Re: Round 18 Captain
Well, you do what you want mate.
But I only have 2 cats in my team(jim being one) and Jimmy has never been skipper this year. And never will be.
Something is not right.
As I posted in the Geelong thread it may be a role change. But all of his contested work numbers are down this year. Including tackles and frees for and against.
And his kicking is still off. He never used to miss targets like he is.
Food for thought anyway.

Re: Round 18 Captain
Voted Pendles but had no idea he might be carrying injury so could be sub or subbed of. That puts me if him abit and Swan also because he might be sub/ subbed off. Gaj could pull of another game like last years prelim against them so i'm tempted to go with him. Dal Santo's record against the crows and his last 5 matches are also impressive.

Re: Round 18 Captain
That's not a bad idea actually
If there is any doubt, I'll go Pendlebury, as I've gone for Boyd and been burnt a couple of times as he usually follows up a big game with a sub 100

Re: Round 18 Captain
Exactly, so why risk it?
You have Pendles and Swan up against GC. Gablett back to perma captain form. Cox against a second tier ruckman. Hawk players up against Melbourne.
Plenty of choices

Re: Round 18 Captain
Fisher a better choice against the Crows
We love to let the loose man in defence do what they want. See Hurn against us at AAMI

Re: Round 18 Captain
Have to split it between
Cox (if there is no Sandi)
Pendles, Swan (playing GC)
Rockliff (in great form and playing North)
Boyd (has burnt me to many times before)
Then my roughies are, Fisher,Goddard and Petrie
playing a big game in my league game so committed to the win

Re: Round 18 Captain
This will be a pretty hard week !!!!
Do you go
Judd, as the Bombers prob don't have anyone to really go with him ATM and their midfield looks weak.
Cox against Griffin, who has been in good form but injured last week (?)
Goddard against a crap Crows, in what could be a very defensive game.
Swan/Pendlebury against the Suns. Both could be subbed off/sub. Pendlebury has a shoulder (?) concern after last week ??? I think Swan would be likely to get full game time after his Arizona trip.
Ablett as he is a freak
Petrie against the Lions after Pods kicked a bag against McGuire last week (and Petries bag himself) considering but Petrie only scored 31 the week before.
I think it will be out of Cox and Swan, with Swan most likely getting the nod.

Re: Round 18 Captain
No mentions of Travis Cloke? Him and Petrie seem like worthy risks this week. Swan would be the safe option though.

Re: Round 18 Captain
Cannot pick out of Ablett, Pendlebury, Swan, Judd and Cox.
Blerubheghjegh!

Re: Round 18 Captain
Might go Priddis for something different. Can't see Pendles or Swan really getting a massive since the Pies should smash the Suns pretty badly. Can't see Ablett dominating that much on his own as well with such a young supporting cast.. But could be very wrong.

Re: Round 18 Captain
This is maybe the toughest captaincy decision I can remember. Am at a stalemate between Pendles, Swan, Cox and GAJ.

Re: Round 18 Captain
These are the exact players I'm struggling to pick from as well. And like you it's doing my head in!! Am just about ready to rule out Swan as I feel he and Cox are the 'safe' picks, but I'd rate Cox as a better chance to get those 10 extra points. Then there's Ablett and Pendles, who both have the potential to score huge but could both also bite you (think you're good for 100+ with either though, even if Pendlebury gets subbed off at 3 quarter time).

Re: Round 18 Captain
Everyone is determined Pendles might get subbed. To help, below is a list of all the premiums that I can recall who have been subbed in 2011 without an injury occurring or flaring up...
That is all.
PS..yes, I am going Pendles (c)

Re: Round 18 Captain
Tough choice this week.
My likely choices are Pendles V Judd V Buddy
Can't go past Pendles.... If he gets subbed, owell
Edit: Like RexPP said, it's unlikley they're going to sub untill at least 3 qrter time incase of injury where pendles could quite possibly have almost 100 up already

Re: Round 18 Captain
You're right. Feel like those who talk of Pendles getting subbed are just trying to be a bit too clever. Pendles it is.

Re: Round 18 Captain
If you've got Pendles and Swan and pick Pendles as the captain my hot tip would be to make Swan the VC. If Pendles is out, Swan will probably score 130+ with more midfield time and more points available to pick up in Pendlebury's absence.

Re: Round 18 Captain
It's not a matter of Pendlebury being out. It's a matter of him being designated as a sub.
