There will very likely be some beltings this week. Will that affect your captaincy choice? As Tony and Julia will tell you: its time to vote!

Dare I do it – thinking St Nick?? playing against the tigers hoping he gets another bag and scores big. The guy i’m playing will pick Swan and his team is slightly better than mine – so thinking of taking the punt and hoping big Nick comes up big?? stupid??

I’m having exactly the same thoughts as you. Riewoldt is playing under the roof, against the Tigers and he’s coming into top form.

My opponent will also almost certainly pick Swan.

Wow I never thought of that. I’m really considering it now, Richmond have no McGuane, and have named Gourdis at full back. Very good point.

I’ve been thinking more about this. How is St Nick’s hammy? Had a fair bit of work last week I hear (not that it seemed to affect his score), but if the Saints are up against the Tigers then he could be rested.

Hmmmmm….

St.Nick is tempting but I would not be too suprised to see him stay on the bench for the most of the second half if the saints are well up at halftime.

I would go with Swan, though the Saints are vs’ing Richmond i think that Swan is more consistent and won’t rely on kicking a bag of goals. I was thinking of Hodge but his form hasn’t been the best.

Could be a risk that pays off if you make the grand final.
But keep in mind Geelong is versing West Coast at Skilled, so the Geelong Reserves will come out to play. It’s up to you if you think Stevie J will be rested, Personally, I think he’ll play.

One problem i can see is Harvey [Against WCE] and Judd could both pull out massive scores and Pods could either fade away similar to a few past games.

-Would Swan be rested for the finals?

Hayes->Judd and Higgins->Harvey definitely.
Pods is playing at Etihad tonight, I know he kicked 5 there last week, but two weeks in a row? Most likely no. Also he’ll probably be rested next week against West Coast at Skilled Stadium.
And Judd is a super consistent player.
