Captains Round 23 VC/Captain

[Bob Butter]

Bloody tempting to put the C on Roma vs no rucks for Geelong.

Latest loop option for me is the Sydney game so no can do, otherwise it would be a no brained imo.

 

[Bob Butter]

Taking a bit of a risk of going with Green VC. Need someone who plays before the Swans in a must win game wouldn’t be surprised if Merrett cops a tag. Don’t trust Neale, Dunks or Taranto.

 

[DaveyBoy123]

I can put the V on Marshall as I have a Hawks loop (even though it's a little messy), but the trickier question may be what score will be enough to take?

With Timmy against the Weagles, would RoMa scoring 130 be enough? 125? 135?

Also, I know he has only played 3 games, but Shannon Neale is 203cms & 100 kegs. It wouldn't surprise me if he ends up with more hit-outs than RoMa.

I actually still think Tom Stewart in the same game is an option with the way the Saints forwards push up the ground.

 

[Maybe Tomorrow]

averages 77 (high of 116) against Geelong and 100 at the venue.
great VC choice.

What does he average vs 3rd game forwards?

Roma will run him into the ground.

Geelong sharking all his taps will be more of a problem.

 

[Sherman41]

After selection
Roma VC
Bont C

 

[Wellsy35]

averages 77 (high of 116) against Geelong and 100 at the venue.
great VC choice.

VCs are for gambles and upside.

He’s rucking against Shannon Neale with probably Ratugolea as a chop out, two part-time rucks. Could go huge.

Neale apparently has a good tank though, so shouldn’t be destroyed around the ground like some think.

 

[BuckleysBrigade]

I have the same early loop issue as many others.

Thinking Timmy the Butcher in a rollicking Tigers win for Jack & Trent, into Timmy the Pom in a rollicking win just coz

 

[Petrify]

Will VC Jelly against my mob for the lols!

C English

I'm doing Tom Green for similar lols. Those big bodied mids have killed us the past few months

 

[Faz 2000]

Just realised I've got no late useful loops. Great VC options, but no way to access.

Who the HELL does Ryan Maric think he is?

I'm in the same boat and will have to VC either Dunks or Neale. Leaning towards Dunks.

 

[Caztheconquerer]

Got dewar so vc Marshall into English

 

[TempletonTheRat]

 

[RoughysMullet]

Lack of loop options- who we going with for VC Taranto Dunkley or Neale kents

Neale or Taranto can't decide

Neale but very much expecting to be using my English C

Can't risk Dunkley. Probably Neale of those. He has the ceiling and the Pies will be undermanned.

 

[Axly]

Might go:
Merrett into English

Got Melican (SYD) loop.
Will be tight. But should be okay

 

[Hamez]

Dunkley to bounce back or too much of a risk with recent form and the likes of Marshall/English combo.

If you have the loops required for the Marshall and English combo, absolutely do that

 

[DaveyBoy123]

What is the minimum you would take from Marshall as V, Scythe?

I’ve got Dewar

 

[Scythe94]

I still nearly always stick to the 120 rule, there's too many risks passing it up.

That being said, in this instance you'd probably want a 130+. You'd think English gets that in his sleep this week.

 

[freddy mercury]

English vs Bont for C. English should dominate whoever is the ruck for west Coast. Mids have struggled to put up big scores against WCE, which is interesting

 

[ubeaut]

Bont or Gawn as captain?
