Calvin’s Captains – Rd. 12
Oii arggg. Yep what a week I had. Just check out those scores on the side there will you and after 2,493 votes… many coaches had a great week with their captain selection.
44% of people last week rolled with Ablett for his 110 and only 3% of people took a gamble with my 2nd pick who top the list with 143! Goddard made my list for the first time this year for his 138 and only 7% of people gave him the ‘C’.
Anyway, don’t miss the boat this week, cause I’ll do it again… you know it!
Before we get into the real stuff. It’s always interesting to look at the teams who are given up 100+ scores to opposition players and always noting the teams NOT to pick captains again. As you can see Collingwood’s ‘free flowing’ type game at the moment have allowed 17 players for the other team to hit the 100+ mark in the last 3 weeks. Roos and Richmond still feature at the top, as do the Eagles and the Crows. The lock down teams in the league are still locking them down. Geelong have only given up 5×100+ scores in the last 3 weeks and the Saints, Lions and the Blues are all doing the same. This should always be a factor in picking your captain!
Good luck and lets get into the real stuff.
Nth Melbourne Vs Carlton
Harvey – 109
Carrazzo – 96
Marc – 88
Gibbsy – 82
Judd – 69
Marc Murphy averages 88 here in his last 3 and looks solid here with nice scores of 109 and 95 in here last 2. Juddy seems to struggle though. He has never scored over 100+ Vs the Roos which makes them his 2ndworst team. Despite the fact that the Roos give up 100+ scores, I’d be staying clear of Judd this week based on those numbers. Carrazzo has had just a 70 and a 98 in his last 2 but before those games he was awesome with scores of 119, 115 and 118. He might just a tagging role this week on Brent Harvey who tears the Blues apart… and if he tags… he score will be crap. Harvey does need a tag though, and after scores of 111, 121, 95, 116 in his last4 against them he is set to kill them again. Watch out for Brent this week!
High and Low – Bryce Gibbs had his lowest score last week in over 50 matches. His 53 certainly did not back up his career high of 166 the week before! He did have 119 last time he played the Roos so he might be back this week.
Hawthorn Vs Adelaide
Thompson – 121
Hodge – 92
Mitchell – 89
Goodwin – 79
Buddwood – 69
Buddy will be back this week and he might as well stay away. With 1×100+ in his career of 7 games Vs the Crows, he’ll struggle again. Hodgey looks ok though with an average of 92 in his last 3 Vs them and he is averaging 110 this year. He did have just 77 in his last Vs the Crows, but will be better than that this week. Sam Mitchell had 59 last week and a 111 last time he played the Crows. He is as reliable as a ‘buddy-bump’ at the moment! Thompson had a smashing 143 last week and looked sharp as, as is back in town. His last scores Vs the Hawks are amazing… 90, 129, 141, 103, 130, 146, 127 are crazy! The Hawks are his favourite team by a mile and he should crack another 100+ EASY!
Aurora Gold– Yep, back in old Launie town down he with the DT TALK boys in Tassie. Aurora is one of the highest scoring ground for DT points in Australia and will suit these lads again. Thompson had 103 in his last game here and Hogde had 110 in his. Sam played here a few times in 2009 for solid scores including a 140 and 132. Big scores will flow!!
Essendon Vs Geelong
Ablett – 125
Bartel – 122
Selwood – 115
Chapman – 114
Stanton – 112
Prismall – 98*
Stevie J – 94
Enright – 89
Jobe – 58
Stanton missed last week and if he’s back look out for a big one from him. He had 145 (31d) last time he played them which was in the first round this year. Jobe Watson’s form has been great but he’ll be cut down this week. He has received the Pink Pig tag in their last 3 or 4 games and is a sure thing to get it again. Prismall’s 98 was in his only game Vs the Cats. Joel Selwood averages 115 in his last 3 here and with scores of 107, 135, 103, 116 in his last and only 4 games he has played against them, he is set for another ripper. With those numbers… you don’t need to be a detective to work out that the Bombers are his favourite team to play! Chapman got another 100+ last week to make it 11 in a row for 2010. He played these guys in 2010 for a 105, then back in 2008 for a 85 and then back in ’07 for a huge 153. despite the fact he had just 47 in his last game at Etihad… he’s just too good to ignore at the moment. Stevie J had 96, 132 in his last 2 against them but hasn’t cracked the 100+ mark in his last 3 games this year. Barnacle Bartel was back last week with a 116 and has cracking numbers here again! 114, 117, 136 are his last 3 scores against the Bombers and should go BANG again. That averages out to be 122 in his last 3 and that just can not be ignored. Gary Ablett is better though, as you’d expect. Brace yourself for these numbers in his last 5 against them… 129, 125, 121, 124, 101. Huge and consistent! Lock Gary in for a 12oish score this week.
