Round 8 Captain

[GUMBLETRON]

O'Keefe vs Essendon in Sydney is mighty tempting. I haven't made a bad captain choice yet this year, but I'm playing the hardest team in my league and I bet a right cluster____ is headed my way real soon.

 

[MrChristo]

Aurora Stadium.

Pretty sure it's number 1 for all grounds for DT scoring.

Not sure how that translates to SC tho...probably not great with lots of chipping and uncontested stuff...

 

[BEEG]

Im going with Pav i think they will beat the dogs this week

 

[MrChristo]

They won't get close

Thinking about going out on a limb and going with the Birdman.

Ably supported by Dal Santo (or vice-verce)...

 

[jonoman89]

do you reckon it worth putting Ablett as skipper even though he is coming off injury? im leaning towards Shaw.

 

[Biggie]

Franklin scored 137 at Aurora last time.

Stil dont have the guts.

 

[Gerbil]

I think most of you read way too much into the captain choice.

You narrow it down to a few, then it is purely luck.

 

[Judd_Magic]

Yeah it really is luck picking a captain. Players can have an off day like franklin kicking one goal seven even though he seems to dominate the play.

Then you have guys like pavlich who you would think would get a monster score as captain against the tigers at subiaco and he plays like a gump and scores 28 points!

I think tossing a coin would get you better luck in picking a captain in this game!


Mighty tempted to go Cox this week though. he is apparently over his foot injury and even injured was getting decent scores.

Melbourne

Saturday A few showers. Possible hail. Min 10 Max 15
Sunday A few showers. Min 8 Max 16

Gold Coast
Saturday A few showers. Possible storm. Max 25

Adelaide
Sunday Shower or two. Min 11 Max 18

Perth
Sunday Fine. Min 5 Max 22


Looking at that probably pav is going to have the better conditions, playing against the dogs though so it comes down to their defence for what you want to do.

Im thinking cox at the moment up against north

 

[Ingall]

Don't forget Launceston

Saturday
A little rain.
Min 09
Max 16

 

[footyfan_25]

I deciding between

Goodes
Pavlich
Shaw (who I am about to trade in)


Leaning towards Shaw at this stage.

 

[adam1302]

thinking Judd, Cooney, Sandilands or Franklin

 

[Biggie]

I now have Dal added to the mix.

BAH!

 

[GUMBLETRON]

For some reason I figured everyone in Melbourne would get rained out this weekend. Then I remembered Telstra Dome has a roof. Hello Heath Shaw!

 

[Tippaz]

(c) Judd
(vc) Goodes

 

[Bollox]

One of the following

brown - 10 goals against the blues last time, does like playing aginst them. Can he have a big game

Goodes - In good form, and playing bombers this week. Could be in for a big one

Judd - Some of his best games are against the lions, including his career high 39 touches against them

what do you think

Not yet he aint...slow start to this season once AGAIN but just starting to look like running into form.
Great late season captn but often takes it easy against the bottom clubs esp early in the season.
Not wheeling him out YET.

 

[Ingall]

Shaw under the roof for me.

 

[jazz]

thinking Judd, Cooney, Sandilands or Franklin

Isn't Cooney carrying an injury? He was almost non-existent in the DT game.

 

[Parasite]

Mr Pav.
That name again Mr Pav!

 

[fugu]

Gunna go the Budster. Huge risk I know.

 

[OneEyedHawk]

Choice is between:
Ablett, dal Santo, Kornes, Franklin, Pavlich, Brown, Cox and Shaw.

Am leaning towards Shaw.

 

[Biggie]

Am going Dal v Pies.

CARN DAL!!

 

[kemosabe]

Nobody considering Jimmy B?

Against Richmond and the possibility of rain.

I'll take a punt!

 

[AFLROCKS]

My captain preferences in order..

1. O'Keefe
2. Dal Santo
3. Pav
4. H.Shaw
5. Buddy
6. McLoed
7. Kornes

Really you could put all these names in a hat and which ever one you pull out is posible to get a big score.. too hard to know who is going to fire.. I'm going with O'Keefe because he is my No.1 scorer at the moment and hasn't been captain yet.. it's time to step up to the plate big fella, playing essendon too! Will kick goals!! Fingers crossed anyway!
