Calvin's Captains

Calvin’s Captains – Rd. 2

It’s bounce back week… and boy, do I need to bounce back!

For the full-extended version of Calvin’s Captains and my Top-10, join the crew and click the link below. One again, thanks to everyone who has supported us in our journey to make more and to make better content. Our LIVE Sunday shows have certainly been a hit!

#1 – ANDREW BRAYSHAW v Kangaroos @ Optus –  SAT 7:30pm

Match up is great for Brayshaw who is coming off 114. He had 134 on the Roos last year and returns home after a shock loss to the Saints. Will be out to make amends.

#2 – TIM TARANTO v Adelaide @ Adelaide – SAT 4:35pm

Green (128) and Cogs (104) were good last week against the s Crows and on his debut with this new team, Taranto scored 123 himself. His numbers in Adelaide are also elite.

#3 – STEPHEN CONIGLIO v West Coast @ Optus – SUN 6:20pm

84% CBAs last week, the second most he has had in the last two years. He even scored 120 on the Eagles last year and did that in just 59% CBAs. No Kelly, he’ll be massive!

#4 – ZACH MERRETT v Gold Coast @ Marvel – SUN 3:20pm

131 against the Suns last year and no tag coming in this one. Merrett rolled to 107 last week and should have a day out under the roof.

#5 – MARCUS BONTEMPELLI v St Kilda @ Marvel – SAT 7:25pm

I’m not a huge fan of his role but I am a he fan of his massive scores of 140 and 138 in his last games against the Saints. Big game on Saturday night!

OTHERS TO CONSIDER:

RORY LAIRD … A proud man who knew he was shit.  Never write him off. A big VC option only.

TOM GREEN … 128 last week and the match-up is juicy. No Kelly… more responsibility.

JOSH DUNKLEY … Bounce back game incoming. WBD had 5×105+ on the Demons last week. Plays at home for the first time after a loss.

Calvin. Some people want 110. Some want 120. Some people want ONE FIFTY!

I just want want to go to sleep after a few beers on Friday night, like any normal man, with a safe and secure century. No 120’s from Laird. No 130’s from Doch. No 170’s from Gulden. No all or nothing coinflips, just a safe, reliable, scrappy century. So, I ask you, neigh, I beg you…

Calvin: How about Calvin’s Scraptains?

V8, pappy. Hook us up bro.

As far as fantasy goes, Calvin could well be the Devil, Himself.

I thought we were going to get the same content as before. This is not the same – but a far more abridged version. Seems like to get the ‘normal’ version (ie last years version) you need to join the Patreon.
I’m pretty sure Warne-dog implied that things would stay the same but joining the Patreon would bring an extra ‘bonus’ material. This article proves the heart has been ripped out of this content.

Something outside of our control has meant that CCs is now released on Thursday nights. That has also changed up how things are done. It is what it is.

CCs top 5 is still here (albeit abridged – which was named up that would be the case), I’ve also added a Friday arvo article and there will also be something new post-round.

If you’d like more for your captains (which is more than ever before), check out the Patreon. We’re committed to creating the best content possible there while keeping DT Talk humming along with a variety of content.

Thanks for the response

Its your website and you lads need to do what you need to do. I will still visit it but to be clear on your website you did respond to a commenter by stating “You’ll still get a Calvin’s Captains each week, similar to what you’ve experienced here. There will be a BIGGER version on our Patreon”

Link is here: https://dreamteamtalk.com/2023/03/06/join-our-patreon-for-exclusive-content/

I guess the CC for those paying for patreon is maybe what we used to get and the free content is the abridged version. Its not really similar to what we’ve experienced on the website. It is still a good read but just ‘different’.

It is what it is I guess – I just didn’t expect to see CC in this state given what was previously stated. I don’t mean to be a spoilsport but thought I should at least respond to you given you’ve been decent enough to respond to my comment.

Keep up the good work.

(I may just join for a month to see what’s on offer).

I already picked A.Brayshaw to be my captain before you nominated him, Calvin.
Hope you haven’t cursed me.

Having lost two rucks in two weeks for virtually nothing, it looks like I’m just making up the numbers already….
If you don’t know what Really angry is, watch me explode after this round!!

Just a head’s up with Andy Brayshaw. We’re gonna be getting about 10-20mm of rain this arvo in Perth. Take out of that what you will but Andy could be getting a few more tackles then usual
