There are some really good options to go with this week, and I could’ve listed them all but I would’ve been here all week writing this, and then you here all weekend reading it. Instead I’ve chosen the best options (and some smokeys) for you to consider to lead your team to greatness.
Personally, I think Patrick Cripps on the Saturday into Fyfe on the Sunday is the safest choice, but we all know that nothing is guaranteed in SuperCoach and some of you don’t like to rely on the last game of the round for your captain to come to the party. It also depends on what loopholes you have available, and how quickly you can activate them. (All things to consider.)
Anyway, without further ado. Captains.
Top VICE CAPTAIN Options –
Brodie Grundy
Thursday Night vs Richmond – AVG vs Team: 104.4
He didn’t have a great game last week, but his score was affected by 5 frees against, and going at 55% efficiency from his 18 disposals. On Thursday night he faces Richmond and with scores of 157 and 115 last time he came up against them, another score in this neighbourhood would create some good food for thought.
Rory Sloane
Friday Night vs Sydney – AVG vs Team: 113.4
Can he overcome a tag? It’s a question we’re all still asking ourselves. On Friday night against Sydney, there’s a chance he will be tested. There is a chance he could pass this test and score quite well for your team though. Those who did extensive research in the pre-season will know that he scored 140 last time he played the Swans in 2017.
Patrick Cripps
Saturday vs Port Adelaide – AVG vs Team: 117.0
Cripps lowest ever score against the Power is 108 and mostly scores in the 108 -115 range. His average against is boosted by a 136 which he produced against Port Adelaide in 2015. A good option but you’d have to be quick to activate this one if he’s who you go with.
VICE CAPTAIN Smokey –
Jake Lloyd
Friday Night vs Adelaide – AVG vs Team: 78.8
After a 131 in round one against the Bulldogs, he looks on track to again be a top 3 defender again. Loves to dispose of the ball by foot, and is becoming quite the ball magnet too. His careful disposal means his efficiency is usually elite. On the small ground at the SCG, he’ll likely see the ball quite a bit too even if Sydney are doing a number on the Crows up the other end.
TOP CAPTAIN Options –
Patrick Dangerfield
Saturday Night vs Melbourne – AVG vs Team: 93.8
Dangerfield loves playing at the Cattery. Scored 126 last time these two teams met there, and averaged 118.3 at GMHBA in 2018. A very good option for both Captaincy and Vice Captaincy, but it all depends on the loopholes you have available.
Lachie Neale
Sunday Early vs North Melbourne – AVG vs Team: 105.4
It’s been a while since Lachie Neale has scored a Captain worthy score against the Kangaroos. We have to travel all the way to 2015 when he scored 140, but he’s a big cog in that Brisbane engine room now and he’ll want to get his hands dirty to give the Lions the best chance of a 2-0 start.
Jack Macrae
Sunday vs Hawthorn – AVG vs Team: 93.8
Didn’t play the Hawks last year due to his mid year hamstring injury, but scored a 119 last time he played the Hawks in 2017. Scored 132 last week against Sydney, which is scary considering he was only going at 68% efficiency. Beast. Wouldn’t surprise me if Clarkson sends someone to tag him though, so potentially a risky option.
Nat Fyfe
Sunday Afternoon vs Gold Coast – AVG vs Team: 140.3
A fairly safe option this one with Fyfe averaging 145.2 from his last 5 encounters against the Suns. Lowest ever score against the Suns is 116 which he scored way, way back in 2011.
CAPTAIN Smokey –
Dyson Heppell
Saturday vs Gold Coast – AVG vs Team: 96.1
After last week, Heppell will want to lead his team to something better this week. Last time Heppell played the Saints he scored a 137, so if you think he can score anywhere near that again, you’d be a brave man to take a punt, but a genius if it pays off.
Not mentioned: Dustin Martin, Max Gawn, Stephen Coniglio

