Round 9 - Captain Discussion

[senrulzisback]

Clearly you don't have Jimmy, who's been my captain every week and never looked like letting me down.

Cox does look very good... But Jimmy is Jimmy!

Clearly I don't

Cox it is.

 

[lifelike_]

Cox.

Bringing in Jimmy next week.

 

[senrulzisback]

Cox.

Bringing in Jimmy next week.

You may as well bring Ablett in, will be cheaper....Unless you already have him.

And if you don't, upgrading to Jimmy is still too much of a cost. You could get someone like Swan/Kornes, and you would have money left to get another gun into your side.

 

[SELFCONFESDAFLNERD]

I have a few options this round, Swan, Cox or someone who i think could be a good roughie (I should go with Cox - my captain choices have been atrocious this year but i just have a gut feeling he will do poorly.)

 

[M4cka]

with shirley out gotta go with judd

 

[The Falcon Strike]

Big Cox for me!

Got off him last week foolishly (well not that bad i had gibbs)

But up against the pies who lover giving away DT points as well as not having a ruckman - Cox should rock on!!!

 

[Signd Sealed Saint]

Cox will kill Leign Brown, who is just about the shittest player playing for any team in the comp atm. He'll score 120+ this week barring a massive pourdown, even then he'll still rack up the points from hitouts due to increased stoppages.

 

[RBW_007]

Forecast for Perth is rain from Friday through to at least Monday. Anyone know what Cox is like in the wet

 

[HolyRioli]

It poured down tonight, so rain is on the menu here for the next couple of days.

 

[Pinochio]

So how is Cox in the rain -

Good?

 

[Damon_3388]

There might be a lot of stoppages if it's wet, which could mean a lot of hitouts for Cox, as he'll only have Cameron Wood and Leigh Brown to contend with I'd imagine.

 

[GrandBlue]

Either Bartel or Cox. Cox should have a ball taking out small fries like Leigh Brown, Wood, Bryan etc but I'm very unsure about him in the rain. Jimmy looks like a good option but Liam Picken has already proven he can take star players like Boomer and Deledio. If Ablett isn't on the ground, then it'll probably be Bartel's turn to get the hard tag.

 

[Lakey91]

Ah, i think selwood is rated highest after ablett now - just something that ive noticed when abletts out or off the ground: coaches now rate him.

Jimmy generally scores well in the wet...

 

[pezz]

would go with jimmy if I had him , he is a monster in the wet

So looks like all abord the cox bandwagon

I don't think the rains gonna be too much of a factor at Etihad...

 

[samwise]

not putting cox captain if it's going to rain. i remember when he played hawthorn at aurora and it was really wet and he dropped like 3 marks and wasnt quite on top of his game. he was still good but bartel seems better now.
think ablett is a bit underrated as well. he wanted to play last week and will be fired up. should run amuck and try and instantly make up the brownlow votes lost.

 

[Hodges]

Aurora is really windy ground though, so that may have had some effect on him. Coxy is scoring at will this year, im leaving it with him regardless.

 

[Lakey91]

I don't think the rains gonna be too much of a factor at Etihad...

I hear its meant to be pretty heavy though?

Corey, Montagna, Gibbs, Riewoldt, Cox all in my mind...

 

[Rancid_Beasties]

Cox

Lost last week partially because i switched from cox to chad cornes...who had a decent game but scored poorly... 77 is not good enough.

 

[Notorious_29]

i think im gunna have to give the big C to hayes this week. in his 200th against brisbane at home. youd think he is a guarentee for a 100, and anything as high as 150.

also be doing this. has been in great form last 4 weeks 130,100,130,147 so hes definetly running hot. i carnt see the lions tagging him with the form dal santo and montagna is in.and at the dome in perfect conditions as well. should be good for a 120+

 

[Hillsy7]

Everyone knows a Big Cox loves getting wet.

So a big wet Cox for me this week.

 

[Papa Juggs]

I just can't take the C off Bartel.

Friday at Docklands? Yes Please.

 

[Beau_Waters for PM]

Lock in Gibbs or Murphy.

 

[aza03]

i never thought having cox and bartel would be a burden....

cox will rip up against collingwood (although fraser is playing again) but im not too sure about him in the wet. bartel always rips it up, but i dunno.....
