Captaincy Candidates – Round 5

Captaincy Candidates

Dawson v Cats

L3 v Cats: 98, 96, 122 (105 avg.)

L3 @ AO: 96, 103, 143 (114 avg.)

Really getting looked after CD as well as playing some efficient football, so like Dawson tonight for 120.

Sheezel v Suns

L3 v Suns: 141, 86, 53 (93 avg.)

L3 @ BP: N/A

“Thank the gods!” they cried as Sheezel returned to HB last week. 34 touches and 144. We love that. Despite the Suns’ strength, they seem to pay no mind to their opposition accumulating uncontested ball in D50. Sheezel, hopefully, back to his old ways and salutes with a 130.

De Koning v Eagles

L3 v Eagles: 118, 91, 48 (86 avg.)

L3 @ AO: 140, 100, 52 (97 avg.)

Dreading this. As a non-TDK owner, as an Eagles supporter. 150 is honestly conservative…

Neale v Dogs

L3 v Dogs: 134, 117, 135 (129 avg.)

L3 @ NO: 125 (125 avg.)

The Doggies are competitive but fast and loose OB at the moment, as evidenced by both Brayshaw and Serong filling up last week. Neale right on the mark for 120+.

Dunkley v Dogs

L3 v Dogs: 104, 108 (106 avg.)

L3 @ NO: 122 (122 avg.)

Dunks an identical proposition as Neale, with the added motivation of coming up against his old maybe.

Zerrett v Dees

L3 v Dees: 82, 134, 147 (121 avg.)

L3 @ AO: 109, 136, 106 (117 avg.)

While I think we’re all expecting the Dees to bounce back and regale their clearance dominance, they’re still a good match up for prime users. With Caldwell out, the Dons should also normalize their CBAs. Zezz solid for 130.

Dockers v Tigers

Didn’t have it in me to delineate all of Serong, Brayshaw, Clark and Ryan this week as they’ll all go great guns this week. If anyone’s having trouble splitting them, I’m happy to provide numbers in the comments but generally speaking I’ve got the on ballers, Serong and Brayshaw, as first ballot at both 125+ and then Ryan and Clark as safe shouts against soft opposition.

Smoky Picks

Cerra v Eagles

L3 v Eagles: 134, 103, 93 (110 avg.)

L3 @ AO: 81, 106, 113 (100 avg.)

The epitome of pretty boy football, Cerra does nothing except when it falls in his lap by way of TDK, Cripps or sheer luck. The Eagles present the perfect opportunity for him to cosplay as a ball winning midfielder. Expecting his highest score of the year. Cripps, his Atlas like counterpart, also a great shout.

Zorko v Dogs

L3 v Dogs: 95, 68, 6 (56 avg.)

L3 @ NO: 96 (96 avg.)

Definitely have the MIDs ahead of him but a close contest keeps Zorko attentive and stable in his scoring. Definitely tons.

Rozee v Hawks

L3 v Hawks: 98, 48, 74 (73 avg.)

L3 @ AO: 76, 130, 96 (101 avg.)

With Day out and Worpel a test, the Port midfield should get on top. Rozee, being the downhill skier he is, should relish those clearance wins – irrespective of how the game goes around the ground. A likely 120 by way of response.

Steer Clear

Daicos v Swans

L3 v Swans: 66, 135, 81 (94 avg.)

L3 @ AO: 102, 99, 72 (91 avg.)

Gets Jordon. Pass.

Xerri v Suns

L3 v Suns: 119, 82, 51 (84 avg.)

L3 @ BP: N/A

Managing a hamstring issue and running laps instead of completing main training. Coupled with crashing into the Suns midfield, I’d pass and just hope he tons.

Saints v Giants

Bedford and Windhager mainstays of both sides. Could easily peel off their starting opponent to whoever cooks early. I wouldn’t bother trying to find a diamond in the rough. Pass.

Verdict

A really fun week on the small and fast decks of South Australia. TDK an auto VC/C. With your other slot, hunt the open midfield match ups detailed above. Sheezel into Brayshaw on my end and bracing you all to smoke me with TDK 168.

  2. What a bad week for Captains, nobody is standing out. Neale into Zerrett is the most likely for me, but I am open to suggestions.

  3. Initially was going Dawson into TDK, but Scott said they’ll put attention into Dawson and Rankine, so it’s going to be TDK into Serong for me

  4. Great article, considering I totally forgot about the SDK option somehow……..

    Although, now worried about the “Murphy’s Law” hammy ping in the first two minutes……>_>

  18. TDK into Serong for me. I’d be surprised if I didn’t take the C off Serong. TDK should and will blitz the hapless Eagles.

  20. Question for you all.

    If you have a player (A) on field as a non playing captain loop, and the e to take his place (B), is from the same team, does B also become captain when he replaces A, or does you v become captain ??

    Hope that makes sense.
