It’s a tricky week to find a captain with so many of the big names sitting it out. The top-10 list looks a little bare but Calvin is convinced that his order is ready to fire and to pump out some big numbers.

Player	Opponent Venue Time	Key Stats	Cal’s Comments
1. Andrew Brayshaw	@ Optus SAT 4:10pm	Averages 125 at home this year and is coming off 131	Dominating at the moment with scores of 131, 94, 111, 99 and 134. He scored 114 on the Hawks last year who are still bleeding points. Oh... but will Shiels tag him? I don't think it matters
2. Josh Kelly	@ Marvel SUN 3:20pm	152 on the Roos last year and #1 man based on form.	Averaging 126 in his last three Kelly meets a team that has been giving up scores. Touk (135) and Rowell (101) did well last week and before that Sinclair (133), Hill (127) and Gresham (119) scored well also.
3. Max Gawn	@ MCG MON 3:20pm	Coming off 149, Max is certainly back.	Queens Birthday game last year Max had 119. Before that (against Grundy) he had 90 and 148. Ruck v Collingwood lately have been solid .... Reeves (61), De Koning (66), Darcy (126) and Sweet (85).
4. Sam Walsh	@ MCG FRI 7:50pm	Form of 120, 113 and 111 is elite.	Walsh dominated the Bombers last year with 127 and will find this easier. The Bombers are struggling and Walsh will be huge.
5. Lachie Neale	@ GABBA SAT 7:25pm	Averages 116 at the GABBA this year.	Lachie scored 116 on the Saints last year who might use Mitch Owens to tag him here. He went to Simpkin (99) in round 11 but it shouldn't matter.
6. Clayton Oliver	@ MCG MON 3:20pm	#2 man on form averaging 120 in his last three.	Collingwood are the #2 easiest team over the last five weeks and Oliver hits them with some good form. He had 80 on them last year but should be 100+ with ease.
7. Stephen Coniglio	@ Marvel SUN 3:20pm	New coach new scores of 108 and 120.	North are #3 easiest to score against over the last five weeks and Cogs is loving his new coach. Expect him to be awesome.
8. Jack Sinclair	@ GABBA SAT 7:25pm	Here on form averaging 118 in last three	Ranked #3 on form, Sinclair has been great and last week, Brayshaw (131), Ash (123) and Serong (104) didn't struggle against the Lions
9. Darcy Parish	@ MCG FRI 7:50pm	119 and 142 in his last two. On fire	I'm not a huge fan but we're getting thin. Had 106 on the Blues last year and should be fine... but I'm not sold on anyone below Sinclair
10. Christian Petracca	@ MCG MON 3:20pm	Surely he bounces back after 89 and 40	CP had 98 in this game last year but my faith in him isn't high. He has 1x100+ against the Pies in his career eight games against them. Pies are easy though.. that's why he's here.
