Calvin's Captains

Calvin’s Captains – Rd. 7

Calvin’s Top-5 last week averaged 138 – yep, this pirate is killing ’em!

Argg me hearties and fellow legends – welcome back to the GREATEST advice in all the land. This rum drinking pirate hit some winners last week and as you can see by my top-5… I’m seeing them like beachballs…. which is nice for a chance. Hopefully this form can carry over to my team actaully putting some points on the park sometime soon.

🍺 PERTH – STRAP IN! 🍺

In 2026, Calvin, Roy and Warnie celebrate 20 seasons of DT Talk! To celebrate, they’re hitting the road for the ‘world tour’… maybe not the whole world, but they’re heading to some of the places they love for some fun shows. Get along – we’d love to see you there.

Just like the Adelaide show we did recently, this one is likely to sell out – so if you are up for a little fun, maybe a beer and a chat about Fantasy and the laughs we have had over the last 20 years – make sure you get along and I’ll see you there – thanks legends.

💥 IMPORTANT FINDINGS 💥

Obviously – when I do my top-10, I look over all of the guns. Here is some things I found along the way that might interest you.

Whitfield and Ash v Kangaroos – Unbelievably, the Roos are their worst team to score against and last year (in Canberra) they only managed 91 and 29. Yep, this was Ash’s game where he had that 29. Interesting how this plays out – Roos are tough to score against and also expect Simpkin to hang around Callaghan.

Butters – 34 and 46 against Geelong last year and Mullin will be an issue after he dominated Bont (28pts) last week. Some might trade away from this.

Same for me. And I’ve held Dev R in my team so I’ve got a non player to facilitate taking the VC score cause I reckon Naicos will go big!

Yeah. Baz vs Port – he will hit it out of the park.

I can’t see Cal’s 6-10th, but even if his 10th Captain pick gives 150+, Cal will claim he picked it.

I wish I had Daicos and Smith. If I did this round I would go Picket into Smith. Reason being Picket may be a little more unique and he has good chance of having a big one – I don’t think Tigers tag do they? Also I am not so certain Daicos does not get heavy attention from McGrath or Durham particularly after last weeks exhibition-he will still score well but not sure it will be super high. I can’t see any reason why Bailey Smith won’t score well- I don’t think Drew can keep up with him. They could try Bergman or Burgoyne but still think he goes pretty high and would be safe C if VC fails.

I’ve got Steele, Picket and Gawn from Melbourne. One of them for VC Vs Tigers. I’m really not so certain Gawn is clearly on top especially with Heath in the team now and I think Gawn tends to fire in harder team challenges where he takes defensive marks. However very much respect Calvin’s opinion and rationale. Gawn has greater average out of the 3 but all have high ceiling.

Any thoughts on this?
