LaHug's Captains - Round 1 2014

[elephants]

I took the punt on Barlow in RDT and AF. Stoked! Reckon I will run with his 134 8)

Would be very wise to do so. I see GAJ's ceiling at 150 this week which means, at the very very most, you're losing 16 points. However, he's more likely to get 130 or less so you should be gaining points! Well done :)

Cheers mate 8)

I've updated the first post with a Should I or Shouldn't I? section.

Basically, it's this:

If your VC was Barlow, take his VC score! Definitely loophole. I recommend using ruck rookies for Real DT because you're practically certain to have a non-playing one anyway.

If your VC was Ball, Pendlebury, or Beams, it's a little tougher. I would take their VC scores over anyone not named Ablett but would still keep the C on Ablett if I have him.

For any other VC so far, keep your captain!

Bit of a random, left field one (well, two) here.

Just wanna see Treloar and Heppell, my two main BXVs captain choices (even though it uses Sportal).  :P

Cheers Huggy!

Only just saw this :(
Heppell very poor vs. North! Treloar solid (think 95) against the Swans. Definitely go with Treloar.

Yeah, have gone with Treloar. Looks a good choice atm.

The guys at DT Talk seem to be completely unaware that Daniel Jackson is injured and, thus, won't be tagging Ablett. Both Calvin in his progressively less impressive Captains article (seriously, used to be super well researched and now it seems like he's putting a lot less time into it) and Dunny in his article today have mentioned the fear of Jackson tagging Ablett.

There's a reason GAJ is number one on my list this week and that's entirely because Jackson is out!

We've got Tank (Matt Thomas) playing, he'll tag Gaz. Not the worst tagger going around either.  ;)

hey LH, quick question, is it worth going against the trend and captaining Scooter over Ablett? Scooter looks like he might go bang.

Obviously, it could be, but he looks more like a 110-115 guy than the 125+ Ablett should offer. Obviously, he went bang a few times last year (so did GAJ) so there's every chance he has a huge one but I wouldn't be banking on it.
There are many worse risks you could take though. Selwood was in my top 5 for a reason!

Cheers for the help LH!  ;D

Hey LaHug! Can I ask for some advice? Unfortunately, I don't have GAJ in my team (yeah I know, noob move from me, went Stevie J instead) so I missed out on his 140 odd score last night which means I'm short of Captain choices right now. I don't know whether to go Stevie J, NRoo, Rockliff or Scooter as my captain :( please help! Thanks :)

All good mate. I'd be backing Scooter from that group. If you want to take a gamble because it's a free hit and you think it'd be fun, back NRoo for a high risk high reward score or Stevie J for a similar reward (probably a lower risk though). But yeah, Scooter all the way!

thanks for the Ablett pick LaHug :-*

thanks for the Ablett pick LaHug :-*

No worries mate. The biggest difference between Calvin and me this week was that I noticed Jackson wasn't playing and, curiously, he didn't seem to.

That's cause Calvin is too blinded by Swan every week.

[DT Gun]

I locked in Gazza as soon as i heard jackson was out, as most ppl probably should have in hindsight.

I have a funny feeling stevie j is gonna go 130-150 v adelaide

No van berlo and adelaide have injuries everywhere else too

Im expecting good things from enright too
