Bont v Gawn v Jackson for Captain after my I had thought I'd changed my vc from Daicos to Jackson last night.

Daicos got 1 less poin than his projection BTW.

I'm not trying to be funny, but that is a 'crystal ball' question, because there are so many factors that can influence a player's performance.

I too am considering those same players, and basing my thinking on;
for the Vice Captain, you choose a player that can score high and for the Captain, you play safe and choose a player that has a high floor.

That is why I am leaning to Bont, his history shows he has a high floor, and can also score high, and playing a bottom side Team. Also, 64 SuperCoaches out of 103, in the Poll above, reckon he is a good choice.

Butters has proven that he can score high, last year he had 7 scores above 129, but he had 9 scores that were below 100, hmmm, too risky for me for a Captain choice.

Heeney has a new role, so past years history is no help. This year, his scores shows that he is a safe Captain choice when playing on the small Sydney home ground, but unknown how he will score on the MCG in his new role. So, I see him being a risky choice.

I'm playing safe, so selecting Bont. I hope you make the right choice.

P.S.
Asking the Crystal Ball didn't help. :D

I agree with this fwiw, I was all over Butters into Heeney before the rd got underway, having Butters 175 still fresh in my mind against the Tigers, but as the rd has started I’ve cooled somewhat and moved to the safety of Bont after reading some articles on the Bulldogs last performance against the Eagles I feel like they might have a point to prove so foot off the pedal might not happen even if it is wrapped up early, Heeney I think will still have a day out and a 140+ is still very much on the cards, but I’m leaning more towards the higher floor.
