This week I’ve jazzed it up a little and to the delight of Mathman, I have added percentages to go with the averages! That will get his decimals tingling! Ok, so, this week it looks like this. Goodwin - 113 (average Vs opponent in last 3) and then (78%) is the percentage of times he has scored 90+ so far in 2008. I hope I have some players that get ya going!! Enjoy.
Adelaide Vs Essendon
-
Goodwin - 113 (78%)
-
Thompson - 97 (67%)
-
Stanton - 86 (33%)
-
Birdman - 83 (67%)
The Birdman only just got away from the Chop this week and surely will bounce back this week. If you ignore the 2nd last time Goodwin played Essendon (scored an injured 4 - I did) he is your man here. He averages 27 possies (113pts) Vs the Bombers and Thompson had 30 touches, 4 tackles the second last time he met these guys! The Crows will let Stanton run free, but he has only scored 90+… 33% of the time this year - yuck!
Collingwood Vs West Coast
-
Swan - 120 (78%)
-
Cox - 133 (67%)
-
Priddis - 125 (80%)
-
Shaw - 75 (67%)
-
Embley - 94 (56%)
-
Didak - sux
Mixed bunch there hey? But a certain Captain if you have them. Well lets start with Shaw. His average of 75 contains a 34, where I believe he got injured so don’t take those numbers seriously. Cox was my captain last week and let me down a little. He had 158pts Vs Josh Fraser last time and has posted more great scores in the past. In his last 3 he averages 24 touches, 27 h/o and 10 marks! Priddis had 143pts last time he played the Pies and averages 125 in his last 2 Vs them. Embley is in hot form as he has averaged 100+ in his last 4 this year. So who do you go? Cox is winning for me again, but Swan and Priddis are very reliable here with outstanding percentages! Ok, I’m off to bed and back tomorrow, and Didak does suck and no one in their right mind would even consider him.
Hawthorn Vs Bulldogs
-
Mitchell - 122 (63%)
-
Buddwood - 93 (76%)
-
B.J - 113 (33%)
-
Cross - 100 (78%)
-
Cooney - 68 (67%)
Sam Mitchellsurvived a wicked attempt to get score an extra 3pts (kick) off the ball last week. He does average 122, and should be very muchly considered - cause HE IS PLAYING (sorry). B.J and could be useful here as he plays well Vs the Hawks, but his inconsistency (33%) will cost him from getting picked by coaches this week. Cross will find shitloads of the ball running around Aurora this week and “Buddwoooood” might just be the call from the hill though, VT will be amped to the max!!
Brisbane Vs Kangroos
-
Brownie - 119 (50%)
-
Harvey - 96 (44%)
-
Black - 83 (88%)
Brownieis back!! Now, I said he averages 133 on the youtube show this week - my bad, it’s 113! But he did have 143pts last week (6.3 goals and 15 marks). In the last 3 times he has played the Roos he has kicked a total of 12.13 goals (kick straight JB!!). Harvey had 34 touches in their last meeting and there might just be a few boys here coaches will go with.
Geelong Vs Carlton
-
Ablett - 101 (88%)
-
Corey - 100 (89%)
-
Stevens - 120 (56%)
-
Bartel - 89 (67%)
-
Marc - 114 (78%)
-
Judd - 86 (33%)
-
Chapman - 86 (44%)
Poor Carlton, playing the Cats after a terrible lose! They will be ready to roll this week after last weeks display. Joel Corey had a game high 32 touches last time they played and he and Ablett are your safe bets here. Marc has only played these guys once and ripped it for 114. Stevo played these guys last in 2006, but he did have 133 Vs them in the NAB. He has averaged 115 in his last 2 this year and can’t be ruled out for the main job for you this week.
Sydney Vs Richo
-
Kirk - 74 (67%)
-
Richo - 53 (78%)
-
K. Johnson - 78 (50%)
Can Sydney silence Richo in Sydney?? - Well … Richo has averaged 114 in his last 3 this year, but… Vs the Swan his last decent game Vs them was 7 games ago back in 2004 which was 124. Now Richo plays a different style/positions than he ever has before… so will the great man be silenced here? - sorry to say this but YES he will.
