TooSerious
For those who take it way too seriously
Well, its good news and bad news for the donors this week. The good news is that we scored 2308 for the round, which placed us at 86,617 while the bad news is we fell 2700 places in the hunt for the overall, to now be ranked 18,026.
On the leagues front, theres more good news - bad news. The really bad news is we only won one of our leagues this week, the bad news is we made the winners finals in only two leagues, and the losers finals in the other three, while the good news is were ranked number 2 in our best league.
Join me over the break to see how our team went, and how our finals are shaping up.<!--more-->
So, our individual players performed as follows:
Deledio DEF 144
Scotland DEF 89
Goddard DEF 122
Shaw DEF 73
Lake DEF 57
Carrazzo DEF 78
Yarran DEF 79
Ablett MID 165 Captain 330
Kennedy MID 90
Selwood MID 132
Mitchell MID 86
Pendlebury MID 126
Priddis MID 107
Cox RUC 76
Roughead RUC 114
Dangerfield FWD 127
Sidebottom FWD 121
Riewoldt FWD 102
Martin FWD 76
Porplyzia FWD 15
Goodes FWD 116
Adams FWD 48
Shaw DEF 89
Darley DEF 0
Gibson MID 92
Sexton MID 0
Campbell RUC 44
Pattison RUC 0
Franklin FWD 0
Milera FWD 0
Beginning down back, and we had Deledio leading the way on a huge 144, with Goddard following behind on 122. From there things went south very quickly, with some very disappointing scores coming from the blues brothers in Scotland (89), Yarran (79), and Carrazzo (78). Shaws 73 and Lakes 57 were just as disappointing, but we couldnt cover all of this if we had wanted to, since our bench of Shaw (89 - beating four of our starters) and a Darley donut mean that we could have only wished for a 32 point improvement on team selection.
Onto the mids, and once again its a case of good and bad news. The good was really good, with Captain Gazza doubling up his 165 for a sweet 330 points! Trailing him was Selwood on 132, Pendlebury on 126, and Priddis on 107. After that we had a poor Kennedy 90, and a worse...

The penultimate round of the ORFFL was a pearler; all creamy like. 2 games were decided by less than 5 points, and both have a large bearing on the upcoming final series. Which is in like a weeks time! Exciting! Head over the break and we get to it all!
<!--more-->
But first a message from our sponsors.
As you know, or should know, the first week of the finals series works thusly: 1st gets first choice of opponent, 2nd gets 2nd choice, and so on.
What has yet to be worked out is when these decisions would be made; before teams? After teams? DURING TEAMS??
Have your say in the little box and the bottom of your screen.

TARWIN LOWER PIGS 1297 Def by MALLACTOOTA MAGICIANS 1355
This was one of those matches that was actually quite close, the final margin of 58 points the Magicians way belying how even the contest was for much of the weekend. Which is to say nothing against the DOMINANT performance of Mallacootas finest. Bennell (193, avg. 98) was glorious - is he the best 2nd year player, Johnny?, McVeigh (135, avg. 100) superb, and Barlow (111, avg. 93) finding his scoring fortunes improve with Fremantles. McEvoy (126, avg. 104) also has the rare ability as a ruck man to score large while allowing his opponent to do likewise. The ultimate fantasy team player.
RUN HOME: If not 1st, 2nd.
R17 vs Coulta
The TLP put in a mighty effort to go along with their equally mighty effort last week. On both occasions it just wasnt enough. Giles (177, avg. 91) said anything Dan can do I can do equally well, Bastinac (117, avg. 74)...

Lasts weeks 2,903 would have been rubbing his hands together, right in the box seat for the car, til BAM- knocked off his perch in one week with a 2,918 coming through from Still Fishing, who might I say, picked up that score from outside the top 25k, with Brian Lakes 57 on the field!
Congrats mate.
So, onto the review...

