Good evening one and all… welcome back to Calvin’s Captains for round 10. I have some rippers for you and last week my top-10 (which can be found at over at our patreon) was hitting sixes. My top-5 averaged 124 and that was with old mate Zach Merrett and his dirty 87.
Good luck this week and a special shout out to the legends at Patreon who allow us the time to prodcude the content that we do. Thanks guys.
CALVIN’S TOP-5 CAPTAINS
No. 1 – English v GWS
@ ENGIE, SAT 4:35pm
With previous scores of 109, 126, 141 and 128 it’s going to be hard to look past big Tim. Recent rucks to battle the Giants have been good with Goldy 82, Grundy 134 and Fort 92 (McInerney DNP) scoring better than what you would expect for them. English played the Giants twice last year for scores of 153 (against Briggs) and 151 (against Flynn).
No. 2 – Dunkley v RICH
@ GABBA, SAT 7:30pm
Midfielders rack up against the Tigers and last week, the three main Dogs with the most CBAs averaged 140 to be amongst the 7×100+ scores. Dunkley is coming off 114 and 151 and at the GABBA this year he has scored 151, 90 and 101. The match-up is one of the best for this week and can not be ignored.
No. 3 – Merrett v KANG
@ Marvel , SUN 1:10pm
Merrett scored 90 (tagged by Taylor) and 155 in this game last year and the match-up is an exciting one for his owners. His 87 last week was disappointing but before that he did have 110 and 125. From his three games at Marvel this year he has only averaged 100, but this match-up is too good too ignore.
No. 4 – Marshall v FREO
@ Marvel , SAT 7:30pm
Marshall’s scores at Marvel this year… 117, 62 and 117. He is coming off 163 and 117… and must be considered with a big job this week based on form alone. Let’s have a look at what rucks have been scoring against the Dockers. Grundy 83 (against LJ), Nank 70 (LJ/SD), English 141 (LJ/SD). Back the big man in… or use the VC to have an early look.
No. 5 – Gawn v WCE
@ Optus , SUN 6:20pm
109 and 92 are Max’s last scores and they are a long way off the 134, 149, 109 and 146 he had before that. Now, Max didn’t play the Eagles in 2023, instead Grundy went solo for 119. Recent rucks to play against Bailey Williams have all scored well… Cameron 91 , Goldy 82, Witts 135, Darcy 94. Max Gawn will be fine and a great fall back option.
CHASE THE VC-CEILING
Jordan Dawson v Collingwood – Dawson has been in great form also scoring 118, 100, 125 and 155 in his last four games and last year against Collingwood he scored a huge 172 (at the MCG) and 112. Strongly consider!
Nic Martin v Kangaroos – Coming off 121 and 119, Martin must be looked at here. But how do half-backers go against the Roos? Martin is one to consider with scores of 121 (GWS), 85 (WB) and 145 (STK) under the roof this year… that’s an average of 117.
Dayne Zorko v Richmond – Last week against the Tigers… Treloar 154, Richards 141, Harmes 134 and Bont 126 all went nuts and before that Ryan 161, Serong 141, Brayshaw 125 and Young 125 did the same. At the GABBA this year Zorko has posted 184, 127 and 102.

I can’t believe people still believe Calvin. He gets about 2 – 3 Captains right out of 5 a week and the guys tell everyone that he is the best Captain picker LOL. Ow by the way Cal you expert LOL how did Sexton go. I remember you laughed at Warnie when he suggested bringing in Sexton to his team EXPERT LOL
Mate, if you don’t like what he has to say p-ss off. Or better yet, write your own articles or podcast and share with us your deep well of knowledge on the subject. Your comments add nothing to the enjoyment of the competition.
Well said it’s just a bit of fun.
You know, I actual give you credit for somehow escaping the mental asylum. Well Done.
Mate, kid escapes oxygen supply to his brain 😂
Good to see others say what I’ve been thinking.
Your negativity is a reflection on you.
Piss off and create your own site.
What are you 9?
Good Luck in 2039
Stuff off mate!
shove it where the sun don’t shine mate

Put the crack pipe down you junky rat
The guy is just a empty-headed troll, but man – you had not one, but two comments at him and they were both equally unfunny!
Cool story Joe Rogan
Hey Calvin 126
Fag.
Not this bloke again. get a life
Any love for Serong vs Saints or was last week’s fade-out enough to stay away for now?
VC only
VC pass mark for this week? 122?
Flanders FTW!!! 100% taking it.
What about butters v Hawthorn. Could be big
I think you should start in an amateur league for AFLW before you join the big guns in AFL fantasy thwart or whatever your name is as you no squat about fantasy. Your just a brain washed foot solider administrative consultant for this circus
Yeah mate I just pulled my 2000 rank out of my arse then.
Glad you can pull things out your arse, it definelty shows the type of gurl you are. Seems like we need to get some things of our chest offline ?
why you living bro
Your only on 2000 wow I remember my first couple of years lol your still considered a pup
Can’t tell if you’re literally 12 or a mentally handicapped, unemployed adult. Find something better to do with your life.
^ can we get rid of this loser? Not needed….
Hi guys – we will bloke that knob there. Don’t waste your time with it. People like this come and go… you and I have seen it so many times before. Uneducated, keyboard warriors and attention seekering kids. Just don’t engage.
PS… I did bring in Sexton and am sitting at #1 in the Captains Challenge. #1 for now anyway. Cheers legends…. have a great weekend. KFC signing off.
Torching trolls is good fun.
And to be honest Calvin, you should be getting stuck in and letting off some steam on punching bags like that flog, after all the bullying Warndawg and Roy put you through each week!
Just as you did with Hawk all those years ago.
That guy WAS a problem stealing identities etc.
Calvin is my captain every week.
Legend Calvin
I notice he didn’t call it before Sexton played.
Everyone can be an expert after the event.
Do I take emergency clohesy or Blake Howes
Clohs score is above Howes average – So I think this is safer as Howes has gone in the 30’s before. There might not be as much action down back for Howes also even though you might think higher scores against easier match up if junking it up. Unfortunately, my team decimated by injury, management and late changing narratives so I have to filed both. Howes would be first off field for me though when able.
I wonder what happened to Liam with his 500 trade requests this week?
Oh cmon, I’ve decided to just go with my gut now, copping to much hate on here haha
I don’t hate you Liam, it’s just that I noticed you hadn’t posted all week.
Was burning last week I didn’t put Walsh vc so I vc him this week and now i hate this game gawn to save me
Darcy Thomas subbed and bontempelli getting owned early lads.
who the heck is Darcy Thomas
He could be the brother of Harvey Jones.
Bont and Steele vs Zorko and Marshall :|
Delete team now vs suffering through until the end :(
My VC failed. Howabout Nick Martin for C?
Do it.
VC Zorko payed off by copped two more injuries to Jones and Lefau. Lucky but unlucky.
It would be a horrible week to have Walsh Bont Steele green Merrett and parish
I have Walsh, Steele, Merrett, and Lazzaro on the field too. Only saving grace was that I loopholed Zorko for C.
