[Impromptu]

Score - 2,514 (weekly ranking 70)

Overall ranking - 320 (from 488)

Heroes - Fisher, Deledio, Duddy

Villains - Broughton and the usual suspects Petrie, Kosi

League Status - In major grand final for 2 of them and although 3rd most points, am in minor grand final for Too Serious League (ranked 3)..LOL

Injury concerns - If being sh1t was an injury then Kosi and Petrie

Trades - As if...LOL

Vent: None.....

Thoughts - Never get Kosi again

 

[Judd_Magic]

LOL @ above ^

Score - 2,279 (weekly ranking 9,290)

Overall ranking - 381 (from 405) Yay, I moved up the rankings at last.

Heroes - Fisher, Deledio, Duddy, Riewoldt, Pavlich, Judd, L.Anthony, Grima, Goddard, Ablett, Bartel, Selwood.

Villains - Broughton, C.Cornes, Newman, Dal Santo, O'Keefe, Macintosh, Rioli, J.Brown. Quite a few spudded it up this week for me. Dal Santo, ROK and Mcintosh hang your heads in shame.

League Status - In grand final for all 3 leagues and beat Le Grands Legends in Bigfooty Div 7, my sweetest victory ever in Supercoach history!

Injury concerns - Newman and Duddy if he gets rubbed out.

Trades - No trades, used my last one last week which was Mitch Brown > Rioli. Why oh why didn't I choose Porplizya or Davey instead? Stupid me.

Vent: Dal Santo for melting like butter when tagged. Seriously think I wont both with him next season, will try to just go with guys that never get tagged.

Thoughts - Fisher and Gilbee stepped up when needed. Hopefully Stevie J comes back next weeek but then I have the tough decision on who to make my forward emergency out of Stevie J, Rioli and J.Brown.

 

[Hot Tiges]

Score - 2330 (weekly ranking 4380)

Overall ranking - 552 (from 643)

Heroes - Fisher, Deledio, Franklin, Fev, Porpise, Judd, Goddard

Villains - Broughton, Nicky Dal, Higgins, H Mac and to a lesser extent Drummond..

League Status - 2/2 grand finals

Injury concerns - Newman and Riewoldt..

Trades - None left so hopefully Sammy Wright makes an appearence for Riewoldt..

Vent: Actually making the 2 trades of Drummond and Nicky Dal!!! Beams of course, scored more!!

Thoughts - Prey injuries to Newman and Riewoldt come good!!!

 

[Mazza44]

Score - 2347 (weekly ranking 3310)

Overall ranking - 9460

Heroes - Deledio, Franklin, Porps, Judd, Houlihan, Broughton (I don't have him but thank God he scored crap for once!)

Villains - H Mac, Hill, Pendlebery, Brown

League Status - 2/3 grand finals (not in the one that I really care about ****ing Broughton)

Injury concerns - Riewoldt

Trades - 1, no limping into the Granny for me!

Vent: Only two emergencies going at the moment, one scored 17 and the other 10, so heres hoping no ommissions this week!

Thoughts - Glad S Jay's price stayed high enough for me to get the Porps!

 

[jonoman89]

Score - 2365

Overall ranking - 2851

Heroes - Deledio, Franklin, Judd, Fisher, Goddard, Gibbs, Gablett, Power, Hodge

Villains - H Mac, Clark, Chapman, Drummond, NDS(!)

League Status - all out

Injury concerns - Chappy and Reiwoldt

Trades - 0

Vent: No trades and Chappy is done. There goes my rankings.

Thoughts - Really want to finish top 2000, but don't have a chance with Chappy out and 0 cover for him.

 

[WildRover]

Score - 2350

Overall ranking - 1

Heroes - GGGGIIIIIBBBBSSSSYYYY!!!!!

Villains - Fisher for scoring 149 whilst sittin on the pine. Where's that been all year you muppet!

League Status - GF in all including a shootout v Sheedy!

Injury concerns - Newman, H-Mac

Trades -

Vent: Oh Fisher, why oh why are you such a spud when on the field but so freakin awesome when on the bench?

Kudos: Well done to Levi Greenwood for shutting down NDS.

Thoughts- 158pts clear but still very very nervous. Another insipid display by Melbourne could see it all unravel fast for the Gonads. Dal Santo could score 700 against that rabble!

 

[Skystyler]

Score - a miserable 2117

Overall ranking - 287 (-90)

Heroes - Gaz, Selwood, Judd, Mundy, Lids, Buddy

Villains - the rest of my backline, Pendlebury, ROK, HMac, Didak

League Status - knocked out by a team that averages 300 less than mine

Injury concerns - Grimes, Dempsey, Cox

Trades - flushed away like used toilet paper

Vent: Choco Williams, how you still have a job is a mystery to us all. You continue to pick the same bunch of hacks week in, week out when Matthew Broadbent is clearly better than half of them. You and your crap team get exactly what they deserve.

