AFL 2019 FIXTURE - Primetime and special event games

Adelaide Crows: Five (two Thursday nights, three Friday nights)
Brisbane Lions: One (Thursday night)
Carlton: One (Thursday night)
Collingwood: 11 (two Thursday nights, seven Friday nights, Anzac Day, Queen’s Birthday)
Essendon: Eight (two Thursday nights, four Friday nights, Good Friday, Anzac Day)
Fremantle: Nil
Geelong Cats: Four (one Thursday night, three Friday nights)
Gold Coast Suns: Nil
GWS Giants: Two (one Thursday night, one Friday night)
Hawthorn: Five (five Friday nights)
Melbourne: Six (one Thursday night, three Friday nights, Anzac Eve, Queen’s Birthday)
North Melbourne: Four (three Friday nights, Good Friday)
Port Adelaide: Three (two Friday nights, Good Friday)
Richmond: Seven (three Thursday nights, three Friday nights, Anzac Eve)
St Kilda: Nil
Sydney Swans: Six (one Thursday night, five Friday nights)
West Coast Eagles: Four (one Thursday night, two Friday nights, Good Friday)
Western Bulldogs: One (Friday night)

So by the loks of it, Tigers/Pies/Bombers players are best for VC loopholes.

Note that there's also a Wednesday night game in round 6 (double-partial lockout that week) with Richmond vs. Melbourne. So add Melbourne to that list and bump Richmond up one more as well!

But you need a non playing player. Shouldn't be many available, possibly Flynn or Fort as ppls R4 and even those 2 are a slight chance of getting a game.

I'd prefer a full board of green dots.
Wait, do we have green dots this year?
Let me guess, they've forgotten them.

Yep, I'm planning to Ruck 2 on the bench as emergency and a non-playing ruck rookie on field and give them the captaincy. Does backfire if my other ruck goes down but oh well.

Brayshaw vs Treloar vs Dangerfield

I can't split them, some clarity please?

 

[guero]

Brayshaw VC, Treloar C for me.

I would have had the VC on Dusty but he didn’t make the cut in my 1063rd team rejig.

 

[JDWCE]

I think with all the changes at Port this year that Melbourne could tear them a new one. Therefor Oliver Brayshaw both looking the goods. Danger against pies should be good. Grundy also. Cops against bombers the most likely for me

West Coast win the Grand Final and only have the same number as North Melbourne? Less than Sydney and Hawks who are predicted to slide... okay ive known this for months but it still gets right up me!

-laughs in VFL-

On a serious note it is quite a joke.

 

[JADED]

VC Walsh. Smashing debut.

 

[Possum Vomit]

Thinking Danger tonight against the Pies? Other option is Coniglio against the Bombers I suppose?

 

[JADED]

My App has doubled the VC score..
Does it know my captain (Macrae) won't play or is it assuming I'll loophole. Crae still on field, still C.

Weird if they double the VC score, then revert to normal score once captain plays.

no vc double here

Glitch in you favour, collect double points.

 

[Zevon]

Anyone else considering taking Newman’s 115 VC score? It’s probaly a little below par given I think Danger could easily go 125+ tonight. Having said that, it seems silly risking an injury or sub-par score from Danger just to chase an extra 10 or 15 points. Bit torn.

I don't think many on here have Newman let alone the VC on him

 

[Cotchy9]

Treloar, Brayshaw or Coniglio?

 

[Zevon]

Fair. Would you take 115 if you had it? It’s that awkward in-between sort of score if you’re talking captains.

 

[Corby_4]

Don't have Cogs so leaning towards Macrae at Marvel.
Treloar, Bray, Grundy and Danger also options

Nah. I'd take anything over 120

 

[TheVelourFog]

I'm going Brayshaw against a young and somewhat understrength Port at the MCG. I reckon he will have a tonne of space and get close to 150

Well, this didn't happen.

At least he didn't completely spud up though, like Oliver or Grundy, I can live with 200.

Yeah look for a while there I didn't even think he'd make it to 100. But Melbourne played absolutely terribly so I'm hoping if they improve so will he.

 

[Joao]

I am super happy Macrae still got 107 with attention and especially that Bont got off the leash. Should make teams think twice about targetting Crae with a tag.

It was a tense last quarter. 57 to 100, imagine if he put it all together

 

[Beau_Waters for PM]

Macrae again for me next week, against the Hawks.
Sloane 144, M.Crouch 132 against them in Rd 1 suggests they are vulnerable here.

Maybe those thinking about trading out Dunkley should think again
