Port Adelaide

Travis Boak PA (DK $7,200, DS $14,610) averaged a team high 23.2 Disposals in the 2020 H&A season, he averaged 83.7pts scoring 80pts or more in 64.7% of games. 

Port Adelaide were crushed by Geelong in Round 12 earlier this season at Metricon Stadium, Boak recorded 24 Disposals for a team high 90pts. 

Boak is reasonably priced below a few other premium midfield options on Thursday night, his ownership will likely be strong as a result. 

Geelong

Patrick Dangerfield GEE (DK $7,100, DS $14,330) should be a dual threat on Thursday night against Port Adelaide, his midfield usage should remain strong throughout but his ability to hit the scoreboard when moved forward should keep the fantasy points ticking over. 

Dangerfield averaged 81.7pts in the H&A season scoring 80pts or more in 58.8% of games, he averaged 88.0pts when kicking 2 Goals or more (2 Games). 

In a Geelong win scenario team build Dangerfield will likely need to have a significant impact, pairing him with Tom Hawkins in the forward line on DS will require paying down at 1 or 2 spots in the midfield.

Value

Ryan Burton PA (DK $4,400, DS $8,880) has encountered an injury riddled 2020 H&A season, however after being cautiously managed he is good to go for Thursday night. 

Due to the injury restricted season Burton is discounted compared to his career fantasy output, he’ll likely assume his normal role in defence & be used as an outlet for the Power moving forward. 

The price tag for Burton is likely too cheap to ignore, ownership will likely be strong.
