So yes, our 2409 points, which was our best score for the year. Being ranked just outside the top 10,000 for the week was our third best weekly ranking for the year, and our current overall ranking of 22,601 is the best we've been all season, which unfortunately is a long way short of where we were aiming, but atleast we're on the rise!



So, how did we do it, with the following team:



Backmen:
Ibbotson 113
Heppell 107
Hanley 105
Goddard 97
Gibbs 69
Clisby 68 Emergency and Captains Loophole
Midfielders:
Pendlebury 153 VC and Captains loophole 306
J Selwood 133
Ablett 120
T Mitchell 113
Cotchin 109
Kennedy 107
Griffen 76
Dangerfield 70
Ruckmen:
Nicholls 121
Naitanui 69
Forwards:
Rockliff 147
Johnson 143
Staker 111
Zorko 80
Kennedy 75
Cox 70
Bench:
Webster 0
Thurlow 0 Captains Loophole
Vlastuin 66 Emergency
Martin 0
Rowe 100 Emergency
Currie 0
Westhoff 0
Franklin 0



Some decent scores from our backline, with Ibbotson, Heppell, and Hanley topping the ton, and Goddard just missing out. Gibbs had a bit of a shocker with 69, only just outscoring Clisby on 68. No points from our bench, so no immediate lost points here.



In the midfield we were led by VC Pendles, who after scoring 153 was given the benefit of the loophole, and lead our side! He was followed by Ablett, Selwood, Kennedy, Cotchin and Mitchell all topping the ton, with Griffen and Danger in the 70's and an injury to the Dangermouse! Vlastuin and Martin were on the pine, with Vlas not beating any of our onfield players, and Martin not playing, we didn't lose any more points here either.



In the rucks, we had NicNat score a lowly 69, being well out shadowed by Nicholls on 121, nearly doubling his score! The unfortunate thing was Rowe was our bench emergency with 100 points to his name, outdoing NicNat by 31 points. Meanwhile Currie continues to be nothing more than wasted space.



Finally the forward line,...

Here we are at the third and final part of the second lot of SC reviews for each club and there have certainly been some interesting results. We'd say that West Coast have been the most disappointing club of those listed below as they were tipped by many, as certainties for top 2. They are in real danger of missing out on the finals. Port Adelaide has<a name='0.1__GoBack][/url] been the surprise packet and are in the box seat for a finals berth while the Bulldogs and St. Kilda have started to rebuild. Richmond has been solid and has almost guaranteed itself a finals spot after 12 years and Sydney have continued to fly under the radar.

Anyway, hope you enjoy!

[span style='font-weight: bold;]Disappointment: Hamish Hartlett (avg 88.20)

[span style='font-weight: bold;]Travis Boak has been in superb form since assuming the captaincy. He has stayed around his average all season and has lifted himself into the top echelon of midfielders. [span style='font-weight: bold;]Brad Ebert is the bolter simply because he started this season off poorly but has lifted his average to 105.29 in his last 7. He was outstanding last season and this season, he has slowly worked into his strong rhythm. [span style='font-weight: bold;]Kane Cornes (avg 107.47) has worked back into his tagging role and his SC form has suffered as a result. [span style='font-weight: bold;]Chad Wingard (av 95.67) is one of the most improved players in the AFL and has enjoyed a good, attacking season under Ken Hinkley.

[span style='font-weight: bold;]Hamish Hartlett has continued to disappoint with his scores sliding heavily. Many jumped on him after his scintillating start however extra attention has kept him under wraps. [span...

The eagerly anticipated Part 2 of this season's 2nd club-by-club review is here and focuses on Geelong, Gold Coast, GWS, Hawthorn, Melbourne and North Melbourne. All in interesting positions on the ladder and in their development stages. It will be a while until they all fire at the same time.

Short, sharp introduction over. Now let's get stuck in!

[span style='font-size: 13pt; font-weight: bold;]Geelong (13 wins 2 loss)
[span style='font-weight: bold;]SuperCoach SuperStar: Jimmy Bartel (avg 107.53)
[span style='font-weight: bold;]Bolter: Dawson Simpson (avg 90.50)
[span style='font-weight: bold;]Disappointment: Tom Hawkins (avg 71.57)

Arguably the best team of the last 6 years, Geelong has continued it's mostly good form. It turns out, that devastating loss to the Brisbane Lions was a wake-up call for the mighty Cats. From a SC point of view, [span style='font-weight: bold;]Jimmy Bartel has been extremely consistent this season, playing all 15 games thus far, and dropping below the ton on just 4 occasions. He has an outstanding record against most of his upcoming opponents keeping his relevance to the remainder of the season. [span style='font-weight: bold;]Joel Selwood (avg 110.13) has been surprisingly inconsistent this season although his last month has been irresistible. [span style='font-weight: bold;]Stevie Johnson (avg 118.70) probably deserves to be the SuperStar for the Cats but he has missed 5 games this season and will miss another through suspension. That's not what we want. [span style='font-weight: bold;]Dawson Simpson has broken into the team and the behemoth has started off strongly; especially for a top-end rookie price. Twins [span style='font-weight: bold;]Mathew Stokes (avg 97.14) and [span style='font-weight: bold;]Allen Christensen (avg 88.14) have dropped off a little since the last review.

The big Tomahawk&amp;rdquo; [span style='font-weight: bold;]Tom Hawkins has not been able to replicate his 2012 form, this season....
