LaHug's Captains - Round 10

[powersuperkents]

Sorry guys... :(

It's not your fault man, in the end we were the one's who decided to put the C on Stevie J and we all knew the risk it entailed. Your info on Stevie J was all correct and he should of went 120+ easily except he let us down :(

Agreed..not your fault Huggy Bear! At least you had the guts to follow your own advice and pick him yourself! I'm playing you!

It's been said quite a lot that Stevie J smashes weaker teams... Perhaps GCS are not as weak a team as we assume...

Yeah they were neck and neck at 3qt on 64pts each. They are starting to become quite a solid side. It's a shame the same can't be said about the GWS  :P

Yeah... I'm losing a lot of games this weekend unless the Tiger boys all shine... I was going to lose a fair few regardless of captain, but some matchups (Stevie J vs. Ablett and Stevie J vs. Stanton) were potential deciders in some games. :(

all this week tells me is that history means nothing, and to lock a guy with 5/6 scores being over 130 (Ablett)

[LaHug]

all this week tells me is that history means nothing, and to lock a guy with 5/6 scores being over 130 (Ablett)

But Stevie J was averaging higher than GAJ (120.8 vs. 120.2), had a higher lowest score (92 vs. 84), had scored over 140 twice (vs. GAJ's none), and was 3/6 for 135+ vs. Ablett 5/9 for 130+.
Basically, there was nothing to say that, by ignoring history and just looking at this year, Stevie J wouldn't score more than Ablett. All history did was separate the two instead of making it a coin flip. Unfortunately, history was wrong.

I don't want to sound like i'm gloating but just putting it out there. I captained sidebottom last year when he was in ripping form, also coming up against Gold Coast and then he spudded up, from that day on I have only ever captained Dedicated Midfielders, not FWD/MID's. Very happy with GAJ this week.

That's a pretty unfair assessment to make. If you're judging my Dream Team positions to say whether or not a player is a dedicated midfielder, you just have to look at Rockliff last year to realise how wrong that is. Stevie J is as much a dedicated mid as Ablett. One of them just happens to have forward status in Dream Team.

Yeah after that sidebottom rubbish I decided I wanted to make really sure stevie was the best option and wouldn't go sub 80. He has been playing pure midfield for the whole season and only gone below a hundred once (92 in his first game) so I thought he was a safe option. Sure ablett or swan would have been better but 94 is not awful.

haha If history meant nothing the fact Gaj had 5/6 of his past scores being over 130 would therefore be rendered irrelevant  :P

It's not unfair at all. You wouldn't have considered Rockliff last year,it's almost like your thinking that I would captain someone like Moloney over SJ just because he's only a MID, which isn't true. You've gotta keep it relevant. The forward status is there for a reason. It's a fact that midfield premiums are the most consistent high scorers and therefore better captain options.

The forward status is there because he played forward a bit last year. This year he's a pure midfielder despite what DT labels him as. Captain worthiness has nothing to do with DT position.

Ablett vs SJ vs Stanton vs Swan this week

Ablett - 5 of his last 6 over 130 (148 and 146 his last 2 vs North)
SJ - whales on the lesser teams (scored 146 on these in his only appearance)
Stanton - definate ceiling (149 last week, 175 vs these last year) but can also go very low
Swan - day game vs the dees, need i say more

not trying to take over LaHug here, but it'll be a tricky rating
i'm curious to see the number 1

I'll probably be doing my write up tonight. Pretty darn tempted to bring Stanton in this week but worried that Mick will target him.

[Toga]

Stanton comes in this week for me :D I'm not too worried about a tag because if you look at his SC scores they haven't been monstrous, suggests he isn't too damaging. But perfect DT slut. :P

Probably between Swanny and Ablett for me. But I look forward to LH's Captains!!

+1, i guess it'll depend on whether Carrots returns or not

i have a strategy either way though
