But the way Neale is going and against North Macrae may need 150 for the VC to be taken!
Then do not bother with Macrae as VC if you are very confident in Neale and find a fallback option on Sunday if he does not perform to your liking?

Be careful not to place too much stock in chasing last round scores or using it as a guide for future captaincy worthy scores. Minimal gains are to be made by knocking back a vice captaincy score of 140+ whilst attracting maximum risk.

North really need Greenwood winning the ball for mine theyve got half a midfield and just got beaten in clearances by a WAFL side, strange to hear they are going to tag with him.

Just going Macrae VC.

I also have Stephens as mid E so if he goes OK again tonight it just makes it easier in executing the actual loophole by putting the E on Hollands in the mid and kill two birds with one stone.

Going a different VC means mucking about in terms of donuts, E's and late outs.

Macrae into Neale

The way players are scoring so high, and the 3 correction trades allowed this week making teams more similar, which means to be ahead, we may need to lift the acceptable Vice Captain sore higher than the cut-off 130. :unsure:

Macrae into Neale, was tempted into Gawn vs Essendon but Jackson is a concern and would rather be relatively safe given my start has been average.

Unless there are obvious game style reasons why points are more concentrated in the hands of a few players, I can't see why the threshold should be raised. I think a lot of this is just teams getting blown away by elite players that are just too fit for the average player at round 1 - wasn't Neale on like 60 at half time?

Trying for something different, so Gawn into Cripps for me. Taking a punt on Max returning to form and the Hawks are giving up big points in the midfield so Cripps is a solid back up option who plays after SDK and Dixon, who are my only likely outs

I have skipped on Macrae as a VC option both weeks so far and somehow it's worked out with Miller C pipping him round 1 and Neale VC going nuts round 2.

Macrae is incredible at Marvel, but Sydney is one of his worst oppos historically.

Really considering skipping him again for a Miller/Neale combo this week.

Yeah, I'm thinking the high scoring will settle down soon, as opposition teams can see which players are dominating and they will put some work into slowing them down.

Neale v North into Brayshaw v West Coast

Lordy me, that's hot hot hot baby
I'd do this as well, but my only potential donut is Hough and I don't know if he's actually playing or not.

So straight C on one of them... can't work out who. Do North use Greenwood to pay Neale some attention?

Touk into Neale if Soligo isn't made the Sub (again)

Edit........I'm a dumb ****. Captain Touk it is.
