Captains 2023 Round 7 VC / Captain

[kyri]

With Little Nicky going huge again, how can we ignore our new modern day GAJ perma captain any longer??

All hail the new King Gull.

Options for this week would surround who is your loophole for this week? With many still relying on Madden, and GWS playing early on Saturday, not many VC options present themselves.



Anyone game enough to VC Neale? Surely the Darcy owners will think of giving him a crack.

Over to you scoopsroy

 

[gutsroy]

toxic could name his price, you'd have to say

 

[Flandersss]

Bont/Oliver VC
Naicos C

 

[Maybe Tomorrow]

Assuming Kentstable isn't playing.

VC English
C Laird/Daicos

 

[Nelso]

Piggy VC

Naicos C

I expect that the Crows will try to tag Naicos. Keays would be the obvious choice as he played that role before.

 

[Vacuous Space]

Caminiti locked out from the first game and Madden's game starts 25 mins into the second game. Unless I have someone else out, I think I'm going to have to VC Marshall, Rozee or Sinclair, which is not ideal.

GWS games should always be last game Sunday.

 

[Raveneyes]

Still carrying Chesser, and WC play Saturday night, so opens up some options.

Bont (VC)
Lord King Sir Nicholas (C) - he got 40+ and 3 goals vs the Crows in Adelaide last year.

 

[The Defender]

VC - English
C - Oliver

Keays has to be hard tag Daicos

 

[SC fish]

Roberts is my only guaranteed loophole as I'm expecting Constable will be named.

In which case it's Marshall or JHF VC

 

[stevebbb]

Piggy VC

Naicos C

I expect that the Crows will try to tag Naicos. Keays would be the obvious choice as he played that role before.

93% TOG for Nicky D. It's insane how fit he's gotten.

He's untaggable. If you try to body him, he'll just outrun anybody. Tag him down back, he'll go in the centre bounce, or up forward.

Yes you can stop his handball receives off half back, but he'll hurt you everywhere else.

I think his floor is 30 touches and 100 points.

 

[Raveneyes]

Roberts is my only guaranteed loophole as I'm expecting Constable will be named.

In which case it's Marshall or JHF VC

Desperate men do desperate things!

EDIT. Just went lurking on the Suns board and nobody has Constable IN

Thoughts Maybe Tomorrow RowellAnderson12 Choppers

 

[Kedford]

Daicos is projected to score 166 this weekend

 

[Chaisa]

Urgh the gap between the Bont and Oliver's games is far too small to safely VC/C them.

Thinking Rozee VC / Oliver C, but might also do Oliver VC and Dawson/Daicos C.

 

[Maybe Tomorrow]

EDIT. Just went lurking on the Suns board and nobody has Constable IN

Thoughts Maybe Tomorrow RowellAnderson12 Choppers

Doubt it. Davies, Hollands, or Humphrey more likely.

 

[Chronz]

Bont > Piggy if Constable doesn't play.

Still don't want to put the C Jinx on Naicos just yet.

 

[stevebbb]

Lots of juicy options this week

I'll probably just stick with this combo for the year

VC Bont
C Oliver

 

[Hack_Watts]

Laird last three vs Collingwood:

2022 - 154 Points
2021 - 144 Points
2020 - 185 Points

 

[mochacinolatte]

Bont into Cripps/Daicos

 

[GT619]

Bont into piggy/naicos

 

[Judd_Magic]

Butchered my VC and C choice with Dawson and Oliver last round so no idea who do go with this week.

Bont\English VC

Oliver\Daicos C

Whoever I pick I'll get it wrong.

is an obvious VC play this week. We're gonna get smashed in the ruck.

When we played against Bailey Williams, he scored 133, 50 points higher than his previous biggest score.

When we played against English, he was the top scoring ruck that week with 139.

When we played against Ladhams, he scored 113, 40 higher than his second highest score for the year.

When we played against O'Brien, he scored 121, his highest for the year and well above his current 3 game average of 73.

When we played against Darcy Cameron

, he scored 137, 34 points more than his second highest score of the (admittedly short) year.

The only game where our ruck opponent didn't feast was Round 1. Every other time, playing ruck against Port is a golden ticket. Rowan Marshall

has gotten 120+ twice this year already so we know he's got a good pedigree. And he works with a Madden loop too.

Seems a perfect VC candidate to me.

 

[Petrify]

Bonts 200th game makes him a compelling choice, only worry is Hawks love a tag...
