Dangerfield v. Port Adelaide



Rd 3 2013: 84 SC points, 20 disposals

Rd 15 2012: 97 SC points, 22 disposals

Rd 5 2012: 141 SC points, 39 disposals

Rd 6 2009: 63 SC points, 14 disposals



Average is 84 SC points with 21 disposals.



Note: Terrible record against Port Adelaide with only one score over 100 which was his 141 in Round 5 last year. Is returning from injury and had scored 70 (injury affected), 136, 141 and 150 in the weeks prior.



My opinion: Ablett's record against West Coast (except for his most recent game) is exceptional. He is normally tagged by Scott Selwood so perhaps that poor Round 14 game against them last year is the odd one out.



For me, based on recent form, I would pick Ablett, then Swan and then Pendlebury. Following this group, I would pick Selwood (who is in great recent form and who has great recent form against North) and then Barlow.



Good luck all!
