I also brought in Doc and captained him straight off the bat. Preparing for his first sub 90 score.

Hah I did the same because I figured that even if it jinxes him, at least I'll stop dropping behind everyone else so much each week. :p

I feel like I've been trying to get too creative with my captains over the last month. I think I just need to lock in Titch each week and leave it.
Exactly. I'd probably..... actually, definitely be ahead if I'd left it on Dangerfield all year. Some good results elsewhere (including loopholes) but some misses with Rockliff, Zerrett at etihad, even last weekend I fully intended to have Zorko after his past 2 scores. Lucky for me I forgot to change it. Dangerfields 140 much better than Zorkos 48.
Still lost my league match by 11points.

Rockliffs early scores were exactly why I paid over $700k for him, set & forget captain..
Was great early on. (last half of 2016 also avg 120+) so his fall from grace lately has been a shocker.

Injuries and contract/future uncertainties are taking their toll on him.

i wonder if Rocky has found a new home and is simply playing out time?

I think everyone has realised that Tom Mitchell is an absolute lock every week. Just wish it didn't take me so long to recognise it. Most o fmy captains have been good this season but if I had locked in Mitchell each week i'm pretty sure my points would be higher.

Titch's lowest score for the year against the Swans earlier, Swans say they'll go after him... JPK has a milestone match... I'm struggling to find an alternative though.

Z.Merret this week.
Shame he only plays 75% game time.
Few seasons in the system, he should be able to stay out there a bit longer. (especially as a goal kicking mid)

I accept benching = burst play when you return to the field but 3/4 of a game is on the low side for their best ball winner. Fix this Woosha.
