Captains 2024 Round 22 VC/Captain

[iDon]

Starting to waver on Sheezel VC and wondering if I go Zerrett.

GC can’t make finals so won’t tag Zerrett. Should be able to rack them up.

Also similar vibes over here. But he hasn't been unreal of late but has been coping attention too.

Butters, Whitfield or Merrett im tossing up between.

Not that there's much point from Melbourne's perspective as they're gonna get smoked regardless, but the two tagging jobs ANB has done this year have been Naicos and Zerrett. Wouldn't be surprised if he's given a role on Butters.

Think it will be Merrett for me into Trelor (to be dif)

Tossing up Merret vs Sheezel for the VC as well, only thing is Merret hasn't really gone big this season with Caldwell and Durham in the midfield mix

Has been copping a lot of attention and spending time forward of the footy/outside.

I think he is due.

 

[qarocks]

im going all in on Steele C after the predictable naicos VC fail.

 

[Changa10]

I’ve settled on VC Big Maxy

C Bont

Didn't share my thoughts last week due to finals, however this week since I'm in prelims I can!

Back over a 140 captain average which is nice.

This week I think is pretty easy. You obviously have to go Bont C. The next step is the VC's.

Sydney vs Collingwood
Gulden would be my choice from here. Pies don't tag, Gulden the only Sydney mid in form. However with Sydneys poor performance I wouldn't touch him.

Naicos not a consideration as I think he'll cop a tag. Bad track record against Sydney too.

Brisbane vs GWS
Lots worth rolling the dice on in this game. The question is... who does Bedford go to? It'll probably be Neale, so I'd rule him out.
Zorko at the Gabba is hard to ignore. He only dropped 56 against GWS last time but spent a lot of time playing up forward.
Tom Green absolutely smashed Brisbane dropping 159 last time. Not quite convinced he's worth a VC roll of the dice though.
Whitfield. Stupid sexy Whitfield. I think he'll get a bit more attention this week, his form is outrageously good and I really don't like going after the players that have put up really big scores week after week because opposition coaches start to notice.

North vs West Coast
Sheezel copped a lot of attention last week after his blistering form and still managed to go 105. He his form against West Coast is excellent too. I also really enjoy targetting West Coast, RIchmond and Geelong midfields. It's very unlikely West Coast tag him so he's my leading candidate for VC.

If you have Xerri, he's a great VC. Don't own him so wouldn't consider.

Freo vs Geelong
Serong the only one really worth considering here. His form at Optus has been decent this year outside of when he's being tagged. The only knock is he's been really down on form the last 6 weeks with only 1 score over 115.

Essendon vs Gold Coast
Flanders, RIP his tonne streak. Essendon mids are pretty good at stopping opposition mids from going crazy this year so it's hard to consider any of the GC mids.
Merrett. Gold Coast notably do not tag and an untagged Merrett is a weapon. However he has been sharing the load with quite a lot of other mids so I'm not sure he's worth VCing.

Melbourne vs Port
Gawn. He's still dropping good scores despite playing injured. Ports rucks are pretty dreadful but with Melbournes season basically over I don't have the balls to VC him.
Butters. May cop an ANB tag but I doubt it. We saw what Bont did to the Melbourne mids last week, you have to strongly consider Butters.

Carlton vs Hawthorn
Meh all round here. Don't think you ever VC Cripps or Walsh as Hawks mids are pretty good defensively.

Richmond vs St Kilda
Sinclair would be an excellent VC option but you can't loop with Bont in time. Consider him for C if you want a POD.


Final VC order:
1) Sheezel (Xerri instead if you own him)
2) Butters
3) Zorko
4) Merrett
5) Whitfield

C: Bont.

Absolutely nailed the call on Xerri.

Sheez an awkward one... I think I'm going to get greedy and roll the dice on Bont to keep the captain average high

 

[ubeaut]

What's everyone doing with Sheezel VC bank it or roll the dice on Bont?

 

[SC fish]

VC Xerri

I’ve taken it. Not having a super round. Should have listened to myself and went Zerrett VC though.
