TooSerious
For those who take it way too seriously
There is no “i†in team. But there is one in Split round.
Now, because of that, I feel its my duty to remind you all of the loop-hole a partial lockout can bring. (disclaimer- this worked in the round one partial lockout- but VS may or may not have closed it, so proceed with caution.)
The loop hole essentially lets you double dip with your captians, but also with your bench players. Let me explain how it works.
Just one thing though, you *need* to have someone who isnt playing, but would heve been playing next week. (ie- Sydneys McNeil or Collingwoods Seamus to those who went the cheap R4)
Step 1. You place your vice captaincy on a player whos playing this week (ie- Hodge), and your captaincy on someone playing next week (ie- Ablett).
2. You watch and see what Hodge does, if he scores an 80, you do nothing and your real captain will step up to the plate. However, if he belts out a 160, move on to step 3.
3. Move McNeil onto the field for someone else who is playing in week 2 (Didak, Goodes, OKeefe). And set them as captain, dont forget to set the star that youre taking off as an emergency.
Now, because McNeil wont play- your vice captain will now be your captain, while your emergency comes on to cover his zero. - double dipping.
A bit of planning needs to come into it though, for example, if youre going with Seamus, your #1 and #2 rucks will have probably already played, so make sure you set him up on the field with your real emergency named *this* week, you wont be able to change it next week. This could bite hard though if Seamus is a late call up (see: Lobbe last week)
The other thing to consider is that you dont want to name your other emergency, or else the lowest of the two scores will come on. So youll be playing without cover in that position.
The other option, is if you have someone who might play next week, that you might want to play- Like Playfair, you set McNeil on the Field, set your F8 as the emergency (ie- Fyfe) -...

Twelve rounds in, and a youd need a dozen votes right now to be in with a chance if the last 5 years are anything to go by. Cousins, Goodes, Bartel, Cooney and Ablett each had 13, 12, 17, 19 & 19 after 12 rounds in each of their Brownlow winning years - which gives us 5 main candidates who could take it out in 2010:
5th. Michael Barlow (FREM) - 12 votes, 15/1
Started his first season with a bang, picking up 11 votes in the first 6 games, but has managed just one in the same time since then. You would expect him to slow down as the year goes on, so hard to see the young fella winning it from here - but a magnificent first year by any standards.
4th. Brendon Goddard (ST.K) - 13 votes, 9/1
Has become St Kildas most important player in Nick Riewoldts absence, and is enjoying a rich vein of form at the moment, polling in each of the last 4 games. A chance to win it, but will need a few things to go his way from here.
3rd. Gary Ablett Jnr (GEEL) - 14 votes, 3.75/1
Whilst Geelong seem to stay ahead of the pack to remain the clear best team in the comp, there is no doubt that Gary has fallen back to the pack. His first 6 games were excellent - yet still not at the level of the last two years, and he has certainly fallen away since then. In the eleven games he has played he has gone under 30 possies on only one occasion, yet hasnt surpassed 40 once (last year he topped the 40 mark no less than 5 times). Hard to see him going back-to-back in his current form.
2nd. Dane Swan (COLL) - 16 votes, 15/1
A somewhat controversial choice, but I have Swanny firmly in second place at the moment. Whilst he is only playing marginally better than last year where he picked up just 12 votes for the entire season, there are a couple of differences worth noting: Firstly, the core group of Pendlebury, Davis, Didak & Shaw took alot of the votes away from Swan last year, whereas only Pendlebury is playing anywhere near 09 form. Secondly, Dane did...

As we move into the split round, most teams are very much complete and this week saw some whopping scores registered. We also saw the keys being handed to a new owner...2 in fact...meaning Ford should be coughing up 2 sets 
So this week we will start with the Pine Warmers who have remained in 17th place overall this week even though the league averaged 2370 this week and had only 2 teams who scored less than 2300 :lol: a top effort.
The leagues overall average is 2215 and this week saw some strong results from tiger4life and9/11WasAnInsideJob. Life Post Richo cemented their spot at the summit while a few teams made ground up on the leaders with 2nd and 3rd both taking losses.
With some cracking SuperCoach league games coming up this week (and some beauties in the league - 1 v 2, 3 v 7, 4 v 6), a lot of key SuperCoach players under injury clouds and semi LTIs, and the split round captaincy trick being played, this is going to be a HUGE round of football...not to mention the hawks have the bumbers on Friday night the triple MCG.
Results are over the break

Round 12 sees a couple of big scores, well, by big- I mean little. Three scores under 30 this week! Makes me think you guys are getting better each week!
Basically, what Im trying to say is that I feel bad for both parlabana (29) and Bucko (28), cause this weeks winner was buzz, with 26 points. Looks like the only one really missed was Ablett.
The winning team for the round was:

