AFL Dream Team Grand Final Projected Scores

Heading into the AFL Dream Team Grand Final, we’d all like to think we’ve got the best team we can have. Some are lucky enough to still have trades and should be looking to get in the best player for this week. Usually this would end up being the best player available based on averages, but with one game to perform the Assistant Coach helps us find who is in form, who has great history and who is likely to get a big score this week.

Let’s look at the predicted scores based on position.

So how many of the top 5 of each position do you have… or are you lucky enough to use a trade to get one of these guys in? Let us know what secret weapons you are excited about for the Grand Final this weekend or what masterstroke you’ll play to win your premiership!
