Vice-Captaincy Candidates
DAICOS v Dons
- L3 v Dons: 128, 145, 71
- L3 @ MCG: 64, 105, 150
Even though Caldwell plays that quasi hang-off MID role, Daicos is off tap and tends to rise to the occasion. 140 if he can break free, no risk as VC.
ZERRETT v Pies
- L3 v Pies: 127, 133, 123
- L3 @ MCG: 78, 125, 119
The Pies didn’t have much of an answer for Anderson and Miller last week, so continuing to be a good midfield opponent. Zerrett we like on ball for a 125.
BONTEMPELLI v Port
- L3 v Port: 125, 145, 128
- L3 @ AO: 141, 145, 128
Drew too slight to match up on him, so Bont to pazz out once again. Solid for 130. Have him narrowly ahead of Butters on account of the Dogs’ engine room being stronger.
Captaincy Candidates
SERONG v Tigers
- L3 v Tigers: 137, 108, 86
- L3 @ OS: 121, 91, 150
Leading MID v Tigers. Very easy one here. Goes 140.
RYAN v Tigers
- L3 v Tigers: 197, 83, 128
- L3 @ OS: 93, 132, 111
Cox returning should help free up Ryan again – although we would have loved Pearce back too. Against the Tigers with all that economy, he’ll be right for 120.
DUNKLEY v Crows
- L3 v Crows: 89, 62, 146
- L3 @ G: 144, 89, 146
Dunkley interchangeable with Neale, and even Zorko, here. Like all the Lions for 120s with the Crows leaving Adelaide for the first time for a while.
Steer Clear
WALSH v Giants
- L3 v Giants: 130, 90, 149
- L3 @ ENS: 149, 71, 80
Gets Bedford. Pass.
HEENEY v Saints
- L3 v Saints: 75, 114, 59
- L3 @ MRVL: 94, 83, 83
Gets Windhager. Pass.
Smoky Pick
XERRI v Suns
- L3 v Suns: 82, 51, 53
- L3 @ MRVL: 141, 103, 96
To think I traded this man, my god. Running as the #3 ruck at 111.6 behind G&G. Expect that average to tick up as he gets Moyle and no Witts on Saturday. Time for his first 150 I say.
GAWN v Eagles
- L3 v Eagles: 109, 73, 91
- L3 @ MCG: 114, 132, 180
Now this is tricky. Last time we played the Dees not only did we whip them but we went to school on Maxxy. BJ took front position at every opportunity and the whole side was physical with him around the ground. Dropped him to a 109. Think it’ll be a different story in Melbourne and after our torrid showing last week. Maxxy to clap back with 140.

Verdict
Daicos tempting me as insurance and do like Zerrett’s raw match up but currently have Ryan and Bont penciled in. If you’ve got Serong, that’s an easy one.

Thinking left field. Maxy could go ballistic v ruckless Eagles, and can follow up with Dunkley at home v Crows if need be.
Eagles toweled up Gawn last time around without Flyn, suggest avoid big Maxxy this week
Great review yet again.
Great work GD.
Vc
Tu Daicos
Td Bont.
Cheers
I have been considering the left-field Xerri pick. Playing at the same time as the Dogs and Power makes it a lil less palatable though.
Got massively burnt last week with Houston. Sticking to Serong and Gawn. Will take 120… or anything over 59
Bont into Serong for me
Thinking Merrett or Daicos into Bont
Leaning towards Daicos over Merrett – but there is a lot of noise about Essendon really needing to tag Daicos tonight ?
If I go Daicos as VC, hopefully the tag from Essendon is a “semi loose” one
Not like the Saints Windhager “full blown wrestling war like tag” 🙂
Great work, my vc /captain choses haven’t hit the mark as I like to throw in a pod sometimes, Definitely would be higher placed and winning some of the close matches I lost if I just followed your selections, Again Great work Gunboat truly appreciated
Will go Xerri vc (original pick and held all season thankfully) and Gulden C , can change to Dunkley/ Zorko
I think St Kilda usually tag Warner or Gulden. There’s better options than Heeney anyway
Was set on Daicos into Bont all week but have bought in Serong purely for his match up. Gawn also a great option, lots to consider.
TU – Daicos into Serong
TD – Serong into Gawn
In Rd8 Ryan busted out a 197 against the Tigers.
Ryan into Gawn.
Pearce out might affect the dynamics
Yep they are not chipping it around in defence like they used too
TU- Bont into Serong
TD- Serong into Gawn
Bont into?
T/U Serong
T/D Gawn
Who to C after Daicos VC?
TU Bont
TD Serrong
Any thoughts on Touk vs north?
Bont into Flanders for me now I missed merrit
Or
Who to C?
TU: Flanders
TD: Gawn
Who gets the C? (Bont failed this week)
T/u one of the Freo duo, Serong or Ryan
T/d big Maxxy
Thanks
If one of the Freo duo
T/u Serong
T/d Ryan
Thanks
