2025 - GWS Board Goalkicker Knockout Competition

[Orangeutan]

Sure, that seems reasonable.

Also, no-one can now claim a player that an existing poster has within his two. If you relinquish a player, though, he is fair game for another poster to claim.

Colonial and Orangeutan - do you also want to swap Jones out for someone who's playing this week?

Please swap for Riccardi

 

[Giant Strides]

Colonial, any change for Jones ... last chance?

Colonial: Greene, Jones

Barry Aglett / Orangeutan: Cadman, Riccardi

Orange Crush: Stringer, Greene

 

[Giant Strides]

Well, who didn't kick a goal today?

Oh, that's right, Jones didn't.

Greene, Cadman, Riccardi & Stringer all goaled.

Still that sees us as:

Colonial: Greene, Jones

Barry Aglett / Orangeutan: Cadman, Riccardi

Orange Crush: Stringer, Greene

All survive. All onto next round. Stringer will likely need replacing, Orange crush. Watch on Jones, see if he returns.

Forgot to replace Jake last week, so give me Cogs …. He should get a run soon

 

[Giant Strides]

Don't get cocky ...

 

[Orange crush]

Don't get cocky ...

Sooner we drop out the sooner this thread goes to bed

 

[Orange crush]

Sooner we drop out the sooner this thread goes to bed

Ffs cogs out for 4 weeks again …. Callum Brown

 

[Orangeutan]

Please swap me back to my original pairing of:
Cadman, Jones

 

[Giant Strides]

Round 11

GOALS: Hogan 4, Brown 3, Riccardi 3, Greene 3, Cadman 2, Ward, Briggs

Colonial: Greene, Jones

Barry Aglett / Orangeutan: Cadman, Jones

Orange Crush: Brown, Greene

So, again, everyone rolls on.

I am going to set a countback system up to determine a winner. The usual knockout system will be retained - so we can have a winner sooner if 2 participants' players both don't goal. But alongside that, I'll count 2 points per primary player that scores and 1 point for the secondary player who scores ... aggregating that over the next 3 games, to determine the countback winner.

(If somehow two or three players are tied, we'll keep going with the countback approach until we get a winner.)

e.g. If we counted today (which we aren't, this is just an example), then:

• Colonial would get 2 points for Greene
• Orangeutan would get 2 points for Cadman
• Orange crush would get 3 points for Brown & Greene.

Just confirming Toby is my primary

 

[Giant Strides]

Just confirming Toby is my primary

OK.

 

[Giant Strides]

Just a reminder, we're starting the countback system with today's game (2 pts primary kicker, 1 pt secondary kicker), alongside the standard of one of your two kickers must kick a goal to stay in the competition.

Colonial : Greene, Jones

Barry Aglett / Orangeutan : Cadman, Jones

Orange crush : Greene, Brown

 

[Giant Strides]

Round 12

GOALS: Brown 3, Riccardi 2, Cadman 2, Green, Angove, Greene, Briggs, McMullin

Colonial : Greene, Jones

Barry Aglett / Orangeutan : Cadman, Jones

Orange crush : Greene, Brown

So, everyone gets through. Countback points for week 1 are:

• Orange Crush: 3
• Colonial / Orangeutan: 2 each

 

[Giant Strides]

Round 13

GOALS: Riccardi 2, Hogan 2, Thomas, Jones, Cadman

Colonial : Greene, Jones

Barry Aglett / Orangeutan : Cadman, Jones

Orange crush : Greene, Brown

So, Orange crush crashes out on the back of no Greene & no Brown goals. Costly miss by Brown!!

Countback points & cumulative countback points for & after week two:

Colonial : 1 / 3

Orangeutan : 2 / 4

Orangeutan takes a 1-point countback lead into next week!

 

[Orange crush]

Best of luck to the final 2 ... brown is dead me ... htf did he miss that!!!

And big thanks to Giant Strides for running this

 

[Giant Strides]

Brown is dead me ... htf did he miss that!!!

Yep, bad miss for a simple kick.

 

[Giant Strides]

Last week of the countback - there will be a winner at the end of today's match (hopefully).

Colonial - with Greene out, you need to nominate a replacement primary player (or move Jones to primary & nominate a secondary player). Just cannot be Hogan (not that he's a sure thing at the moment!).

 

[Giant Strides]

Round 14

GOALS: Hogan 6, Cadman 5, Brown 3, O'Halloran, Jones, Himmelberg

Colonial : Greene, Jones

Barry Aglett / Orangeutan : Cadman, Jones

OK, so countback (previously + this week = total):

Colonial : 3 + 1 = 4

Orangeutan : 4 + 3 = 7

(Even if I made Jones as primary player for Colonial, Orangeutan would still win.)

So, congratulations Orangeutan - you WIN this year's goalkicking competition! I'll arrange for your "boot" to be added to your profile.

 

[Orangeutan]
