Each week we’ll look at captain options outside the big boys as there is only one Brodie Grundy in each league. So, we are going to look at the underbelly of the weekly contests that hopefully can unearth some unique skipper options, including those in the loop hole games. Some will be risky but that could be the difference of you getting your league win and stay in the hunt for finals action this year.
Sorry just a quickfire skippers this week as I have just returned to a very warm Hobart!
Captain Loophole
Well Hobart is warm compared to the home of Friday night footy this week; one would think there maybe a few more hugs in the game. Four points for owners, warmth for players, it’s a win-win.
Plenty of options available for this game, Greene will continue to be a f@&king GUN, William’s form will continue in the midfield and all owners hope that Timmy T likes the cold. For the hawks the main to are Worps and JOM. If you are playing finals just select any Hawk or Giant for your vice-captain and hopefully you can start the weekend with a bag.