Kudos: Munter Mundy for finally coming good. Why haven't you played like that all year?

and to Wildrover. Good luck next week, fella. You've got poll, just box him out

Thoughts- if you told me at the start of the year I'd be as high as 15 midseason and finish in the top 300 (99.9th percentile - not bad) I would have taken it. But I have wasted my opportunity with poor decisions down the stretch (in hindsight - they seemed like good ideas at the time).

 

[fridge21]

Good luck Wildrover, unbelievable effort to be winning a competition which is so hard and so competitive!!!

You going to be monitoring all the scores quarter by quarter or will you hide under a rock and hope for the best?

 

[WildRover]

i'll be keeping tabs on the scores in between dashes to the bog as i promptly begin to sh!t myself....

 

[HibSam]

Score - 2238

Overall ranking - 538

Heroes - Goddard, Hodge, GAJ, Montagna, Judd, J Selwood, Sandilands, Deledio, Buddy and Goodwin.

Villains - HMAC, Chapman, Broughton and ROK.

League Status - Into the GF (main league).

Injury concerns - Chapman and Grimes.

Trades - 1 left, might have to trade Chapman.

Vent: No complaints.

Kudos: To my midfield, all when over 100 except Pendles.

Thoughts- Aim for top 500 still possible.

 

[Felixes Felines]

Score - 2,097

Overall ranking - 91 (down from 59) and now only 31 pts inside top 100.

Heroes - Fisher, Duddy, Goddard, Judd, L.Anthony, Bartel.

Villains - So many of them but lets start with NDS, Chappy, ROK, Newman, Drummond, Pendles, Macintosh, J.Brown & Stevie J for sitting on his arse in the stand.

League Status - Beaten in both PF's. One by a team ranked 12,777 & the other by a team ranked 2,700. Pissed off.

Injury concerns - Chappy, Stevie J, Newman, Buddy if reported.

Trades - Nil

Vent: To the 9/12 unique players in my BF Div 4 game who did not make or even go close to their avg score - Thanks very much you SPUDS. A special mention to that soft c@ck NDS who cannot handle a tag by a 20 yr old and my Geelong boys Chappy & Stevie J - Never again will l go near you guys.

Thoughts - Only have 31 pts to play with now to stay inside the top 100. Don't like my chances with injuries etc.

 

[Hondo]

Score - 2282

Overall ranking - 431 (up 30 places)

Heroes - Goddard, GAJ, Montagna, Judd, J Selwood, Deledio, Buddy, Fev and Goodwin.

Villains - H-Mac, Broughton, Mackie, Pendles, Kruezer, J Brown.

League Status - Into the Grand final - beat a team with 5 rookies by only 89 points thanks to a host of my players under-performing.

Injury concerns - None I am aware of other than Newman's name coming up in this thread. Except for M Brown on my bench.

Trades - 1 left + $57K. If there's no injuries I'm not sure what I'll do with it. Maybe look at Riewoldt v Melbourne (and sack one of my other KPP forwards)

Vent: None. If my premiums want to take a week off like that then better they did it in the prelim final and not this week.

Kudos: Deledio and Goodwin won me my prelim final. Liam Anthony scoring all these 100s and hasn't played on the field for 6 weeks!

Thoughts- I am still an outside chance for the top 300. Wherever it ends up, I am happy with how I have gone with ranking and leagues so far.

 

[hellfire]

Score - 2438[from memory, weekly ranking 577]

Overall ranking - Around 10,000 [peaked too late, given that I've moved up about 15,000 in the last month or so . That's what happens when you have 9 trades left in round 15ish].

Heroes - Deledio, FISHER, Judd, Goodwin, Buddy, Garry, Goddard among others.

Villains - Broughton, Rioli [should have gone Porps for Stevie J instead], Pendlebury, McIntosh.

League Status - Grand finals in 2.

Injury concerns - None at this stage.

Trades - One to go.

Vent: The Rioli trade.

Kudos: Deledio, coming good after I was tempted early on to drop him.

Thoughts- Just want to win one of my league GFs, don't care about the other. Might make a Rich to Cooney trade if nobody is out.

 

[CaptainChardonnay]

Score - 2068....

Overall ranking - About 70k

Heroes - Judd, Bartel, Anthony, Goodwin, Pav, Franklin, Kornes, Roo

Villains - Broughton, Hill, HMac, Kruezer, Warra, Jurrah, - Between them they scored 262 = <44 each...

League Status - Gone in both... Missed one by 28 so the aforementioned spuds are really pissing me off.

Injury concerns -

Trades - None left so did ok there.

