rd2 captain selection

[frantelle]

now that rd1 is behind us and rd2 only a few days away, who is everyone going to put as captain this week and why?
im thinking daniel cross, has had a great average against melbourne recently

 

[Tippaz]

i'm gonna stick with Cox.

*avoid Kane Cornes though. they play Sydney (DT killjoys!!)

i have JB as captain, and cross as vice

 

[KouDogg]

I am changing Cross to Cox.

Its Cox vs Adilade who have no ruckmen....he will have a day out.

My vice is Swan.

Yeh im swinging your way im gonna chuck in cross as capatain. He had an average game against crows so im relying on him to bounce back, and they play melbourne, even goodes and stanton could get points against the dees right now ahah

 

[stylz]

brad johnson for me.. vs melbournes non-existant backline

 

[TDub23]

Gotta go Cox this round if you have him i say.

 

[lifelike_]

Cross scored 149 the last time we played Melbourne at the MCG.

I'll probably go with Cox though.

Dean Cox (c), Brad Johnson (vc)

that's for now, i'll wait for happy_eagles usual stats to finalise it

[Jolldo87]

hehe, ok they are coming soon

thanks mate

 

[WakeUpPies]

i am going with cross, all the melbourne mids except jones looks disinterested, should be able to score 300

 

[DonMania#5]

Will probably go with Big Cox again.

 

[leungtl]

Keeping the faith with Cross. Should rack up 50 handballs

 

[KouDogg]

Keeping the faith with Cross. Should rack up 50 handballs

[Juddy88]

Ok, round 2 is here, along with some good matches, and good captain choices.

averages are done throughout past 5 matches, and mentally so it takes time

Doing it match by match

Friday- Collingwood vs Brisbane

Collingwood
D.Swan- averages 60 against Brisbane (scores of 119, 78, 21, 63, 19)
H.Shaw- averages 84.7 against Brisbane (scores of 119, 46, 89)
T.Lockyer- averages 90.6 against Brisbane(scores of 70, 150, 95, 84, 54)
T.Cloke- averages 58 against Brisbane (scores of 52, 80, 42)
J.Fraser- averages 74.8 against Brisbane (scores of 51, 88, 75, 92, 68)
Historic player- Nathan Buckley averaged 109 against brisbane

Brisbane
J.Brown- averages 91 against Collingwood (scores of 111, 85, 101, 68, 90)
S.Black- averages 103.8 against Collingwood (scores of 97, 122, 105, 99, 96)
N.Lappin- averages 102 against Collingwood (scores of 89, 92, 106, 114, 109)
L.Power- averages 97 against Collingwood (scores of 104, 97, 89, 91, 107)
T.Johnstone- averages 82 against Collingwood (scores of 52, 53, 135, 120,50)
Historic Player- Micheal Voss averaged 75 against Collingwood

Obvious choices: Swan, Black, Power

Matchup Worries:
Will be interesting to see how N.Brown plays on J.brown
Players like pendlebury will get tagged before Swan
Collingwoods rucks should out score brisbanes
Brisbanes Defense needs to control Cloke, Rocca, Didak, Medhurst, Davis
Pies will tag efective ball users first
H.shaw could play on Bradshaw, or float free

 

[Athomas]

Has to be between Cox and BJ (If I had him).

Cox for me then

Happy_eagle= Dream Team legend.

Ill go for Cox against out boys.

I just did a trade and feel like crap now.

Joel Corey in
Daniel Cross out

 

[Weekend Hussler]

Look for Danny Cross to rack 'em up against Melbourne.

What a waste of a trade....you will be sorry.

Very clever move. If I had Daniel Cross I would trade to Joel Corey as well. Cross just doesnt seem up to it and Joel Corey scored 149 in round 1 how could you resist!

Great trade IMO

Never trade before the teams come out. Players could get injured in training/get ill.

And that trade was a complete waste anyway.
