Round 3 Captain

[Ben the Gooner]

For those of us who don't have Ablett.

Without having looked at the options closely, Hille would have to be a shot against the might of Kreuzer and Jacobs.

 

[Houli2Gumbleton]

For some reason, I don't feel comfortable going with Ablett. But there arn't many better options.

 

[Souup]

Hille is about due.. but im not taking the risk

Cox for the 3rd week running

 

[Latro]

I am thinking one of the Cornes brothers against Melbourne.

 

[Lakey91]

HMAC against the rubbish hawk rucks could be nice lol.

 

[Hirdy_5]

I'm in the middle of doing some captain stats, much like what Lakey has done for the previous 2 rounds and what I did in the back half of last year. They will be up shortly .

 

[senrulzisback]

Would have been better if there was a poll on this thread, but whatever.
Bryce Gibbs will be a lock for me.
Will rip the Dons apart.
Although if I had Judd I would put him captain over Gibbs for consistency.

 

[torResz]

Gibbs for me!

 

[stuart27]

Going with the big, bulging West Coast ruck.

 

[senrulzisback]

Going with the big, bulging West Coast ruck.

Seaby? Not sure if hell play or not.

 

[Athomas]

Bartel. Cox Vice.

Bartel owns all.

 

[iluvparis]

I'm in the middle of doing some captain stats, much like what Lakey has done for the previous 2 rounds and what I did in the back half of last year. They will be up shortly .

I'll wait for this before coming to my decision.

 

[GrandBlue]

For the third week in a row. Consistancy wins all. Might make it Gibbs though, he's a destroyer.

 

[Rise_up_Stiffy]

I think I'll relieve Swan of the captaincy this week against geelong. I'll give Gibbs or Kornes a go this week.

 

[Hirdy_5]

OK, Here are the round 3 captain stats. If i have forgotten any players just let me know and i will add them in. This table includes, the players career average against there opponent and then there past 3 scores against them as well. RR stands for recent record. Sorry i haven't had time to add in my own thoughts on each game yet, will update it later.

[Virgil]

HMAC against the rubbish hawk rucks could be nice lol.

Petrie will dominate .

This week I'll either go with Corey, Boyd or Chad.

Cheers for the write-up Hirdy .

 

[drd23]

Trying to make the decision between Gibbs, HMac and Ablett.

HMac will destroy the Hawks ricks if Campbell doesnt play.

Gibbs should do well against an Essendon midfield that doesnt really play any defence.

Ablett has scored 86, 115, 118 against Collingwood in the last 2 years so could also be good for this week.

 

[scotty4]

i think i will be locking in corey again, hopefully he cuts loose!

Hirdy_5's Pick for the week - Dean Cox.
Hirdy_5's Unique choice for the week - Peter Burgoyne.

Nicely done.
I could go with Cox or Purgoyne, but I'm gonna go Bartel.

 

[Blues_FC]

I've read some BS on the fanfooty site about Ablett being injured and possibly out for round 3. I am going to punch my computer screen in if this is true.

Otherwise he'd be a lock for my capt.

Can anyone confirm/deny?

 

[blues4flag]

Why change a winning formula?

Cornes or Gibbs are tempting, but Bartel is proven. Playing in defense and picking up cheapies, you'd expect his scores will be more consistent, too.

He had 11 touches in the last quarter on Saturday, he certainly wasn't injured then. Haven't seen any reports either. I think someone is telling porkies.

 

[Lakey91]

Chad or corey for me. Cox will get close to 100 again.

 

[abs_of_STEELE]

I'll go Ablett or Didak. I have a feeling Dids will dominate so I'm gonna stick with him.

 

[Cartman121]

At this stage it's between Chad, Bartel, Ablett, Gibbs in that order.