St Kilda Vs Melbourne
-
Bruce - 107 (44%)
-
Reivoldt - 96 (38%)
-
Hayes - 88 (67%)
-
Green - 70 (78%)
-
Montagna - 84 (44%)
Lenny Hayes has averaged 110 in his last 2 games this year and is in good form. In the first 4 games this year, Bruce averaged 17 touches a game. In his last 4 hes getting 27 touches and 110pts a game. Worth a thought!
Fremantle Vs Port Adelaide
-
Kane - 113 (67%)
-
Pavlich - 108 (78%)
-
Chad - 70 (71%)
-
Salopek - 94 (44%)
Well Chad scored a solid 91 last week to prove his finger is going ok. His brother, Kaneo will get a lot of the ball here in W.A, he averages 29 touches in his last 3 Vs them, but Crowley will tag someone… my tip, Kane will run with Palmer and therefore Crowley will go to Salopek, but who knows? Pavlich averages 18 touches, 10 marks with a total of 14.8 goals Vs Port in his last 3!
CALVIN’S TOP PICKS FOR ROUND 10
-
DANE SWAN
-
DEAN COX
-
JONNO BROWN
-
KANE CORNES
-
JOEL COREY
Last week I had Cox 81 (don’t let me down again big fella), he knocked my overall captain average down to 104.9 pts - Goodluck!
il b going wit corey in sc but not sure bout dt eitha corey or bartel depends who i decide 2 bring in 4 stanton
Crowley,leave my Salopek alone!! Gotta stick with Corey, due for a big one I reckon, plus I don’t want to get off him once he has produced a ripper.
where is didak?? na, i dont care, im just getting in early before every1 that has him asks.
ps. awesome post
im liken Coxy this week, took a punt on Buddy last week and didnt pay off, so im goin bak 2 my main man.
why is mitchell out??
he only got a reprimand i thought
My team is in a transitional phase - cashing in the cows for a couple of rooks the past couple of weeks, but not bringing in the guns just yet (saving those trades for closer to my league finals).
So I need my captain to score about 180 (360).
GO JB!!!
Wasn’t Sammy the sniper Mitchell just ruled ineligable for the Brownlow & won’t miss a week? Apoligies if something else like an injury has popped up. I don’t have him anyway so don’t really care!
Chapman, is he playing this week?
Cheers
Sam’s playing. Corey for me this week. predicting 150+
isnt sam mitchell playing? pretty sure he gave up his charlie hopes so he can play this weekend. might wanna uncross him out
also guys wondering whetha i should do this trade
OUT: Vince
IN: Didak
any thoughts
Dane Swan or Gablett for mine. I’m happy to trade in Brown this week but can’t in good conscience make him captain against my own team… otherwise would strongly consider it.
Hmmm. Liking the looks of Cox and Priddis. Still not sure between them. Big Cox let me down last week. Maybe a bit of a punt?
Sam Mitchell is playing, he’s just out of brownlow contention. He’s selfLESS because he put the team over individual glory (if he lost at the tribunal he wouldn’t be able to play this week).
Cox let me down a bit last week too, but might give him another go. Shaun Burgoyne getting 3 weeks was not only a joke, but could hurt Salopek’s DT scores if he attracts a tagger. Wonder if Chad is playing in the middle if Crowley will go to Chad instead?
Last week Sydney tagged Danyle Pearce which was a surprise
fred, chappy is “50/50″ they had on channel 10 news last night apparently.
WHAT ABOUT ALAN DIDAK ????????????????????????????????????
ive got it down to five:
cox - solid 90+ every week
cross - similar to cox
pav - can score huge and being a freo man i want him to.
brown - i reckon he’ll either be mediocre or mindblowingly good and get 200+.
bartel/corey - whoever i get for stants will get a very solid score and can get massive ones.
someone help me cut it down further.
DANEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE SWANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN DREAMTEAM SUPERSTAR
I have all of the top five
DROGBA FOR ME THIS WEEK LADS
Can someone please tell me what the b/e’s of bryce gibbs, kane cornes and joel corey are? I’m still a bit confused about who has the right ones
daniel rich/alex, the scores are on the home page under the price check blog. hahaha, surely not trading bryce gibbs.
