[Dinsdale]

Okay, so this is the list of teams you have selected so you can keep track - i will post this every week updated for your reference.

First things first, the Jokers - in red at the first column, you will see the Jokers you have remaining - the top six people have all used a Joker round one therefore are down to 2; everyone else has one.

Next you will see X's in certain columns - this denotes a team you cannot pick due to having picked their opponent the previous week. For example, all ten people who selected Adelaide cannot pick the team playing Carlton this week - Essendon. So there is an X in that column to show you cannot pick that team.

Finally, down the bottom, you'll notice a space for random.org. This is the default amount you get should you A) submit an invalid entrant or B) fail to submit your entrant to me by the Friday night. For instance, this week it is GWS meaning if you do not submit a tip or change an invalid one, you will be assigned this team for this week. If for any reason you pull out for the rest of the season, you will be assigned all the random.org tips.

I will send out reminders for everyone from Thursday if you haven't yet picked a team and also if you choose someone who is invalid i will let you know (like I said, I'm doing all the work, you just have to pick whoever). random.org has already been pre-selected (spoiler alert, their "premier" is hilarious) but won't be revealed until the start of each new round. If for reasons stated above you cannot select that team, it will revert to the next team in ALPHABETICAL ORDER.

To make it easier, here is the list of games for this week to choose from:

Hawthorn v Sydney - MCG
Giants v West Coast - Spotless
Carlton v Essendon - MCG
Gold Coast v Melbourne - Gabba
Port Adelaide v Adelaide - Adelaide Oval
Bulldogs v Brisbane - Etihad
Fremantle v St Kilda - Perth Stadium
North melbourne v Richmond - Etihad
Collingwood v Geelong - MCG

that X is a good idea...might steal it for my Hawfs MM comp...

 

[Dinsdale]

Ineligible sorry. Your opponent this week was Brisbane who play the Bulldogs - can't choose same opponent two weeks running.

yep, edited, just not quite ninja enough...

Ahoy. Can i change to bulldogs please?

 

[Freofalcon]

OES

Dogs please

 

[LiterallyNobody]

Ahoy. Can i change to bulldogs please?

Noted.

Here is what I have so far:



Still need Chaisa hufus Morganashlee and Smeg Head to pick a team - failure to pick a team by 7:50PM AEST tonight will result in receiving the random.org pic of GWS - who are at home to an undermanned West Coast side FYI. So not a safe bet.

 

[Chaisa]

Let's go Fremantle.

 

[Smeg Head]

Fremantle thanks OES

 

[hufus]

Bombres please OES

 

[DroopStDanny]

R7 R8


R9

Ha. I put GC down for the win in both my tipping comps. Good thing I didn't think too hard about this.

Port please

You beauty!

 

[raskolnikov]

Adelaide this week please.

 

[iluvparis]

[Agent93]

I'll go Hawthorn.

Lots of close margins this week (or not so big ones) means not a great deal of change in the ladder though we have a clear leader in Chaisa with 140 points so far after a solid thirty points to go with his 110 from round seven. However performer of the week was definitely Agent93 with his selection of melbourne earning him 69 points, 9 more than any of the two people who went the joker on Freo received (which really only saved them from scoring under fifty with Freo).

Unfortunately, three people scored the miss of the week though with only a 13 points loss, they didn't lose too many points however all three of them see themselves in the negative with Dinsdale in bottom spot with -6. Early days yet though and plenty of time to come back.

Agent93 and RU_ were the two biggest movers of the week, with RU in particular impressive as he jumped from bottom spot and negative points up to a healthy 53.

ROUND 9


Adelaide v Western Bulldogs, Adelaide Oval


North Melbourne v GWS Giants, Blundstone Arena — Hobart

Gold Coast Suns v Port Adelaide, Adelaide Arena — Shanghai

Essendon v Geelong, MCG

Sydney Swans v Fremantle, SCG

St Kilda v Collingwood, Etihad Stadium


Carlton v Melbourne, MCG

Brisbane Lions v Hawthorn, Gabba

West Coast Eagles v Richmond, Perth Stadium




Couple of things you will notice - random.org is on Melbourne this week yet three of you cannot pick Melbourne due to being eligible and two more cannot pick due to having already picked them - if you do not get your tips in, your default will be reverted to the next in alphabetical order that is available - in this case for all of you, that is North Melbourne.

As always, picks are due in by the bounce of first game this week.

I'll be selecting Port this week - a few good looking picks but I think Port are most likely to get a decent win.
