This week I thought I’d go through and look at all the games, picking the top dudes (showing their avg in their last 3 games Vs their opponent) and showing you who’s most likely to rip it up! - enjoy

Brisbane Vs Collingwood @ GABBA

1. Black  - 108

2. Swan - 99

3. Brownie - 99

4. Lappin - 96

Black got back to Brownlow form last week with 30 touches but it was the Browndawg who drilled 6 goals straight that will get people interested this week, he should have a ripper but Prestigimicombover might have something to say about that.

Melbourne Vs Bulldogs @ MCG

1. Cross - 121

2. Bruce - 111

3. Cooney - 97

4. BJ - 93

What the bloody hell happened to Melbourne last week? BJ was wicked with his 123 pts and he will love the MCG (3rd best DT scoring ground) he’ll kick a bag cause apparently Melbourne don’t play defence. Daniel Cross looks the goods too. He was solid last week with 25 touches and 4 tackles, its his handballs that discourage DT coaches, 16 last week, KICK IT CROSSY.

Adelaide Vs West Coast @ AAMI

1. Cox - 124

2. Goodwin 107

3. Priddis - 104

4. Kerr - 97

5. Bocky - 69

West Coast last week had 426 possessions (the most in the comp last week) and with Cox picking up 29 touches, 22 hit outs, 121 DTpts oh my! Coxy will be my boy again this week! Just lay a few more tackles Coxy, you only had 1 last week….buts that’s probably being DT greedy! West Coast also had 8 players who scored 95+.  Pick any of them!!

St Kilda Vs Carlton @ TD

1. Hayes - 117

2. Reiwoldt - 116

3. Dal Santa - 101

4. Fev - 95

5. Judd - 83

6. Stevo - 74

Good news Fev fans, he’ll be right this week. Not as captain though, cause you have better players, but he’ll improve on his 51pts last week. Reiwoldt should be good this week, backing up his 100 last week.

Fremantle Vs Hawks @ SUBI

1. Mitchell - 108

2. Pav - 63

3. Buddy - 48

Ok ok, yes. Buddy had 107pts, kicked 6 goals, but anyone can play well when their team is 100 up on Melbourne. But not this week. Bipolar will kick in to its fullest and no medication will help! Pav is a concern here as well averaging 63! Pav was good last week with 93pts grabbing 10 marks and having 21 touches, but the Hawks do something to him that he obviously doesn’t like, I have no idea what.

Sydney Vs Port @ SCG

1. Kane - 86

2. Chad - 76

3. Hall - 74

4. Kirk - 56

You know what Barry, I’d actually be happy with 74 this week! Yeah….I picked him! The big news here however is, Sydney will lock you down! Kane avg. 86! Chad 76! Plus, this game is at the SCG the worst ground for DT points, my tip - AVOID the Cornes Bros as Captains this week! Sydney locked the Saints down last week in their 51-49 loss only allowing one player (Reiwoldt) to score over 100. Plus, Goodes is going to be doing what he did in 2007, “playing himself into form” by locking down Chad, bloody shit! He held Chad to just 38 DT points last year. - You have been warned!

Geelong Vs Essendon @ TD

1. Corey - 124

2. Chapman - 120

3. Gablett - 105

4. Bartell - 80

5. Stanton - 60

I’m sorry Stanton, but you will most likely have a disgusting pink pig hanging on your arm this week. Shawn Burgoyne had it last week and he couldn’t wash the redness off him for days! Joel Corey last week had 30 touches, 11 tackles, ouch! and with an average Vs Ess of 124, he’s gunna do it again! If I don’t go Coxy this week, Mr. Chapman will be very high in my thinking.

Richmond Vs Kangaroos @ MCG

1. Richo - 93

2. Simpson - 83

3. Bowden - 82

This will probably be a very painful game to watch! Joel let a lot of people down last week and needs to get back to scabbing kicks across the backline. But RICCHHHOO, ha ha, I love the way he bitches all the time, gotta love Richo! 5 goals last week to go with 11 marks and has a great record Vs the Roos.

SOGGY CAPTAINS

Now, I’ve had some big knockers of DT talks SOGGY CAPTAIN theory. Yes, I agree tackling increases but kick to mark possesions are WAY down. We’ll I did some research. Rd 1 NAB Cup Bulldogs V Kangas, very very soggy conditions, Bulldogs top 5 players players in that game avg. 76 (with the highest of 83) then the next week their top 5 avg. 89 (highest of 101) in perfect conditions. Not a coincidence my friends. Anyway, from what I gather in Rd 2, Melbourne (not the TD!) will be hit by alot of showers, and also a few for Adelaide and “windy” weather for Perth. I’m tipping DT scores to be lower this week…..maybe….. who knows… not me!