Etihome Stadium– The big gun Cats don’t mind a little Eti action despite not playing there this year. Ablett averaged 120 there last year (confirming my 120ish prediction) and Bartel averaged 106 there. Chappy averaged 91 despite that 47 he had there in his last and Stevie averaged 112 in 2009. Selwood enjoys it the most with an average of 124 there! The Cats love these types of games and in nice conditions (roof shut) these boys will not disappoint.
Last Time They Met, Rd. 1, 2010– As I’ve said, they met befoet his year in Rd. 1. But what happened? We’ll… Pig tagged Jobe and Welsh tagged Gary (37d). Dyson went to Bartel (114pts) as Stevie knocked up 25d for his 96pts. Stanton was allowed to go head2head with Stanton, hence there nig score of 107 and 145. Chappy ran free for 27d and Enright received a backtag by Hocking for his 90pts. Nothing too out of the ordinary here though.
Port Adelaide Vs Sydney
Kirk – 111
ROK – 89
Kane – 81
Goodes – 80
Boak – 68
This will be quick. Kirk rips the Power! 128, 115, 90 are his last 3 scores so look out him in a multi bet this week. Although I’m getting frustrated with the betting side of things and I’ve stopped betting until they start putting some of the players I list in here as options to bet on. No one wants to bet on ‘mid range’ guys… we want to bet on the big guns, so don’t leave them out. Instead shorten their odds if you’re that worried. But yeah, nearly everyone mentioned in my top 5 gets pulled off the lists along with anyone else who shows potential for the week or a glimpse of talent. Oh ok, that’s off my chest… sorry. ROK had 108 in his last agme against them and finally cracked 100+ last week to break his 4 games drought. Goodes will struggle and hasn’t scored 100+ on these guys in his last 6. Arggg. Kane did have 100+ last time he played the Swans… but it is his only 100+ score on them in his career of 11 games!
Richmond Vs West Coast
Tuck – 111
Cox – 110
Deledio – 107
Priddis – 102
Based on those numbers, this game looks very interesting. Deledio has had 136 and 110 in his 2 games against the Eagles in 2009, making them his favourite team for that year. Tuck has gone 101, 112, 120 in his last 3 against them and those 2 boys are looking pretty good. Cox has had previous scores of 98 and 112 but has failed to cracked the 100 mark in his last 4 games this year. Priddis plays his 2nd favourite team of 2009 and with scores of 97 and 136 in his last 2, he might be a good option as well.
100+ Scores Everywhere– We’ll there should be. The Tigers give up oodles and the Eagles hav given up the 3rd most 100+ scores in the last 3 weeks.
Calvin’s Upset Tip– Yep… Tigers to beat the Eagles paying … hang on… $1.85 (as of Tues on sportingbet.com.au), you gotta be kidding me? Apparently it’s not an upset and the Tigers are the favourites… well bugger me. A team that has won 1 game!! Headshake. Forget I said anything!!
Western Dawgs Vs Brisbane
Boyd – 109
Brownie – 99
Power – 99
Higgins – 95
Gia – 93
Cooney – 92
Black – 85
Cross will struggle here as the Lions are his worst team to play with 0×100+ scores in his last 6 against them. Boyd was wicked last week as my #2 pick with his 143. He has scored 4×100+ scores in his last 6 games against the Lions and that includes big numbers like 125, 138 and 140. Watch out for another big one from this jet! Cooney hasn’t cracked the ton Vs these lads in his last 4 so he might struggle again. Big Jonno Brown has previous scores here of 87, 120 and 89 and should go ok. He has been a little up and down of late, and should be avoided as a captain option this week.
