This is going to be a lightning edition given the fact that I am very pressed for time at the moment. To recap on Round 10, all I have to say is sorry to Ablett. Sorry for doubting the perma-captain. With many jumping off the perma-captain last week, he responded with a huge 155 from 53 disposals. Over the break are the numbers for Round 11 ...

Rd 10 2007: 57 SC points, 10 disposals, 3 goals, 3 behinds

Average is 83 SC points with 14 disposals with just over 3 goals.

Note: Poor record against Port Adelaide. Three scores over 100 but five scores under 100 with all those scores being 85 or under. Normally manned by Carlile. A great recent game against Port kicking 8 goals straight. Coming off an unbelievable game last week with 236 which had followed scores of 73 and 99.

My opinion: Ablett. That is all. How can I doubt the perma-captain again?

Following Ablett, I think that Swan will accumulate heaps of disposals in his return against Melbourne. After Swan, I would either look at Sandilands against Maric or one of the Saints playing Gold Coast.

My smoky pick this week is Franklin who, if he continues to kick straight, should score big against Port.

Good luck to all!!
