Nick Riewoldt as captain next week (facing Richmong at Etihad)

[dcmagadia21]

Yes or stick with the permacaptain like Swan, Joey and Boyd?

[dcmagadia21]

I spelt Richmond wrong :P

[dean01]

I just note that Swan didnt score as high as he normally does against Richmond this week.Maybe could take it a little bit easier

[browny_wce]

could be a bold move!
Swan taking it easy atm and Joey was quiet today
but Roo sure did look good this arvo!
back to his marking best and every time thompson/firrito gave away a 50m i was cheering  ;D
plus Roo scored well with Kozi finally finding form aswell, plus Milne and Schiends chipped in a few goals

Just remember a few weeks ago when Richmond knocked off Port, Brisbane at the Gabba, West Coast, Sydney and Fremantle within 6 weeks.
Having said that, he looks to be back to his formidable best, not sure whether I'd be gambling at this stage of the season but all the best if you do.

When I noticed GAJ was named starting on the ball and Corey was out, I switched my C back onto GAJ, and very happy about it. Maybe Thommo was letting GAJ take it easy so he was fresh for the last few rounds then finals? Either way if he is named there agian i will choose him over reiwoldt. Roo would be a bigger risk especially after pulling up sore.

Being that it's Richmond it could also be the game Lyon targets for the mass resting of players ala Hawthorn last year

I took the punt on Riewoldt as Captain against the roos on the weekend and boy did it pay off!   8). I was surprised more people didn't seeing that his last 4/5 games against the kangas have been huge. I couldn't see him getting below 110. I'll likely be leaving rooey as C this week too  ;D

This is how I think of it -

If you are the better team - go Perma-Captain as they will probably also have one, and it's a 90% chance you will get a good score.

If you are the worst team out of the 2 - go Roo, It's risky but can pay of massively and gain ground.

[Davoo]

i was thinking the same. i thnk riewoldt will score 100+ for the rest of the season against the weaker teams. he will just dominate

But do you want 100+ from your Captain or 110+?

[Davoo]

im just saying that he probably wont score below 100 for the rest of the year.

Good point, never thought of it that way before.

That's how I always think of it, and that's the way you should be.
