Captains 2024 Round 15 VC/C

[goondog]

ManBundy's been a great VC option for the last 2 weeks at least:

Won't be rucking against Spud Stanley and 4-gamer Strachan every week.

 

[Andrewy]

So my choice of Cripps into Zorko just may be a little out there this week?

 

[Flog_Toolist]

Zerrett vc
Ryan c

 

[Veer Right]

The dream run came to a screeching halt last week after flipping from Heeney (who I originally recommended, lol) to Butters :

Round	Player	C or VC	Score	Rolling average
1	Daicos	VC	135	135
2	Gawn	C	113	124
3	Gawn	VC	177	141.7
4	Heeney	VC	165	147.5
5	Gawn	VC	138	145.6
6	Heeney	C	98	137.7
7	Gawn	VC	162	141.1
8	Gawn	C	111	137.4
9	Bontempelli	C	135	137.1
10	Butters	VC	127	136.1
11	Gawn	C	180	140.1
12	Bontempelli	VC	186	143.9
13	Gawn	C	132	143.0
14	Butters	C	76	138.2

This week, likely Gawn into Ryan (or maybe Zerrett, if I end up sideways trading him in).

Relevant scores against GC from recent games:
R13 vs Saints: Sinclair 147
R12 vs Bombers: Top three scores (all tons) for Essendon were all rebounding defenders (Ridley, Heppell, Redman)
R11 vs Blues: McGovern, Newman and Kemp all tonned up
R10 vs Cats: Holmes 104
R9 vs Roos: Fisher 140
R8 vs Lions: Zorko 160

Sinclair played mid
Essendon defenders scores were not high enough
Blues defenders scores not high enough

Last month Gold Coast given up 120ish plus to...

2 mid
1 ruck
1 half forward

---------------------------------------------

Xerri to opposition rucks in reverse order

82, 60, 74, 74, 100, 107, 77, 97, 106, 73, 96, 178, 57

Given up one captain worthy score in 13 games.

--------------------------------------------

Looking forward to seeing how it turns out this week. Many will be on both.

Sinclair played mid

Attended 0 CBAs against Gold Coast, and this was his heatmap.

Essendon defenders scores were not high enough
Blues defenders scores not high enough

Well yeah, I wouldn't be expecting Heppell, Redman, McGovern, Newman and Kemp to be putting up captaincy worthy scores – they were still well above their average, which is the point.

Xerri to opposition rucks in reverse order

82, 60, 74, 74, 100, 107, 77, 97, 106, 73, 96, 178, 57

Matchups don't really phase me with Gawn. If anything, he plays up to his opposition. The spuds are the ones you need to worry about.

 

[Veer Right]

Attended 0 CBAs against Gold Coast, and this was his heatmap. So nah, lol.

Alright one game GC gave up to a defender! You got me!

 

[Scythe94]

And the Fisher 140 and Zorko 160, or are we just ignoring those? Haha.

Yep far enough back to ignore!

Only went more then a month for Xerri as he doesn't give up scores to anyone. I already knew that but not to that degree. Interesting for next year.

 

[Deadly6]

GC has a handful of fans??

Yes, they asked all of us.

 

[Seymour Skinner]

Martin into Flanders, really wanna Sunday myself, what could go wrong?

 

[Sherman41]

Won't be rucking against Spud Stanley and 4-gamer Strachan every week.

Grundy scored 143 against Briggs last time they played.

 

[Jiska]

Lot of Flanders fans. Has only gone 130 once. Against St Kilda who let HB run free.

 

[Judd_Magic]

You'd take a 120 this week from your VC or C uncle.

which was literally his last game

 

[Maybe Tomorrow]

which was literally his last game

Flanders is, I think, the only player to go 100+ every game he's played this year.

Pretty safe captain option.

 

[HotPiesWithSauce]

I'm thinking TDK as VC, after seeing how Grundy did against geelong
And then some safeish captain option like Heeney or serong

 

[brutus76]

Cripps as VC as TDK should monster Blicavs and hopefully Crippa gets on the scoreboard and plenty of clearances

Zerrett as C

 

[toxic]

TDK as VC should be money for jam

 

[Caztheconquerer]

Anyone considering zorko against port

All his big scores have been at the Gabba.

Season high away of 117 (which was at the AO tbf).

Average 137 @ Gabba
Average 89 @ away grounds

Not this week for me. Next week at home vs Melbourne he's a definite option though.

 

[Saints4ever]

Every week I always have a confidence about my VC/C.
Even if it doesn’t work out I go in feeling good about my choices.
This week I just can’t make a decision that feels right.
I’ve settled on Gawn/Merrett but I’m not feeling it and I’m not feeling the other choices available to me.
Preying Gawn gets the job done don’t want to rely on new recruit Merrett.

. I'm thinking those 2 aswell along with Flanders.

Flanders never lets you down for some reason I never have confidence to pick him same with Heeney.
There’s certain players I just can’t trust.
Only players I have full faith in are
Bont
Gawn
Daicos
Serong (losing confidence)
Butters (losing confidence)
Merrett
Grundy (VC only)
Ryan (VC only)
Who does everybody else have full faith in?
