Calvin's Captains

The pirate has dropped his best captains for round 12 – do you agree?

Tough weeek for the pirate this week after Grundy failed to save the day – Daicos and Merrett werre both great in the top-5…. as for the rest – not good. Anyway, this is not our first bump in the road so we dust ourselves off and we go again – Good luck everyone.

Not my best effort – but a few were nailed. Let’s hope we have heaps more this week.

🏴‍☠️ 1 – Brodie Grundy 80 ❄️
🏴‍☠️ 2 – Archie Roberts 106 🤏
🏴‍☠️ 3 – Zach Merrett 148 💥
🏴‍☠️ 4 – Nick Daicos 126 🔥
🏴‍☠️ 5 – Bailey Smith 97 🤏
🏴‍☠️ 6 – Harry Sheezel 121 🔥
🏴‍☠️ 7 – Marcus Bontempelli 107 🤏
🏴‍☠️ 8 – Dayne Zorko DNP 🤕
🏴‍☠️ 9 – Zak Butters 97 🤏
🏴‍☠️ 10 – Luke Jackson 93 ❄️

Keep your eye on Bailey Dale this week against the easiest team for Defenders to score against – Collingwood. He should have a day out against the Pies and recently we have seen similar players to Dale so with ease such as: Duggan 110, McCarthy 100… Blakey 146… Humphries 104… Amon 113 and Impey 105. He scored 106 last week – plus he had 93 and 123 in his lasttwo against the Magpies.