This week, I didnt see coming. Upset after upset, and sure things were pushed right to the wire. Is it just me, or has this season suddenly gotten extremely close again? Or are teams just cruising into the finals?
Hawthorn vs Geelong
Result: Geelong by 2, 18.10.118 to 17.14.116
Geelong to the Hawks- Say it! (And if you get the obscure Scrubs reference, feel free to post Hawthorns reply in the comments.)
Regardless, this was two teams that certainly werent taking things easy. When looking back at the game, its hard to believe that at the start of the second quarter, Geelong were up by more than 50 points!
But the Hawks didnt give up, and they just kept coming (taking a bit of a break in an even 3rd quarter), to tie the game up half way through the final term.
And what a final term, Tommy Hawkins, what a fricking star. 6 goals, including the final 2, one of which was 55m out after the siren. Talk about pressure. Reckon he got a little robbed SC wise though, just a 147SC for his efforts.
Not much clear of 29 touch Selwood who managed a 132SC off his efforts.
The Big O did well if anyone is still holding him, 13 touches and 87SC is the kind of return we were hoping for at the start of the season mate!
Over on the Hawks side, Hale top scored with a big 141 from 17 touches and a goal, while Sewell picked up a 137SC and Rioli a 124SC - who has actually been running a 129.8SC average over the past 5 weeks. #BringingItHomeStrong.
A couple of villians from the Hawks though. Birchall and Lewis would have given you 66 points while...

The penultimate round of the ORFFL Season 2012. If I know my latin correctly, that means its the ultimate round for that plucky domesticated penguin, Pen-Pen. Goodluck, my friend. And good luck to all those ORFFL coaches still vying for a place in the finals. To those above me I hope you lose so I can take your place, and to those at the bottom, I envy the draft picks of anyone out of the 8. Onwards, to preview land!

TARWIN LOWER PIGS (13th, 1220) vs MALLACTOOTA MAGICIANS (2nd, 1265)
Tarwin Lower said goodbye to their finals hopes last weekend with a spirited performance that ended in a loss. Does this mean their seasons over? Ish-ish. They still have an opportunity to stick it to the 2nd placed Magicians, a side warming up their scoring for the impending finals series. On their day the TLP have the fire-power to match it with the best in the ORFFL. Will Saturday be their day? Will Mallacoota coach give Gysberts or Riski a run?

WARBURTON WANDERERS (3rd, 1242) vs POOWONG POTOROOS (5th, 1228)
One of the matches of the round again includes 5th placed Poowong, this time travelling to Warburton to take on the 3rd placed Wanderers. Poowong need to snap a 2-game losing streak to fend off a fast finishing Meerkats looking to take their 5th spot. Warbuton need to keep wining to keep hold of their 3rd place from an equally fast finishing Sarah Island. Some impressive inclusion for both sides at the weekend; Warburton see Hale and Hartlett press for selection, Poowong find Sherman putting his hand up. Warburton lose Schneider to a leg...

Last week before the finals, and soon, those of us who have held trades, will be able to unleash them onto their league, laughing manically after enduring week-in, week-out donuts for the stretch home.
mwahahahaha.
Well, unless you needed to cash them in for Broughton that is...

Fantasy EPL 2012/2013 is just around the corner, so its time we started discussing all things EPL.
For those that dont know there are couple versions of Fantasy EPL. On here we normally concentrate on the <a href="http://fantasy.premierleague.com/M/myteam.mc" target="_blank">Official FPL[/url] and <a href="http://epldreamteam.sportal.com.au//?p=index" target="_blank">Virtual Sports EPL[/url]
We are only about 15 days away from start of season so its bout time we got serious about the EPL side of things. With everyone in SC/DT running out trades and basically over the season, what better way to get your fix then this! Over the break we have all our league codes for both fantasy games and also Rate My Team.
Some of the best buys ive managed to stumble across are:
FPL Bargains:
Pogrebnyak - He is a 5.0 striker in FPL and plays TWICE in GW1. What more do you want!
Jaaskelainen - Cheap keeper (4.5) in FPL who has played EPL for while. Seems best bet of all the cheapies.
VS EPL Bargain:
If you are after some high risk, high reward then look no further then Torres ( £6,540,000). He has double game week to open the season and is sole striker now that Drogba has left (pretty sure hes sole striker now?)
Basically all midfielders offer value this year as they are almost all under 10M. Which from memory is well down, so stack your midfielders with "premiums" and look for bargains elsewhere!