Check out the “Price Check” post… they are VERY close!!
WHEN THE FUCK WILL YOU COME BACK LUKE HODGE FOR FUCK SAKE!
OK OK OK - Sam Mitchell and Didak have been fixed - my bad for Mitchell, bit retarded! Got all those Mitchell fans worried though I bet!
haha. gotta love the way you fixed up Didak for all his fans.
i will go swan or cox and I refuse to trade stanton. I am convinced that the opposition will stop tagging him and start tagging mcveigh. I know what he can do because of last year and games this year where he didnt get tagged and got big scores. Adelaide wont tag him and watch for the 110 plus score
mate, im only one or two weeks away. hopefully next week though.
Hodge was like my favourite player in my dream team to watch apart from Johnstone and Brown because i barrack for Brisbane. His absence has just made the heart grow fonder. Come back Hodgus :-(. I can’t rely on Masten much longer!
Dane Swan is quite simply the best captain ever!
^True, Dane Swan will rarely get you a sub-90 score *legend*
i agree, i am the best player to watch in the afl. a good dt captain as well because on the occasion i can go forward and kick four goals to go along with my 30 disposals. i cant wait to come back.
hmmmm i have the top 4 captains this week and i also have the birdman who is playing the bombers!!!
Not Shaw. Haha. Get it?
Nah, Cox will be captain, and after Cox’s 83 my captain average has gone up to about 79, so it all good.
picking Cox every week is getting boring. I need a spicy pick…
Joel Corey for sure this week, will get over 110 guaranteed:) coming off two 90 odds, hes on the brink of a big one and carlton is the just the team for this to happen.
The blues will attempt to tag Ablett (which will still be unsuccesful) they may also give jimmy some attention but i expect corey to run free. The blues have some great midfielders, but none of them know how to tag.
hehe i’m going to that game! Making the trip across from Adelaide!
this might sound crazy but ive got some inside information- i’m putting gamble captain this week..
youre a madman, word. one crazy cat.
Swan for me i think but im also considering Corey, hes due for a big one but Carlton dont concede near as many DT points as what people think so Swan i say.
I have thought about Luke Ball against Melbourne as a complete smokey for captain… I’d be picking him over Ablett, Shaw, Brown, Pavlich, Franklin… I don’t know if i have the balls…
Where is Mathman to admire my percentages and numbers?? MATHMAN WHERE ARE YOU???
How did the city boys go tonight, get a win over Gold? Only saw the first quarter.
Good win mate! nice 49pt win. Roy said “well played wilo”
Dare i go with Swan again
Either him Cross, or Priddis
I thought that might be the case, gold were a bit short handed tonight, you boys are startig to play some good ball haha yes i think my 5 minutes just got us over the line
might just go……..hmmmmmmmmmm let me see………………….. DIDAK
calvin the only thing that sux on this website (other than stefs and sweeney’s teams) is ur captain choosing skills…………..ur fucken shit mate if u think that didak isn’t the most reliable and best captain ever. U R A JOKE
calvin ur captain average is 104 so u should be ashamed.
quit ur piping about stanton and didak cos they r both dt guns and if u dont realise that then ur a douche
here we go bozzy lad is having a cutty everyone… his best midfielder is stanton!!! and his team depends on didak great player he is. calvin is a lad mate.
neck up calvin ya parrot
omg dorss is 11th on the ladder!!
what a shit coach
stef u will probably be spending next season in the b league if ur not careful…………..relegated from the mighty a league
stanton……
dorss = crap
jarred waite…… LOL (dorss has him hahahahahahahahahhahaha)
stanton….
oi calvin whats ur msn…………..im keen to talk some dt with u cos i need some advice on my trades???????????
whats ur address???
stef = shocking coach
Ha ha - you sound dumber everytime I read your comments, I must stop. Didak and Stanton, oh shit! Are they really your best? I better start putting them on them, better cater for all teams I guess and not just the good ones.
Boz ur a stinker and Murphy is baout 10x better than Didak
Good choice with swan calvin but i might just stick with buddy due for an excellent score
Boz stef mya be 11th and ur 8th byt where am i pip down
easy….Cooooooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!
