Welcome back legends. It was a funny old round with some big boys hitting huge numbers and other premiums flopping. We have heaps of options this week so getting the VC and CAPT in the right combination is very important.
Remember, you can see my full-extended article in our patreon space. This is a 2000+ word, game by game break down of 30-40 players where I cover the pros and cons for each… before settling on my top-10 (in the order I would pick them) which goes up at 7pm sharp every Thursday night.
Good luck for round 11 guys and let’s get cracking.
CALVIN’S TOP-5 CAPTAINS
No. 1 – Marshall v MELB
@ the MCG, SUN 3:20pm
The man is #1 on form averaging 151 in his last three games and even had 148 against Gawn/Grundy combination last season. Rucks this year against Gawn haven’t really fired but the best have been Grundy 118, English 113 and Nank 85. What I love about Rowan is his ability to fill all the stat lines and does so with 92% game time. Must be backed in again with some juicy VC options before him.
No. 2 – Merrett v RICH
@ Marvel, SAT 7:40pm
Last year against the Tigers, Merrett had a season-high 158 (39d, 8m). His last two games at the MCG have been awesome as well with 123 and 125. We all know the type of scores the Tigers give up, and Merrett will be cashing in… mark my words.
No. 3 – Zorko v HAW
@ Marvel , SUN 1:10pm
Half-backers and DEFs have dominated the Hawks recently with Houston 136, Bonner 129, NWM 119, Wilkie 114 and Dale 105 leading the way in the last three weeks. Zorko is coming off some big games of 148, 109 and 184 … VC if you can!
No. 4 – Daicos v FREO
@ Optus, FRI 8:10pm
Ranked #5 on form with an average of 125 after scoring 115, 131 and 122 in his most recent games. Daicos played at Optus last year for 114 (WCE) and in this game last year against the Dockers he had 132 (36 touches, MCG) and recently the Dockers have been leaking a few points.
No. 5 – Martin v RICH
@ Marvel , SAT 7:40pm
Half-backs against the Tigers also feast. Look at what Zorko 148 and Ryan 161 had. Martin will be huge if… they don’t play him forward. He played 83% of the final term FWD for 0 marks and 14pts. Another VC option if you can who could go 90 to 150!
ALSO CONSIDER…
Dawson v West Coast – Dawson played the Eagles twice last year for 105 and 105. He is coming off 117 and 118, and as we know the Eagles give up plenty. Two weeks ago, Daicos 131 and Crisp 130 scored well and JD will here.
Gawn v St Kilda – While Marshall dominates himself… he lets his opponent do as they please. Jackson 116, Meek 124, Xerri 127 and Sweet 96 have all recently had a day out against him. Max Gawn should do the same.
Green v Geelong – Geelong are one of the easiest teams to post points against with Anderson 142, Rowell 132, Miller 108… Wines 133, Butters 128, JHF 113 all killing it recently. Green should be way better than his recent 83 and 98.

Errrrrroooollll for the VC
Grundy would have to have been an option? Remember hearing a while back Calvin saying English’ opponents score massive centuries on the regular.
That and Grundy seems to play his best against better opposition, that’s why I VCd him.
I’ll bank that 119 gladly.
Take Gulden’s points or hope for a big Zorko score?
Uwot?
My bad. Should I captain loophole Guldens points or keep Zorko C
i am going to take gulden points over nick daicos i reckon
I seen on some reports that Zorko will get the maginess tag so just be wary. Finn said to the media that he will be looking to curb his influence.
From the stands maybe
Unless Maginess is a late in I can’t see him curbing the influence that Zorko will have on the game. 🤷♂️
How did richards out score macrae on half the came time, is richards bad I stopped watching
Richards was concussion.
And Macca has peaheart-itis
I’m going butters into dawson
I’m going Daicos into butters.. Worrier Zorko will get a hard tag
Sheezel gonna play half back we reckon? Or head forward again?
OK Calvin. You sold it to me!
I had Serong as VC and Butters as Captain.
Am hoping you’re right about Zorko, who is now my El Capitano.
Hope Zorko’s ankle is OK
Living life on the edge!
Dayne is always only a heartbeat away from pinging his calf at any given moment!
Oh dear. Well it didn’t matter anyway in the end.
Marshall is currently getting spanked like a naughty grandma.
On track for a monster round…in the top 100 and brought in Marshall with the C….I hate this game.
How do you got from a 180 to 12 at half time.
Swapped Marshall to Gawn as captain before the game. Currently ranked and still in top 100
I took RoMo :(