Last Time They Met, Rd. 4, 2010– In this game only 2 players cracked the 100+ mark with Power top scoring with just 110. Brennan had 108 and should be back this week. Lake was on Brown (87) but is likely to play at the opposite end of the ground to him this week I reckon. Addison tagged Sherman (69) and Black DNP. Boyd had just 95pts (27d) and Higgins was the top scorer for the Dawg with just 98. Brisbane has their chances at goal though as they booted a crap 13 goals 23 points to the Dawgs 12.7!
Fremantle Vs St Kilda
Dal Santo – 115
Goddard – 111
Montagna – 102
Hayes – 99
Pavlich – 79
Sandilands – 73
Righteo… this game will be interesting for so many reasons. Pavlich should be quiet with 0×100+ scores in his last 3 games against the Saints. Sandilands had 113 last time these guys met but carries a crappy average of just 73 in his last 3 against them. Goddard has been in smoking form and has had 6×100+ scores in a row this year averaging 128 in his last 3. He averages 111 in his last 3 Vs the Dockers and with previous scores of 130, 104, 98, 106 he should be well and truly on your radar. He averages 105 in his last 2 at SUBI and that’s with a 124 in his last game there, watch out for another 100+! Lenny Hayes is also on a run this year with 7×100+ scores in a row. With previous scores of 140, 45, 119, 107 coming from his last 4 games at SUBI, he too is one to certainly consider despite the tag he gets from Crowley. Keep them coming V8…. Dal Santo has previous score here of 130, 116, 98! He averages 113 at SUBI in his last 2 and should once again be good. Montagna has had 146 and 151 in his last 2 weeks this year and will be looked at here just based on his form. But with previous scores of 94 and huge 166 in his last 2 at SUBI, Montagna will be clicked on by many this week. He has had a 95 and a 119 in his 2 games against the Dockers and with the taggers going elsewhere… Montagna will be a solid option again this week and has the form to support your case that’s for sure.
Last Time They Met, Rd. 4, 2010 – Dal Santo and Goddard had huge 130’s and Montagna had 95. Crowley did spend much of the day tagging Hayes (99) and Clinton Jones tagged our beloved Barlow (78). So a quiet game for him I’m tipping this week. Pavlich had 94 and with 8×100+ scored… there will be some HUGE scores in this game, but can you pick to which players. My tips for huge scores here will be with the guys who did it last time. Goddard and Montagna. Mainly because the Dockers only lost by 15 when they played against the Saints and will run with the same sorta plan…. Meaning Goddard and Montagna will have a ball!
Melbourne Vs Collingwood
Swan – 116
Pendlebury – 109
Didak – 103
Bruce – 96
Green – 92
Grimes – 79*
Ewww, last one and it should be a corker. Brad Green has a great record here with 115, 49, 113, 102 in his last 4 against them and if you can ignore the 49, he’d average 110! Bruce had a 58 in his last game against the Pies, but before that he had a ripping 112 and 117, and Grimes’ 79 in just from the 2 games he has played them in his short career. Didak has a smashing record here averaging 103 in his last 3 against the Dees. He did have just 52 in his last against them, but before that he 127, 131, 101. They are his favourite team of 2009 so look out for what he will do this week. Pendlebury also has a smashing average of 109 here and that comes from his last 2 games of 116, 147. He avoids the tags in these games and should be great again. But then we have Swanny, who I’m worried about this week. He averages 116 and has posted 84, 133, 130 in his last 3 against the Dees. He averages 119 at the MCG in his last 3 this year and looks like a great captain option.. but I’m worried…. Firstly, those 100+ scores you see in his previous scores (130, 133) are his only 100+’s in his career of 7 games against the Demons. Secondly…. My biggest and to be honest my only concern with the Great Dane this week is this….
Caution Swan Fans– Seriously! Be careful this week Swan fans. Mc Donald will tag him for sure and last time he did he held him to that 84. Last week he held Juddy to 63 till ¾ time and he will certainly be going to Swan again! You have been warned. But hey… it is Dane Swan!