BRETT DELITIO
calvin, ur a fucken shit captain chooser, wheres hille, delitio and fucken shannon grant, mate do ur reseach before, they all pooned the captain this week
calvins a wanker. calvins a wanker. COONDOG< what about him, mate
bozzy-hack is a bad coach, Dorss makes consitent bad buys, he bought presigiocom, and Goyds is one of the biggest hacks every averaging 1522.22 perfornight
Oh my - BRETT DELITIO, do I need to comment on that? Delitio? Is that a new flavoured chip?
ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne MATHMAN!
Mathman to the rescue!
after using some extremely complicated math Mathman has discovered the following startling facts!
Didak sucks!
Percentages are awesome (thanks calvin)!
Nick Stevens is the best performed DTer over the last 3 rounds! Bartel and corey are 38th and 40th over the last 3 rounds! Medhurst is 160th!
Mathman’s pick is big J Brown for captain!
Mathman away!
Tough call this week. Will probably go with Kane but also consider Pavlich and Thompson from Adelaid has had a great season so far. Against Essendon, he may be the goer following his 150 last week.
WARNING: Calvin, Just be careful for your stats that you provided for the West Coast and Collingwood game. You may all be thinking “Wow…they all scored so high last time (Cox 150, Priddis 143, Swan 160), but this was because the semi final last year was a draw, and they played 10 minutes of extra time. Of course anybody is going to score highly when you play 10 minutes extra.
Personally, i have Big Cox, JB, Corey Worthington, Lenny & Carl, Buddylove and N’Djamena (which is the capital of the country Chad for those who were wondering) to choose from. I reckon Corey Worthington is due for a big score, so i’ll be selecting his party boy arse as captain.
Cheers Mathman!
Good call Mr Wiggum - forgot about that one! I thought they all just went OFFA - ha ha
WHERESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS YOURRRRRRRRRR DIDDDDDDDDDDAKKKKKKKKKKK???
WHERES YOUR DIDAK??
WHERES YOUR DIDAK???
WHERESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS YOURRRRRRRRRR DIDDDDDDDDDDAKKKKKKKKKKK???
WHERES YOUR DIDAK??
WHERES YOUR DIDAK???
after all of that….corey for me
Kane Cornes has done sweet FA this year, definitely not worthy of captain status. Bad call ya pirate!
Disco, I thought the same about Kane, but when i had a look at his scores, apart from two quiet games against Sydney (one tagging Kerry Anne Kennelly, and then the game last weekend), he has still averaged a bit over 100. He just isnt getting those massive scores he was getting last year.
I love being one of the few that got Bruce when he bottomed out. He is one the top guns and has been for years but few people have him. Now sure why, him and Brock are all the dees have!
Who cares if Didak isn’t there
Pick him yourself and make him captain… they are suggestions and you’re pinning your hope on Didak or Grant as your Captain best of luck to you but the stats dont lie. Mathman… always love hearing from you, made my day..
Has anyone ever seen Roy play bball… I heard he was awesome
What about Daniel Merrit?
Bruce lacks heart and therefore the ability to make decent score after decent score.
You could almost say the same about McLeod - consistent but always has a shit week every 7 rounds or so.
Coxy or Goodwin? Picking a capt against the bombers seems to work well…
calvin is a LAD and bozzy lad is the worst coach…
damn i got all the captain choices cept swan….HELP ME! lol ive gone corey aslt two weeks to no avail zzzzz cost my my elimnator…but yeer WHO!?!
cheers
dorss = stinker
sweeney = smelly
i’m going with big JB i reckon, seems a good choice between reading this post and over at
http://diehardfooty.com/afl-fantasy-round-10-dream-team-captains
coxy doesnt seem to bring in the big scores any more imo
Finally an easy DT match-up this week…Calvin!
good luck, and may the best team win…
jake king jordan mcmahon johncock or milburn
who should i pick
who should i pick up… not my captain pick
go fev
WWWHHHHHEEEEEREEEE ISSSSSSS CHUCK BORRIS?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
the tally wackers are soooooooo good, consistant 2100 for them. delitio for captain next week please cslvin, u fagoot
