After a low score of 33 against Sydney in Round 4, Goldstein has steadily improved in the recent weeks before exploding with 28 disposals, a game high, and 47 hit-outs against the Lions. His Round 9 score was only four below his career DT high, 144 in Round 11 last year against Adelaide.
As a result of his terrific performance, Goldstein rose more than $30,000 in price and with a similar effort against Hawthorn his value could break the $400,000 mark.
Brent Harvey also notched up his highest Dream Team score since Round 3 with 101 points. 27 touches and six marks was good enough for second place amongst North players. Last time North met the Hawks Harvey collected 26 disposals for a tally of 99 points, and he’ll be hoping for a similar effort on Saturday.
Youngster Cam Delaney continued his price increase with another score in the mid-50’s. Delaney's tally of 54 continues his run of scores between 54 and 62 and he has now risen in value by more than $70,000 this season. With Hawthorn's focus on its tall forwards, Delaney should have plenty of opportunities to win the ball in Launceston.
Substituted with a sore back, Jack Ziebell's score understandably suffered. He posted just 36 points. However, this could be the perfect time to trade him in. With the three bye-rounds ahead, unique midfielders who can score well into the hundreds are worth their weight in gold. Ziebell is one of those players, as his game against Geelong suggests.
Sam Wright's four goal haul saw a significant price rise of over $20,000. More importantly, his ability to have an influence on the game while playing forward now means he can be deployed at both ends of the ground meaning he should realistically have very few quiet Dream Team games.
