TooSerious
For those who take it way too seriously
It was fantastic to see so many new donors last week!!! A huge thank you goes out to everyone that has signed up recently!!
We had some interesting discussions last week, and our trade plans were thrown out of whack, by team selections, for the 3rd week in a row. But this time it wasnt a biggy, but it did cause us to trade out our 3rd option, Lower, instead of Matera, who was our 2nd preference to trade. And we all know how Lower played on the weekend! But Puopolo looks a better option than any of the forward line downgrades we were discussing, so its not all bad.
Our two trades last week were:
Lower --> Puopolo; and, Swallow --> Judd
We had our first tied vote in one of our polls! Usually, if we were tied near lockout, I have been able to drum up an extra vote from someone... but not this time. The tie was between Judd and Mundy for our upgrade, so I went with the cheaper option, which looks like it may pay off: Despite Judds minor injury, he outscored Mundy this week; and many around here are predicting Mundys numbers to go down during Sandis absence.
We didnt have such a fantastic week... A score of 2,333, which isnt too bad normally, but it wasnt enough to hold our overall ranking, as we slipped 524 places, out to 4,405th. And we only won one league game as well.
Over the break are our players individual scores for round 9::::

Joel Selwood surges to the top of my brownlow count this week, after 3 weeks in a row unanimously being declared BOG. Â Selwood was my initial pick for the medal this year, but after being concussed in the first quarter of the season, followed by missing the second game, that prediction was initially put to rest.
Since returning however, Joel has been in ripping form - averaging 124 SuperCoach points in his last 7 games, which have all been wins.
His favouritism early wasnt the Geelong bias coming through (well, maybe a little) - there was some science behind it:
- through 2008-2010 GAJ was the leading vote getter at the Cats, taking up 78 of the 314 votes collected (25%)
- in that time, Selwood was comfortably second with 56, an average of 19 per year (18% of overall & 24% of the non-Ablett vote)
- Bartel was well back on 32, followed by Chappy and Stevie J with 26 & 24 respectively
Even without natural improvement in his game, which youd expect from a 22 year old, his expected return increases to 24-25 just from Gaz travelling north. Â We are seeing the results now, with him leading my count on 15 after 9 rounds, and equal second with Franklin and Boyd in the public count behind Watson.
Franklin looks to be in ripping form - almost 2008 form, where he picked up 20 votes to win the Hawthorn count. Â His main competition usually comes from Mitchell & Sewell (Hodge is a very poor poller), with only Mitchell looking to challenge him at this point.
Watson has become the smoky again, with a few more weeks away from being able to add to his total.

So, round 9 has come and gone, with two major things happening- firstly, we had some HUGE scores this round- seriously huge scores; secondly, it looks like the king is dead! Captains choice is now officially a major point for us all to deal with!
So, lets get into it and see whats transpired.
<!--more-->
Carlton v Geelong
Result: Geelong by 2 points, 15.12.102 to 14.16.100
Started off on Friday night with Carlton showing us all that they are definitely top 4 material this year, going head to head with the cats for 4 whole quarters, and were it not for an errant 20 meter kick at the dead, would have won. However, the Cats managed to keep their lossless record alive, walking away 2 point victors. Marc Murphy top scored for the game, his 32 touches at an 84% DE were enough for him to make 145SC points. Hot on his heels was Heath Scotland who racked up 34 touches for a 140SC. The Cats top scorer for the round was Joel Selwood- with 29 touches and a very nice 121SC. Waite put on 2 goals for a 120SC and the Chapster had a decent return to form with a 112SC. We saw a decent performance by Duigan, whos 92SC and a fantastic run of games to come will see his salary move up nicely. plenty of disappointing scores in this game though, Carrazzos 77SC, Bartels 61 was a real stinger, Duncans 55SC and Vardys 31SC were all pretty bad.
Heros: Murphy, Scotland, Selwood.
Villians: Bartel, Yarran, Taylor.
St Kilda v Melbourne
Result: St Kilda by 20 points, 16.10.106 to 13.8.86
Saturday rocked up, and the Saints managed to stick it to the Dees, walking out with a 20 point victory. If you tuned into the Captains Choice this week, you would have noticed that Joey Montagna was our 31 choice holding a 150 average against the Dees in recent matchups- and boy, he didnt disappoint, running rampant with a 38 touch performance and a 151SC. Riewoldt collected a massive 31 touches and a 141SC while Goddard also returned to form...

What with so many of the ppopular premiums performing, I think this might be a round to watch in terms of someone breaking through and getting that highest round score for the year thus far.
So how are we all tracking?
Hurting from playing Tappy on the field or elated that you picked Montaga or Marc Murphy to captain your squad?
Anyone regretting trading out Roo or Goddard?

