This will be a tricky week for captains… especially with the Monday game where we will find out teams on Sunday night, just before the Carlton v Essendon game. When teams drop, if Max Heath is named… this changes everything. Make sure you have everythign lined-up ready to go so you are making the right calls at the right time. Good luck legends!

❌ Freo #4 hardest for MIDs – tough!
Nick Daicos v Melbourne
Daicos does sit at No. 6 for me this week and Ed Langdon is the reason he sits this low. He scored 103 and 86 against the Demons last year and he copped the Langdon-tag on both occasions. Surely it happens again. Daicos has scored 6×120-plus in his last seven at the MCG and is flying at the moment with 109, 126 and 102 in his last three games. The tag is a concern – however, Langdon hasn’t tagged this year, but they have used Tholstrup. Either way… it’s happening!

Are we taking Baz’s 108 – or holding, and who for – Naicos, Roberts, Sheezel, Bont?
I’m leaning towards taking the 108!
I’m not taking Baz 108 unfortunately for me in my league match up my opponent had his on Dawson. I’m looking now at Roberts Naico or Gawn if he is solo ruck.
Johnny Noble for the smoky!
Going Gawn, Heath is lining up in the vfl tomorrow. Gawn should be solo.
Looking good at half time
Yer, good call that, 146!