Last Time They Met, Rd. 1, 2010– Remember this game? Collingwood won it by a tiny 1 point? Pretty sure the Pies will not let this happen again. Pendles went head2head with Moloney for his 116. Swan was beaten by Mc Donald for his 21d (84). Didak had just 15d and Greeny kicked 3g in his 115. Heath Shaw also had another crap 64, so you might be annoyed with him again if you have him.
Remember, my top 10 are in the order that I would pick them if I had them… This takes me ages to do after I select my top few, so please know that this part takes my deepest thought after analysing the numbers. So don’t ask…. “Goddard or Swan?” Cause as I just said… it’s in order! With that said. Why do I have 10? Cause I don’t want to leave out the other 5 there because they will have a bloody blinder as well.
Personally, I will be locking in Bartel at this stage and maybe Swan if I feel like a bit more of a risk. Goddard should join my crew this week (fingers crossed) and might also get the ‘C’ straight up, but usually I make players do a week on the track before getting the big job. But to be honest I’m very up in the air. 70% at Bartel at this stage, Swan (30%) but I’ll let you know in the comments as we get closer to lock out. Good luck everyone, hope you drill a beauty!

barlow i think
wish I could have the balls to put barlow as captain.. definetly not for me.
Too many to choose from.. ablett for me.. but i hope all of my players hit calvins advetised averages… ill have a ripper week if they do!
i know what u mean…..but anyone in the top 4 betting for the brownlow has to come into contention.
will there ever be another debut year like his?
Barlow??? I would avoid him this week. The whole point of this Captains page is looking at players who play good against certain teams etc etc
Looking at the stats Barlow has been an absolute gun 10 games, with 8 of them 95 or higher with 4 of those being 120+…… BUT and it is a BIG BUT…. look at the two games he struggled to impact… the two games less than 80 points. Who did Freo play? Geelong and StKilda. What happened in those games was he was tagged by the best in the business, Ling (Geel) and Clinton Jones(StK).
Who are Freo playing this week? StKilda – So I would say this week more than most Barlow is a RISK that you prob don’t need to take.
Early thought is montagna but most of the seaon i’ve had swannie as capt, i moved it off him for Bartel and got a big score then got greedy, did it again (to bartel) and copped a 60 odd. So maybe i should just leave it on swan, McDonald has a hamstring and was in doubt at teh start of the week so if he plays may sway my decision.
i’d be worried if he didn’t have a hamstring mate haha!
That’s the problem, he only has one………makes it hard to run properly. :-)
Chappy gets the C this week, Bartel VC. That will all change when Ablett is welcomed into my side next week!
not a bad call
shit. i cannot believe boyd is not in the top 5 let alone the top 10. i would have thought he’d be top 3 material. he loves etihad and is playing one of his favourite teams. he’ll be my captain for sure.
yeah was a tough call by me…. he’d be a good pick if you wanted
yeh ill probably go him. this will be the first time that i can recall not picking a captain suggested by calvins captains.
Montagna for me and might put VC on Joel
I’ll be going Montagna like I did last week.
Hmm Goddard, Monty, bartel or hodgey??
they are in order dude
i had swan locked but im going with calvin and pgiving bartel the big C
last time i had bartel as captain he scored 65 though…
I might change late though bro so do it but dont be pissed if I change :)
nup. locked. BARTEL. etihad. all geelong players will smash it up this weekend
bartel is banned from captain in my dream team
so down the red carpet walks montagna
just in the geelong/essendon game, says ‘Stanton was allowed to go head2head with Stanton, hence there nig score of 107 and 145′
is that selwood and stanton?
umm yeah Selwood – just checking who is actually reading – well done brother
thought chop was your brother?
Screw it I’m giving the C to waters
brave choice if u actually do it
Lol…
Im thinking Pods against Essendon’s weak-ass defence
Yeah do it! Pick the 1st year player with a suspect groin who had an average week last week… sounds like an awesome and well thought out selection!
just mentioning it
melbourneV collingwood was rd 2
I have resorted to put C always on GAJ.. i have juggled it around with Chappy, Judd, and Swan. Some weeks better v Gaj.. But.. in the end GAJ comes out on top with Captain averages, as someone last week i think said.. No more sleepless nights if you have GAJ as a perma captain! Go Gazza!
