Seriously...is there any point of this blog this week?? I doubt it. If you have Ablett & Franklin - one of them as captain and you cant go wrong. If you only have one of the two, your choice is made for you. If you have neither - cash in a cow and get one, because it doesnt look like their form is going to drop off anytime soon or their prices decrease.

Having said all that - exlcuding Franklin or Ablett - Ill run through a quick list of your other options, and offer a few thoughts as to why Franklin or Ablett may not be the best selections this week.

Dean Cox

Eagles playing the Dons this week and a chance at being a bit of a
smoky. Struggled against the Dons last year with scores of 76 and 67
and may be too big a risk this week with the two guns in such good
form. Look elsewhere for your captain, this blogger says!

Adam Cooney

Dogs back at the G this week to play the in form Lions and Cooney
coming off a somewhat disappointing 82 last week. Scored 125 last year
against the Lions but the Bulldogs have only played once at the G this
year, and the Dogs have had mixed results at the G over the years so
that may be a bit of a factor. Definitely worth a look if you dont
have the big two.

Adam Goodes

The luckiest man in football these days scored a big 153 last week
despite the Eagles going for him at every opportunity...apparently.
Against the Saints he should be a big chance for a similar score - but
scored 49 when these two met in Round 1 this year. Having said that he
scored over 100 in a 3 Brownlow vote performance last year so make of
that what you will. In the form he is in (I think he has 7 consecutive
100+ games) I dont think hes that much of a risk to put in as captain
this week.

Jono Brown

Top form, and playing the Doggies who may be without full back Brian
Lake. A respectable 116 last week but has turned the corner in form and
with Bradshaw out it may bring him back into 2007 scoring form. Got a
71 in last years fixture against the Dogs but has a good average at
the MCG and could be a pick from left field this week - with Im
tipping 95% of punters going for the big two.

Players to look out for as well: J MacDonald from the Lions - good defender in good form; Judd,Scott Thompson, Jimmy Bartel.

Just Dont: Michael Johnson from the Dockers. Dont be fooled. Just dont. Please.
