PIEMAN RESULTS Round 0 (Opening Round) v Brisbane

WB 16.15 111 defeated Brisbane 15.16 106
WB Goals: Bontempelli (3), Darcy (2), Richards (2), Naughton (2), English (2), Budarick, Bramble, West, Williams, Davidson

What a great way to kick off the season. An away against the reigning premiers. And coming from 26 points down too.

For the Pieman it was also a good start. Ten different goalkickers. 42 contestants. No chumps but we did have a couple of mini-chumps.

Pieman Substitutes, Carryovers, Most Popular Picks

There were no Pieman substitutes needed. I'm hoping there won't be so many this year after the AFL moved to have five on the bench and no medical substitute.

There were of course no carryover teams because there was nothing to carry over from. They will start next week.

However there were random teams generated as a concession to two contestants who nominated to play in 2026 but failed to submit a team for this week. They were lateniter and X_box_X who registered 40 points and 14 points respectively. Not great but not the worst either. At least it gets them on the board for 2026.




The KELVIN
Back to his mercurial ways Charlie Bucket has snared the first Kelvin of the year with his 3x English and 2x Richards for a great score of 240. A surprised second was RandomDog (183) who got one of the first mini-chumps of this year's comp, earning him 16 bonus pts. In third was Floridog (170) who tied with Struggle (170). Floridog also got a mini-chump - worth 15 pts.

We still haven't settled on a snappy name yet despite Floridog himself offering up one of the suggestions (Thanks, Floridog!) So it continues to be called a mini-chump for the time being.

It was a tough initiation for first-timer Viva_Loca who was one of only two to register a bagel this week. Don't worry mate, we have all been there. It can only get better from here! Fortunately you have the Doggies win to celebrate instead.

The Kelvin scores below are also the progressive season scores. So Charlie B is our early Pieman leader from RandomDog.




Pieman Player of the Week
The (almost) unloved Budarick was our PPotW. He got 64 for his unlikely goal. grassman75 was the only one who showed him any love. Tim English's late heroics helped him into second spot just ahead of Bontempelli.

 

[grassman75]

The moral of all morals was Buderick. I’ve never picked one of these big odds guys this early but seeing him in the match sim and knowing he played forward for GC last year I thought he was a huge chance. Gambled responsibly too.

 

[grassman75]

Budarick pick paying off

An inspired selection if I must say so myself - you don’t know how close I was to going 3 x him to either smash the comp in round 1 or be rotting at the bottom

 

[Viva_Loca]

Oh the shame, lol. I promise to do better next time

Thanks for getting me on the board, mate.
Completely forgot about it.

Thanks for getting me on the board, mate.
Completely forgot about it.

No problem.

Well actually, yes, there is a problem. Your random team scored 26 points more than my carefully considered one!

 

[Zeno The Great]

Sorry dog watch haven't been on for a long time. Can I join from next Rd?

 

[Floridog]

Huge shout out to Bailey Williams for going through all that trouble to get me my mini chump!

 

[dogwatch]

Sorry dog watch haven't been on for a long time. Can I join from next Rd?

Yes no problem Zeno.
As stipulated in the rules I can generate you a random team for Rd 0, even after it has been played. It's designed for situations like this where someone forgot to enter in time, just so you're not starting from too far behind scratch.

Random teams generated after the game has been played can't win the Kelvin for that round, but hopefully they'll get you a few points to keep you in the game. They max out at 90% of the Kelvin winners score. In this case that's no great problem. If you got 90% of Charlie B's 240 you'd be running second in the comp! (But don't get your hopes up ... you could also get a bagel!)

I'll generate it shortly and post your score. Stand by ...

 

[dogwatch]

Huge shout out to Bailey Williams for going through all that trouble to get me my mini chump!

Curiously, RandomDog said exactly the same thing!

 

[dogwatch]

You did very well with the random team Zeno The Great ... you got Croft (0), Budarick (64), O'Donnell (0), Naughton (14) and Richards (42) for a total score of 120. That has you running 8th in the comp!

Just don't tell any of the others, OK?

I won't bother re-posting the Kelvin table for this week, but rest assured you are in.

I wonder if I'd do better if I let dogwatch generate a team for me each week...

Suggest you have a chat with RandomDog. He's been there for the long haul.

If you throw enough darts in the general direction of the board you'll occasionally get a bull's eye. But it takes a lot of darts!
