Captains Captains Thread

Macrae owners have nothing to worry about. Just give him the C, he is averaging 150 the last few weeks!! Need to take advantage of having him in your side so just give him the C. Macrae is awesome on the inside and outside so he should have no trouble if the game is wet and contested. Will go 120 minimum tonight

 

[Joao]

Have Macrae (whom even when tagged still gets at least 99 this year) but if Brisbane don't tag Titch he'll go 160. That said, Jaeger is out so Titch is the only midfielder of note. I'd be tagging him hard personally.

Think my gut feel is Titch this week, but not sure if I have the nads to do it after last week. Wish either Gawn or Stef had better matchups.

What's the chances of someone going to Macrae tonight?
I feel if Bont plays midfield tonight he'd be the first to shut down.

Bont had 30 and 4 last week didn't he? That is more damaging than Macraes 47 IMO.

I'd Tag Bont but could see why Macrae may get attention. Be interesting to see how Adelaide go about it given their outs. They wouldn't normally tag but they are missing most of their mids.

Gibbs a sneaky captain choice tonight?

The Bont spent 70% game time forward last week hence the goals. Wouldn't surprise me if the same happened this week which probably sways the tag more towards Macrae... although I will be captaining Macrae so I hope this isn't the case

Gibbs a sneaky captain choice tonight?

Why? He's been hopeless for the past 4 weeks. I hope he does actually score big though..

 

[Cotchy9]

Thinking Gawn. Has gone 110+ in 7 of 8 games this year , with 4 over 120. Pretty safe bet I feel. Seems Titch is 70-80 or 130 this year

 

[JADED]

Titch to bounce back this week for me.
Stef as his emergency should any doubt creep into my mind.

Macrae 47 touches against Brisbane last week, maybe Mitchell can go for 50.
My league opponent doesn't have Macrae. If he goes big tonight, I'll kick myself for not captaining him.
Damnit, why can't I see future scores..

Calvin’s Captains

1. Jack Macrae - 155 and 150 are Macrae’s last two scores and this week he travels to play the Crows. A daunting task, yet in recent weeks the Crows have allowed Rockliff (127) and six of his team mates to score 100+ and prior to that Curnow (137) and Thomas (123) scored well for Carlton, and Lyons (131) and Swallow (130) top scored for the Suns.

2. Tom Mitchell - We forgive you Tom… on one condition. GO BIG! Yes he had just 58 last week, but this week he is up against the Brisbane Lions who Macrae (155) had a field day against last week. Our pig scored 132 against the Lions last year and surely he bounces back in a big way after having his lowest score since wearing a green vest in 2014.

3. Adam Treloar - Four Fremantle players had 30+ disposals last week against the Saints and I’m tipping this ball-magnet will be set for another big day against them as well.

4. Nat Fyfe - Plays one of his favourite teams in the Swans and has scored 100+ in six of his last seven against them. Could be tagged by Hewett, but loves the SCG where he has scored 107, 114 and 116 in his most recent games there.

5. Brodie Grundy - Only player in the game who has scored 100+ in the last seven weeks. Up against Hickey, expect this big gun to fire once again at Etihad Stadium.

Flip a coin haha.
It's probably going to come down to that this afternoon.

 

[Fyfetheknife]

Yeah this is killing me. Not sure if i have the balls to go Titch but no one else stands out

 

[Sonny Hayes]

Gawn or Titch and it is impossible to split them at the moment. Titch has the higher ceiling but Gawn seems safe as houses to go 100 at a minimum.

 

[Possum Vomit]

Titch vs Gawn with me. Probably stick with Titch as FOMO.

Kreuzer is a tough matchup though

Chris Fagan: "We are mindful of Tom Mitchell’s great talent, especially around stoppages. We will consider plans needed to dwell his influence."

That's ok, they can put time into his stoppage work as long as he can run around getting uncontested marks.

Putting it on Titch based on the fact that I don't have a better option

 

[The Joker]

When you say it like that, absolutely. However, if you add his 1 goal, 3 goal assists, 10 score involvements, 10 clearances and 8 I50's, it evens things out a bit...

 

[Fyfetheknife]

I'm on Stef at the moment- don't have Macrae and am wary of Titch

Fair enough. Was only 24 and 4 FTR.

 

[Rise_up_Stiffy]

I feel like taking a punt on Robbie Gray

 

[Iskender Time]

All the way with Jackson Macrae.

 

[JADED]

Going with Macrae. All my decent options "might" cop a tag. May as well get it over with tonight.
Opponent doesn't have Macrae.

Worth noting, Q1 was his worst last week so don't panic.

If I had Rockliff, I'd probably take that gamble as he used to dominate GC in the Q clashes. Should feel at home for him putting up a big score against Gold Coast. China game was not all that physical last year, free flowing, fantasy friendly.

 

[The Joker]

I am going with Marc Murphy, its make or break time...
