Worst shot at goal in the comp is definately Charlie Gardiner

I'd go with Matty Primus.

 

[Robertinho]

I will go with Jason Laycock

Dream Team results up yet?

 

[Jono]

Unfortunately not. I swear there better not be a huge delay like last week.

By my calculations I got 1894 this week. And that's including Andrew Kellaway getting me the massive score of 1 because he broke his jaw like a minute in the game.

 

[Hoggy31]

I reckon i'll be around the 1800 mark with some good performances by West and Smith etc. BUT i did have 1 player not playing because i only put two emergencies and three didn't play (Sinclair, McPhee and Bell)

*EDIT* Actually, You can add Lance Franklin to the not playing list

Can we safely assume that only these 10 are likely finals chances now? If so, which two will miss out? I can't help but feel that Richmond and the Roos are going to slip up and let Port and the Saints back in, but I'd like to see at least Richmond make it.

Yeah players pulling out last minute are an absolute b*tch. I had Cameron Ling pull out, and with Kellaway getting me only 1 point it hurt hard. I'm playing my brother's team (which I pretty much control anyway, I've updated it from a team full of Kanga players (both the awesome and not so awesome) including Petrie and Hale to getting him all the guns) and its come down to the wire. By my calculations I should win by about 40 and get my record to 11-1 but if I made some errors, which is very possible lol, then who knows.

 

[Hoggy31]

Cameron Ling didn't play for me either

Thats three players not playing

You really think so? I feel both the Roos and Tiges are safe, unless they were to absolutely fall off the wagon. Especially the Roos. Their efforts lately have been amazing and their run home consists of Hawthorn, Adelaide at home, Port Adelaide at Manuka Oval, Collingwood. Sydney at the SCG and Carlton.

As far as I'm concerned they should beat Hawthorn, Collingwood and Carlton, will go in favourites against Port and are quite capable of beating Sydney and Adelaide. Say they win 4 of their next 6. They're pretty much safe, as 13 wins WILL get you in the finals.

I am still fairly confident Richmond will make the finals. We have a pretty good run home, hell we'll only go inter-state 3 times this whole season (Brisbane where we have already won, Subiaco to play Freo and AAMI to play Port in the coming rounds) and we still have Hawthorn, Carlton and Collingwood to play.

St Kilda vs. Richmond will be a big game this week, and if the Saints lose I don't think they'll be around in September.

 

[Hoggy31]

Adding mine up now

 

[Jono]

You could probably save the effort, because if you check out the stats centre, all the players 'last round score' stats are updated for round 15. What that usually means is that the complete update is not far away at all.

But you should do it anyway, just incase the Dream Team admins get lazy

 

[Hoggy31]

Well the 17 players that showed up managed to put in a big effort to reach the total of 1513

 

[Hoggy31]

Ha! I still won by 48 points with 5 players not playing

Imagine if they all played, I would've got close to 2000

 

[Hoggy31]

My other team got 1927 without 1 player playing

 

[Jono]

1899 for me. Pretty damn happy with that effort considering Kellaway getting 1 and Ling not playing. Top scored in my league, and just edged my brother's team out who got 1853.

But something is even better, the person that was equal 1st with me on the ladder (1st on percentage, I was 2nd) has just lost his second game!!! You beauty, I'm outright first now. I'm 11-1.

I can't believe it, I thought we were going to stay even until we played each other in round 17. This is awesome.

To top it all off my ranking in the overall Dream Team league has jumped even higher. I'm not ranked 8339 out of 131254.

 

[Hoggy31]

Im 7th in my league (6-6)

 

[cameeel]

I'm first in my league, but only just, 1727 pts this week, so % of 128.07

 

[Robertinho]

I got 1717 with 5 people not playing! Unbelievable.

Anyone willing to go with Brisbane against the Eagles this Saturday night at the House Of Pain? It is definitely match of the season one would think, as the Melbourne vs. West Coast game didn't have this much hype to it.

I'm willing to stick my neck out and tip Brisbane. Black and Lappin haven't even hit full stride yet, and I'd like to see how West Coast handle Brown in the midfield. Shall be a great game.

Super Saturday has so many awesome games, can't wait.
