HT - Club Leaderboard
After (almost) half of the season gone, which club has the best IC Corps in the league?


Last time we looked, the best bench belonged to the Fighting Furies. That was true from R2 to R7, but it's not anymore. Danger in Texas and Gadzorks did enough damage this week to put the Gold City Royals on top.

The rest of the teams seem not to be far behind from the leaders, specially The Roys. The exception is the Bottom-2. They seem to be playing in a league of their own.

And they have been playing in it from the get go. In every round, but one, the Las Vegas Bears, have been in 11th. In their turn the Mount Buller Demons have always been in dead last. (Yes, Headless, you read it right.)

Truth be told, the last four haven't changed since R6.

The club leaderboard will be back after R12, at the season's 3QT.

ROUND 9

​

It's a H.I.T.! Its 9th episode, actually. We have passed the season's mid-point. After Round 9, there are only eight more left. The race was the tightest so far, with LicoriceAllsorts and Ned_Flanders denied entry right at the Top-3's gate. Ultimately, there were three returns: one, after 4 rounds absent among the best; another, who has maintained a 100% record; and an extremely familiar face. Still, who has won the round?



#3 - Edmund hunt (FUR)
Absolutely unstoppable. It doesn't matter opponent, position, weather, nor venue. Ed seems to always deliver. It's his 4th time in the HIT Top-3. This time, it was against the Gumbies, playing at HBF, under the clouds at The House. 8 minutes in, and hunt was already on the field, replacing Wacky Tiger at HBF and playing against wherearemykeys. He tried his best, but was unable to beat Keys. Still, his performance was good enough for a third place this week.

#2 - bone2468 (GUM)
Bone is back at the top, after Round 5, where he got it for the first time. He was first put at BP, but couldn't do much against Fury benchman Ned_Flanders. After a while, he was called up again to replace Grimesy87 at C. Bastyy was having a good day until then, but bone made sure that Tyy's influence in the second half would be minimal. His performance was so good, that it was enough to compensate for the bad start and earn him a second place this week.

#1 - Danger in Texas (GCR)
It was his second game on the bench. It is his second time in the Top-3. Last week, he played in the midfield. This time, he was put forward, in Ulahoopski's spot. DiT only played three quarters, and Tommycash may have had his moments, but no interchanger had stronger stats than Tex. The Royals beat the Bears in a fine afternoon at the Golden Throne, and DiT's 16 disposals, 2 goals, and 5 marks played an important part for that to happen. It also conferred him the award for R9 Best IC of The Week.

R9 - Leaderboard

His third place helped Edmund hunt to increase his lead over Maylandsman.

WaywardSonSon lost ground behind the Top-2, and now feels Headless' breath on the back of his neck. The Top-5 also counts with Ok Boomer, who comes in 5th.

toxic kept his 6th place, followed by now by TheCoach16 (7th) – who's only 1 point ahead of AngryRanga (8th). Fizzler has fell from 6th to 9th. Closing the Top-10 comes bone2468, who have quietly climbed up after every single round since he joined the Gumbies' bench.

Spoiler: R9 Ladder

Eight rounds to go. There is plenty to happen yet, but Edmund hunt's lead is quite baffling!

For my reckless abandon for the game and a tea bag opportunity.

ROUND 10

​

And here they come: the Round 10's best. All from the same match. Weather adjustment wasn't enough to take the spot from those who played in a fine weather, although LicoriceAllsorts and Spanna_ were awfully close. Gumbies' interchange tactics seem to begin to pay off, with a first-time Wonder completing this week's Top-3:

#3 - bone2468 (GUM)
It was a great day for the Gumbies' bench at the Colosseum. For the third time and the second consecutive week, Bone has made into the Top-3. This time he played roughly the same time as BP and as C. As a defender, in the first half, while the Wonders were the best team on the day, Bone managed to contain dogs105's influence on the scoreboard. In the second half, when the Gumbies mounted their comeback, Bone was in the very middle of the action, practically having a draw against Cadsky. Overall, Bone ended the match with 20 disposals, 5 marks, and 1 goal.

#2 - haydo (WON)
It was a tough call between haydo and this week's winner, but ultimately haydo fell short of the win. The Wonder captain (and former Rat) decided to put himself on the bench, and the decision seemed to have worked well. It's true, the Gumbies came back to win the game, but haydo did his part while trying to avoid that. Called early to replace ArdentEagle at R, haydo had to face his Gumby counterpart, Barrybran and did enough to beat him in their direct match-up – winning the HO count 19 to 11 and scoring twice as much as his opponent (2 behinds to 1).