Alright, round 9 is just about to fire up! I gotta say, Im enjoying the trading game this year, these byes are making it very interesting when deciding who should stay and who should go.
Happily this week, Im looking at bringing in two premiums and Higgo off the bench- so the charge up the ladder starts today! Bring it on!!
And as always, join us in the <a href="http://tooserious.net/live_scores.php?page=gameday&id=10250377&process=live">chat tonight[/url], or just check out the stats, it should be a ripper of a game!

Round 9 and it looks like the cavalry has arrived! Plenty of new rookies debuting this week, including pre-season favorite Tendai Mzungu!
Guess this means we wont have much to worry about over the next few weeks with downgrades.
A couple of INS that will make a few coaches smile- Rioli and Higgins are back- heres hoping they can reward the coaches who held onto them.
INS: Vardy, Montagna, Winmar, Evans, Pittard, Mzungu, J. Brown, Stanton, Keeffe, Riley, Malceski, Rioli, Bailey, Embley, Kerr,
OUTS: Curnow, Gram, Pitt, Drummond, Watson, I. Smith, Hale,

This week with the GC having their bye, it means that all of us (except those who enjoyed Gazs 198 last week) will have a full compliment of stars to choose from-
So lets dive into this weeks Captains Choice.
<!--more-->
Judd vs Geelong
Round 21, 2010: 75SC, 20 disposals
Round 5, 2010: 143SC, 27 disposals
Round 19, 2009: 99SC, 27 disposals
Round 10, 2008: 116, 28 disposals
Form: 121, AA Geelong: 105
Notes: Youd be suprised to note that Ling didnt play in round 21 last year, and with Scott musing that Ling will go to him, it might be worth looking elsewhere.
Gibbs vs Geelong
Round 21, 2010: 130SC, 26 disposals
Round 5, 2010: 122SC, 28 disposals
Round 19, 2009: 106SC, 32 disposals
Round 10, 2008: 72, 21 disposals
AA Geelong: 119
Notes: Hes got very solid record against the Cats, even though he took a knock last time they matched up, he still managed a 130. If his form were better, Id be telling you to lock him in!
Chapman vs Carlton
Round 21, 2010: 133SC, 33 disposals
Round 5, 2010: 110SC, 28 disposals
AA Carlton: 111
Notes: Played well against Carlton last year, starring in their round 21 win- but as with Gibbs, current form is an issue.
Selwood vs Carlton
Round 21, 2010: 110SC, 27 disposals
Round 5, 2010: 98SC, 19 disposals
Round 19, 2009: 124SC, 28 disposals
Round 10, 2008: 80, 21 disposals
Form: 131, AA Carlton: 110
Notes: Not a great history against the Blues, but not bad either. His latest saw him go head to head with Murphy while Ablett got the Tag. Still, his current formline is excellent.
Montagna vs Melbourne
Round 14, 2010: 155SC, 35 disposals
Round 22, 2009: 155SC, 33 disposals
Round 10, 2009: 146SC, 31 disposals
Round 10, 2008: 141SC, 20 disposals

Before the season started, we got the hot tip that a number of factors in the Supercoach formula were changing- I detailed a few of them <a href="http://tooserious.net/changes-to-the-supercoach-formula">here[/url].
Anyway, Im sure most of you read it- then forget it, but not Manikato1. Not only does he remember it, hes also knocked up a quick article analysing some of the results from it- namely, the clangers.
So click on over the break and check it out!

There were a number of changes but none as important perhaps as the changes to the “clanger†rule. </font>
<p align="justify"><font size="3" face="Calibri">Last year the scoring for clangers was -8 for a clanger by foot and – 6 for a clanger by
hand but the new rule makes the score -4 for all clangers. For the clanger kings this means a whopping potential turn around in PPG, with 4 points per foot clanger and 2 points per hand clanger improvement on offer. So has the change made a difference so far this year?</font>
<p align="justify"><font size="3" face="Calibri">Below is the list published earlier this year which consists of 21 names with their average clangers per game from 2010. Five of the 21 need to be taken out of calculations leaving 16. Barlow, Schammer, McLean and Fev are non starters this season while Cassisi got injured in his second game and that is not enough games to make him a starter.</font>
<p align="justify"><font size="3" face="Calibri">So what about the remaining 16? The list makes no distinction between foot and hand clangers so to make calculations easier an arbitrary decision has been made. Anyone with 3.5 clangers or above is allocated three foot clangers and one hand clanger while those below this get allocated two foot clangers...
Anyway, Im sure most of you read it- then forget it, but not Manikato1. Not only does he remember it, hes also knocked up a quick article analysing some of the results from it- namely, the clangers.
So click on over the break and check it out!
