Ave 115.56 (231.12)

Went through a really gross patch there in rounds 4,5 and 6...

 

[Sixpence]

Haha my bad, that certainly brings the average down

Understandable mistake, still hard to believe that that's all he scored!

 

[Beau_Waters for PM]

Captain scores:
R1-7 Titch
R 8-9 Macrae
Average 130.2

R10? Both should go big but can't refuse Macrae in this form.

 

[Corby_4]

Captains;
1. Titch 156
2. Laird 141 (loophole)
3. Titch 148

5. Titch 83
6. Cogs 102
7. Titch 119
8. Macrae 155
9. Macrae 144

No more 'other priorities first' - Macrae is in this week and straight to C.

 

[samFFC]

Similar to many I guess! Used the loophole early, and avoided two of Tom's low games by (a) predicting a worse score (r5) and (b) having Macrae in time.

R1: Simpson (loophole) 129
R2: Jacobs (loophole) 120
R3: Mitchell 148
R4: Mitchell 83
R5: Coniglio 112
R6: Mitchell 147
R7: Mitchell 119
R8: Macrae 155
R9: Macrae 144

Average 128.6.

reckon Macrae this week is a 'no brainer'

 

[Butterz]

Lock and load Macrae for another big week

Gotta keep going until his bye hopefully! Collingwood then Melbourne under the roof

Should rename this thread "Captains Thread if you don't have Macrae - praise be with you"

 

[TheRednWhite]

So I believe the pies will consider tagging Macrae. Titch also expected to be tagged by hutchings. Come on down Lllloooyddd(C)

 

[PAFC27]

Tossing up between McLean and Lloyd if Greenwood comes in...

Don't mind backing in Macrae either.

 

[Corby_4]

Still gonna back in Macrae regardless if Greenwood is picked.
Greenwood doesn't have enough in the tank yet coming off less than a handful of games in the VFL.

Greenwood and Hutchings about as effective as each other I'd say.

Macrae better that Titch when tagged too.

Macrae will kill Greenwood around the ground also.
Greenwood has been playing HBF and on managed time but see what happens if he's picked.

Ah, if he is on managed time no way he can keep up with Macrae. He'll burn him off in the first quarter.

That makes me feel better.

Brought in Macrae this week so I am blessed with a few options.

Macrae v COLL (possible tag)
Mitchell v WCE
Treloar v WBD
Danger v CARL

Dark horse:
Parker v BRS

Tempted to go Danger v Carlton but I went him last week over Mitchell which didn't turn out in my favour.

 

[forlols]

Might have a look at niglio if Kelly returns, niglio started on fire with Kelly in the side. Don't have Macrae worried about Hutchings tagging titch

You'd have to have massive stones to pick Parker for captain - as a fellow owner I think that is absolutely nuts.

Zach merret POD captain? playing gws who are easy to score against (i think i read somewhere) they have no taggers and he is due for a big one.

Would love him to have a good game - no chance of picking him captain, probably at all this season, but happy to ride a good run of scores!

 

[Zevon]

Don't have Macrae and although my "Hmph I'm not prepared to pay that much for him" strategy is costing me dearly each week, he's not coming in for me this round either. So at this stage I'm tossing up between Treloar (awesome record against the Doggies), Howe (mega risky but has gone 114, 94 and 117 in his last 3 against the Doggies and has gone 123 and 132 the last two weeks) and Titch (back in business last week but only averages 82 against the Eagles; his worst record against ANY team ).

Weirdly I kind of hate picking a Friday night captain but I'm seriously tempted by Howe. If I'm feeling gutsy pre-lockout then the C will end up on him. If I chicken out it'll end up on Treloar. Titch the most likely to miss out at this stage.

I gave him some thought too given how easy the Giants have been to score against lately but I just don't know what to expect from Zach these days. Won't be at all surprised if he goes big (and even without the C he's still in my team so here's hoping he does) but I just can't quite do it.

 

[Joao]

thoughts on a potential greenwood tag to macca.

Read the posts earlier on this page and possibly the one before it.

 

[Beau_Waters for PM]

I'm probably going to stick with Macrae. Read the article about Buckley talking tough on "paying close attention" to Macrae this week but: 1) Buckley is full of it and 2) Can Macrae even be tagged at the moment?

Tempted by Mitchell vs WCE - even with a Hutchings tag should probably still go 120+. And I've also got Treloar vs Bulldogs...

But gotta go with the guy in form, and that's crae!
