Round 10 Captain Selection...

[Benno_900]

Maybe stay away from JB, hes playing the roos.

Petrie will take Bradshaw.

I can't see anyone stopping Brown. Firitto/Gibson/Pratt too small, L.Brown/Watt/SDT too shit.

Firitto will end up taking him, J.Brown smashed him the second time last year (scored 140). IIRC, the first time was very wet and he kicked something like 1 goals, 7 behinds (scored 75).

That said, J.Brown is prone to having absolute shockers, there is plenty of other options.

Cox vs fraser and wood/bryan, i like i like

the kangas defense so far this year and lastyear has been surprisingly strong....they work well together....thats why im not going with JB

Just be wary that Carlton don't concede as many DT points as you think (4th lowest).

Is there a table somewhere which ranks clubs like this by points conceded? Somewhere obvious that i've missed no doubt..

i made one last week. obviously it wont include this weeks results but not much will change week to week now. i think it was call teams points conceded ladder.

 

[The Newt]

Can't go past a kornes when he's playing a hapless freo midfield. Crowley will go to Salopek or Chornes.

Bit annoyed with last week, had Buddy as captain and Stevens as vc.

i had cox (c) and stevens vice. ugh.

last 4 weeks

chornes - 65
judd - 64
shaw - 40
cox - 81

shocking really.

 

[Jimhouse]

Anyone thinking Stevens?
Been very consistent.

 

[wookie_goldberg]

I may stick with ablett again but may just go scott thompson against essendon. the thing with thompson though is that he is so hit or miss. despite this he will be hard to overlook this week.

 

[toptigers]

Might go with Scott Thompson against the bombers

 

[Glenno23]

My options this week are:

JB
BJ
Pav
Chornes
Corey
Harvey
Stevens
Scotland
Cox
Shaw (least fave GUN to put Captain)
Chapman (he comes into the side for Hill this week if selected)

Was leaning towards JB, but could still go Corey... will see how the week pans out

 

[pillager]

Will Crowley tag the Chad?

He did a good job on Ablett and Judd.

 

[wellst]

Brown, Corey, Franklin ( Riewoldt as a roughy averages 107 against melbourne )

 

[Willis]

After seeing Chad's average over 06/07 against Freo i'm reluctant to use him as Captain. May use Kane instead, unlikely that he will be required to put a hard tag on anyone from Freo and should rack up plenty of possessions (especially with his brother back in the side to gift him a shitload ).

 

[pezz]

Chapman is still only 50% to play

Gablett for me i think, just cant go pass the little bald nugget

 

[Jimhouse]

Will Crowley tag the Chad?

He did a good job on Ablett and Judd.

I certainly hope so.

By the way, who kept Chad to scores of 63 and 61 last year against Carlton?

2 shockers could see us people who didnt pick him from the start pick him up quite cheap

 

[Benno_900]

By the way, who kept Chad to scores of 63 and 61 last year against Carlton?

Bannister. Yer, he could very well score under 80 for both games.

Captaincy out of Kornes and Bartel for me. Will go with Kornes as he'll most likely be tagging Palmer who isn't very accountable.

i read in the age cox only had 70% TOG, im pretty sure thats less than his usual tog. obviously a reason for his lower than avg score

70-80% is usual for Cox. Last year he was starting the first 10 mins of each quarter and coming back on for the last 5.

Last year Cox played 90 minutes per game and averaged 101 ppg. Those numbers may not mean much but put in perspective Pavlich played 118 minutes a game and averaged 102.

Last year cox averaged the most points per minute of any player in the comp at 1.13. Bartel was a close second.

70% is about normal for Cox i wouldn't be too worried.

 

[wellst]

im thinking of making lewis roberts-thompson this week he wont get tagged against richmond, and he has the potential to rack up a score of 200+ thoughts????

sounds good mate i would go for him or maybe daniel merret if u have him that is

 

[Dugong]

I'm going to do something stupid and go for someone like Murphy (WB), Didak or Medhurst

I usually prefer my captain to be playing at the TD - where you have surety of weather conditions.

However I don't trust my saints players yet and I don't have any geelong stars and I think Stevens might get Ling

I am contemplating Didak this week. My only fear is if he gets a tight selwood tag - we saw what happened to mcleod last week.

Other than that thinking of Kornes or Cox

 

[The_Gunny_Bomber]

I think I will go with Hayes

 

[leungtl]

wellst merret is an absoult dud why not go for the LRT? he wont get tagged this week against richmond .

FINALLY! SOMEONE who speaks sense! I thought I was the only one who rated Louis Robert Thompson! Screw Bartel/Kornes/Corey/Salopek/Cross etc, You should definately go for it mate
