Round 6 Captains

[Pumbi]

Cox will lose around 15-20 points alone this week due to hitouts. Have had him captain for four of the five rounds this year, but not this week.

Chad looks like a good option, but very tempted to give Boyd the captaincy. Can see the Dogs/Saints game being very high scoring.

Whats your theory behind that, may I ask?

Dogs always play a free flowing game. Not sure the Saints will leak many points though.

Yeah, i'm not questioning the scoring potential of the St Kilda players, more so Bulldogs. Lifelike's considering Boyd as captain, so just interested to see why he reckons Boyd and the rest of his team mates can break the trend of low scores against the Heavenly Saints.

 

[emblurr]

Steve Johnson over Cox anyone?

 

[Hodges]

Nah, the Dees actually have a number of good defenders. The rest of the team is crap, but there backs are decent.

 

[Stenglein's a Champ!]

Swan.

Doesn't have a great record against the Roos but at the moment he's irresistible.

 

[twarby]

chornes or gibbs

 

[senrulzisback]

Tossing up between Chornes and Selwood, still not sure. Might go Chornes because of Selwood's below average record against the Dees.

I am not doubting Selwoods ability though his DT ability isnt captain material IMO. Havent you been burned by him as captain a number of times already?

 

[Cruiser23]

Perhaps Squibbs against Hawthorn...

Sorry, have absolutely no idea who you are talking about.

Gibbs? Im not sure either...

it's too hard to change away from ablett. chappy is sitting on the forward line with a big v over him. he's not a happy chappy.

i'd like to know you guys opinions on the chance of a midfielder breaking 200?
if you look at the highest individual dt scores ever, the top 11 are all forwards, with bartel's 183 in 2005 the highest by a midfielder. seems the only way to score REALLY well is to kick a bag of goals

heres the list if your interested; http://www.fanfooty.com.au/players/records.php

Jeez i have a bad feeling about Ablett this week but im too chicken to take it off him!

 

[Skystyler]

just swapped Dalziell for Lenny Hayes and I reckon I'll make him Captain too.

 

[Beau_Waters for PM]

If I didn't have Ablett or Bartel, I'd go with Chad Cornes this week.

Yes, and that's why I'll be going Chornes a captain this week.

 

[Masss#10]

Chappy for mine..

 

[_RT_]

Been Ablett all season, I see little reason to change it now. Might not get 140-150 this week but I'm pretty sure he'll crack 115. Good enough.

 

[Drummond]

Cox.

 

[__aria__]

this might sound a bit silly but does it worry anyone else that ablett needs 40+ touches and a few goals to get around 140 DT points?

might go for gibbs or chad

Since when did you follow the saints? Did you lose a bet?

And Ablett will be fine.

 

[PiesMan]

anyone interested in Buddy for captain this week V the blues???

i am one of the idiots who penny-pinched and didn't get Gablett... shocking mistake.

i have Cox/selwood/K+C Cornes/buddy/pavlova/judd who all seem reasonable captain choices this week. who should i go for!?

since dream team start no one has scored a 200. forwards just dont kick big bags of 10-15 anymore just not the way footy is played.

the only way i see a 200 happening is a backman ala joel bowden, fisher, bock etc, getting 25 marks and 30 kicks in a cheap possies game.

the only way a midfielder could crack the 200 would be to have 40 odd possies + a few goals + 10 tackles. ablett is capabale of this IMO. he just needs to start kicking it a bit more aha.

Im going with corey i think this week. Still contemplating chad though.

I think hes due for 100+ (all i ask of captains really) after a low week last week. I am really not sure though - hes been playing mostly hb and thus not getting a whole lot of ball.

Agh, dont know what to do! Chad, cox, corey, gibbs, goddard, montagna. Which one!!!

history shows that cox doesnt get massive scores playing on sandi in the derbies, however the last 3 or 4 games between the sides fremantle have won. the chances are west coast could rip it up this year and cox could have a day out.

out of those few id be going chad or cox. personally id go cox.