Round 18 recap: OK Ablett is back. He led all scorers with 171 last week (which had followed scores of 150 and 133 in the preceding weeks). Following Ablett was Naitanui (164), Murphy (160), Maric (159), Swallow (158), Jack (158) and Tuck (153).
The numbers suggest that there are quite a few players who should score very solidly this week but, can we really look past Ablett?? Here are the numbers …

Dal Santo v. Collingwood
Rd 21 2011: 100 SC points, 28 disposals

Rd 8 2008: 145 SC points, 28 disposals
Rd 14 2007: 132 SC points, 28 disposals
Average is 117 SC points with 28 disposals.
Note: Head to head with Thomas in the most recent game. Poor scores in the GF replay playing head to head with Thomas after playing in the first GF very underdone. Otherwise, a very solid record against the Pies. A nice score last week with 137 which had followed two poor scores of 73 and 66.

Average is 117C points with 26disposals.
Note: Doesn’t seem to get tagged by Collingwood. Started the most recent game against them deep in the forward line and only managed 16 touches. A solid 127 last round which had followed shockers of 57 and 81.

A big week of ORFFA matches threatened to overshadow the start of another certain major sporting event as many spectators would prefer to watch a good game of fantasy sport rather than endure endless rounds of swimming heats.
Read on, fellow travellers of the road and all will be revealed over the break.......

Marble Bar 1086 lost to Iron Knob 1454
The Protectors continue on their merry way with Lids and Hurn the best of them. Shane Savage may have atough week at training after a contribution of 5 for the afternoon.
Mt Beauty 1214 defeated Waikikamoocow 781
A tough week for the Kiwis as they struggle to get some sort of team on the park.
Mt Beauty gets the job done, as good sides do. Beau Waters and Cyril both mentioned in dispatches after the game.
Charlies Opening 1290 defeated Nunawading 1081
The Spelunkers midfield runs riot as they trounce the Nuffas underground at the Pit. Allegations of tanking against the Nuffas are entirely untrue, as two large gentlemen in suits from the club explained to the ORFFA management in an offer they said we couldnt refuse.
Mawson Base 1176 defeated Namatjira 1081
The Cox/Beams combination does enough to get the Penguins over the line in a game that went to the last quarter. The only downside is that we had to buy quite a bit of our scientific equipment back from the pawnbrokers after the visit from the Nungas.
Cradle Mountain 1263 defeated Gariwerd 1186
Cracking match this with the rookie combination of the Devon Smith and Zorko the magnificent putting in the big ones for the win. The Cockies just short again in a season that must have been frustrating for the coach.
Gundagai 1395 defeated Birdsville 1358
An absolute exhibition of fantasy sports this one with the Hoppers saluting in spite of a 160 from Murphy. Lenny Hayes showing that he is still premium material with another 100.
Foul Bay 1379 defeated Whitsundays...

Foul Bay 1379 defeated Whitsundays...
The final week before the finals.
Only the one disappointing out, hopefully he can sort himself out! But there are plenty of ins this week, plus SJ looks like hell be playing which is all good!

Welcome once again to the Best Buys.
This week sees a lot of teams putting the trade cue back in the rack as they are safely ensconced in the top 8 in their leagues, however it also offers the last opportunity for those still battling it out for a finals berth to claim their spot. At this time of the year trades are invaluable, and a fair bit of thought needs to be given to all options and ramifications before they are used, as Greg Broughton has now shown. Last week the Stanton to Murphy was a popular trade, however those who used up their final trade and are now stuck with Broughton on the bench will be seriously unimpressed.
This week the pick of the week from me is Marc Murphy, the SMurph. After an injury induced lay-off he came back into some serious form in his last game and on current price is as cheap as chips. As Carlton fight for finals, and look to bring some starting 22 players back into the line-up, SMurph will be leading from the front and a major catalyst for the finals push.
I am also now on twitter, so follow me @BlueBelieverTS for notifications on when the Best Buys article goes up each week, and occasional injury info from the clubs.
For the info on SMurph, and the rest of the Best Buys, join me over the break.

INFO
The Best Buys uses a mix of price, form, break-evens and projected salaries to assess the Best Buys of each round. These are essentially the players that represent the best “value” which is determined by the above factors. Some player will not be mentioned on here even if they are playing well, as value is the key for this article. If a player is averaging 110, which is certainly solid, but priced at an average of 112 then they will not be rated. This does not mean these players should be avoided or not picked due to this, but simply that they aren’t as good “value” as the others in the Best Buys. For all the players I’ve missed, and any more you’re wanting opinions on, the thumbs are always...
