Round 8 Captain selection.

[gh172]

I'm thinking Pendlebury without any real confidence.

I'm thinking Pendlebury without any real confidence.

Record against Geelong isn't great, but keep in mind that was when Geelong had Ling hanging off him. Geelong has no one to go with him now, so he could go nuts.

I'll be going Pendles if I dont bring Ablett this week (BE of 169 means he will most likely drop a bit in price)

 

[Purrfect Pussies]

Every time l go a Friday night captain l get burnt and then stew over it for the entire weekend. Boyd againist the Suns. Should rack up a lazy 40.

On the other hand though, Penldes could kill it, then you would spend the weekend stewing about Boyds game

Ablett

Ablett

Was thinking this too, although i reackon Picken will do a fair job on him. Im going Kennedy against the Dees

 

[Super Hans]

Sandi for me. Gaz & Boyd also considered.

Had 141 and 121 last year vs Bulldogs. No idea if Picken played though

 

[footyfan_25]

Im going with Murphy (rather than Swan or Selwood) ... Big risk due to recent form but I reckon he will bounce back this week. The Crows prefer to go head to head with players rather than put on a hard tag.

He played both games, so i'd say Ablett is still a safe bet.

At some point Ablett will drop below 100, everyone does, not matter how much they are dominating. Question is when?

 

[MRB37]

Flipping between Stanton and Pendlebury, but I'm not sure how Stanton would fair against Richmond or Pendlebury against the Cats. Also thinking JPK might be a good option against the Dee's.

All good options. Stanton is on fire, but if he gets tagged it could cost you. WC paid the price last week, so I doubt Richmond will let him run loose.

That's what I was thinking re: Stanton and him being tagged, but he's been my only guy the past 2 weeks that's posted huge scores. Murphy has had 2 crappers (by his standards) and Pendlebury has been scoring well, but not the 135+ type scores you'd want from your C.

My guts tell me to play it safe and pick Pendles since while he's less likely to post a huge score like Stanton, he's also less likely to post a dud score like Stanton will if he gets tagged.

Ablett locked in

 

[Super Gusto]

Took Boyd last year when the Dogs played the Suns and my opponent had Ablett as Captain.

Fair to say I won;t be making that mistake again.

Ablett locked in.

 

[Adz]

Will the Darwin heat effect Boyd and Ablett?

 

[MightyMark]

Ablett would be use to it by now

 

[GotTheGoodes]

Darwin isn't Qld... The weather, dare I say, is different.

However, Gablett's "bad" game is still usually around the ton. More often than not though he'll come out a smash a score in the top 5 of the week. What more do you want in a captain really......

 

[MightyMark]

QLD is still hot.

Or at least hotter than Melbourne, so I dare say that Ablett will cope a little better.

 

[Donakebab]

Over his injury, back to set and forget until round 13.

 

[Dynawhite]

Tossing up between Pendles and Thompson. Not sure if either will cop a hard tag.

Still think Pendles is a safe option regardless of a reasonably average record against the Cats.

 

[Fademan77]

Over his injury, back to set and forget until round 13.

This.

Lets hope he doesn't hurt himself again.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Don't think I'll go Pendlebury as Taylor Hunt will take him and he's been tagging well lately. I'd also like to avoid anyone from Friday night's game particularly with the threat of rain falling.

Scott Thompson maybe, good recent form and no Carazzo to hang off him, could be a good bet.

I'm tempted to roll the dice on Boomer given how woeful Port are playing but given his poor recent form I can't do it.

 

[ontheup]

Thinking of going cox with nic nat out of the side still think he will continue his good form and I don't think st KILDAs ruck stocks are much good

 

[dlanod]

Ablett. There's a reason I have him and it's so I don't have to think about this shit.
