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. Yes some will be risky but
Gun – Elliot Yeo 2018 Average:AF 106.8 | 107.9 SC Probably the player getting the least respect this draft season, Elliot Yeo was one of the most dominant midfielders in the AFL in 2018. Fresh off flag success after playing his first year as a permanent midfielder (only once did Simpson revert to playing him
Gun – Jackson Macrae Not much needs to be said about Jack Macrae. The guy has been a fantasy stud since the start. In just his second year of AFL footy when most players a finding their feet, Macrae went on to average 100 in both forms of fantasy footy. As the 2nd highest averaging

Gun – James Sicily 2018 Avg: 95.5AF | 105SC I love when someone’s an absolute jet in both SC and AF, because it makes my job writing about them about 1000 times easier. That’s exactly what Sicdawg is. After starting his career in the forward half, yoda aka. Clarko threw him into defence and he
Gun – Jarrod Witts At 26 years old and 80 games into his career, he is in his prime of his and clearly in the top five Rucks in the competition and likely to remain in that space for the next 3-5 years. He also has the potential for growth and the return and fitness
