Captaincy Candidates
Daicos v Lions
L3 v Lions: 116, 112, 151 (126 avg.)
L3 @ G: 112, 151, 71 (111 avg.)
Lions not the greatest midfield match up but the way Daicos broke Jordon last week was spectacular. He’s in form and worth a look.
Zerrett v Eagles
L3 v Eagles: 135, 121, 110 (122 avg.)
L3 @ OS: 121, 126, 111 (119 avg.)
An auto VC if you’ve got him. Will reward patient owners with a 140+.
Gawn v Dockers
L3 v Dockers: 95, 98, 118 (104 avg.)
L3 @ MCG: 88, 129, 122 (113 avg.)
Nank wrung Darcy out like a sponge and a week won’t have made that great a deal’s difference to the underdone big fella. Maxxy solid for 120 as the Dees take their last stand.
Brayshaw v Dees
L3 v Dees: 137, 89, 127 (118 avg.)
L3 @ MCG: 137, 107, 136 (127 avg.)
With the expectation that Sparrow goes to Serong, Brayshaw should fleece the points donating Dees on ball.
Rowell v Tigers
L3 v Tigers: 113, 137, 108 (119 avg.)
L3 @ MRVL: 110, 79, 82 (90 avg.)
MID into Tiges! Tick! Rowel the more likely, on form, to attract McIntosh but can see him being broken quite easily. On for 130+.
Anderson v Tigers
L3 v Tigers: 128, 122, 144 (131 avg.)
L3 @ MRVL: 96, 91, 105 (97 avg.)
MID into Tiges! Tick! On for 130+.
Macrae v Dogs
L3 v Dogs: N/A
L3 @ MRVL: 120, 162, 47 (110 avg.)
Don’t let a low DE outing against Port and the Bedford tag sully your opinion of Macrae. His OB fundamentals remain sensational. Dogs don’t have the depth to deploy defensive attention, so back Macrae to make Bevo rue the day he let him go! Baseline of 120.
Smoky Picks
Zorko v Pies
L3 v Pies: 108, 127, 81
L3 @ G: 135, 136, 108
Certainly not as hot on him as other but anticipating the inquiries, so here are his numbers. Pies keeping things pretty tight but Zorko’s integral function in the Lions D50 ball movement will keep him in good stead during crunch time.
De Koning v Roos
L3 v Roos: 77, 96, 55 (76 avg.)
L3 @ MRVL: 133, 77, 95 (102 avg.)
TDK could really exploit Xerri if he’s still labouring under hamstring awareness. Dancing around big fellas is TDK’s bag. Confident he can go 125~ if you want an early option.
Holmes v Hawks
L3 v Hawks: 82, 84, 115 (94 avg.)
L3 @ MCG: 118, 110, 103 (110 avg.)
The Hawks looked really thin without Day last week and more broadly their ball movement has deteriorated sharply, so I’ve got the Cats really getting on top and stoppage and center bounce. Maginness, yes, could be used to clamp but the fact he didn’t touch Rozee or Butters last week can bring Holmes into the fore. He’s also got the capacity to retreat to HB. Solid for 120.
Smith v Hawks
L3 v Hawks: 53, 103, 63 (73 avg.)
L3 @ MCG: 69, 76, 122 (89 avg.)
I even like Smith, who played last week on full CBAs with tonne of outside run and meters gained post-clearance. Those attributes should line up well against the Hawks aforementioned issues.
Steer Clear
Dawson v Giants
L3 v Giants: 94, 126, 97 (106 avg.)
L3 @ AO: 60, 96, 103 (86 avg.)
Bedford. Ugh.
Verdict
Anderson into Macrae on my end. Got someone punching through in Dees Dockers. Think TDK returns with a vengeance and Zerrett, of course, is a must use if you’ve got him.
Great read as always.
What do you mean by this? “Got someone punching through in Dees Dockers.”
Zerrett into Smith at the moment, hopefully Zerrett will get the job done. Warning, My C lately have been a disaster
sheezel zerrett for me
Neale into TDK/Bray
from Voss’ press conference today sounds like Pittonet will be brought in so TDK can cover Mckay/Kemp up forward 🙁
Daicos into Shitfield will take 110 bad options for me this week :s
Setterfield tag so strong it’s impacting freo players playing against the demons haha.
Joking aside, thanks for the write up, it’s always super useful.
Lmao. Sorry. Meant Sparrow.
Depending on whether Pittonet is named or not I will be going….
VC – TDK or Hewett
C – Big Maxy
Haven’t had a C post over 100 for the last 4 rounds so probably best to steer clear of my choices.
Thanks GD.
I have Zerrett into Rowell.
Good luck to all for the round.
Zorko into Brayshaw here.
Worked last week.
I have sent a memo to all coaches of afl clubs to not put a TAG ME sign on the back of any potential VC or C player I may select this weekend
Daicos 150 loading into brayshaw
Not bad I was close 172 finally nailed my captain
Torn on whether to go
TU Daicos into Brayshaw
TD Brayshaw into Macrae
ATM Hewett > Holmes
Will Hewett now want to tag Sheezel ?
Will Hawthorn play like they did after 1/2 time last week and injure Holmes ?
Hmmmm……..
Max will run Shrek ragged so v on Max. Plenty of options if that fails.
Thoughts on Will Ashcroft for a cheeky VC?
Only have c Hall not playing so needed an early VC. Hoping for a big score from Neale tonight. Either a Pies win.