GAJ for me but might follow Calvins advice on Swanny as a smokey for the top job. hmmmm
Lol my mate had Graham johnny’s Cock captain last week
is he retarded??
Lol I don’t think so . But he is black lol
are you serious mate?
racism went out with hitler fuc you
He scored more than Ablett.
My side
Goddard,Hodge,Enright,Carrazzo,Shaw,Waters,Maguire EMG:Silvagni
Swan,Bartel,Selwood,Barlow,K.Cornes,Rischetelli EMG: Moles, Gysberts
Sandilands,Cox EMG: Lobe
Brown,ROK,S.Johnson,Betts,Pods, Mayne,Fyfe
My options
220,000 cash
5 trades
1 left this round
Mayne to Pav
Rischetelli – Montagna (or any other star besides Judd, Ablett, Chapman)
Maguire – Gilbert (or any other star)
what do you reckon
Y hav u traded already? Noob
ease up. it’s not a crime to trade early. or maybe. he wants to definitely use 1 trade to get in gysberts. so he gives us less to assume and less to think about. don’t be so assuming.
sinclair, with only 5 trades to go you probably only want to use a max of one trade for a while. leavin you with the 4 trades for any injuries in the future. if silvagni gets named or you have another defender who can play, i’d say wait for maguire to return and trade in motagna imo. why can’t you do ablett though. $220,000 is more than enough…
yeh my one trade was howlett to gysberts i was always going to do it so i thought i may as well
U never know gysberts could get cancer and not play 4 the rest of the yr
yeh but at least i got the cash i was always going to trade howlett for cash and ive still got moles as a back up
Yes get rid of mayne. He is just not dt worthy, so in other words he is a complete shithouse of a player
U running out of trades btw mate
Or Leon Davis. He seems to hav turned the corner
Maguire will be out so unless u want a donut upgrade him to duffman
Keep riskytelevision . Who cares what scores he gets u lol
Besides ur probably a couple of weeks to late for Monty. Maybe gablett if u can
Waters could be a unique captain choice 4 ya this week
Which shaw is that btw. If it’s Heath then u should probably trade him out 4 frank grimesy b4 shaw gets dropped.
Lol
Y do still hav silvagni. Do u seriously think he’ll get back into the side
Woah 10 comments . I expect u to give me the car now thanks to my great expert advice :D
thanks for alot of replies hope u do get a car , yeah its heath i dont have enough trades to trade silvagni out but which one do u recommend you havent given a definete answer
Maguire to duffman cos u don’t hav cover ( although I don’t know y u hav mayne to begin with, he is a joke and shouldn’t be in that team)
Clive waterhouse would be more useful to freo than that chris mayne( who thinks he’s a star but never contributes anything to the team)
“Waters could be a unique captain choice 4 ya this week”
I don’t think anyone is that crazy..
“Which shaw is that btw. If it’s Heath then u should probably trade him out 4 frank grimesy b4 shaw gets dropped.
Lol”
Heath Shaw will not get dropped. He is their drive out of defence, hence the reason he gets the forward tag.
“Y do still hav silvagni. Do u seriously think he’ll get back into the side”
A lot of people have Silvangi, and there is a damn good chance that he will return.
“Woah 10 comments . I expect u to give me the car now thanks to my great expert advice”
I fail to see the ‘expert’ behind any of your 10 comments, write your junk in one post so that I don’t have to complete a scroll marathon every time I want to skip past your rubbish, or just don’t write it at all..
Dude tupperwave chill dude. I’m just giving my expert opinion to a fellow dter. Nobodys perfect dude so no need to twist ur balls in a roll. U seem like a typical pies supporter btw
Shame, i’m not a pies supporter. It’s laughable however that you believe yourself to be an ‘expert’.
You have an opinion and offer your advice, I disagree with it. It’s the internet, what’s new?
Like the sound of your own voice hey kevin???
I reckon this is about CAPTAINS, so don’t talk trade talk here!
It’s disrespectful to Calvin!!!
Not having a go at you, but Calvin puts in hours of research about Captains, not Trades!
I’m looking forward to giving Hodgey the big C!
What a gun! Great work as usual!
