Opinion Round 2: Captain and Vice Captain Selections

[Pearcey47]

Wow not one mention of Fyfe! People would have been lining up to pick him against the Suns last season, or last week even!

Only scored a lazy 151 against them last year.

Martin into Ablett/Danger/Hanners for me. No other loophole options unless Gresham gets dropped which is a high possibility.

 

[MrMurdoch]

As it stands I have only 2 players I can loophole as VC into Gaz.... Jordan De Goey and Alex Rance. Better than nothing I guess

 

[kakarot]

Can't ignore Dangers form.

Likely Pendlebury into Dangerfield.

 

[BigRuss]

Likely Sauce into Danger for me. You owe me one Jacobs!

 

[Prochard]

Who is everyone using for the loophole(Which rookie)?

 

[bloke]

Who is everyone using for the loophole(Which rookie)?

Ueber for me

 

[Creeker]

Gaz into Danger for me. (Adamson loophole), he better not get named !!!!

 

[PowerBrokers]

Goldie into Dangerfield.

I reckon Goldie will have a big 140+ game against a weak Brisbane side.
If he's 70+ at half time, I'm confident enough to put the C on Ueber then and there.

 

[Junior Wölf]

Goldie into Dangerfield.

I reckon Goldie will have a big 140+ game against a weak Brisbane side.
If he's 70+ at half time, I'm confident enough to put the C on Ueber then and there.

Big call. But with lack of rotations and even Martin's own admission in lack of faith to run out games, Goldy might eat Lions alive

 

[BomberSam]

Goldie into Dangerfield.

I reckon Goldie will have a big 140+ game against a weak Brisbane side.
If he's 70+ at half time, I'm confident enough to put the C on Ueber then and there.

Why do that when you can wait until the end of the game?

 

[Nathan]

Goldie into Dangerfield.

I reckon Goldie will have a big 140+ game against a weak Brisbane side.
If he's 70+ at half time, I'm confident enough to put the C on Ueber then and there.

Unnecessary there's time between games or at least late in North game to loophole.

 

[THCLT]

Not going to be cute for this round...Goldy into Danger for me. Hoping Goldy can put up a repeat performance from last round so I can bank it.

 

[Darkie]

Hopefully this is on-topic enough: whicy players are still expected to be playing as taggers this year, and are effective in that role?

Jacobs, maybe Crowley, maybe Macaffer ... ?

 

[Darkie]

Pendles into Danger for me.

Pendle's score the week following a sub 100 score since 2011.
132, 134, 135, 155, 118, 105, 110, 135, 114, 110

Few 130+ scores in that mix.

New question is though, do you raise the standard higher if you are starting so many captain options?

There was some discussion of essentially this question last year. In my view the answer (most weeks) is a clear "yes".

 

[BomberSam]

What score is everyone happy to bank?

Thinking 120 is the pass mark for me.

 

[Darkie]

What score is everyone happy to bank?

Thinking 120 is the pass mark for me.

For me it is whatever I expect my best C option that week to score.

Usually that will be around 130, but it's not a fixed numerical benchmark for me.

 

[Bomber18]

I might fall back into Goldy into Danger. I think with Dangerfield's form, I might raise the bar to 140.
I had the bar at 140 last week and nearly rolled the dice when Ablett was at the 130 mark but 139 was just too good to refuse (unfortunately in the end).

Do GWS tag though? Maybe Danger won't have the freedom to do as he pleases against GWS although he has a mighty record against them.

 

[OzRulesFootball]

Gaz into Danger for me. (Adamson loophole), he better not get named !!!!

He had a hammy issue last week.
Given he has never played before at senior level, is still learning the game AND Eagles won easily I think you are safe.

 

[OzRulesFootball]

Who is everyone using for the loophole(Which rookie)?

Rowsus will be using Karpany.
Creeker Adamson and myself Cavka.
All from West Coast Eagles and dual position players.

Edit: Muffin Head is also using Adamson I just noticed from earlier in the thread.
