Melbourne community coordinator and Dream Team fanatic Glenn Balmforth looks ahead to round eight
MARTIN Luther King once said “I have a dream” and many Dream Team coaches had a dream that young gun Jack Grimes could survive a full year without a major injury.
Unfortunately, it wasn’t to be with the Demon star now out for the year, leaving Dream Team coaches scurrying for a replacement defender to fill the void.
In one of the best performances of the season, seven Demons managed to notch up golden scores of 100-plus.
Colin Sylvia was the best of the men in red and blue with an individual season high of 149 points.
Jack Trengove once again showed why he was picked at No.2 in the 2009 NAB AFL Draft, impressing with 112 points against the Crows.
He now has an average of 112 points from his past three games.
DT Coaches who stuck with Melbourne skipper Brad Green over the past few weeks would have been happier than a bird with a French fry.
The captain hit back with 24 possessions, two goals and 115 Dream Team points.
Green is at $328,300 and now has a breakeven of 77 - he is almost certain to reach that and rise in price after this week.
So it could be worthwhile upgrading a rookie and getting him in to your side, particularly since he loves playing against the Roos.
