@Dreamteam_Guru in Focus - Adelaide's Patrick Dangerfield

@DreamteamGuru rated 289^th player in the league

This guys has been dubbed the next Gary Ablett. This means he won’t be the 289^th rated player for too long.

However, Robbie Gray was described a similar way 3 seasons ago, and he is 232^nd on my list (surround by Daniel Pratt and James Gwilt – not the company that Ablett keeps).

If Adelaide use Dangerfield well, he could become a top 100 player of mine by the start of next season.  So is this the year to jump on board?  The NAB cup is designed for us dreamteamers, and lets make sure we watch Dangerfield very closely.

Also, he has a very cool last name.  How can someone outscore you when you have a Dangerfield in your team?

Lets compare him to the players around him on the scale.

286. Rick Ladson (150.667)
287. Matt White (150)
288. Daniel Bradshaw (150)
289. Patrick Dangerfield (149.667)
290. Luke McPharlin (149.333)
291. Brendon Fevola (149.333)
292. Jarryd Morton (149).

Dangerfield averaged 67 last year, but his 3 year average is 48.6667.  He scored nearly 20 points above his average last year.  Expect his path to keep rising like this.

Out of the above players, he would be the only one I would consider.  Ladson can’t keep on the park or score in DT, I don’t know enough about Matt White, Daniel Bradshaw is too old, McPharlin being part of Freo is tempting (for bye reasons), but would never get a serious look, Fevola might not play at all this year and Morton is yet to cement a place at Hawthorn.

Dangerfield won’t find a place immediately in the Guru’s team, but he could be a good sneaky pick to consider.
