Captains 2023 Fantasy VC & Captain Selections

[Barrybran]

How are we all feeling about a Bont 110 in Darwin? Other options are Daicos (NM), Dawson (BRI), Green (GEE), Butters (RIC), Taranto (PA) and Dunkley (ADE).

 

[Pure Grunt]

I didn't back Anderson when he was racking up 130's and then when I loop him he scores an inexplicable 80 something against West Coast. How do you go back to back 130's and then score 86 against West Coast in a flogging! So frustrating. It's making me scared to captain Zerrett because in reality he should be racking up 160 minimum without O'neill tagging, but it always seems to be the games you least expect when they randomly spud it up.

Assuming Eagles keep the tag mentality going
I think Eagles will have Yeo on Merrett at stoppages and Ginbey will follow him.
XOn is annoying tagger but those two in tandem would be effective.
Just guessing obviously.

I’m genuinely tempted to take Gulden’s score given how bad the captain options feel this week.

Whichever of Laird, Dunkley, Kelly, Daicos, English, Marshall, Merrett, Taranto, Anderson, Butters I pick will be the one who goes for an 80

Nah ...can't take Gulden's score

I keep oscillating between Laird and Dunkley as (C) .....if Merrett fails as (VC)

In the rain at Adelaide Oval .....both tackling beasts should have a big night

I'm always nervous on players away from home .....Butter v RICH only as (VC) though

Bookmakers seem to have the following. Not that it’s reflective, but they’re in it to predict best to maximise returns

Laird 111.5
Merrett 110.5
Anderson 104.5
Dawson 105.5
Bont 109.5
Green 109.5
Daicos 104.5
Taranto 117.5
Butters 100.5
Dunkley 109.5

They’re still hot on Taranto despite the matchup

 

[Cotchy9]

Rain in Adelaide might be enough for me to go Laird, can see a 25-30 touch and 10+ tackles

Laird C for me as it seems my best option.
Edit. Grey and rainy.

We can't use any of the bye players as loops right?

You can use them!

 

[dplggr47]

You can use them!

So they don't lock out until the very last game? I was thinking they'd lock out after the first game, since they don't play at all. Makes VC loop way easier if that is true.

They lock out at the start of the last game. As you can choose to trade them to a player playing this week.

 

[Exambolor]

I think the bye weeks are ones that you can’t be too greedy with the VC loops, anything over 100 i feel should be taken

VC: Walsh
C: Bont

 

[Lukesera]

Plenty of juicy match ups this week

Walsh v Melb
Butters/Rozee v Hawks
Naicos v Eagles
Laird v GC
Green/Taranto - GWS v Tigers
Merrett v North

Just a matter of picking the right one

Naicos VC
Laird C

 

[bettingonbetts]

Laird VC and Merrett C
No one can change my mind

 

[Coasters7]

Lairds gotta be it. Ideal conditions up in Darwin for a player like him against a side he’s already got previous form against. Could be a 25+ kick and 12+ tackle game incoming

Naicos VC

Not sure about Daicos this week. The thirst will be there but will the ball get back to half back enough for a VC?

 

[Lukesera]

I read somewhere he had season high CBAs (40ish%) against North and Mcrae sees him as a future inside mid. I think he’ll be given a similar opportunity against us. Worth a punt as VC. Pretty confident Laird will get it done as Captain if he fails

 

[happy_eagle]

New recruit Laird into Taranto is the plan at this stage

 

[kozi]

Laird or Taranto into Zez against North. Actually a tough choice between Laird/Taranto (must mean Laird is going pretty well)

If whoever I pick fails for a 120 it's a sign I should go Zerrett (c) anyway. Cast you minds back to that majestic 172 he had on them last year

Why not Laird (VC) into Taranto (C) ?

 

[kozi]

Want Zerrett as the (c). If he doesn't get any attention think he's a good shout at beating them all (plus still low owned)

 

[JADED]

Daicos VC, Laird C.
Some consideration to Taranto against his old side or Green vs Taranto.

Quite sure I'll play it safe over the byes considering I've been a bit silly of late passing on a 117 & 126 in 2 consecutive weeks (Rd 9&10) and falling asleep on my phone before looping Marshalls 159 in Rd 7 with available red dots. Saved a bit by Oliver's 125 that week at least

 

[wcns]

I've got Laird to Taranto at the moment, but going the Daicos to Laird options is mighty tempting...

I've gone Laird into Merrett ....didn't Merrett score 170 in the corresponding game last year

 

[Fitzey]

New recruit Trac into Merrett I think
