Round 16 Captain

[Thommo4pm]

With Ling and Gaz out expect Cooney to have a big one.
Buddy at the dome is a bit risky as its going to be raining and there will be no place for Hawthorn to hide from the flood.
Goodes is a definate goer. Altho Gibbs has done some pretty good run-with roles this year.
Melbourne will probably stick Brad Green in front of Pav as they have done the last few weeks. Browny will run a under 100% Glass in circles. At the Gabba too...
Boomer - any midfielder is a safe option against Colls non existant defensive game.
Delidio vs. Essendon...leaky leaky...
Matty Boyd might head to Jimbob Bartel.

 

[Parasite]

There's clingons on the starboard bow!

 

[fugu]

Although I'm a big Buddy SC fan I've got doubts about him against the Saints due to the way they set up in defence. Also doubt that Brown will play. Looking at Roo, Hodge and Cox, maybe Kornes for a smoky.

Edit: Kornes has a crap record in showdowns

 

[wheels4]

wouldnt pick buddy just cos i dont want him to do well
dont no about Pav either

Cox or Judd (might stand up in a big game at the dome)
jon brown aswell

Im thinking maybe bock as a smokey cos im playing bottom side in my league and port dont have many tall forwards so that will allow bock to run free while stevens, bassett and rutten take treadrea, ebert and westhoff

 

[Thommo4pm]

Brad Green out. Handy for Pav.

 

[johno_1989]

pav for me if ablett doesn't play

 

[Biggie]

Chad Cornes?

 

[Judd_Magic]

Cox as captain for me.

 

[Magpie Magic]

I'm probably going to take a punt on Jim Bartel.

 

[DemonErrol1964 - dees]

Might Go Cox Myself. Been in very good form and against the Lions who has he to beat . line up boys.

 

[hellfire]

I'm considering Brent Harvey against the Pies. Will carve us up. Scored over 140 last time from memory.

 

[Stenglein's a Champ!]

Cox, Hayes, Brown and Franklin are all viable options.

J. Selwood, O'Keefe and maybe even Mattner as smokeys.

 

[Biggie]

Cross with no Ling?

Could be an attacking game of footy.

 

[AFLROCKS]

My captain choices in order of preference..

Cox
Judd
Cooney
NDS
Pavlich
J.Selwood
Franklin
O'keefe

 

[footyfan_25]

GOODES under the roof at the dome

 

[Bollox]

between Cox, Goodes, Bartel, Riewoldt, Pavlich.

Hawthorn havent had anyone to go with Riewoldt so they generally double or triple team him. Not sure they can do that if he plays upfield. When behind on the scoreboard he goes looking for the pill.

Cant split those 5...probably Cox and Goodes the safest bets.

 

[The Grover]

With Ling and Gaz out expect Cooney to have a big one.
Buddy at the dome is a bit risky as its going to be raining and there will be no place for Hawthorn to hide from the flood.
Goodes is a definate goer. Altho Gibbs has done some pretty good run-with roles this year.
Melbourne will probably stick Brad Green in front of Pav as they have done the last few weeks. Browny will run a under 100% Glass in circles. At the Gabba too...
Boomer - any midfielder is a safe option against Colls non existant defensive game.
Delidio vs. Essendon...leaky leaky...
Matty Boyd might head to Jimbob Bartel.

Gazza - out
Brown - risky, but if 80% fit could blitz
Buddy - saints flood
Boomer - yes you could be right, maybe Rhys Shaw to pick him up although he doesn't play real tight.
Cox - maybe, not sure he can back up after last week
Power - might struggle if Black doesn't play.

 

[Cudi]

Im thinking of putting Goodwin as my captain with Ablett out. Hopefully he plays mostly forward and kick some goals

 

[TheEmptySea]

Melbourne's no name defence has done well this year against the key forwards so expect Garland or Warnock to do the job on Pav again this week. Bartel for me, he will have extra attention with Gaz out but will dominate in a free flowing attacking game.

 

[djay40]

KIrk is a lockin for me his form is only surpassed by abblet, surprised more people arnt looking at him as captain choice.

 

[benny1712]

Anybody thinking Brent Harvey?

 

[IDIG]

With a question around Brown's fitness im gonna go Pav capt, Roo vice. I'd like to choose Judd but against the Swans it's too much of a risk.

 

[Cleavy]

Anybody thinking Brent Harvey?

I am. No Ablett, and not willing to punt on Franklin or Brown.

 

[lenny&carl]

Bradshaw? I could see him carving up Eagles 2nd best tall defender.

 

[adam1302]

do you think cooney will play well against geelong? i'm thinking Cooney or Browny
