🏴‍☠️ THANKS LEGENDS 🙏

For the last time this season – welcome back to Calvin’s Captains. This article has been something I have done for years and years. I’d like to thank the legends who pop in here each and every week to check out my list and a special shout out to the legends at Patreon for the pint you grab us each month. If you’re not in the gang, consider joining the fun in 2027.

As for now – it’s time to find a captain for the final time this year – thanks again, the pirate is signing off for 2026.

Max Gawn –  Against Rory Lobb? Yes please! Gawn had 108 last week but isn’t hitting the big captain scores we seek – with just 1×115+ in his last nine games.

Lachie Whitfield – Dominates Adelaide with recent scores of 143, 160 and 101. His record at AO is even better!

Matt Rowell – Didn’t back up his 182… only managed 85 last week. Did have 130 on the Saints last year.

Nick Daicos – Brisbane are #3 hardest for MIDs and recent score against them are 90, 92 and 131 – 0x120 in his last 7gms.

Dayne Zorko – Loves the MCG with previous score of 116, 131 and 130. In Zorko’s last two games against the Pies he has posted 116 and 131.

Max Hall – It’s what the VC is for! Coming off 161, many will go Hill – you coyuld go Max.

Luke Jackson – Could be big this week against Pitto if he’s not rested. Scored 122 last week and 135 against Carlton earlier this year.

Lachie Ash – 136 last week, but he was coming off 63 and 86. Had 118 in this game last year.

Check out those apples – this pirate is something special!!
