More time on the ball too. Happy days.
Glad I went with captain Heater and not Selwood.

Shows how much this game is luck rather than skill.
Alot went with Dangerfield who was fighting for VC with J.Selwood for me but i went with T.Mitchell
Why?
No JPK there player who spends most time onball
Without one of the big 3 (Parker, JPK, Hanners) Titch went 142 and 163 last year
Vs Rich seem to be leaking scores to the opposition (Lewis, Shiels, I.Smith went well against them last week)

All signs pointed to success, until he again only had 75% TOG and was stuck at half forward all night. I'd like to see his centre bounce attendances. Would've been down at least 50%.
You're a disgrace Tom Mitchell, absolute disgrace!

Nah he hasnt actually been attending that many centre bounce att before the match which is why i thought hed go huge without JPK who attends the most from Sydney and is a similar big bodied mid who is very good with CP and clearances

Treloar or Dangerfield this week? Will be one or the other as I have no faith in the consistency of Parker, Ablett, Titch and Zaharakis at the moment. A possible one could also be Libba, he's a tackling machine and saved me this week with 142!

I dont think any forward has scored well against essondon this season. I wouldnt go nick

Hes playing far much more up the ground. There really isnt anything else and he dominates etihad stadium.
I dont understand it either. Logic says every forward should destroy essondon but they havnt. Look at waite last week and i think buddy had the highest at 110. He wont score bad and i reckon 90-110 but u should want more from a cap.
Hey guys. My last cap was zorko but that was at home. He doesnt score as well away. Im leaning towards zaharakis or merret. They r both beasts and the engine room for essondon. I havnt watched the saints this year so dont know if they have a tagger. I think if they arent tagged both will score very well.
Mav Weller will likely run with Zaharakis but it won't be a hard tag like Jacobs last week.

As you said Buddy and Waite did prettt well against them and Tom Lynch earlier in the season went bang after that we havnt really come up against a quality key fwd we had Hawkins and he was quiet.
But nick is very different to the lot of them hes been playing alot up on a wing ect
But i do also like the Zaharakis, Z.Merrett types for this weekend. Cant go too wrong with Dangerfield either just think he might quieten down from the big build up the week before. Maybe J.Selwood
Curious as to why they tag zaharakis and not merret when merret has been better this year. Thanks for that info possum wont go zaharakis now. I think my startegy is to see who calvin really recommends and make sure i dont pick him. Seems like when the traders really recommend one guy that players spuds it up. Their record is bad

I have no idea who to captain, Stuck with mitchell all year and he spuds. I take it off and give to parker last week. he spuds. Gone were the good old days of set and forget Gaz Pendles or Rocky
Hanners or Gaff seem the best bet for pure consistency so far this year, touch wood.

Well thats them stuffed now haha
I don't have the guts to captain Heater again. Hanners seems safe.
I'm wondering if Parker will be keen to amend for last week, especially on a friday night. Goldy might be a good pick this week with Kreuzer out too

Absolutely, although I feel Hanners and Gaff have more runs on the board so they are a bit more reliable.
