Untaggable, unstoppable and un-selectable as captain - Gary Ablett. Scored 160s in consecutive weeks and is without peer in Supercoach stats. If you have him, youd probably have stopped reading by now. For those that dont, or are feeling a little speculative - trying to get the upper hand on the rest of their leagues when (if) Gaz does drop off Ill run through some other options to think about.

Joel Bowden

Huh? The bloke who was so far out of favour at the start of the
season and was heavily traded away has stormed back into SuperCoach form.
Second highest individual score this season and a return (hopefully) to
that floating, strolling, free running, unaccountable half back flanker
will prove SuperCoach gold for the latter half of the season. 223 last week and
Carlton to come this week - and 85 earlier this year when these two met
and a disappointing average of just less than 65 would lead this blog
to conclude that Bowden probably isnt your best bet this week. IMO all
it takes is for Carlton to have to make Bowden accountable and refuse
to allow him to play in front of Fevola and the 3rd man up all game and
his score will suffer. Definitely a speculative choice this week.

Adam Cooney

Never disappoints. Doggies head up to Darwin to take on the Power.
112 last time these two teams met up there and an overall average
against the Power of just over 80 leads him into calculations this
week. In the SuperCoach form hes currently in - Cooney is my best bet as your
VC this week - especially if youre going for a C thats playing in the
2nd half of the Round.

Brent Harvey

TooSerious pick as trade-in of the round last week didnt
disappoint, with a big score lodged against the Hawks. Averages 100+
against their opponents - the Saints this week. I reckon Boomer is in
with a big show this week, the Saints midfield is slow and struggling
for form at the moment - a big free flowing game from the Roos could
break the shackles of the tempo-playing Saints and could bring another
big score for Boomer. Another good choice for the VC badge this week.

Jonathon Brown

Every week I see people say that 'xx' is playing Melbourne and
therefore will score massive points, and week after week it doesnt
happen - well that was my theory until Barry scored 151 last
week against the Dees. With that as a guide, and definitive proof that
my theory was flawed - Im liking the look of Brown against the Dees -
especially considering its at the G - where Brown has scored well -
most recently a 112 against the Dogs. With 182 last time these two met
- Browns a big show.

Other selections I like: Riewoldt, Luke Power, Lloyd &amp; Hille
(both played two solid games in a row - and against the Dockers), and
Hodge/Mitchell.

At your own risk: Buddy. Burned me with an 18 last week and I havent forgiven him.

As a final note, everyone should make sure that they carefully
select their VC this week. You never know what can happen in a couple
of weeks, and especially if youre selecting anyone from Geelong,
Adelaide, Sydney or Collingwood - whore playing in the 2nd half of the
round.

Good luck!