I’m running VC Cripps into C Fyfe, 160 inbound for Fyfey
JR_Damo · 28/03/2019 at 11:41
That's what I'm doing!
fcabel · 28/03/2019 at 11:45
Rocky into Fyfe 👊
Huzzah · 28/03/2019 at 11:45
Gawn into Fyfe for me. Will take 135+ from the big unit.
RoyWetard · 28/03/2019 at 11:52
Grundy into Rocky for me.
DavidC · 28/03/2019 at 12:03
Rocky into Macrae
Hefdawg · 28/03/2019 at 12:18
Is it worth keeping Collins as a loophole option as the suns have lots of Sunday games coming? Or better to get one of those cheap Saint def
Hefdawg · 28/03/2019 at 12:19
Btw Neale into Fyfe
ZzZCalintZzZ · 28/03/2019 at 12:31
If the rest of your rooks are peachy then not the worst idea
Teddy021 · 29/03/2019 at 13:44
Collins is named on field this week….
Brad · 28/03/2019 at 12:22
Grundy VC tossing up between Cripps, Mcrae or Neale as C. Grundy took Nank to town the last two times they met.
Binga · 28/03/2019 at 12:26
Grundy VC Fyfe C
ZzZCalintZzZ · 28/03/2019 at 12:29
MCrouch into Fyfe
Hoping Crouch goes 150 or more against the slow Sydney midfield
CalebCripps922 · 28/03/2019 at 12:30
I'm tossing up putting VC on Grundy
Scooter · 29/03/2019 at 16:16
Is 137 enough to loophole Grundy in? Or go with Fyfe?
Rivo · 28/03/2019 at 12:36
Cripps into Fyfe. Gather we could put the loop on Collins (GC) as he’s unlikely to play?
JR_Damo · 28/03/2019 at 13:37
Yep, but don't bank on it until teams are released tonight.
Binga · 28/03/2019 at 12:39
This isn't a captain suggestion but who should I start on field out of Parker and Setterfield??
Ja191 · 28/03/2019 at 13:45
Setterfield is the safer option
CalebCripps922 · 28/03/2019 at 14:26
setterfield
Ray · 28/03/2019 at 12:57
thoughts on treloar vc?
hedski · 28/03/2019 at 13:25
Cheers Damo, haven't decided yet, probably one of Grundy/Crouch into Macrae/Cogs.
Bit worried about Hutchings going to Cogs.
Mystic_Mac · 28/03/2019 at 13:34
Yeo into Fyfe
The Ranger · 28/03/2019 at 13:38
Not locking it in yet but I'm leaning toward Grundy into Fyfe.
It's a must win game for the Pies already, they wouldn't want to be 2 zip with West Coast away next week so surely the big fella steps up?
Curlyfries · 28/03/2019 at 17:33
Pies have the mighty eagles at home next week mate
JohnDJ59 · 28/03/2019 at 13:51
Cripps into Danger. If I had Fyfe it would be Cripps into Fyfe.
TommyC99 · 28/03/2019 at 13:57
I like Grundy as a but of a smokey but last week obviously worrying. And his strength being around the ground potentially nullified by Nank? Cripps the safe option for VC and had Macrae C locked in early but that team average is slightly worrying. Cripps/Crouch/Grundy into Danger for me
Lazza · 28/03/2019 at 13:57
MCrouch into Macrae .. (don't have Fyfe)
Seeker · 28/03/2019 at 13:58
If Sloane gets the tag, do you see Matt Crouch going large? From memory he doesn't have the greatest record against the Swans. Otherwise, Cripps into Fyfe…
Undypuncher · 28/03/2019 at 15:23
Crouch into fyfe for me
Tony · 28/03/2019 at 15:49
Macrae into Fyfe I think
kevwal · 28/03/2019 at 16:14
Cripps into Macrae, do not have Fyfe (he will go off big time….until rested in the second half)
TommyC99 · 28/03/2019 at 16:29
Grundy or Cripps VC?
DEE · 28/03/2019 at 17:31
I'm going with Grundy..
Josh · 28/03/2019 at 16:43
What do you think of Grundy into Lloyd? If not I'm thinking Grundy or Cripps into Danger.

Hey Lekkers …..WOW… great singing in the Congilio song… you have a great voice… and since when did you play for Richmond??? was that you lining up for goal last night???? coz it said Markov on the screen but it was you right???
Nick · 28/03/2019 at 22:20
What’s everyone’s thoughts are n Cogs as captain?
Fyfe Is Lyfe · 29/03/2019 at 00:53
Scientists in Helsinki conducting research into human genomes discovered that 90% of all Lyfe is made from Fyfe
Bob · 29/03/2019 at 01:38
It's time to start a petition calling for Fyfe's name to be legally changed to "Lyfe". Whether he wants that is irrelevant, we seek something bigger than mere desires and he shall be called "Lyfe".
Mark Fawcett · 29/03/2019 at 05:44
VC with Matty Crouch:)
kyle · 29/03/2019 at 13:46
has a pretty poor record against the swans only a high score of 91…
Adam · 29/03/2019 at 06:56
Cogs into Fyfe for me
nutsack · 29/03/2019 at 18:19
CONIGLIO
the first parts easy, its just CO 🤫

nutsack · 29/03/2019 at 18:21