Vent: Hill, Jurrah & Wirra. 27, 26 & 37. 10 more points each and I was through.

Kudos: Just about every other player scored well. Newman was my lowest (Apart from the above) at 76.

Thoughts - So pissed that I missed by 28 in the league I wanted to win. Still, went to two prelims and a semi in the other league.

 

[fridge21]

i'll be keeping tabs on the scores in between dashes to the bog as i promptly begin to sh!t myself....

mate is there any way you would want to or you can contact the bloke coming second and do some sort of deal? to come second (it looks like a 2 horse race) and get $0 would be awful. Just had a quick look at your teams and there are quite a few different players and all it would take is 2 (maybe only one) key injury or 2 (possibly only 1) standout game from one of the uniques and the ground could be made up.

I would offer $10,000 now to him so you are guaranteed $40,000 but that is just me! (maybe you could negotiate?) If your on $200,000+ a year career wise then $50,000 might not be that big a deal but i reckon it's too much money to go all or nothing.

Good luck anyway!!

 

[psychobrown]

Score - 2079

Overall ranking - 253,432

Heroes - Bryce Gibbs, Lance Franklin, Simon Goodwin

Villains - n/a

League Status - Through to GF in spite of that awful score

Injury concerns - Chapman, Steve Johnson

Trades - 2

Vent: Scraped through by 10 points, so not too many complaints.

Kudos: Bernie Vince and Nick Maxwell for 100+ scores in my time of need (with star players failing).

Thoughts- Hope Chapman or S. Johnson both pull up okay so I can use my last 2 trades wisely. Also, I kind of hope I win. Over the last few months I've become quite fond of this silly game

 

[abs_of_STEELE]

Score - 2418

Overall ranking - 34th (46th last week)

Heroes - Lids, Fisher, Gibbs, Buddy, Sandi, God, Coon

Villains - Broughton (has been great this year though so I forgive him), Chad

League Status - In GF in all 3

Injury concerns - Chappy

Trades - None

Vent: Chappy

Kudos: Lids and Fisher for pulling out massive scores.

Thoughts- I'd like to stay in the top 50 so hopefully I have a good week.

[hess]

Score - 2159

Overall ranking - 327 (down 68)

Heroes - Franklin, Goodwin, Goddard

Villains - Newman, Chad, Dal Santo, ROK, JB... Broughton and Swan to lesser extent

Injury concerns - Riewoldt, Franklin, Newman.

Trades - 0

Vent: My team saved one of its worst efforts for this week. Almost lost to a team ranked 31000th overall. 50 point win over a team with a ruck division of Mumford and Blake

Kudos: Murphy, seriously good season.

Thoughts- Roll on 2010

 

[tbanger]

mate is there any way you would want to or you can contact the bloke coming second and do some sort of deal? to come second (it looks like a 2 horse race) and get $0 would be awful.

Good luck anyway!!

I think they've already organised for $5k to go to the runner-up.

 

[FBDonkey]

I think they've already organised for $5k to go to the runner-up.

This is true. I would have done the same thing in their position. Getting nothing for second would suck hardcore.

My SC week:

Score - 2144

Overall ranking - 45th (Down 8 spots)

Heroes - Goddard, Selwood, Ablett, Judd, Buddy (5 players everyone has). My only unique players to do well were Gibbs and Goodwin.

Villains - Newman, Broughton, Drummond, NDS, Pendles, Hmac, JBrown, Chapman, Higgins

League Status - I lost both my finals, so unbelievably i am not even in one SC grand final despite being ranked top 50 and designing most of my season around my league goals. Poor scores in the first and third weeks of the finals (first due to injuries, second due to poor performances from uniques) has cost me places in the GF.

Injury concerns - a lot of my uniques took knocks on the weekend. Newman, Roo, JB...

Trades - still have 2 left. they would not have saved me on the weekend if i had used them. have SJ, Chappy, Buddy up forward which may need fixing, and also Grimes up back.

Vent: How the fk do i not make the GF in any of my leagues!? The team i lost to in my $ league has only scored higher than me 4 times all year. I was the highest scoring team in my league last week, and then when it matters my team fell to pieces.

Kudos: are you flipping kidding? wat do i have to give thanks for?

Thoughts- SC has been great fun all year but i am now left with a bad taste in my mouth

 

[Judd_Magic]

Bad luck Mark (FBDonkey) I can imagine that would suck bigtime not making even one GF.

So many elements of luck in this stupid game, alot of preying to the SC Gods is required on a weekly basis.

 

[della]

Bad luck FB donkey, would of been great to play u in the grand final, 11th vs 45th overall would of been a fitting result, u sure got sucked out on badly on the wkend, hopefully in our league the best team wins the grand final, that being me Dellas delights lol. a grand final win and maybe sneaking into the top 10 would be nice.
