2013 Byes



R21 Captain

by Duck on August 17, 2012

Last week a whopping 90% of the poll went GAJ’s way, although there were still a small number of coaches willing to try someone else.

Cyril turned out to be a poor decision for those that went that way, Danger on the other hand picked up a 187 which would have been lovely all doubled up.

So who’s it going to be this week?

Don’t have Beams (yet; Swan to Beams or Franklin?) but I like the thinking.

Going GAJ.

Are the dislikes from one-eyed Collingwood fans or angry Carlton fans?? Don’t see where the dislikes would stem from but each to their own i spose.

I am going GAJ. However for anyone really up against it & needing a POD captain, Dean Cox v Port’s undermanned rucks and defense could go very big.

Got the week off so I might go something different and put Nic Nat or Priddis against a ruckless Port.
Yay or Nay?

GAJ has had 2 big scores at the MCG this year, Pavlich has gone BIG recently at Pattersons, and Beams is big most weeks…..I think i’ll need a POD to get over the line against my 800 ranked opponent this week….but how do you go against GAJ? I guess as i have the bye in my other 4 leagues i might roll the dice and go Pav.

GAJ.

Tempted by Beams but i couldn’t handle the mental angst of cheering for a North victory while wanting Beams to go large. Too difficult.

Thinking about going Pendles or Beams. Pendles averages well at Etihad but Beams will go ham and cheese against North. But every time I take the C of Gaz it comes back to bite me on the bum.
F*** this is a hard decision.

Remember the 3300 rule. Wet weather vs dry weather is an erroneous argument in SC.

Yeah my thoughts are that no one really goes large in wet weather. More of an even score by all

All my opponents have Gary and I expect them to use him. So I’m going for Coxy as a POD – Ports record v Ruckmen this year speaks for itself.

Eagling
Are you not concerned that Cox has played every game this season, and the Eagles have 2 hard games prior to the finals.Wouldnt this week be their last chance to freshen up a few of their champs.?
Expecting some late outs with the Eagles

Strange options in the poll this week. Dusty, Scotland, Sidebottom but no Jobe, J.Selwood or Beams? Still GAJ for me; excellent record against the hawks (well anyone really…)

An easy 6 goals for buddy. And a quiet 150 will be enough for me

Wouldn’t go Mitch personally. His ceiling is nowhere near as big as others. Has only gone over 130 3 times this year and against the leagues witchhats this year he has gone 114 (Rd 20 Port) 108 (Rd 15 GWS) & 116 (Rd 11 Port).

I went against Gaz one week and took pendles. Gaz got about 170 points pendles about 120 so I have sworn I will never ever ever not pick Gaz as capt again.

Breaks your heart when you start thinking what score you could have had.

The others just end up being a lottery of luck.

I’m sticking with Gaz as my Boss this week. He grows a leg when playing against a top side and scored 144 and 170 last year (as a Sun), avg 157 v the Dorks.

I’m happy for the little master to run rampant, get 43 possessions, 8 clearances & 4 goals……………but the Hawks will still smash them by plenty & my SC, DT & Sportal “C” can & will score truck loads!

Go Hawks……………..but Go Gazza!

DANG!

I want to go with Beams against GAJ this week to give me the POD against Roo Bloke. But the Little Master has gone under 125 all of four times this year. Hard to argue against.

Beams loves a big game though. His four biggest scores for the year have been against Adelaide, Geelong, Hawthorn & Sydney.

Bugger it – I’ve thought about it too much now. If I do it and loose at least I took a punt and put an extra edge into the match up. If I don’t do it, loose by 20 and Beams beats GAJ by 30 I’ll be shattered and missing a pair. Beamer it is!

Locked in RB. Good luck mate. Should be a cracker!

Scott Thompson! V Brisbane (I am a Lions supporter) I reckon Raines might go to Dangerfield? Thoughts.
