It's time now for the Captain's Corner, your best VC and C options this week in Supercoach finals.
My top five, counting down from number five, I've got Andrew Brayshaw playing on Friday night against the Swans.
He's scored over 100 in his past four games against them, including 121 the last time they met in round 18, which was Freo's top score in that game.
I think James Rowbottom might be given a tagging assignment, but I think it'll probably be to Caleb Sorong, so that will let Andrew Brayshaw off the chain.
Lachie, 79 and 65, not the scores we're after, but he does love playing Hawthorne based on his recent scores in the last two years, 155 against him earlier this year and 143 against the Hawks last year.
Now, obviously, could have had him clearly at number one with a five-round average of 136.
And we talked about... those crucial match pressure factor extra points when he took over the game in the third quarter so he's in red hot form the only worry here is that he's coming up against Brodie Grundy not an easy Ruckman to score against and in fact he hasn't reached 100 Supercoach points the last four times he's played the Sydney Swans so Slight question mark.
I'm definitely not going to leave him out of my team, but whether you put the C on him, that's a bit of a trickier call.
At number two, Will Ashcroft, we know final specialist, can smell another grand final, potentially another Norm Smith medal.
against the Crows, and he scored 132 against Hawthorne last time they played, and that was only about a month ago.
But at number one, captain for the week, Errol Goulden at the Swans, absolutely on fire, playing again at the SCG, which he loves.
