All the best ShaunDuggan

Keeping my fingers crossed your team doesn't put up a similar score to last week, if not it'll be game over for my lot!

Best of luck to yourself as well, you have a lot more quality so I'm tipping they will all smash it this week

Noble and Grundy VS Rockliff, Dixon and Pendlebury, I think Geelong has a lead of 68, will go down to the wire.

 

[GeeCat]

Noble and Grundy VS Rockliff, Dixon and Pendlebury, I think Geelong has a lead of 68, will go down to the wire.

Have to admit, 2 v 3 doesn't bode well for me. Probably needed a much bigger lead heading into the final game day.

Fully expecting the Fantasy Pig Rockliff to remove all suspense and kill this match-up off with a score of 120+!

 

[fightingfury_88]

Noble and Grundy VS Rockliff, Dixon and Pendlebury, I think Geelong has a lead of 68, will go down to the wire.

Yup, it's a close one! Have been tracking the scores most of the week.

A big 110+ score from one of Grundy or Rockliff could be the difference between winning and losing.

 

[ShaunDuggan]

Dixon will either score 90 or 20, Pig and Pendles are 2 handy guys to have up my sleeve though, but Grundy is well overdue for a big one.

Good luck.

Grand Final BOG awarded to Lachie Whitfield of Geelong for his score of 113.

Congratulations to our AFLTM 2020 Premiership coach ShaunDuggan of the St Kilda Titans!

Commiserations to our runner up GeeCat but well done on another fantastic season.

 

[GeeCat]

Congratulations ShaunDuggan, well played. St Kilda delivered when it mattered most by producing the two highest scores of the finals, so you can’t argue that this wasn’t well deserved!

Kicking myself that I went with Battle over Lever after umming and ahhing over it until the last minute. Becoming a bit all too much like the real Geelong of recent years who can’t quite get over the final hump!

Thanks again to fightingfury_88 for managing a crazy, but ultimately successful season. Looking forward to the off-season!

 

[ShaunDuggan]

Thanks GeeCat , you looked like you had it after that first half, I'm lucky Titans stalwart Pendles and the Pig Rockliff came up big.

Finally snared one after 10 seasons.

Thanks fightingfury_88 for the hard work put into it all, this year has certainly had its challenges but you have done a great job.

Now the real stuff begins, best part of the year

 

[sausageroll]

Wow! Close finish.

Congrats ShaunDuggan. Gotta do well to beat GeeCat at any point in time. Well deserved.

 

[Pie 4 Life]

Well done ShaunDuggan deserving winner and of course GeeCat for being the standout team most of the year. Certainly the benchmark for a long time.

Most of all well done to fightingfury_88 for running a competition that was incredibly difficult to organise, monitor and keep everyone honest.

Duggan!