O well trades r more important though
you are a deadshit aren’t you?
yeah lets talk captains… who we all going, I’m leaning back slightly to Swan… 50/50 with Bartel at the moment for me
Wen will the next vc loophole be available?
Split Round
i think its the split round in round 13 :D
will be exciting! Cant wait to get another double chance
Well done Calvin for doing everyone a favour and putting your top 10 down :), Stop people who dont have anyone in the top 5 from asking who to put the big C on. Locking in Tags based on his form the last 2 weeks and playing at Subi too ;)
no worries bro – maybe just for this week only though
Calvin it’s awesome work with the top 10 and I’d love to petition you to keep the 10.
As someone who doens’t have Ablett, Swan, Montagna, Bartel, Chapman, Goddard and numerous other guns, it was really nice to see options and go with your choice of Pendlebury over Stanton rather than having to stress for the next day and a half about the fact that I’ve no good captain choices.
Some footage of GAJ.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Noqt9-MoDXs
Excellent capt choice!!
haha he looks funny with hair now
i know!.. he is so good.. a privilidge to see him play in our generation!
Cheers Calvin a top read as usual.
locking in Montagna!!! why change what aint broke?
a very tough week but, was tossing up between Dal Santo and bartel also
I will be doing the same as this fine gentleman. Montagna has served me well for his two weeks in my team.. and last week as captain.
Waters wouldve been a better choice last week mate :)
go the mont!
you goin Monty mate? had him with the C the last 2 weeks ive been a happy man
mind you i did pick him as Captian for the game against the eagles earlier this year :( not so flash
MONTAGNA :D but I may risk Dal Santo or Selwood (124 at Ethihad) good options for me this week Cheers for the great read Calvin
I think I might go Selwood over Bartel and Swan….Looks the goods.. although so does Bartel hmm.
Great read Calvin as always i find myself sitting here refreshing the page from about 5:30 pm till your captains are posted. And i’ll be locking in GAJ this week very hard to go past him… Keep up the good work fellas
good shit big fella!!
Stanton got 140 odd last time against geelong
heyyy lovely post as always calv….Im looking at locking in ablett as captain as usual.
Also there is this annoyingly stupid team in our league that is frozen, for the dude quit dreamteam . How do we get it out of our league as our league is public?
What is a frozen team?
Where’s Boyd in your Top 10??
You were talkin him up heaps in the game description.
Is it only because Brisbane only have 7 100s against em in their last 3?
partly
i get to pick out of stanton, ablett, selwood or swan. Its going to be a hard choice but it will be either stanton or ablett
Stanton? R u 4 real? Surely not. Gablett all the way mate
sam excluding stanton
but ablets any ones pick
stanton on.y because of his 145 last time he played geelong but maybe not because he didnt have a sore back then
but then again last time he came off an injury he got 137 the next week against collingwood
Apparently Stanton missed last week with an ankle injury. From AFL site.
and the fact he scored 0 dt points
Boyd for mine. I think he’s earned a second week with the C.
Calvin, out of your Top 10 this week, what would you consider a decent amount of tons to say that you nailed em? 5 or more perhaps?
GAZZZZZA
great work calvin,
cant argue with sweet merciful at #1
good write up calvin, just wondering tacticly, if my opponent averages about 80 less than me
he has only montag as a captain option
and i have montag, barnacle and swan
so should i put montag as captain to lower my risk and hope my team beats his on my better averages, or should i go for someone different to try and get an advantage, as even if montag does rack up loads, i still have him as a feild player
tough choice mate!
im a gambling man so id go another option!
but saying that i have locked in Monty :)
yeah i’m just not sure, cause i do have the higher avergae of the two of us, but i’ve got a couple of players out (hille and maguire, but ive got trengrove and nason to cover), so i may have to go for bartel
I’d go Monty just to be safe. Although I doubt he will pull out another 140+.
going Goddard again this week, swan too risky for me
I know this of topic but heard today from a fairly reliable source david Hille, Dal Santo and Matty Richardson are all gay
doesn’t richo hav kids, but i’ve heard hille is too from a mate whos an old friend of kev sheedy
Well Wiki Answers says richo is
http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Is_Matthew_Richardson_the_footballer_homosexual
who cares anyway…what they do in their private lives is up to them, as long as they kill it on the field for us DT’ers thats all that matters :)
wikipedia is a source of dis information. if you post a link make it from a reliable truth source.. otherwise its just gossip shite!
