Round 7 recap: Well Ablett responded to the “will he, won’t he??” and returned with a solid but slightly disappointing (by Ablett standards) 125 SC points from 33 disposals. Despite all the talk about him playing in the forward line, he only managed one behind. I was a lot more happy with my smoky pick [...]

Round 6 recap: Tough decision last week with Ablett missing his second game. My choice was “perma-captain in waiting” Pendlebury who didn’t disappoint with a 145. My second choice Swan was a disappointment with only 112 whilst my third choice of Selwood didn’t even get onto the park. I guessed that there would be no [...]

Round 5 recap: A couple of weeks ago I was thinking how easy this job was: Ablett, our perma-captain was back. Lock him in every week. Flip a coin for your vice captain and sit back and watch Ablett knock out a score over 130. Unfortunately for most of us, and football in general, he [...]

Round 3 recap: Ablett. What more can I say. Ablett. After his huge 182 SC points from 45 disposals last week (despite being tagged by Howlett and Hocking and even being manned up by Stanton at stages), the only question is how quickly can we all click the “C” to make him captain (or how [...]

Round 2 recap: Ablett and Pendlebury were my second and third choices last week (behind a disappointing Dal Santo). Both of these players did not disappoint with solid scores of 143 and 127 respectively. My second choice for the captain’s loophole was even better as Judd smashed out a 150. I was also happy with [...]

Round 1 recap: Ablett was my choice last week (and I am thinking that the masses did the same) and he didn’t disappoint with a very solid 139. My second choice was Cox who only managed 110 against the Bulldogs which would have disappointed many after his mammoth scores of 213 and 149 against them [...]

I am sure that everyone is busily finalising their teams at the moment but consideration needs to be given to our captain’s choice for the weekend. This is especially so because the lockout loophole did not provide any joy last weekend with Mumford and Goodes both having underwhelming games with scores of 95 and 90 [...]

The choice of captains in Supercoach became a difficult exercise during 2010 and moreso last season. Gone were the days of everyone picking Gary Ablett Jnr in their Supercoach team at the start of the season and everyone locking him in as captain every single week.

Well Grand Final week is upon us. General soreness (well actually “rested”) has struck down a lot of Hawks. This is a bit of a pity for Buddy owners who may have been tempted to take a punt on him against the Suns. The stats below point to one player standing out as the best [...]
