Round 12 Choice of Captain Discussion

[publicenemyk2]

Re: Round 12 Captains

b.hall

with sydneys new attacking style should be too good for the tired saints defenders...see if keeping him pays off

 

[Beau_Waters for PM]

Re: Round 12 Captains

Swan if he is fit/not sick, should be unstoppable.

True, except that's what people were saying last week.

 

[One Dimensional]

Re: Round 12 Captains

Probably stick with Thompson, although he's bound to receive extra attention after his 6 goal performance.

 

[FandangoDingo]

Re: Round 12 Captains

How does Cox play against Laycock/Hille???

Laycock will probably miss this week again. So it's likely to be Vs Hille/ Bellchambers (in his second game).

Re: Round 12 Captains

probly go cox, but also in the mix are the big brown dogga and corey

 

[sharpie]

Re: Round 12 Captains

Cox for me

same here - will hopefully redeem himself.

the TD is always a good venue for captains

 

[Athomas]

Re: Round 12 Captains

Sticking with Ablettttttt.

 

[PAFCsince1870]

Re: Round 12 Captains

In his last 5 matches against Geelong, Kane has averaged 120.

Worth a punt, or go with Ablett, whose record against Port isn't that good?

 

[MarkJohnson#1]

Re: Round 12 Captains

With Brad Sewell out of Hawthorns lineup, Scott Thompsons is looking even more appealing.

Bartel and Corey also have good records against Port, not sure who played on who last outing but Corey had a blinder and Bartel has had massive scores in previous outings.

EDIT: Kornes went to Bartel in Round 1 and somewhat restricted his scoring to 75.

Cox not a particularly high scorer against the Dons (perhaps due to Hilles running ability and tendency to drift forward?) but nonetheless you can't count him out of having a big one when he may be up against a second gamer in Bellchambers.

Decisions, decisions...

 

[Dunn - Well Done]

Re: Round 12 Captains

Anyone from the WCE or Collinwood and you should be okay. COX, Priddis,Swan or Didak look like big scorers.

L.B.F against Rutten and bock i say no.
Richo could go well and any geelong star.

Re: Week 12 Choice of Captain NP Discussion Thread

Touch wood, if he keeps his form up, I don't think I'll change Ablett all year...

 

[Big Kitty]

Big Cox aainst Essendon shoud tear it up

 

[mitchell12345]

can somone give me an update on swan
i was going to put him as captain but everyone keeps saying that he's sick or injured

 

[Ole Gill]

Not sure why there is all this love for Swan. Our midfield is the one area of the game we can match it with the Pies.

Cox against Essendon for mine

Yeh you will better there midfield but you cant tag at all so it wont affect Swans game, i really want to know whats wrong with him because he seems like the perfect cap this week.

Maybe because Swan's average against the Blues is 100?

His last 5 games have been 109, 109, 123, 136 and 114.

Thats why there is so much love for Swan. Also he is extremely consistent and even on bad days (last week) he can manged good scores.

im leaning towards LRT, shouldnt cop a hard tag against the saints. a massive game is looming

That joke had run it's race 6 weeks ago.

Time to find some new material.

 

[Captain Dreamer]

My decision for this week:
Looking at the last few games for Coxy against Ess. 71, 86, 76, 77. Hmmmm - not overly inspiring.
Was Cross injured the last time he played Brissy? (Scored 29). Before that though he scored 89, 100 113. Decent.
What about N.Stevens against C'wood? Solid history of 93, 109, 104, 110.
Do we think Chappy is fit? Against Port - 101, 108, 109, 80.
Chad has an awesome record, but must be consider suspect due to his health.
Didak is on fire, but not a great record against Geelong - 95, 55, 58, 127. Risky I'd reckcon.

Safe options look like N.Stevens and Cross.

 

[jdwood]

That was the game he went down for memory.

I'm going to look at Kornes or Corey this week... Corey's round one score, considering they're playing Port again, is somewhat hard to ignore.

 

[bones25]

No more capt hopping for me, Gaz all the way.

 

[thewhippersnapper]

Priddis.

 

[FandangoDingo]

Don't quote him. I have him on ignore.

Stevens is an interesting one. Apart from last week, he's been super-consistent since getting some fitness, but has hardly been mentioned by anyone as a potential captain. Expect 110+

If Chad plays (and I think he will), I reckon he might rack up a massive one... 130+. Obviously risky with the injury/rest/surgery talk, but could prove a master-stroke.

Hard to go past Kornes for mine.

 

[Mr Gor]

my team isn't blessed with a kornes, ablett, corey, bartel, or swan (yet). i might have to stick with the ol' cross, or maybe m.murphy/stevens against collingwood?

thompson is gonna tear it up once again against a sewell-less hawthorn. i think cassisi will go to ablett and k.cornes to corey/bartel. richo will tear up melbourne, and kerr will eat essendon (sc wise).

can i get some advice while i'm ranting on?
luke ball against sydney at the scg & palmer against the kangas with a possible rawlings tag, or houli against west coast & cotchin against melbourne?? should i get my bench boys a run with the possible low scores my starters could get??

also who should i get out of goddard/mcdonald/malceski

Lucky he's playing the Blues this week then.
