Al Paton's Top 5 Captains | SuperCoach AFL Finals: Week 2

But let's get into the captain's corner, my top picks for the sea and the VC this weekend, counting down from number five.

Now, no Nick Dacos, no Max Gorn.

We'll see you guys next year.

No Melbourne or Collingwood players, obviously.

Delete all of those guys and trade in a brand new team this week.

But these are the names we should be looking at.

At number five, I've got Luke Jackson.

Now, he was the number two scorer for total points in Supercoach this year.

Had a fantastic season and was just humming along in the second half of the year, but then really went to another gear Another level in the last three rounds, averaging 129 points.

Now, he's coming up against Hawthorne and Lloyd Meek, who's actually a pretty hard ruckman to score against, generally in Supercoach.

But if we think about the last time these two teams met this season, Luke Jackson was phenomenal in that game.

Just took over in the last quarter, had a match-winning smother, laid 10 tackles, scored 141 points.

So that's the kind of performance we want to kick off week two of the finals.

At number four, I've got Will Ashcroft, Mr. September himself.

He actually averages 14 more Supercoach points in finals compared to home and away games in his career.

So this is what he really cares about.

His five-round average coming into the finals is 119.

So add 14 on top of that, and that would be a very nice score for us.

this weekend and number three Errol Goulden in that same game just one of the hottest players in the comp five round average 139 so can't argue uh with that kind of form it's his midfield now playing at the SCG in front of a home crowd and Brisbane not the hardest matchup at least when it comes to finals teams in the midfield he scored 112 against them earlier in the season so we love Errol and of course we can pick him as a forward in Supercoach finals which is an absolute gift we'll be monitoring his midfield time hopefully we can get him as a DPP next year as well Now, well, coming back to what we need to care about at the moment is Supercoach Finals and Marcus Bonsampelli is my number two captain choice.

134 points, which was the best score in wildcard round.

And it could have even been higher.

He missed a couple of shots of goal that he would normally gobble up.

His record against the Crows also is fantastic.

In fact, over his entire career, they are his second favourite team to score against behind only Richmond, who are not featuring in the finals this year.

But yeah, he's fantastic.
