Re: Round 2 Captaincy

Anyone have O'Keefe?

Round 3 Captain?

With Ablett's slow start to the season, and with Roo and JB in red hot form, will people be giving the captaincy to them two over Ablett? Very tempted to give Roo the captaincy, but I know if I do, Ablett will explode and rip out 170+

Re: Round 3 captain?

It's very tempting...Ablett coming off a 6 day break, travelling to WA and playing his 'bogey' side in Freo.

I'm contemplating lining up ROK for the big C this week against the Tigers judging by the scores of the WB midfield last week.

Re: Round 3 captain?

I had to choose between Vince,Roo,Selwood,Dal Santo and ROK.
I believe ROK will score the highest as the swans are up against Richmond.
If you have Ablett stick with him; You payed too much for him to make somebody else captain.

Re: Round 3 captain?

My thinking is...

If Presti gets named, I'll take Ablett
If Presti doesn't get names, I'll take Riewoldt

ROK is still making me think in both cases.

Re: Round 3 captain?

Those lucky buggers with Montagna should choose him, he should rape Collingwood.

That's a win-win for them I guess.

Re: Round 3 captain?

ROK for mine he will dominate against Richmond it hurts me to say.

Don't understand your logic. Rooey ripped Presti a new one in the Qualifying Final last year and will do the same on Friday Night.

I know, but I gotta find some excuse to pick Ablett as my C, considering what I paid

Re: Round 3 captain?

I will be picking Montagna this week.Picked up a lazy 32 and 38 possessions against the pies last year.Never thought when i picked Ablett in my team after three weeks he would be my captain once.

 

[LiverpoolRed]

Re: Round 3 captain?

I have Ablett, R'Ok, Roo, Brown, NDS and Pav to choose from, I chose GAJ at the start of the year for the sole reason of playing him as a captain for the whole season. But in saying that R'Ok is so tempting as he is to class for richmond to stop, I think he will destry us, 35pos and 4 goals is on the cards

Re: Round 3 captain?

Ablett's best mate Crowley will probably do the job on the little champ, which is a bit worrying. That being said, I'll still be locking him in as captain.

Re: Round 3 captain?

No Ablett for me so, ROK Goodes or ROO

This is a myth from 2008 where he had his 2 worst scores for the year were against them, the first match he was well beaten the second match he was clear best on ground at half time sitting on about 70 odd points before he hurt his ankle and Bomber took his careful approach with Gaz.

Last year he did well from memory, I'm gonna keep it with Gaz but ROK against the Tigers is playing on my mind a lot. He is in sensational touch at the minute.

Re: Round 3 captain?

ROK is a bit of a risk against Richmond. Scored two 90's last year against Richmond & a 99 in their only meeting the year before.

Whereas Riewoldt has had a 142 last year & a 110 the year before against us.

Assuming that these one of these 90's was at the start of last year when ROK was pulling 85s instead of 130s like he was mid year. When he is this form he tends to get on a run and Richmond are probably even less equipped to counter him than last year

Re: Round 3 captain?

didnt gaz have a monster score at the end of last year against freo at subi? or was that against wce? i cant remember but i remember it was a sunday twilight and he got around 40 + touches and scored a monster 170+

 

[jinny1]

Re: Round 3 captain?

going ROK this week ^^ hopefully the risk pays off...pissed NDS got in the 70s when i put him in as captain in round 1

Did ROK play HF or in the midfield? And wasn't there talks about trading ROK then he decided to stay at Swans he ran riot...I vaguely recall this.. I think I"m over-thinking it, and I know I should pick ROK but I really want to pick Goodes....LOL...

IIRC didn't Goodes scored 200+ last time he played Tigers (but I think he was in the midfield)....

Re: Round 3 captain?
