who are people considering as captain choices for round 9?
I've currently got macrae vc, but don't know for captain. Titch, fyfe or cripps?
Macrae into Fyfe
Fyfes the safest option i reckon, hes back!!
Gawn gotta be another one people will consider as well
Macrae VC is a lock. Choosing who gets the C is a bit more tricky however.
Gawn v Kruezer & Fyfe away at the SCG isn’t ideal, but both in great form.
Melbourne completely shutdown Mitchell with a Jones tag, could this happen to Cripps?
Mitchell against Brisbane away looks decent, but he hasn’t been in great form recently.
Danger, Dusty & Gray too risky with large stints up forward.
Grundy could go massive against the Saints, is he over that shin soreness though?
Oliver could also go big against Carlton, but may get a Curnow tag like Merrett?
Hoping I can go Macrae into Olango
Gawn/Fyfe as back up though
More than Fyfe into Oliver. Oliver will dominate Curnow
Crouch into Oliver...
And if Mirra doesn't play, then Fyfe into Oliver.
Macrae into gawn
I'm getting sick of the renewed tagging trend, and midfield guns playing full fwd.
Having trouble picking captains this round.
Gawn won't have it as easy vs Kreuz like he did with Hickey,Witts,Nank and Belly.
I think Dusty will look to bounce back after being frustrated by Jacobs, but is he fully fit? Will he play fwd? I think no and yes to those questions.
Oliver will get Curnow.
Fyfe vs Swans at SCG is a worry.
Titch? Rather VC him but can't as my NPR is Mirra.
Could trade in Danger, but Cats will flog Bombers, he could be stuck on the bench alot if not fwd. He could also kick 5 or only 1-2.
Laird or Fyfe into Gawn is the best I can come up with.
i think tagging should be banned honestly
If the AFL win the Ed Curnow appeal, I will be backing Oliver with the C.
Thinking Macrae into Oliver at this stage.
Fyfe into TMitch

Kerridge probably
They use Jed Lamb as a forward tag
I wouldnt worry about them tagging Oliver though, Curnows hardly a tag, he racks up big numbers himself
If they decide to tag someone itll probably be Jones, i reckon your safe with Oliver going well

Has Kerridge had any big scalps as a tagger?
Ben Jacobs restricted Oliver to a 75 when North played them, so it isn't completely out of the question for Oliver to be first choice at the Dees for attention.
Looking at Gray into Grundy?

I didnt say it was out of the question, im saying if they dont have someone who can do the job on an inside mid they wont bother is what i feel, jacobs can get it done at the stoppages. Jones also a quality player but has a bit more outside impact might be easier for someone to null is impact
Honestly i dont know but i dont think kerridge has tagged this year, but hes done it in the past
Have Olango in the last game so can go anyone thankfully this week.
Fyfe into Gawn.
Would think about Grundy if I had him too, Saints ruck stocks pretty thin.
Grundy into Gawn
My captain choices have been pretty woeful recently, so going with the gen pop most likely. Macrea into Gawn.
macrae vc is a lock, crows don't tag
now with e.curnow out, oliver is a good choice.
Fyfe will probably get tagged by hewed.
Cripps should get a vince tag.
Dustin doesn't look like he'll get tagged, but I want him to return to form before trusting again.
Titch is probably the best captain option as it doesn't seem he is getting tagged.
But a wild option I'm considering is zorko captain. Been in good form, could cop a dan howe tag

Hopefully you're right and Gibson is only in because they are injury ravaged.

Macrae>Gawn for me
Fyfe to Gawn
Danger into ZZZZZZZZZZORKOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Have to be outta Macrae, Danger VC and Titch capt looking to beat up Brissy for 3votes
New recruit Danger (turfed Crouch after only getting him last week) into Oliver. 8)
Still undecided on VC as i do not have Macrae but thinking either Fyfe or Trelaor into Gawn.
Thoughts on VC Laird? No Sloane, Crouch...
Lavender loophole only leaves me with Laird or Cogs for VC.. so gota go Laird tonight.
Into Gawn/Grundy
I'm not sure about Gawn this week. Up against Kreuzer? Surely he only marginally wins the hitouts.

Put the C on Oliver, he will have a day out!! Ill have to disagree, Ed Curnow is actually a very good tagger and has been for many years. If you look at his numbers, he has taken quite a few scalps whilst still racking up some pretty good numbers himself. Took Zerrett to the cleaners last week, whilst still having 30+ and kicking 2 goals. Massively underated in my opinion! For what its worth, I'm looking at Fyfe in to Oliver, but am tossing up on Gray for VC. Think he might produce something pretty special tomorrow!
Am going Fyfe as C.
Only non-playing players are playing tonight!
Good and bad at the same time
And Macrae delivers yet again...... C to Olango it is!

Yep Ed Curnow is a good tagger, but he will have to be amazing to influence Oliver’s game from the grandstand ;)

120 is a little low - Even if your choice goes only 110 only lose 10 pts whereas if they go 130 you gain, Think all suggestions will go at least 110.
Is Captain Grundy v saints a good option? How have rucks been going against them this season?

Ha ha that's another way to make 120 look good :P
Olango gets the C
JackMac does it again :)
Thinking l’ll bank the 120 with Bont
Lose what 20-30 points if my skipper goes 140-150
Lose a shower load more points if they get injured early or something crazy happens
Damnit Danger, not looking amazing here.

Put the VC on Danger so going with Oliver v Carlton for the big C.

Oliver, Gawn or Mitchell as Captain...really don’t know which way to go.
Havnt got captain right in the last 6 weeks!

Maxy is bound to drop below the ton at some point again, however Purple Captained Fyfe. ;)
Therefore, Maxy C.

I'm on the Oliver train this week I think. The Curnow factor has sealed the deal.
Oliver's last two games against the Blues - 139, 116.
Went over Gawn's record & there's an outside chance Kreuzer gets the better of him.
Anyone concerned with Gawns record against Blues.

I certainly went a shade of white just before that 50 metre penalty. Oliver actually went toe to toe with Gawn from that point.
Flower it all. Anybody but Oliver was the better captain choice. Gawn,Cripps,Danger,Titch(thought he'd get tagged again) even flowering Goldy... just not Oliver. Won't be picking him again.
Just read he played with a figure issue after having surgery this week

What the flower?? Why do we find his out now?? Wondering why he was wearing a glove but it was too late to change by then.
The glove thing had me curious. Anyhow, week was derailed by the the C choice, not much you can do about it. Just have to move on & hope things turnaround next week.
