Let's get this going nice and early
I'm sure like myself, a lot of you are in Grand Finals this week with $$$ up for grabs so Captain Choice could be the difference between lining your pockets with extra cash 8)
Goldy vs WBD into Fyfe vs Melb seems the obvious clear choice, and rightly so, but going against that and trying to hit a POD VC could be a worthy gamble too, because there certainly are plenty of juicy options!
Jelwood, Pendles and Swan on Friday night.
Heath Shaw vs Carlton
Hawks vs Brisbane could give you several options
Deledio or Dusty could bust open Essendon
Robbie Gray could have a night out against GC
Danger vs Priddis
JPK and Hanners vs St Kilda
Who are you going with?
Goldy into Gray
I reckon I might go Shaw into Goldy.
Wilbur will smash Goldy just like he smashed Mummy.
Seriously starting to consider H.Shaw, without looking up the numbers would have to close to the second best scorer in the comp (after Goldy) in the second half of the season.

Im not touching Shaw with a 10foot pole this week. Carlton wont be able to penetrate as much as Sydney which means his R50 , marks and general possessions will likely be down. Still should be good for a 110, but for me there are better options.
He also plays early on Sat and n a GF week I prefer to keep my Loophole to cover my Opponents C choice if possible.
Likely go Goldy into Fyfe. Tried and tested in the GF unless I need to make up points or cover people.

I agree re Shaw. Tempting but as u say more likely for a 100 - 115 score not quite enough.
Maybe Rocky > Goldy, (However this would be a challenge as one game is @ 14:10 then the other at 16:35) but more then likely Goldy > Fyfe
I might not go Shaw into Goldy actually. Goldy is probably the ultimate captain option, so if you can loophole him, I would recommend doing so. Into Gray/T-Mitch as POD options, or Danger/Fyfe as safe options. Safe because they will be very popular captain options, so even a stinker from them wouldn't be so bad.
Could even go Gray into T-Mitch. Foolish to skip Goldy completely?
Aiming for top 400, currently 431.
now with Fyfe free to play, its Goldy into Fyfe

Surely the only option is to go Goldstein into someone else, especially if the Dogs stay with their current ruck setup, which he should destroy. The way he is going right now it would take a HUGE vice captain score to take the C away from him.
In any case I like the approach of giving the best option first crack as vice captain, then going to a safe backup if necessary. This week Goldstein has to be the best option by far.
Ward into Gray.
atm only have reid as loophole option. hopefully steele or maynard miss out

Maynard plays the first game of the round so that won't help. Hopefully Steele remains out of the team for you!
Goldy into Danger/Sloane. Crows at home and Eagles don't tag.
My only non scoring players are Read and Glenn. Lever is on my bench but he will come back this week.
I can put the C on Glenn if Goldstein gets a great score but run the risk of taking the Emerg off Riley Knight and putting it on Fyfe, Hanners, JPK or Mundy to get Goldsteins VC.... If there is a late out to one of these 4 on Sunday I'll be in trouble as Adelaide play at 1.10. Is there anyway to avoid this? I can't habe 2 emergencies selected in the same line.
I don't do Supercoach, but noones looking at Jelwood against a team that absolutely leaks points in the Pies? I'd be whacking the VC on him for sure!
Well now that the obvious choice of Goldy into Fyfe has been taken off us, it should really open things up and make the decision so much more rewarding if getting it right
So many options to chose from
Goldy gets the VC, and hopefully I wont need to pick a C, but if I do then Danger, Priddis, JPK, Gray and Dusty are all options
Goldie>danger Sandilands as back up
I posted on here at the start of the week, Shaw into Goldy.
Now I think Goldy into Sloane.
My choice is largely going to be made by my loophole options, I'd love to have Goldy VC but there's no way I'll have a loophole captain after that game, unless Heeney or A Pearce are taken out.
Ward, Heater, Rocky, Pendles, Swan all options. Thinking maybe Ward due a big one and should smash the blues??
Ward could go Massive now Carrazo is out also...
Anyone else tag ?

Is this a trick question? Everyone at Carlton tags, although they haven't been doing it as much under Barker.
Curnow is usually the one that gets a role if there is one though.
But get around Toddy Goldstein. Pending a late change he is up against Jack Redpath in the ruck, and I'm not sure if he is even a McKernan-tier ruckman...

Don't forget BOntempelli was rucking last week with Lin Jong going 3rd up.
Goldy should smash out a 170+ this week if he can get 15-20 possessions.

Shane Biggs was doing a lot of the ruck work. It was actually quite funny to watch ;D
Goldy into Danger would be the safe option if you had loophole options.
Will probably chuck the VC on a player who is playing tonight.

As a dogs supporter it wasn't
the funniest thing I've ever seen... About as funny as watching a teenager steal some little kid's candy at the time, slightly more humorous afterwards
With Fyfe out I'm going Goldy into Priddis
Realistically if Goldy got a 120ish, id have to take it because I wouldn't back my Priddis/JPK/Hanners to better it, so I think im going to have to flip a coin between Pendles & Selwood and hope for a 150+.
Failing that just back Goldy in as C.
i have 2 options!
option 1 is to go selwood into goldy allowing me to loophole motlop with griffen in the mids!
option 2 is to go goldy into danger loophole motlop with one of my 6 dpp fwds probably titch!
cant decide so would love an opinion! thanx!
Goldy into Sloane
Quote from: Holz on August 28, 2015, 11:07:06 AM
Goldy into Sloane
yea i could do that too but i think danger will beat sloan this weekend! he was tagged last week but probably not this week against eagles!
Pretty wary of loopholing this week. I have McKenzie so it's not like I can't, but all my playing EMGs lockout pretty early, leaving me with no cover if I play McKenzie with a premium as EMG instead of Krak, and then there's a late out on Sunday.
Suppose no-one picked Rocky? Wish I did!

Looks like I have to go Gray tonight... or Priddis-Sloane tomorrow..
Who do you like out of these

Yeah with hindsight would've liked Pendles or rocky myself. Have Danger as C currently but thinking JPK might be better v St.Kilda... has had a good last couple, been solid just about every week and no Parker to steal points.
What about Gray tonight...

I'm going Sloane mate
yeah keep changing Slaone-Gray and maybe Priddis if he plays and ill trade him in for Fyfe..
Arhhh

Of course I did :P
Wish I went Pendles, rocky or Bont.. Didn't think about Gray.. Will prob stick with danger.
OK guys, in a very close GF with my opponent having Pendles as his captain..
My choices are Sloane, JPK, Mundy, Hanners & Jacobs..
Who would you choose?

Similiar position as you, its out of Priddis & JPK for me. Thinking JPK as the Ross tag should go to Hanners.

Id go Sloane
Have Hanners, JPK, Priddis, Nic Nat, Tmitch to choose from
Priddis probably the safest?
Danger, Sloane, JPK or Titchell?

Forget Hanners and NicNat. Too risky. Priddis,TMitch(if not sub!),then JPK would be my choice.
Bloody Goldy VC.
Between Danger Hanners and JPK for me. Worried about WC smashing the crows and the points fading away for danger...JPK over Hanners probably. Not confident. HELP?
20 minutes in and Priddis has just had the one disposal....
