LaHug's Captains 2014 - Round 18 - Split Round Part 1

[powersuperkents]

Zaha please :)

[pommyadam]

can honestly say I didn't expect any requests for a loophole option (given that the bigger guns play next week), but Zaha looks like a cheeky smoky

in good form, and should shake a tag - probable ton, but probably won't be the huge score required for a C

[LF]

Matthew Boyd and Lachie Neale please and thankyou

[Nige]

Beams, Malceski, Mumford and Greenwood please!

except Mumford plays on Saturday ;)

and boo! I was looking forward to a prediction of:

Last 3:
Last 3 against noone: 0, 0, 0 (Average 0)
Last 3 at nowhere: 0, 0, 0 (average 0)
Mids vs Noone: 0, 0, 0 (average 0)
Prediction: HORRIBLE against noone, not sure if he's even playing - 0

Oh, right. Missed that.  :-[

Mummy is playing on Saturday night though!

Just the big guy and my man Leviticus then.  ;)

I've updated with the requests (not for next week though, but feel free to read my prediction of 0 for Beams & Malceski this week)

ruckman are ALWAYS tricky to call, given that teams often play with 2 ruckman (and drags scores down) - I'm looking at 85 to be safe, but probably only a peak of 100 (with big Daws and HMac playing)

[Nige]

Cheers. Staying away from Mummy as a captaincy option until he looks like scoring like we know he can again but I thought I'd get some stats and a second opinion to justify my decision.

I think Greenwood's got a good chance of going big tonight. Might be a bit of bias seeing as I've always been a huge fan but he's been doing well enough to pump out a tasty captaincy score. I guess we'll find out soon though. I assume he'll get the run with/tagging role on Gibbs or Murphy, maybe even Juddy so he'll definitely see enough of the ball.

Managed to think he was still playing for the Swans ::)

I certainly won't take anything under 130 unless I hear rumours of Rocky injury/illness and I probably won't take under 135ish either.

I'd be taking SJ and Jelwood's scores (and Nroo, but if you've VCd him, you're either nuts or a genius)

and hey! spot on with Mumford :) - damn late changes giving him an extra +4 :(

[kilbluff1985]

rapt with Jelwood's score

gets me 4/570

[LaHug]

I'll be taking Stevie J in DT/AF and Selwood in SC 8)

[RookieDTer]

Stevie J is a flattrack bully, think he is the clear #1 (VC) this week.

Similarly, GCFC don't tag and leak one of the (or is it the?) highest scores to midfielders in the competition.... Rockliff is a clear # 1 (C) next week.

Easiest week for captaining/vice captaining for me ever. Side note, I am trading in ROckliff this week.

Pretty spot on summary we have here.

GC stats:
they:
- give up the highest scores to mids in recent weeks (but could've said that about Geelong, who held the Dees tonless)
- don't tag
- their best opposition mid (Rocky) has a favourable history (vs GC, at Gabba, and last 3)

I'll be in 2 minds if my VC knocks out a 125 though

I certainly won't take anything under 130 unless I hear rumours of Rocky injury/illness and I probably won't take under 135ish either.

Will take Stevie Js 145 though!