#1 - Spuddd (GUM)
It took 20 seconds for Spuddd to come in for peterss at BP, but he was soon back on to the bench without seeing the ball. However, the Gumbies coach had more ambitious plans for him. So, in the 17th minute, Spuddd was on the field once again, taking GWS Goose's place at RR. SSwans2011 was having a field day over Goose, and it was up to the 3D Potato to end that. SS had found his match and more. Spuddd's 19 disposals, 9 tackles, and a goal – all while beating his direct opponent – have secured him the R10 IC of the Week title!

R10 - Leaderboard

Edmund hunt is now the "man of 1,000 points." His score of 89 points was exactly what he needed to be the first player to reach the mark. Maylandsman, for the fifth consecutive round, is in second – but now 237 points behind the leader.

Headless had closed the gap on WaywardSonSon last week and now has passed him to claim a spot in the season Top-3. Once again, Ok Boomer holds the 5th place.

However, bone2468 has jumped from 10th to 6th and is knocking at the Top-5's door. He is followed by LicoriceAllsorts, who returns to the Top-10 with only 5 games played on the bench.

toxic (8th) and Fizzler (9th) remain among the best, while ChappyUK, back on the bench after a long break, closes the Top-10.

Headless is SO GOOD.

 

[GremioPower]

CHANGES FOR R11

Last-round winner, Spuddd, has a great shot at making the Top-10.

Only 1 change this week: toxic (8th) is out, being replaced by Freofalcon (37th).

Tox had replaced Fref [sue me, etc.] in R4, who was 14th at the time.

toxic is R6 winner, in the only time a Warrior has figured in the Top-3.

He won't necessarily lose any position this week, but may fall down to 13th; with Fizzler, ChappyUK, Spuddd, Cold Sober, and Danger in Texas all having chance to overcome him.

ROUND 11

​

It's Round 11, and two names commonly seen here are once again in the top-3. Completing the list, there is a team commonly seen around here. The Sim works in mysterious ways, doesn't it? This time, two players almost made it: Gadzorks (GCR) and VSTone (BOM).

#3 - Sab22 (WON)
It's the 6th time that a Wonder makes into the Top-3. Sab22 is the 5th to achieve that. No team is above the Wonders in both categories. It was an active day for Sab, in a cloudy day at the Throne; but it wasn't a good one. Sab got in early for Crusty Undies at CHB, who was doing against CakeEater, and everything went downhill from there. The Wonders got smashed by the hosts; Sab, included. Still, all his effort (21 disposals, 6 marks) paid off a bit. After all, he has made into this week's HIT Top-3.

#2 - bone2468 (GUM)
It's also the 6th time that a Gumby makes into the Top-3. bone2468 is responsible for 4 of those. This is his third consecutive week among the week's best. He is the first player to achieve that. He hasn't won a round yet [the other 2 Gumbies did!], but he seems really close to achieve it. In R11, first, he replaced peterss at BP; then, he took Brick Loosener's spot at CHF. In both, he was better than his direct opponent, beating Barrels and Mooch in a muddy House. His 11 disposals, 2 marks, and 2 tackles helped the Gumbies winning at home.

#1 - WaywardSonSon (ROY)
The R11 winner is WaywardSonSon. Finally, after three third-places, WSS has done it. His team may have lost, but it was despite him. Replacing royboy2 at HBF, WSS spent the day battling against an SFA legend, beez. Still, the rookie ended up adjusting better to the mud. Beez couldn't do much. SonSon finished the game with 6 more disposals and 2 more marks than his goalless direct opponent. He also did enough to become R11's IC of the Week!

R11 - Leaderboard

Edmund hunt has lead in 7 of the 11 rounds played so far. Only once his lead has been reduced. Once again, the difference for the second place, Maylandsman, has increased. It is now in 270 points.

WaywardSonSon (3rd) and Headless (4th) are in a competition of their own. SonSon has regained the third place he had lost in the previous one.

Moreover, the Top5 has a new member: bone2468 (5th) – who keeps rising on the ladder week after week. Ok Boomer (6th) is out after 6 consecutive rounds.

In spite of a rare weak performance, LicoriceAllsorts has held his 7th spot. However, Fizzler (8th) has caught up with him.

Closing the Top-10, there are toxic, who didn't play, now at 9th; and ChappyUK coming once again in 10th.

Sab22 is 40th, after his third place.
