Captains Round 6 VC/C

[toxic]

I am saying you waited till the result went your way before you replied.

On to Luke Ryan. Kill, kill!

It's very hard to reply before a result has been decided

I stated a case and why

Wasn't anything left to say

Treloar and his run did the rest

Ross chose to send Windy to Ed Richards

Now that was interesting

With it being a bye round it means captain choice is even more important - I did a deep dive into a dilemma many of us are facing with Bont vs Steele VC. I discovered a trend that I think is really important and I was tempted to not post it but I figure how many people are really reading this anyway?

The Dogs are incredible at stopping opposition mids scoring high.

You won't find this on the stats sites like DFS unless you flick through the scores yourself because whilst they do allow mids to score, the midfielders score is spread across many players, they dont let you get a captainable score. Lets look at the mids scores for the year against the Dogs.


Round 1: Petracca 119, Oliver 105
Round 2: Touk 115, Flanders 102, Rowell 99, Anderson 98.
Round 3: Kelly 104, Yeo 82
Round 4: Bowes 90, Atkins 69
Round 5: Merrett 108, Durham 101, Duursma 101, Caldwell 83

Not a single score you'd be happy with having a VC on for the entire year. Now this is all with Liberatore. Without Liberatore raises a lot of questions, and of course this is only a trend, Steele could still go huge. Rowell was head to head with Libba so perhaps Libba is the only reason for the low scores? It's hard to say. But how does Bont go without Libba?

3 most recent Bont without Libba samples


R23, 2023: 162 (West Coast defeat Bulldogs)
R22, 2023: 116 (Hawks defeat Bulldogs, Libba subbed off half way through 2nd quarter)
R18, 2021: 93 (Gold Coast defeat Bulldogs, Bont had 36 touches, but 15 clangers!!)

After these games we get into 2020 territory which I'm not touching for obvious reasons. What to take from these 3 games aside from the dogs losing all 3 to worse teams? Well Bont absolutely should've gone 150+ in the 2021 game, and did go 150+ against West Coast. A 2/3 sample size is pretty low but it's enough for me to believe that Bont can go huge without Libba. Given the above 2 points I'm going to VC Bont, as the trend suggests Steele will be lucky to go +120.

For anyone curious, my captain is Merrett.

Adelaide vs Mids:

Round 1: Rowell 155, Touk 137, Anderson 129, Flanders 128 (need I say more?)
Round 2: Parfitt 102, Holmes 95
Round 3: Young 132, Serong 125, Brayshaw 97
Round 4: Petracca 140, Sparrow 90
Round 5: Walsh 166, Cripps 110, Hewett 105

Not a thrilling score from the Bont, but it was the correct call taking him over Steele. Hopefully I saved some people!

Junkempelli VC locked in

Not the greatest, but too many premos are dropping random low scores this year, way too risky to pass on it.

 

[Caztheconquerer]

Steele vc fail, unsure on butters or heeney for the captain

 

[Raveneyes]

Jack Aluminium foil was a disaster.

Leaning towards the Heendog, but the Suns mids are all point hogs, meaning the blonde stud may not go huge.

The Sheez might be my hero (or villain) this week.

 

[Nelso]

The VC of Steele was a debacle.

Seriously thinking of putting the C on Walsh.

 

[JuddgementDay]

I'm taking VC Bont

BTW - have anyone found these? I've lost them somewhere

 

[DaTBird187]

Steele into Heeney.

Steele into Heeney? Heeney is Steele

 

[TheWoodenSlug]

VC English - thought I'd give the big galoot a chance to redeem himself after last week, but 114 isn't gonna cut it.

Tossing up between new recruit Heeney, Sheezel or Anderson; or a safe 120/130 from Merrett. Leaning towards Heeney just to really put the mozz on him and **** him up for everyone, since he's been ****ing me over all year so far. I'm petty like that.

 

[DT_35]

Steele VC gross.

No idea now. butters or Serong?

Will also have Walsh

 

[Sherman41]

It’s always nice to lock away a captains score on first night.

Zerrett would have been my captain, can see him going well but not worth the risk.

 

[AFDogs]

Leaning towards changing my plans of Rozee into Sheezel, to Zerrett into Rozee or Sheezel. Help. Which combination?

 

[pieman123]

Steele VC was a bust, might go new recruit Walsh for the C.

 

[SC fish]

I'd go Zerrett VC if you can

 

[vic_LION]

Thinking Serong or Heeney for C after copping Steele.

Thinking of trusting my gut and going with Serong on this one

 

[Plugger35]

I copped the VC Steele stinker as well, on projected scores my best C options are Butters, Green, Heeney and Sheezel.

Heeney has the highest projected score but I'm not sure I trust him against the Swans bogey team and a strong Suns midfield.

Thinking Sheezel might be the go against the Hawks and it's the last game so if he has a stinker it won't ruin my round until the end.

Had never considered this approach until now.

To Heeney or not to Heeney is the question

Rozee Miller Stewart the other alternatives
