Wouldn't speak too soon, if Robbo and/or Edwards don't return my forward line will still be a laughing stock.

Jolly still a while away too apparently, need him to hurry back so I can swing Ryder forward. Considering giving Hickey his debut this week, pending team announcements.

New York have 2 games remaining

This week against the #1 team next week against the current #3 team.

Sitting in 10th, a game and 3% from 8th spot. Making the finals doesn't get much harder than this and if they do make it, it will be well deserved.

Buenos Aires doesn't really look too difficult right now. What's your 5 round average? 110? :P

132 which is 2 less than your season average of 134.53

Though we've been averaging that with players missing.

This week we get Kornes and Stevie J back and should have 15+ players on the park. New York is no hope.

Can't decide on a captain since Bartel is out.
Sidebottom, Ebert, Enright or Hodge. hmmm.

Can't decide on a captain since Bartel is out.
Sidebottom, Ebert, Enright or Hodge. hmmm.

Sidebottom's highest score in his last 5 games has been 99, and his last 3 game average is 92.0 so no way I would pick him.
Ebert's last 3 game average is 96.3, so not very tempting.
Enright has scored over 100 in 3 of his last 4, and his 3 round average is 104.7 so tempting.
Hodge scored over 100 in 4 of his last 5, and 3 round average of 99.7, also tempting.

I would go either Enright or Hodge, probably Hodge.

Thanks CF!
It's fair to say I'm lacking captaincy options. Haha.
I'd go NRoo, but not sure how he'd go down at windy Geelong on Harry Taylor.

Always happy to help out a fellow coach maca. In fact if you want I could name your team for you this week and save you the effort? :)

NicNat and Sinclair both injured and out for at least this week, if I played Tyrone Vickery in the ruck could I only get like a 25% deduction? 122 hitouts this season, including 52 in the past month. #basicallyaruckman #needthat20points

what you need is a back up ruck. I have one who got 99 last week. Lets talk.

also no way you will get 25% I had to play a backman OOP last week even though I have Sam Day and Lachy Hansen who both play down back but are listed as FWD only.

Worth a try :P

We have Nic, once he gets over this injury shower he'll be good. Gault and Ceglar are both pretty good youngsters, doing well in the VFL.
