Vice-Captaincy Candidates
MERRETT v Crows
- L3 v Crows: 109, 136, 143
- L3 @ MCG: 82, 145, 78
Gets sat on a lot but Crows don’t have that kind of personnel at the moment and frankly think the Dons handle them away from home. Zerrett solid for 125.
GREEN v Suns
- L3 v Suns: 109, 147, 92
- L3 @ ENS: 96, 153, 80
Finds a metric ton of it with a great contested profile but his use has depressed his scores of late. With the Suns Miller-less and spectacularly bad away from home, he should be able to press pause and fill up for 130.
MARSHALL v Eagles
- L3 v Eagles: 85, 104, 88
- L3 @ MRVL: 79, 111, 117
Slated Marshall here because I think we’ll be particularly bad on Saturday. Lost class on all lines in Gov, Duggan, Yeo and Waterman. We will get pistol whipped. RoMo a lock for 140. Sinclair good too if you’ve got him.
Captaincy Candidates
BONTEMPELLI v Cats
- L3 v Cats: 141, 146, 113
- L3 @ GMHBA: 146, 143, 96
Blicavs or Atkins could sit on him I suppose but it’s exactly because of that skint midfield personnel that Bont is a look this week – midfielders and rucks filling right up against the Cats, win or loss. Left alone Bont does 140.
ENGLISH v Cats
- L3 v Cats: 117, 103, 156
- L3 @ GMHBA: 103, 79, 65
Super safe ruck economy for Tingles this week. DCam went 131, so back Tingles for nothing short of the same.
BUTTERS v Tigers
- L3 v Tigers: 175, 158, 104
- L3 @ AO: 159, 123, 98
Now on the cards with Graham, who’d been tagging over the last fortnight, ruled out. Becomes a delicious match up in which he can go 150. I mean, look at those numbers.
Brisbane v Sydney
Hard to draw out a single candidate here. Really depends on how you read the midfield battle and result. Suppose Gulden might be the safest to fill up on the outside with all the stoppages? Berry and Jordon also there to negate and do so very fluidly. Would be epic to see Heeney come straight in and bake.
Steer Clear
DAICOS v Hawks
- L3 v Hawks: 102, 41, 113
- L3 @ MCG: 89, 92, 64
Finn Maginness IN. No thanks.
SERONG v Dees
- L3 v Hawks: 102, 93, 75
- L3 @ OS: 84, 121, 91
Has enough clout to get Neal Bullen from the get go or if he starts to cook.
Smoky Pick
RYAN v Dees
- L3 v Dees: 124, 91, 141
- L3 @ OS: 99, 93, 132
He’s been bumming the last month and half, so if he’s gonna snap back into action it’s here: at home against the long bombing Dees with Pearce back in. Has to be safe for 120.

Verdict
Zerrett into Butters is the meta choice this week.

Butters into Ryan for me.
Butters is self-explanatory. Think Ryan goes big with Pearce and Cox back, playing at home vs Melbourne with their bad forward line entries in what I expect to be a D50 heavy game.
Rozee at home v Tigers into Dunks at home.
I went this way last week and it did not go particularly well – so I am going again!!
I have 2 trades and $489k in the bank. Wanting to get Butters and trade out JHF for his likely big score this week. JHF will likely bounce back this week though and I could keep trades for later. I also need to upgrade Richards or Dowling to a better forward option. Was considering Keays.
TU Hold JHF and loophole Dowling, saving 2 trades for later
TD Trade JHF to Butter for the C (and Richards to Keays) but no trades left
Trade talk ????
Apologies, was trying to make it seem Captaincy related lol
Yeah, dk what that’s doing here.
Sinc into Butters been locked in all week for me.
Left field Capt
TU- Treloar
TD- Ryan
Any love for Cripps or Walsh?
Martin for a Fri night sneaky VC?
Merrett into Butters for me.
Geelong’s midfield is a bit too restrictive for my liking
Houston a chance this week?
Not taking Merrett score
T/U Butters (in the wet!!)
T/D Gulden
Or English (prob also wet?)
T/U
T/D
Wet game, who to C
Tu: Butters
Td: Nank
Who gets the nod for captain duties..
TU Romo
TD Butters
I put the vc on English and just realised I stuffed up Coz all my remaining players are playing. Is there any way I can remove the captain completely? I remember it used to be possible but can’t figure it out
Not possible.
Only way is to trade out a remaining player to someone who isnt playing, from a team that hasnt played and field then with the c
Thumbs up Gulden
Thumbs down Ryan
