Captaincy Candidates
Brayshaw v Dons
L3 v Dons: 137, 129, 132
L3 @ OS: 130, 96, 154
L3 MID v Dons: 155, 114, 159
Have on odd feeling the Dons belatedly compensate for last week’s on ball belting by tagging this week but Brayshaw’s form and numbers more than enough to assuage that concern.
Jackson v Dons
L3 v Dons: 48, 134, 78
L3 @ OS: 100, 163, 111
L3 RUC v Dons: 63, 146, 59
If you’ve got Jackson here, you must VC him tonight. Goldy and Darcy out. Going to let loose.
Smith v Lions
L3 v Lions: 81, 102, 85
L3 @ GMS: 118, 154, 108
L3 MID v Lions: 110, 108, 93
Hard to predict when Smith puts up a VC/C worthy score given his erratic DE but entering a strong stretch at Kardinia Park.
Holmes v Lions
L3 v Lions: 127, 98, 76
L3 @ GMS: 152, 128, 134
L3 MID v Lions: 110, 108, 93
Tacked Holmes on here too given his immense numbers at KP.
Xerri v Blues
L3 v Blues: 144, 109, 90
L3 @ MCG: 150, 111, 57
L3 RUC v Blues: 68, 68, 90
Won’t go insane but still mighty serviceable as always.
Bontempelli v Tigers
L3 v Tigers: 135, 153, 122
L3 @ MRVL: 66, 101, 140
L3 MID v Tigers: 123, 115, 156
Time for the big man to repay the faith after we all sold the farm to get him!
Richards v Tigers
L3 v Tigers: 163, 89, 88
L3 @ MRVL: 138, 111, 106
L3 MID v Tigers: 123, 115, 156
Prefer Richards to Bont this week. Hate that I haven’t finished my side with Ed The Red Diamond.
Steer Clear
Butters v Swans
Jordan targeting HBs lately but the Swans have also resorted to Rowbottom playing defensively on ball recently. Butters good enough to break him but I’d be taking an unencumbered option this week.
Daicos v Saints
Windhager. Pass.
Verdict
Bray into Bont. The two of them plus Xerri is meta this week unless you’re blessed enough to have Jackson or Richards. Anyone got both?
Bradshaw into Bont for me.
Wish I had Jackson.
Any love for a C punt on S Darcy?
*Brayshaw
Jackson into Smith/Holmes
X into Bont will take 120
Good to have you back GD, it was missed
Last 3 for Smith & Holmes playing Mid v Lions exactly the same stats.
Coincidence?
I know the stats don’t back it up but I’m so tempted to whack a VC on JClark tonight, just remembering the pantsing BDale gave Essendon recently. The brave me would take Clark into Dale; the real me probably taking Xerri into Bont.
Will the ball get to him down back ???
It got to Dale OK, somehow… but who knows… I don’t think I’m brave enough.
Will the ball get to him down back ???
oops !!!
Goldstein out. Jackson to fire
Thoughts on Serong VC?
I hope you went for it
Certainly did
Nice, Scott.
Sorry I didn’t respond.
The other MID usually always good if their counterpart is named.
Great start to your weekend – best of luck.
V on recruit Jackson and having Serong gives me a nice start to the round.
Brayshaw VC didn’t come off, so who to go.
TU: Xerri (up against dual rucks Pitto & TDK, though TDK will likely spend plenty of time forward).
TD: Bont (not captain worthy last few weeks but great record against Richmond).
For C?
TU- Bazlenka
TD- Tingles
