TooSerious
For those who take it way too seriously
Review is going up piecemeal this week as I get them knocked up. Been a busy weekend for ol' walesy.
St. Kilda vs Richmond
Result: Richmond by 17
Well the Tigers have done it. They held off the Saints and have the first two wins of the season. A feat they haven't accomplished since 1997. Was it particularly convincing against a, and I hate to say it, lower rated Saints outfit? Not really, but they got ahead early, and managed to hold onto the lead, despite a massive challenge by the Saints towards the end of the third quarter.
It was a good win for them but I'm still going to hold off until their round 4 challenge against the Pies before backing the Tiger army.
Leading the charge for the Tigers was Jack Riewoldt who had just 10 kicks, kicking 7.2 from it for a 138SC. It's a far cry from his team-game that was lauded last weekend, but really shows the diversity that Richmond have in playing him as he was just as potent in both roles.
Their captain, Trent Cotchin, was very good picking up 31 disposals and despite a 55% efficiency rate, managed a 119SC. He was actually pretty quiet through the first half, picking up just 42SC points, but a big second half saw him manage 32SC and 45SC in the final two terms. Really was their when the game was on the line.
Speaking of game on the line though, Brett Deledio managed 52SC points from his final term, resulting in a 114SC off 27 touches.
Really a case of Richmonds big names pulling the team over the line in that final term.
Dustin MARTIN scored 92SC for the game, but was shut right down after the first quarter, in which he scored about half his total points. There's...

Something ORFFL happened over the weekend, so let's get to it.
SARAH ISLAND SAVAGES 1337 DEF COULTA COULDABEENS 1280
Rumours of the jar being smashed for good proved unfounded as the Savages stormed to victory. The ruck battle was completely one-sided as Minson's 143 towered over Redden's 29 which did not help. The defence stood up and returned to form for the Savages with 129 from Goddard, Frawley with 117 and Chaplin 99. The rest were average to good with JJK again tonning up (103) and the ever reliable JPK scoring 108. Harry Taylor decided to do a round 1 Chaplin with a paltry 44 which would be a concern and Hocking's half-century is even more surprising considering the slice of pie Essendon got of the 3300. Mayne burnt out from last week, managed just 61.
In what could have been for the Couldabeens, they managed to get a good score thanks mainly to the 'Hoff benefiting from playing against a NEAFL side, scoring a massive 163. Lynch too enjoyed taking over ruck duties thanks to Jolly's demise and his 114 could be repeated in weeks to come. Other solid contributors include Priddis (113), Zaha getting a full game (103) and Ebert in an emotional match (100) on bench, all passing the century mark. Pittard getting his first game for Coulta did not disappoint either scoring 91 but low scores from the aforementioned Redden and others like Adam Kennedy (53), Schultz (66) and under-performing forward-mid Wright (61) meant an easy win for the Savages but good signs for Coulta to break their duck egg in the future.

ORFFA - ROUND 2 REVIEW
By Lenny120
Insomnia round promised to be a big one, and it didn't disappoint with some close matches mixed in with some brilliant scores.
Whitsundays 1148 defeated Marble Bar 1046
The Whits kicked off proceedings in round 2 with a tight win over the Misfits.
In a low scoring encounter, Birchall (121) and Sloane (100) were the only ones to crack the ton for the Whits [EDIT: except for Boak] in an important win to get their first points on the board.
For Marble Bar, a horror start to the season continued, with no one scoring 100+.
Birdsville 1210 defeated Darraweit Guim 968
Birdsville continued their promising start to 2013 with a more than comfortable win over an underperforming Daraweit Guim.
Mcevoy (130) and Howlett (127) led the way for the Battlers in a solid all round performance.
For Darraweit, only Maric and Walters managed a ton, and will have been left pondering what went wrong. Inconsistent scores across the board was the difference in this clash.
Powlett Plains 1194 defeated Gariwerd 1040
Powlett Plains built on their round 1 win last week, with a comfortable victory over Gariwerd.
Bellchambers (144) dominated the defenders of Gariwerd, while Kane Cornes (123) continued his brilliant start to the year for the Packers.
Gariwerd would have been looking to hit back with a win this round after a disappointing loss last round, but too many passengers and not enough leaders saw them slump to 0-2 to start 2013.
Larrikin Lagoon 1166 defeated Lovely Banks 1124
The Lefties got their season on track with a narrow win over the Lilacs.
Led by midfielders Priddis (113) and Conca (113), the Lefties proved too strong in the end and will look to build on this win.
For the Lilacs, it was all over the shop. They would have been left ruing some green vests and horrible displays. Mattner (33), Bird (12) and Brennan (15) were the difference in...

