Just a side note:
When I started doing these counts on here back in 2010 - this was a really active topic with heaps of posters and opinions. That infamous Judd year seemed to scare a few off and it dropped off a little over the years. Each year I've kept posting my counts and always enjoyed the comparisons/the banter/the chat and the challenge this poses throughout the season for all of us. I never forget that first year when a couple of "big name" posters back in the day were really dismissive of my counts and one actually said "don't listen to newbies" blah blah blah....after that year's result he Swanned off rarely to be seen again .
Had been getting a bit concerned the last couple of years that interest had been dropping off and therefore less counts/opinions etc and pondered whether or not to start up the thread again this year. Really glad I did because much of the discussion and analysis this year is the best it has been in years. Not all of us agree on the counts/individual players/teams/games etc but that shows just how much interest so many are taking in it and more importantly - the time so many are taking to analyse games and give their opinions. Some of the spreadsheets and research this year are just fantastic to see.
Even if our opinions may differ - the one thing we are all looking to do is beat the bookies and really hope we can all make some good $ this year and make all of the research worthwhile. Many really deserve it for the work that has been put in by so many this year.
Cheers
