With Ablett likely to be out for another big game against the Hawks, punters looking for value as their skipper this week have a few likely choices (and a few unlikely ones too). With ROK hitting some top form again, Pav, Pratt and Petrie scoring ridiculously highly, and Big Cox proving that hes the best ruckman in the league despite carrying a right foot thats as broken as buggery. I reckon theres some games this weekend that will lend themsleves to unaccountable, high possession football - which is a fantasy footy coachs dream. The Dogs and the Blues usually have pretty high scoring shootouts, the Cats and the Hawks should put on one hell of a show tomorrow night, and the Anzac Day rematch should be one to look out for too.

Ryan OKeefeHitting top form while
running circles around Waite last week, a cool 199 warmed the hearts of
those who had him as their skipper. With Big Bad Bashing Barry Hall
likely to be back this week against the Crows, ROK could be a good bet
to follow up the way that he left off last weekend. Having said that,
the Crows defence has been good this year, Stiffy and Bock being
standouts. Im hoping that Symes goes to ROK this week, and hopefully
plays a little wide of him, allowing another big score - having said
that, Craig may go the hard tag on him with McLeod maybe getting the
job. ROK has cracked the ton in 10 out of 16 games this year - not a
bad ratio - having said that - matches with the Crows has typically
been dour affairs with not many goals, and ROKs highest score being an
83 against them last year.Dean CoxRumours are that
he may do a Chad - play til the Derby comes up and then put the cue in
the rack for 08 - getting him right for pre-season 09. If thats the
case Ill be devastated, but his scores to date will probably mean
hell still finish the season as the years top ruckman. Saints this
week, locking horns with his old mate Gardiner. Cox has hit 4
consecutive tons in the last 4 games, good enough form for me - and has
a good track record against the Saints, averaging 22.5 possession and
over 30 hitouts against them in the last two years. An average of 118
(with a 125 last year at Subi vs Saints) against the Saints and I know
where my moneys on this weekNick Dal Santo/ReiwoldtIncluding
these two together as both have been major factors in the turnaround of
the Saints and both scored highly last weekend against the Hawks. Over
at Subi on the other hand its a mixed story. NDS has a massive 150 on
the board last time these two teams locked horns at Subi, but Roo had
tradionally struggled with a top score of 88 last year. Perhaps that
was due to Glass being all over him this year, and with his injury
problems Im tipping Roo will have a much better outing this weekend at
Subiaco. Roo had done much better against the Eagles in Melbourne, with
a 148 his best effort. Certainly not too risky to choose either of the
Nicks.Blockbuster FridayHad to include the big guns from the Hawks and Cats games, and to save space Ill run a few through quickly:Bartel, Chapman,

Having said all of the above, I still reckon the Blues Dogs game
will produce some big scores, so Im including in my calculations the
likes of Stevens, Waite, Judd, Aker, Cooney and Cross. Even consider the prime movers in the Anzac game - Stanton and Pendlebury. Hodge and Mitchell.