Wikipedia has nothing to do with Wiki Answers, and as far as I know, anyone could wack up an answer to a question.
im not sure what your sources are but dal santo looks to be going alrite here: http://www.theage.com.au/photogallery/lifestyle/fashion/2009-brownlow-medal/20090921-fy8l.html?selectedImage=19
and What is your soruce if it reliable why dont you say what it is
Who cares! thisis DT footy not gossip womens weekly! Respect them as athletes
I know calvin you have put the research in and all, but im going to say no to Goddard for captain and he wont get 100. Stkilda played Freo the week after they lost the Voldt, people say that we got a bit of luck, i think its bad luck as some player always stands up and bags goals aka Goddard, Milne in games like that and we saw it last week with Tyson Edwards. Thats my opinions.
Personally im going either Selwood with that average or Boyd to start killing it again, his 95 last time was when he broke his hand!
Thank you for illustrating, MC, what a one-eyed supporter looks like.
Goddard does not have to kick 5 goals to hit his 100+ against Freo. The fact of the matter is, he is a supersmart footballer, how always finds himself in the right spot, backs himself and has an incredible field kick.
I note that 95% of his 38 possession, 10 mark game was won in the backline last week.
Goddard will 100, and you are an almighty peanut.
Also, maybe 11 or 12 years old? Think before you post, or you’ll never grow pubes.
Does nicky dal usually get tagged??
i brought him in last week, luckily i didnt get sucked in and put the big c on him with his 70 pts.. its made me worried though to put it on him this week….
Just a random question.
What happens when you pick two emergencies and only one field player does not play? Which emergencies score is used?
the lowest score of the 2
the one with the lower score
That sucks! So what happens then if one of the two emergencies didnt play I assume it takes the score from the player who did get a score?
youll prob get the zero. why have 2 emergencies for one player anyway?, the teams havent been announced yet?
If you have 2 emergencies in the same position and one on field player doesn’t play, you get the lowest scoring player, if he plays and gets 0 then you get 0, if he is late withdrawal then you get the other guys score.
We can’t go past a number 1 pick, the smooth cat GA Junior.
Calvin, very very nice work! no daylight this week? Gaz it will be for me, hes just my permanent captain now he’s in my side. Swan, Chaps, Jimmy, Gods & Boyd just take a backseat for the rest of the year and let gaz work his magic thanks….
not a bad move… till he’s rested again he he… as if he will be
hey guys, just want to make an off topic but interesting point.. there is nowhere else to put it :)
Lately especially i’ve been hearing a lot of talk about how dt next year is going to work with the introduction of the gold coast, meaning each week one team will have a bye. I think the easiest solution is this: Each week you are able to substitute any donut/s u would otherwise get, with the score/s of any playing player/s you dont owm, regardless of how many bye players u own. In effect, substituting a player/players just for that round. Ofcourse you would not be able to make this player captain, and he would have to be at or lower in cash value than the player u are subbing him for who is having a bye. Just some food for thought guys but i think thats the easiest way out of this colossal problem that is about to arise, plus it will add an extra element to the game. It will reward those dedicated dt’ers who are crunching the numbers each week and seperate them(us) from the pack of “im still in it coz i have hodge, goddard and barlow coz dt talk told me so” brainless duds! Please discuss guys i would love some ideas on this.
I think you should get more sleep dude.
Don’t worry about it gambler. A lot of people haven’t had to deal with many injuries and suspensions yet and guns will cop the bone from General Soreness in the latter half of the season. Trading for crap reserves that enabled them to upgrade Ball to Ablett will come home to roost then and you will claim your preferred ranking.
NRL and EPL dream team both work fine with byes. Different scoring systems but I’m sure vs is all over it
tkol had the best idea lol
Credit where credit is due Calvin, i reckon 80% of people read this knowing damn well who they will already make their captain, but yet every Thursday morning when i lob into work first thing I do is read Calvins captains. Would not matter if you told me ablett averaged 40 and Bartel 130 i would still probably go ablett. So hats of to you for making it interesting!
