Captains 2024 Round 9 VC/C

[Scythe94]

My captain average score so far this year is 132.4

2 scores in the 160s
3 scores between 125 and 138
3 scores between 110 and 113

Overall it's fine, but the 110s bloody hurt

Here's mine – interestingly, all three scores under 135 have been when I've had to use the 'C', and all three were my nightmare rounds lol.

Round	Player	C or VC	Score	Rolling Average
1	Daicos	VC	135	135
2	Gawn	C	113	124
3	Gawn	VC	177	141.7
4	Heeney	VC	165	147.5
5	Gawn	VC	138	145.6
6	Heeney	C	98	137.7
7	Gawn	VC	162	141.1
8	Gawn	C	111	137.4

FWIW, I'm doing Bont into Naicos this week. Maxy has smoked Pittonet a few times in the past, but playing against two younger rucks while coming off a five-day break is tough.

Just checked and I'm averaging 145.7 for my captains scores this year

Carlton vs Rucks:

R0 Omac 77 (avg 81.7) -4
R1 Nank 137 (avg 102) +35
R3 Xerri 90 (avg 111) -21
R4 Jackson 91 (avg 100... he was solo ruck this game and still did average) -9
R5 ROB 99 (avg 82) +17
R6 Briggs 87 (avg 88) -1
R7 Stanley 54 (avg 67) -13
R8 Cameron 86 (avg 89) -3

Basically you're getting on average, an average score for a ruck vs Carlton.
Gawn vs Carlton historically averages -11 points below average vs Carlton and -1 below average at the MCG.
Factoring in all I'd be expecting Gawn to go, on average ~110-130.
Worth rolling the dice on as VC for sure.

Captain the more interesting one like usual.

I will be targeting Bont vs Richmond, like I did with Serong vs Richmond last week.

Richmond vs premo mids

Round 0: Rowell 137, Anderson 122, Touk 116
Round 1: Cripps 135
Round 2: Butters 175, Drew 144, Rozee 90
Round 3: Heeney 148, Gulden 73
Round 4: Steele 142
Round 5: Yeo 157, Kelly 129
Round 7: Petracca 93, Oliver 82 (both massively down on form)
Round 8: Serong 137, Young 130, Brayshaw 107.

I like the format, here's mine:

Round	Player	C or VC	Score	Rolling Average
1​	Bontempelli	C	126​	126​
2​	Bontempelli	C	136​	131​
3​	Gawn	VC	177​	146.3333333​
4​	Heeney	C	165​	151​
5​	Gawn	VC	138​	148.4​
6​	Bontempelli	VC	125​	144.5​
7​	Gawn	VC	162​	147​
8​	Serong	C	137​	145.75​

 

[SavDog23]

After RD7 my VC/C was averaging 151.

Then Rowell came along and shat out a 65 as my C, dropping that average to 140.

152, 138, 177, 165, 138, 126, 162, 65.

I'm undecided what combo I want to do this week. Gawn is always an option for VC, Rowell/Touk should go big against North but after last week I'm scarred, Bont vs Tiges and Daicos vs Eagles should be safe for a good score.

Might go Rowell/Touk into Daicos.

7​	Gawn	VC	162​	147​
8​	Serong	C	137​	145.75​

mine are exactly the same until r8 when I captained Rowell

 

[JuddgementDay]

I don't have enough incentives to put up my list - let's just say, I'm a few hundred points behind due to bad choices in VC/ C - the life of a Gawnless coach

 

[SC fish]

Am thinking I'll pass on VC Gawn or Oliver given the five day break.

Might go VC Serong at home v Sydney.

C Bontempelli or Flanders or Naicos

Yep, been burnt by not noticing the 5 day break before.
It’s just risky in head to head, as you know everyone’s going Gawn, so could just cancel it out.

 

[AFDogs]

I'm thinking of going with Petracca just to make tonights game interesting. Otherwise no Walsh or Gawn. Might as well.

 

[Jiska]

Gawn put 185 on Pittonet/TdK in the preseason........

Gawn and Grundy kicked 3 goals each against Richmond and looked a massive Ruck/Forward combination in the presason..........

 

[Jiska]

Not touching Gawn this week - (C) was bad enough on Saturday night. Doesn’t have a good recent record against Carlton and I’d imagine their 2 rucks try and work him over.

Is this the recent record you're referring to?

 

[Lord De Goey]

Butters is tempting

 

[stevebbb]

I've decided on Bont into Naicos

Last time I faded Gawn he went 177, bloody hope that doesn't happen again

 

[Caztheconquerer]

Thinking something different like Flanders into bont, Flanders might rack up 40 against north in the seagull role

 

[SELFCONFESDAFLNERD]

Gawn into Sweet hopefully. Otherwise Bont or Serong

Yeah I was looking at Flanders too

 

[Exambolor]

VC Max
C Dunkley

 

[Kadog]

Bont>Naicos

 

[Lord De Goey]

Just realised since I’m looping Jones/Darcy at F6, I can’t use Livingston to captain loop (could force me into a bad Jones score)

just a heads up for anyone else in a similar position that has their loop in the forward line

yes same boat - and my other loop is Coffield

stops me from doing Bont into Naicos

 

[Lord De Goey]

I have Sexton and Reid at d7/8, I’m expecting Sexton to play but my defence is finished so I won’t be taking his score over a premo. Reid will get the C if need be

Good pick-up.

I have:
D6/D7 Clohesy and Howes E
F6/F7 Darcy and Jones E


Maybe I should VC Gawn tonight and I can use Sweet to take it...

You want me to explain what recent means? Or just being deliberately obtuse as usual?

Great work pointing that out – Gawn VC'ers can use Sweet, but it's an issue for players like me (who aren't planning on Gawn VC) running loops on three lines, haha.

 

[Caztheconquerer]

Yeah I was looking at Flanders too

Just realised gc and dogs play at the same time so that’s out
