LaHug's Captains 2017 - Round 7

[Mat0369]

Those Rocky scores are huge, but I'm assuming they're all at the Gabba since he is averaging 100 at the SCG. Merrett on the other hand has been ridiculous at Pattersons. I might have to flip a coin.

Where's Torp to tell me who he is picking? :P

Yep, all at the SCG. But the Lions haven't played there since 2013 so that bit of history can probably be taken with a grain of salt. I think Rocky will outshine Merrett this week.

I'd be curious to see how inside mids have played against the Swans this year. I might look that up after work

v Port - Wines 110, Boak 97, Ebert 116, SPP 71
v WB - Bont 126, Dahl 84, Macrae 92, Jong 114, Picken 96, Libba 105
v Coll - Adams 137, Treloar 134, Pendles 115, Sidey 126, Crisp 101
v WC - Shuey 132, Priddis 105, SMitchel 75 (inj during game), Redden 77
v GWS - Ward 77, Shiel 72
v Carl - Cripps 117, Murphy 100, Gibbs 102, Curnow 110

Probably not all of these guys are technically "inside mids" however it gives a snapshot of midfielders against the Swans.

Interestingly the game against GWS there were only 3 players in the whole match who broke 100 (Cameron, Mumford, Haynes), although they don't have mids in general who are high up in the league averages.

The first 4 of the Collingwood guys all had 10+ tackles which we know is something Rocky has the ability to do.

[Mat0369]

Awesome work Rusty. The Pies had a huge amount of tackles numbers as a team that night. A lot of the talk is it wasn't sustainable but looking at guys like Wines, Adams, Libba, Priddis and Cripps tells me Rocky should be a high floor option this week.

I don't play the inferior game that you call AFL Fantasy (Dreamteam, right?), but in the superior version I'm going Pendles into Danger.  :P

But seriously, I should probably play DT again next year. Full lockouts are awesome.

I stuff up the captain all the time is SC, never good at the ol' loop-de-loop.

Rocky is locked until he gives me a sub 100. Then I'll lock him in next week anyway as he'll bounce back.

Nice stats, Rusty! Rocky definitely the best non-Sloane option and that just confirms it.

Question for everyone else... what do you think about Zorko this week? I rated him 3rd but happy for people to tell me why I'm right or wrong.

I think at the moment Zorko is just slightly below Rocky every week, so still a very good option. Last week was his first bad week this season, on a week when all the Lions guns were down.

With Beams out now, I think that only increases Rocky and Zorko's chances of going big.

Out for at least two weeks. Time to trade in all comps I think. Reckon it could easily become four weeks leading into the bye.

I wonder if I can get Rocky now ;)

[DBRiMatt]

I only had the cash to upgrade 1... but this week is now a massive trade in.

Neal-Bullen/Beams out, Sloane and Merret in.

I spose SPP should still make some more cash for me now, but i'll probably have to miss out on Balic via this trade.

Upgrading SPP next week will complete my midfield with Horlin-Smith as my emerg. So thats a good feeling.

LaHug have u noticed a pattern that the Saints forwards giveaway plenty of points to other teams defense