So this week started off with the home team eeeking out a draw over the favored Mexican squad. Mexican defender, Marquez and the South African with the greatest name ever, Tshabalala top scored with a goal each.
Wait, what. No, thats not right. Round 12 started off with the upset of the round! North Melbourne smashed the Blues around the park for 4 solid quarters. Well, I say that the Roos did, but in reality it was just the one Roo- Lindsay Thomas. 7.5 and 217 points for the boy. a score that will see his salary go up $200k over three weeks. SDT got the next highest score with 152. The Blues big 3 midfielders in Judd, Gibbs and Murphy brought about the next 3 scores. Waite continues his return to form with a solid 94. Meanwhile Bastinac delivered nicely with an 88.
The only game on Saturday saw Hawthorn defeat a pretty helpless Adelaide. Cyril continued his return to form with a delicious 167 BOG performance. And might just break even with the price everyone picked him up for so many weeks ago. A lesson to not sell low peoples! Heck, even Tippett got a 115 and is looking to be tracking in the right direction finally. Hodge scored a solid 156, while Douglas notched up his 6th ton in 7 weeks, Would have been a great buy back then! On the other side of the board, S. Thompson put in a poor 33 while the porpis scored a 35. Might be some bargains in this adelaide squad next year!.
Now, speaking of helpless teams, Saturday night saw the Cats smash the helpless bombers by 70 points. Bartel top scored with a 160 while Kelly put in an outstanding 151. Podsiadly is gunna be fine all year I reckon, dominating with another 5 goal haul as the only tall in the line up (and 131 points). Alwyn Davey top scored for the bombers with a solid 110 while Chappy and Ablett "dissapointed" with 106 and 97. Abletts 97 was more disappointing because it came from 34 touches.
The other game on Saturday night saw the Swans walk it in over the Power, keeping them to 2 points in...

--We interrupt this weeks football to bring you this important post--
Alright, so its not *that* important, but it is kinda. As you all know, tonight Australia is playing Germany in the world cup.
Anyways because I know that a fair few of you guys are gunna being doing the same as me- ie, Up at 4 in the morning watching the game.
So, over the break in this post, Ive set up a chat section specifically for tonights game. So get in their guys and AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE!

So, tonight were kicking off round 12- and the world cup.
And Ive got to be honest, Ive spent my spare time this week researching my worldcup squad. I am ammused that my final squad has such players as Pernis, BellAid, K(ing). Kong II, Kum II, Welcome, Brockie and MENDOZAA!!!!
Basically what Im saying is that for the next month, I might be a little distracted...
That said though, it should be an interesting week in footy. While the top 8 teams shouldnt have too much trouble with their games (Well, except for that Freo-St game), I reckon there will be an upset or two to throw a spanner in the works...
Also, two points of order- firstly, I tweaked my Bet247 WC team this morning and it used all my trades up- Someone write those guys and tell them that using trades before the actual first kickoff makes the baby Ablett cry.
Secondly, Bandit- you out there mate? Send me an email!
Good luck everyone!

Well, Im back. Better late than never. And Ive learnt something from my experiences in exams-mention Bear Grylls in everything (those doing VCE will get it).
Friday June 11
North Melbourne v Carlton at Etihad Stadium, 7.40pm Top Scorer: Bear Grylls (or, maybe Juddy).
Saturday June 12
Hawthorn v Adelaide at Aurora Stadium, 2.10pm
Essendon v Geelong Cats at Etihad Stadium, 7.10pm
Port Adelaide v Sydney Swans at AAMI Stadium, 7.10pm
Sunday June 13
Richmond v West Coast at the MCG, 1.10pm
Western Bulldogs v Brisbane Lions at Etihad Stadium, 2.10pm
Fremantle v St Kilda at Subiaco Oval, 2.40pm
Monday June 14
Melbourne v Collingwood at the MCG, 2.10pm
All these would be what Bear Grylls would tip if Bear Grylls tipped. As it is, he doesnt, he just tells the teams who is going to win.
Captains:
Bear Grylls
Gablett
Goddard

Hello all,
Welcome to another instalment of the TS Leagues Review and what a weekend of football. Now before I start with the TS Leagues, I want to talk about the actual league and make mention that my prediction made last week of the Hawks sneaking into the 8 this week eventuated, and my boys brought it home to give this little black duck a very happy birthday...sorry Walesy and all you Essendon supporters out there, but see you next weekend at the G for the Round 6 rematch.
I thought that all games this weekend were crackers other than Blues blowout on Saturday afternoon, and this saw some very high scores being posted including a new holder of the car keys, who posted 2731. The Krunchy Nuts posted their biggest score of the season being 2437, but sadly this was not enough to bring home a win in the Pine Warmers league, who are sitting 17th overall and have now snatched the Number 1 TS Leagues spot...
Anyways, on with the league review...<!--more-->
This week we are starting with the review for The TooSerious20 league written by SoUpS...thanks mate!
As we complete the half-way point of this years 2010 fantasy football season, coaches are looking to finalise their squads in eager anticipation of the run home towards the finals. Various strategies are being used, with some coaches treating trades as golden eggs, whereas some coaches are looking to finalise their squads earlier than in past years thanks to the rich display of cheap Supercoach talent which has graced the track in 2010. Stars such as Barlow, Podsiadly, Martin and to a lesser extent Rockliff and Waters have all delivered richly for coaches prepared to punt on them. Some coaches may have spent a few trades to bring these cheap stars in, and some have been knowledgeable (lucky) enough to pick them up thanks to solid pre-season performance.
Either way, squads are starting to gel, and this was clearly evident with the massive scoring pumped out by the Supercoach masses...
