Re: Round 2 Captain

Swan again

Re: Round 2 Captain

Who is your captain, and why?

At the moment I am tossing up between Goddard, Gibbs or Judd.

Goddard because he has a good record against the Tiges. Judd and Gibbs because they are up against GC and they have a young and inexperienced team and more senior players SHOULD do well against them. Thoughts?

I have same 3 options maybe judd or gibbs. Can't see them being tagged out. But I also have Sandi/Cox both should do well again.

Re: Round 2 Captain

BJ. He'll rip the Tigers up.

 

[Kopout]

Re: Round 2 Captain

It would be Swan (if I had him).

Since I don't, it will be Judd, narrowly ahead of Goddard.

I just reckon Judd will have a field day going H2H with Ablett.

Re: Round 2 Captain

Swannie hasn't let me down yet, will be sticking with him till he does

Re: Round 2 Captain

Where's the poll?

 

[coryne]

Re: Round 2 Captain

Playing around with Captains too much is asking for trouble so I will be sticking with Swan. The dominant midfielder in the dominant team = guarenteed points (well as guarenteed as you can get)

 

[GotTheGoodes]

Re: Round 2 Captain

Yep, as mentioned, Swan is in great form in the in-form team. Although Judd against GC is pretty tempting as well...

 

[adam1302]

Re: Round 2 Captain

Has to be Goddard or Juddy this week

 

[ThePezDispenser]

Re: Round 2 Captain

Goddard did score 181 in the same game last year.

 

[Big Sledge #32]

Re: Round 2 Captain

Am very tempted to put it on Gibbs as I think he will have free reign against GC, but I'll probably just stick to Goddard/Swan

 

[obscura]

Re: Round 2 Captain

Either Ablett or Swan for me this week. Probably Swan, but since no one else is risking Gaz....

 

[ThePezDispenser]

Re: Round 2 Captain

Whoa...

You scored 2400 plus with a dormant Ablett?

That has win written all over it.

 

[Kynge of Begrem]

Re: Round 2 Captain

Swan - no doubt.

At Etihad Stadium.

Let's bloody hope so.

Re: Round 2 Captain

Murphy..... Possibly.

Re: Round 2 Captain

At Etihad Stadium.

Excellent point. Was tossing up over these two this weekend. thought Swan won't score that high again because port have no decent mids to run against him whereas the roos have swallow and Harvey then realised he is simply the most dominant player in the comp like ablett in 2008/2009/2010 start.

But he will still get more than Goddard will.

Swannie to get 180 this week now I reckon.

Captain locked in. Win coming up.

 

[Barnzy]

Re: Round 2 Captain

I'm tossing up between a few options.

Swan - Of course he's the obvious option. In good form and who at the Roos runs with him? Isn't their tagger (Greenwood) injured? Destroyed North last year. Not sure on the score though.

Goddard - Doubt we have anyone to go with him. Should do as he pleases and last time he played Richmond he scored 145.

Montagna - Strongly considering him this week. I don't think many people will pick him as captain over Swan. He loves playing against us. Had 25 touches in the first half last time we played them and 42 overall (also didn't really play much of the last quarter because of hamstring tightness). These sort of outside runners with big tanks always destroy us. Was top scorer with 173.

N. Riewoldt - No class defenders to match up on him. Scored 136 last time.

If you have him Jack Riewoldt could be a good unique choice. Nothing surer than him kicking another big bag this week against Fisher, Blake, etc. Kicked 7 goals and scored 160 points against St Kilda last time we played them. Don't have him though. Also considering Murphy or Gibbs against GC. They should be able to rack it up against the kids.

PS wheres the poll?

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

Re: Round 2 Captain

Swan (C)

 

[TheBryceisRight]

Re: Round 2 Captain

Although I like BJ or N. Roo I can't go past Buddy myself. Back at the G v Melbourne. Ready to explode. Won't be 2.6 this week. I'm just having a bit of trouble taking it off Cox from R1 though...

 

[TheBryceisRight]

Re: Round 2 Captain

P.S. there may have been movement on Sunday night when I found out North had no ruckman. If I had any doubt on giving him the C for R1 it disappeared in a flash with that news.

Don't do it.

 

[PP34]

Re: Round 2 Captain

Judd or Swan. Judd good have a big one against the young inexperienced gold coast.

 

[RiCHii]

Re: Round 2 Captain

Don't do it.

I love the confidence you have in your players. I literally LOL'd when I saw this.
