Captaincy Candidates – Round 9

Written by Gunboat Diplomacy on May 9 2024

Vice-Captaincy Candidates

GAWN v Blues

  • L3 v Blues: 84, 103, 129
  • L3 @ MCG: 111, 162, 138

Gets sub 70% TOG Pittonet this week. Sails to 140 and kicks your round off brilliantly.

BUTTERS v Cats

  • L3 v Cats: 137, 99, 118
  • L3 @ GMHBA: 137, 118

Cats a good midfield match up, small deck, tight contest. Don’t think Blicavs can go to him like he did to Petracca. Solid for 130.

RYAN v Swans

  • L3 v Swans: 111, 85, 128
  • L3 @ OS: 106, 89, 130

Naming him here just in case lightning strikes twice. Swans not a favourable DEF match up but Ryan enjoys full economy like no other defender. Serong and Heeney should be square for 120s too.

Captaincy Candidates

BONTEMPELLI v Tigers

  • L3 v Tigers: 153, 122, 136
  • L3 @ MCG: 126, 122, 107

Really don’t see Bont going any less than 140 here. Doggies will fill up against the Tigers, Bont to lead. Don’t think they go for Pickett tag.

ROWELL v Roos

  • L3 v Roos: 131, 124, 125
  • L3 @ TIO: 101, 159, 125

Obvious one here: MID v Roos. Suns will also overcompensate and look to eviscerate North. Like any of Rowell, Miller, Anderson and Flanders for 125+. They’ve been to TIO a fair bit too.

DAICOS v Eagles

  • L3 v Eagles: 123, 125
  • L3 @ MRVL: 139, 124, 69

The Eagles’ competitive on ball edge has been dulled by what looks to be Yeo out for a bit and Reid rebuilding match fitness. Daicos a lock for 130 after a fortnight of gutsy performances.

Smoky Pick

MERRETT v Giants

  • L3 v Giants: 99, 111, 71
  • L3 @ MRVL: 108, 131, 96

If Green doesn’t get up, Zezz then becomes a great look for 130.

History

  • Round 1: Green 152
  • Round 2: Green 137
  • Round 3: Gulden 73
  • Round 4: Butters 119
  • Round 5: Rowell 135
  • Round 6: Daicos 133
  • Round 7: Rowell 136
  • Round 8: Merrett 121

Verdict

With Hamill dead, I’m able to go Bont into Daicos. Hopefully that can bail me out of no Gawn. For who haven’t been hating their lives, you may as well straight C him.

  1. Daicos plays at Marvel this week GD – stats are correct for Marvel venue, but you put Optus.

    1. Lol. Thanks, Lisa. I’m going to the game and I’ve somehow butchered that.

      Unless the Mernda line goes to Perth now.

  2. Somewhat nervously I am overlooking Gawn this round and going Bont into NDaicos.

    At least the way my team is looking I will have plenty of loophole options.

  4. Gawn then one of Miller,Bont or Daicos for me.
    Having a sneaky thought about chucky for vc- Hewett goes to Tracc leaving one of Viney or Chucky to get off the chain?? Blues use De Koning as well to drag Maxxy deep?

  5. Pretty stock standard setup here.
    Bont into naicos, latter won’t be needed.
    Would love to go anderson into bont but can’t work it. That GC midfield will absolutely tear my shinboners apart up there.
