His influence was even more damaging with 80% disposal efficiency as well as dominating the clearances with a game high eight, ultimately resulting in a 131 point Dream Team score.
Griffen again found his fair share of the ball with 37 disposals and a 114 point score.
In the past three rounds the classy midfielder has averaged 115 points in Dream Team with a price tag of just $444,800.
The midfield dominance continued on Sunday with ruckman Will Minson ranking third from the Bulldogs camp with 107 points.
His 30 hitouts, six clearances and four tackles no doubt boosted his 19 disposals (ten contested) to bypass the Dream Team ton.
Continuing to emerge as a key player in the Bulldogs midfield is young Mitch Wallis who’s 29 disposals, six clearances and eight tackles earnt him 105 Dream Team points
Joining him in the emerging Bulldogs stocks is Christian Howard, scoring a career best Dream Team score of 102 points against Geelong.
Generally known for his ability to provide run and carry out of the defensive half and assist on the wing, Howard drifted forward to kick two goals on the weekend as well as collecting 28 disposals in arguably his best game of senior footy.
