PORT ADELAIDE had three players reach the magical three-figure mark in Round 3 of AFL Fantasy, with a couple of young guns performing strongly.
Travis Boak (118) continued his fine form to start season 2019, while Connor Rozee (121) showed exactly why Port Adelaide picked him at number five in last year’s draft.
Sam Powell-Pepper (101) racked up his highest score of the season and Darcy Byrne-Jones (98) also saw plenty of the footy off half back.
The fantasy news was not quite as good for ball magnet Tom Rockliff, who sustained a concussion early in the third term that ended his night on 43 points.
Travis Boak (FWD - $758,000)
Boak has risen a remarkable $125,000 already this season after scores of 144, 138 and 118 against Melbourne, Carlton and Brisbane respectively.
The former skipper was at his best against the Lions, collecting 35 touches and kicking two goals in his side’s 17-point loss.
With only 14 per cent ownership in the competition, his average of 133 as a forward must be very enticing for coaches.
Connor Rozee (FWD - $385,000)
Rozee produced a remarkable team-high 121 against the Lions on Saturday evening to stamp his authority on the fantasy competition.
The 19-year-old booted five goals from 21 possessions, with seven marks and two tackles to record the highest score of his short career to date.
He has risen $103,000 across the first three rounds and if he continues to score the way he did on the weekend he will be well worth the inclusion.
Sam Powell-Pepper (MID - $559,000)
Powell-Pepper started the season slowly with a score of 61 against Melbourne but has turned that form around quickly with 97 against the Blues and 101 against the Lions.
The midfield bull had 29 touches a laid four tackles to reach the ton, with his price increasing by $15,000 overall after two strong performances.
If his form continues, Powell-Pepper presents really good value in the midfield at a breakeven of 63 this week.
Port Adelaide top 5 for Round 3:
Connor Rozee - 121
Travis Boak - 118
Sam Powell-Pepper - 101
Darcy Byrne-Jones - 98
Paddy Ryder – 81