Just a thought but maybe next week you can do a poll which asks “Did my calvins captains?” And have options;
* Nothing as if i would ever take the C of Ablett
* Nothing as if i would ever take the C of Swan
* I had a lock but now you got me thinking
* Fuck me calvin now im just confused
* Thank you Calvin you have found me a beauty
Something like that :)
Would be interesting to see how much past games, averages, grounds.etc people take into account when choosing a captain.
not a bad idea…. but it might be too disheartening for me as I like to think I help anyway ha ha. I mean… even if you always go Gary and I say “wicked call cause gary does this and that” then I’d hope it would make people sleep a little better! And know that I screwed gary, not just them! Plus if Gary is out… or Swan is out and some people need a back up.
Plus, I mainly use this shit here for betting reason… EG.. I will try to find a bet against Cross or Cooney this week (who go shit Vs the Lions) and make cash.
So Although it’s a “Captain’s” post, I’d like to think people use it for other reasons… betting, having a beer on Wednesday night chilling, or getting to work Thursday and maybe doing the same without a beer.
Love ya work too Orbs
i have seriously lost faith in ablett after picking him up 4 weeks ago and him delivering sweet FA that any premium has been averaging but i paid 550,000 absolute shambles….
So now im very seriously considering Monty for captain or BJ….
Yeah no matter how well a player is doing I refuse to pay their inflated price, especially if its due to a couple freakish scores. I either accept that I’ve missed the train or I wait until they dip down to something reasonable, so potentially I could be paying $60,000 less for Ablett than you.
A good example of this is Montagna, I wouldn’t pick him up now. Just needs a sub 100 score after those two big scores and I’ll be picking him up later in the year for $440,000.
Now as far as captain choice goes, either Selwood, Swan, Bartel or Hayes… Probably Bartel.
Interesting point Gazza….do you reckon jumping on Goddard now would be a bad move then?
It’s an interesting question since I always start with Goddard, but given I was in your situation I wouldn’t no. He will jump in price further yes but it would make better sense to jump on Gilbert or scotland. If goddard ever falls around $400k-$420k again then I’d get him.
The only time I’d break this rule is if I had all my team locked bar Goddard in defence, I had plenty of trades and a big surplus of cash. But lets get real this is DT, the gods would never allow this :)
You’ve lost faith in Sweet Merciful Jesus?
Make someone else captain at your own peril.
He didn’t mean it tkol, he was only joking.
jacked_brah apologise to tkol :)
is it getting a bit hot in here? someone open a window.
I heard Barack Obama on the radio talking about DT…
“Let’s take this tragedy and turn it into an opportunity”
Good one i think im gonna lock in joey with his form but ive got the top 4 in the top 10 so i might change later
http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/96032/default.aspx
That should lift your spirits Warnie!
Hmmm, V the Roos, I think the Blues will smash out at least 5 x 100+ scores, so Judd is getting the C as a roughy this week
Swanny for me, I’m giving him another chance after having had him skipper against the dees round 2…I always keep my captain if they did well the previous week
Changing topic for a minute, Next Round Eliminator is open.
Ive fared reallll well again!
Glad to see Chappy in there… no idea why he wasn’t there last week since he had already smashed 10 in a row.
The great thing about Calvin’s Captains is that its an exhaustive statistical treasure trove that Calvin then has the grace to analyse. All the peeps with Gary Ablett bedsheets who say “I always give mine to Ablett” and don’t read this marvelous tome deserve to live in dt and afl darkness.
Calvin’s given Boyd a wrap but has chosen to leave him off the top ten this week. His hand has all but healed and he’s ready to go BANG! so I’m making him captain this week. Bartel for safety gets the little c.
yeah Boyd was ripped off this week.
He’ll still have 100 surely, just an unlucky week for Brad in CC’s
Great work Calvin,
I have GAJ however as the season goes on and you have more and more premo guns and one of them gets more points than GAJ the more likely you are to role the dice.
If I didn’t have GAJ I might have gone boyd or goddard…. even with Bartel, Swan, Selwood, Montag
