Round 23 Captaincy Candidates – Follow the Winners? Round 22 gave us some absolutely ridiculous SuperCoach scores. Rankine went nuclear with 223, followed by Rowell 174, Bailey Smith 161, Miller 157, LDU 156 and Neale 155. Once again, they all had one thing in common, they played in winning teams. We mentioned this last week … Read more
Round 22 Captaincy Candidates – Matchups Matter Round 21 was a tough one. Personally, I banked my VC score from my new recruit, Will Ashcroft, and in hindsight I think it was the right call. There was uncertainty everywhere. Bont finished with 61, Bailey Smith 79, Luke Jackson 79 and Grundy only 102 in the … Read more

Captaincy Candidates – Round 21 Well, we’ve made it. Round 21. If you’ve survived this season with your sanity intact, congratulations.

Captainancy Candidates – Round 19 Round 18 was another good week for the captaincy selections. Our VC options all did their job. Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera led the way with a brilliant 154 – personally, I happily took that score and didn’t think twice about chasing something bigger. Nick Daicos produced 121, Lachie Ash 112 and Harry … Read more
Captainancy Candidates – Round 18 We’re changing things up a little this week, i’ve been a little short on time this week with the start of the new financial year. Rather than working through the fixtures game by game, let’s focus on the players themselves. At this stage of the season most coaches know the … Read more
