Calvin is back with another year of the all FAMOUS Calvin’s Captains. This year the new format should make for less reading, but still all of the important information that he has found. Let’s get this going!
Player | Opponent Venue Time | Key Stats | Cal’s Comments |
---|---|---|---|
1. Jack Steele | @ Marvel FRI 7:50pm | 157 against Pies last year and averages 150 at Marvel in last 3. | Ticks a lot of boxes here and the biggest one being he plays the Pies who gave the Giants’ midfield plenty of points in the AAMI. |
2. Jack Macrae | @ MCG WED 7:10pm | 143 in the AAMI and scored 103, 138, 147 on Melbourne last year | Usually starts the season with a bang, just like 2021 when he had 135. Has also hit 100+ against Melbourne in his last seven games. Early VC option (EVCO). |
3. Clayton Oliver | @ MCG WED 7:10pm | Averaged 126 on the Bulldogs last year. | Had the most CBAs out of everyone in the AAMI and will dominate this one. Great EVCO. |
4. Max Gawn | @ MCG WED 7:10pm | 101, 119 and 118 against Dogs last year and 124 in the AAMI. | Started slow with 73 last season and has only scored over 100 once in his last five at the MCG. Small flag, no worries. EVCO. |
5. Andrew Brayshaw | @ AO SUN 4:10pm | Scored 111 and 133 on the Crows in his last two. | Crows suck, they gave Port 5x100+ in the AAMI and Brayshaw is flying and too much for the Crows to handle. |
6. Touk Miller | @ Optus SUN 7:40pm | 134 in the AAMI and the Eagles are struggling. | Amazingly, Touk played the Eagles in round one last year in Perth, scored 68. Small flag in last game. |
7. Christian Petracca | @ MCG WED 7:10pm | 139 and 126 are his last scores on the Dogs. | Round one last year CP scored 90, his second lowest score for the year. But this beast can’t be stopped. |
8. Ollie Wines | @ GABBA SAT 8:10pm | 109 in the AAMI and 126 last year on the Lions. | In the AAMI, the Lions let the Dogs run wild with Macrae (143) being one of five scores over 100+. |
9. Zach Merrett | @ MCG SAT 2:10pm | Second highest score of 2021 was v Geelong with 143. | Cats can be tough, but they are not what they used to be. Merrett started 2021 with 111 and should be fine again. |
10. Brodie Grundy | @ Marvel Friday 7:50pm | Averages 128 in last four against the Saints. | He’s back fitter than ever and loves playing at Marvel where he has averaged 120 in last four. |
MY PLAN
Basically, I have the top two big boys there and will be placing the VC on Macrae… with the ‘C’ then on Jack Steele if required. The thing is as I said in the video, you NEED 30 green dots this week and should be moving heaven and earth to get that done. Macrae will need 135+ for me to even consider taking a zero from a player not playing this week.
