Weather forecast is atrocious for Perth today with howling winds and rain so be careful with C choices in that game.

Are you saying the ground will be heavy and look for players with massive quads?

Will score 150+ today

 

[Seymour Skinner]

G'day campaigners.
13c/1482

Some good scores, and no real stinker scores so far.
I'm guessing Gray will be a late out, and hope he is because I have Walters loopholed.

TMitch, Gunston, Cripps, Simmo
McLean, Yeo
Gray, Wingard, Rockliff

Hoping for a 2400+

 

[JuddgementDay]

12c/ 1370 - which is an ok scofre, but I can't seem to pick a VC/C this year.
I have 8/12 players that tonned up so far... but my captain is Gawn 93!!!
That's a lousy strike rate, can't pick 2 players our of the 8 who has tonned up!

Sexy Robbie needs to start thinking about his welfare and just have this week off.
Chadwick maximum midfield time and Hoff to ruck tirelessly and get KOTD like most rucks do.

Mitchell or Cripps is a tough choice. Does O’Meara our make Mitchell a better or worse choice?

Sticking with Mitchell here

 

[Kipz]

Leaving Sicily on to get Walters score (was originally going to trade to the Hoff today, will wait and get him a little cheaper next week) but have TSmith as my other bench player. If Gray is a late out, it will be another sad Sunday. 12c/1394

The weather in Perth isn't too bad at the moment, a bit windy but it's fine and sunny, a lot better than yesterday when it was bucketing down.

Probably still too risky to put the C on the Yeo-Yeo with his up and down scores.

Nah I need him to play otherwise I will get Ronke's 32.

Piggy Oliver? He's my highest scorer so far which shows how well I'm travelling.

15(c) / 1608 if I take Oliver's 127 VC score … 15 / 1481 if I go with Titch as C.
Ed Curnow hasn't tagged a lot this year but when he does he's very effective and Titch is proving he can't handle a close tag. Untagged he's likely to knock out a 160+ though. Tough decision.

Also hoping Keefe isn't a late in robbing me of loopholed Mihocek's score.

I wouldn't classify Ed Curnow as a close tag this year.

No, that's what I said … that he hasn't been used to tag much this year. But given how susceptible to a tag Titch has been this year it would be incompetent of Carlton not to be at least considering using him that way today.

Problem for Carlton is that EdC is their second best mid. If he completely sacrifices his own offensive running game to nullify Titch, their other mids apart from Cripps just don't get enough of the ball and oppositions b & c grade mids tear them a new one. I'm surprised Carlton haven't tried Matt Kennedy in a midfield run-with role this year. Might not have the tank with a limited pre-season but he's a decent tackler.

Hard decision on Titch Vs. Cripps for C. They'll both be tagged but Cripps seems to handle a hard tag a bit better than Titch.

Graham a chance to run with Titch today.

That's true. He's really done well this year when released to play his own game and they don't have much else in the mids. There's also the theory that Titch gets a lot of the ball but doesn't do much damage with it, so they may consider a free Curnow is better value for them. Similar to the reason I hate to see Viney tagging instead of playing his own damaging game.

 

[Plugger35]

I had decided to go with Titch as captain but all this talk of him being tagged is making me think of switching to Cripps.

Whichever one I choose will no doubt score less.

Graham is shit though. He doesn't have much of a defensive game playing at HF which is why he's in and out of the team so much. Titch would rack up 50+ possies on him.
