Hang around, Guys.

Sunday, August 31st, 2008

Guys, don’t leave after this week. Stick around talk about Finals DT, and the $100* (will be halved if we can’t get to 200 people) prize up for grabs. And, just talk footy. Also, I’m planning to having a very exciting SuperCoach competition planned for the Grand Final and there will be plenty of great prizes. Just got to talk to Walesy about that one first.

Also, an reminder if you want to help us in the off-season, leave a comment or pop me an email – braydog@live.com.au.

Thank you.


I Quit…

Sunday, August 31st, 2008

… ’til next year.

In my last ever Best Buys I gave you 5 forwards to pick up for the injured Pavlich. Well, I disgraced myself and let down my supports. Hopefully you didn’t listen and went Lids or Gia. But, lets look back…

Number 5 was Waite, I said 138 if playing back or 12 if forward. He was forward and gathered 49. It gets worse, Ryan O’Keefe was number 4, well, he had a cough so he pulled out. Paul Chapman could surely score something decent, he did get 163 last time vs. West Coast, I did only predict 116, but nah, just 40. Ok, so then it was Richo Man, nailing a whooping 171 last time vs. Melbourne and I was expecting atleast 136, but just 20 was all he could manage. Even hack Daniel Jackson could get 91. Ok, so my number one pick turned out to be my best, but hardly anything to get excited about. Fevola kicked a massive seven goals, to get to 99 not out. But, that only got him 75 points. That works out about 10 points per each of his goals. He just aint SuperCoach material.

Hopefully, I can do better next year.


Grand Final Scores.

Saturday, August 30th, 2008

Have a win in your Grand Final? I won all three of mine. But, have done some rough calculations on the National Rankings and I have found I can’t finish any lower than 7th and no higher than 15th and so if we put myself in the middle of that I’m looking at a finish at 11th. Surely not?

Stay tuned tomorrow for the TooSerious SuperCoach All-Australian team and stick around for some exciting competitions during the finals.


The end of a dream… (team)

Friday, August 29th, 2008

So, this is the end… the last week of the season.

The time where dreams are built, and crushed.

Or something like that.

There’s a handful of you out there who still in it to take out the championship, though you’re going to need a lot of luck to get over the all dominating convicts.

So dominating infact, that he’s by far the favorite to take out both the overall, and the eliminator.

Thanks to our friends at BigFooty, I’ve got a copy of his starting team, so unless someone tells me not to, I’ll probably do a bit of a review of it, cause it certainly broke the norms when it comes to team selection.

And for those of you still in the grand final, good luck. May all your Pavs play and all your Porps not pop a shoulder out.

Don’t forget though, we’ve still got the finals comp running over the next few weeks… we’ve almost got 100 players signed up… aiming for 200, so get your friends, you family, heck,  even your dog if you really want to… (Rovers Reckers – Though it might be tricky to wire prize money to a dog… )

And during the finals comp, I’ll be releasing the 2009 planner.

Essentially I’ve been in discussion with some fairly knowledgable folk, and between us we’ll be trying our hardest to predict both the magic number for salaries, as well as any salary discounts. Cause you can’t start planning too soon…

So I guess that’s it, the EPL comp will be running over summer, however throughout it, I’ll keep trying to update the site with new features and with fingers crossed, a complete re-haul of the front end. (And finally get away from these clunky tables!)

Catch you all later.


Thanks Guys.

Thursday, August 28th, 2008

Yes, it’s nearly over one more game to go. Thank you everyone for a wonderful season and I hope you all come back next year. We’ll have some awesome stuff, espically help with picking that first team. It’s been great fun doing the blogs and eventually getting a small group of supporters. Lucas and Emilio you guys got the ball rolling. Thanks. Also, good luck to Woodyman to take out the $20,000 and Lucas to give it a red hot go and finish top 5.

Anyway, in the offseason this site is having a real make over and when you come back next year it will be totally different… hopefully. I’m looking for anyone out there that wants to join us in the staff area put forward any ideas and help make those ideas. So, if you know anything about website design, blogging or really anything. Just pop me an email: braydog@live.com.au – make sure you include your user name for the forum.

But, yeah, thanks guys on an awesome season and good luck with your Grand Finals. Go Woodyman!

The Dogs Best Buys – No More Pavlova

Monday, August 25th, 2008

Matthew Pavlich is gone, not only does he bail on us with a late withdrawal last week but he looks gone for the season. Have you got that one last trade for the Grand Final? Or did you blow them all on the quest to make it? Have you got Valenti, Tippett and Gamble as your reserves and looking deep down the barrell of a donut in Grand Final week? Or are you lucky enough to have Hansen, Rioli or Hill?

Those with trades, read on for this Pav special.

Review – Round 21

Bloody Pavlova and Gilbee.

Into the Grand Final, guys? Or did bloody zero’s keep you out?


Sportal “Classic” EPL movements.

Friday, August 22nd, 2008

As all of you are ever aware of, the end of the ‘08 football season is fast approaching.

However, the astute fantasy sports fan would have already noticed that the Sportal EPL competition opened last week.

And the even more astute fan would have noticed that TooSerious is now catering for your team management.

While the Injuries and Named teams won’t be tracked, we will be tracking salary movements for all you Dream Teaming needs.

Enjoy,
Walesy


Trade Talk

Wednesday, August 20th, 2008

Sorry guys, have no time for a Best Buys this week. I have been deadset flat out. But, if you have any questions just give me a yell and I will do my up most best to answer them.

Thanks you for your understanding.

BrayDog will be back.


Finals DreamTeam = $100

Wednesday, August 20th, 2008

Ok, I know this has nothing to do with SuperCoach, but I want to promote this league as much as possible. Why should I join here rather than DT Talk, BigFooty or with ya mates? I hear you asking.

Well is up to $100 worth of cash and prizes tempting. Thats right guys.

ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS. Ok, well we haven’t exactly decided on the price, or the exact value but it will be good.

http://aflfinals.virtualsports.com.au/?p=league

TooSerious league: 877579

At this stage it will be an easy 100 quid because we are lacking numbers in the league, so get on board.
