Danger into Macrae for me.

 

[mezaire]

Thinking Danger into Brayshaw as he should go big against Essendon

 

[JDWCE]

I'll VC Sloane this week. Oliver and Brayshaw did well against Cats so can see Sloane going large at AO

 

[JADED]

Might go Laird or Danger VC.
Not sure I'll captain Macrae. Tagged round 1, ok round 2, will likely get tagged by Tauk Miller this week. Macrae should go 100+ but I'll back Coniglio with the C to rebound with a big score if needed.

 

[Andrew Birch]

Got just a few VC options this week
Sloane
M Crouch
B Crouch
Laird
Danger
T Kelly

C Grundy

Sloane can go absolutely monstrous on his day so he would be the one I would be rolling the dice with

Danger VC

Not taking anything under 125. Conigs, Rocky, Bray should all be huge.

 

[Shadow89]

Gonna go a little different and chuck the VC on Brouch, as everyone else will be going Laird, Mrouch, Sloane or Danger. Had a huge first half before getting tagged towards the end by Hewett. Chuck the C on Bray, as he looks to have got his mojo back and Essendon are useless at the mo

 

[DynamiteDons]

Might stick with Fyfe again this week, was serviceable last week and has match up at home against Saints. But honestly hoping Danger goes big and can VC loophole him

I think my best hopes are a VC loophole on Thursday, the bar will be lower

I will choose from Danger, MRouch or Brouch.

My non loop options aren't that great this week. Cripps (vs Hewett), Grundy or Whitfield/Lloyd

 

[bl4ke]

VC Matt Crouch, C Coniglio

 

[Aussie_boy]

VC Matt Crouch, C Coniglio

Same here, Cogs too good not to bounce back. That being said my line will be about 115.

 

[Joao]

Danger (VC) Didn't Kennedy have 40 touches last week?

Leaving the C on Crae against GC.

 

[_Cayz_]

Think I will pick Brouch over the more obvious VC options this week I own in Laird and Danger.

 

[TheRednWhite]

Danger VC needs 120+...otherwise Cogs and Bray need to suit up

 

[Corby_4]

Anyone backing in Crae against GC at Marvel?
Feel he's due for a 140+

Danger VC into Crae C personally.

 

[hjckr]

I don't have him but I reckon Whitfield is a pretty good bet for a C. He's up against Richmond who have been conceding loads of points recently, but more importantly he's a defender against Richmond. Guess who scored 142 against them in Round 2? Jack Crisp. Who top scored for Carlton against the Tigers in Round 1? Nic Newman. Guess who scored 123 against them in the Prelim? Jack Crisp (again). The common link of all of these players are that they are defenders playing against Richmond. We saw how many points the Richmond forward line leaked (in Fantasy) last year, and surely this doesn't improve, with the Tiges losing the current Coleman medallist in Jack Riewoldt.

On top of this, Whitfield has been exceptional to start the year. He was the third best Fantasy player against Essendon in Round 1 despite the ball virtually not travelling to his end of the ground at all. And in round 2 against the Eagles, he top scored with 133, which was a whole 40 POINTS more than the next best player (Adam Kennedy). Whitfield also has nothing to fear about a tag from Richmond unlike Macrae, since they don't tag and because Kelly or Coniglio should get the tag before Whitfield.

Think I’ll be VC-ing Sloane, putting the C on Lloyd or Coniglio if need be...

 

[powerrrrrrrrrrrr]

Tossing between b crouch and danger for the vc (leaning towards the safer bet in danger)

And likely macrae against the suns gets the c

Would love to give it to rocky again but just concerned if he gets a Robinson tag how he’ll go

 

[TheVelourFog]

I know he wasn't amazing last time I captained him but surely Brayshaw goes massive this week. Pretty much must win against a poor Bombers team he will have to do whatever he can to make sure Melbourne wins and that means a 150 from him

 

[Rise_up_Stiffy]

VC Sloane
C Cogs

 

[JDWCE]

Dangers record against the Crows and at AO is outrageous

 

[TheRednWhite]

My line for Danger VC just increased to 127. If you have Macrae you should accept not a point less than 130, Crae is going to go huge (150+). This is the game where he reverses all the price drops he has had so far. This is why I knew it would be so hard to just wait for macrae to drop in price...he just won't ever have a real stinker so you're not going to be able to get him in until after his bye at the very least (most likely will be longer). Those with Crae need to cash in now and captain him.

Another reason why the Danger VC line increased to 127 is because of Bray and Cogs. Both should be good for 130+ this week with their matchups. I hardly ever captain a defender (last was probably Shaw way back when he was as filthy as Lloyd is now), but Whitfield and Lloyd should really be talked about as captain options now.

In order: Macrae, Bray, Cogs, Whit, Lloyd

Danger not the best VC option but he's the best that I have. I would go for the highest ceiling because the above 5 are more than handy backups. So I like Sloane, Laird and Mrouch as VC. I reckon Laird will enjoy the freedom after being tagged last week. Mrouch had no right to ton from 19 disposals last week, he'll be back to 30+ possessions this week.

Probably a smart option. He is hopefully less likely to get an awkward 110-115 score than some of the other options. Much more likely to go 120+ or <80.

Calvin says

VC RANKINGS: Dangerfield, Matt Crouch… Sloane, Laird, Brad Crouch & Tim Kelly.
VC LINE: 120 (if you have a player in my top 5)

And for Captain
