DHF Dream Team Captains – Round 7
May 7, 2009 by Jesse Penfold
Back again, late again, and no game by game comments again. They will be back next week. As always let’s check out last weeks results:
Gary Ablett (119.8 predicted, 90 scored)
Jimmy Bartel (114.8 predicted, 144 scored)
Peter Burgoyne (112.7 predicted, 68 scored)
Paul Chapman (110.5 predicted, 161 scored)
Very hit and miss this week, although GABLETT was hampered by the injury that has devastated and confused over half the DT coaches. The Burg had his random stinka, but let’s focus on Chappy and Bartel who finished with the no 1-2 scores of the weekend.
DHF’s captain average is now at 116 (based on the highest predicted scorer each week);
My personal captain average is at 119 (based on captain selected in my DT);
The GABLETT test: On hiatus for a while – this is where captain selections will start to get interesting!