I bet when the AFL invented Sunday night games, they didn't expect that one of the side effects would come from fans neglecting their posting duties due to being at said late night game.
Anyways, Gaz is a god. So is Dunstan. Dayne Zorko will be fine and I cracked 2300 this week.
wooo.

Forgive us for stating the bleeding obvious, but the Melbourne Football Club is in more trouble than the early settlers, to whom some of its supporters can probably trace their ancestry.
In the past six seasons, Melbourne has won 32 games. In the Fitzroy Football Club's final six seasons, before it merged with Brisbane, it won 31. Since 2007, Melbourne has had the benefit of a smorgasbord of top draft picks and a wealthy supporter base of which Fitzroy could only have dreamt; yet on and off the field it has fared little better.
In 1993, Fitzroy won as many games as it lost, and lost several games by less than a kick. Three years later, Fitzroy was gone.
It has been six years since Melbourne won as many games as it lost. Even with the cyclical nature of today's game, that is too long.
In the past four years, Melbourne's off-field position has been propped up by a combination of the AFL, the MCC and a Debt Demolition campaign that will surely never be repeated. The place doesn't exactly reek of economic sustainability. A significant portion of their recent financial and moral gains was then lost in the wake of last month's $500,000 fine in relation to &lsquo;tanking', whatever that means, and the associated stigma.
Then came Round 1, 2013.

[span style='font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; font-family: inherit;]Much has already been written on this website about the merit of having
Ablett in your team. Everyone would be aware that he scored a massive
178 SC points last week against St Kilda (87 SC points in the first
three quarters before his match winning effort including 3 goals
and 91 SC points in the last quarter). This week, Gold Coast are playing
Sydney and his numbers are very impressive &hellip;

your captain and vice captain as often as you like, prior to the start

that your currently selected captain's (or vice captain's) match has

cannot be changed.&rdquo;
<p style='text-align: justify;][span style='font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold; font-family: Arial, Arial; color: #414141;]
<p style='text-align: justify;]This means that we during
the year, we can select a player from an early game in the round as
our vice-captain and, if happy with that score, remember to put the
captaincy on a non-playing player whose team is playing later that round.
This week, the only game to be played before the Ablett's game (Saturday
afternoon at 1:45 pm) is the Friday night game between St Kilda and
Richmond. That being the case, I have included a number of St Kilda

[span style='line-height: 1.3;]The biggest issue I have week to week and season to season is knowing which rookies to play on the field and which to sit on the bench. In the trading post Walesy wrote here[span style='line-height: 1.3;] he talked about the winner of the SuperCoach season being decided by a thousandpaper cuts[span style='line-height: 1.3;]- little errors that gradually put you out of contention as the season progresses. Whoever suffers the fewest cuts, wins the day.
I have a team that I'm pretty happy with which went fairly well with a score of 2,423 leading to a ranking of 1,042. I really can't complain there except for the fact that I had so much sitting in reserve. Leaving <a href="http://tooserious.net/Player.aspx?id=2305&name=Jack Viney">Jack Viney[/url] on the bench? Pretty bloody dumb in hindsight! Had I fielded the right players, my team had the potential to score 2518 and put me in 32nd place. That's 95 points and a whole bunch of gloating to Walesy I missed out on right there!
If small mistakes arepaper cuts, my inability to field the right team in any given week is a gaping axe wound, particularly with my heavy reliance on rookies to fund my (spectacularly awesome don't you dare get injured) midfield.
I figured I can't be the only one, so what are your strategies? How do you decide which rookies warm the pine and which ones hit the field on matchday? Do you go off last weeks points? Position in the team? Coaches comments? Gut feeling?
Help a lady out, TooSerious!
