TooSerious
For those who take it way too seriously
Ive said this a number of times this weekend, and Ill do it again- Footys back! and doesnt it feel good!
The season opened up with a fairly dominate performance over a hapless Richmond, with Betts and Carrazzo stealing the show. Connors and Martin put in a more than servicible effort from the rookie front, while Newman disappointed evert coach that has him.
Friday night saw a gallant Bombers outfit run over in the final quarter by the mighty cats. They were rusty in the first quarter, as seen by Gaz scoring 1, but he managed to finish on 127 - To the relief of coaches everywhere. Selwood, Bartel and Chappy were their dominant selves, but it was Stanton who stole the show with a 133.
Howlett impress from a rookie front, while Hooker made many the coach who gambled on him happy. Gumby dissappointed while Hille is going on a holiday.
Saturday started with the Demons, wresting the title of wooden spoon from the Tigers. Hodge impressed everyone top scoring with 121 and Ladson impressed on debut with a 91.
Peterson was the pick of the rookies in this game with a 71 beating both Scully and Trengove.
Saturday night saw the Swans get within a whisker of the Saints, with mis-kicking hurting their chance. Riewoldt dominated with a 163 while Malceski and Goddard proved beautiful pickups in the backline.
Kennelly and Seaby put in impressive opening games playing well above their average. It looks like Taghd hasnt missed a beat since going to Ireland.
Meanwhile at the other end of the spectrum, Mattner just took himself off my Christmas card list.
Rischitelli top scored against the Eagles, but I think the story of the night went to Brennan with 31 touches.
Shuey and Waters scored impressive debuts while Clark and Cox hurt many of the Premium ruck supporters.
Sunday saw Kornes knock up the highest score for the round with a massive 173, while Harvey and Ziebell impressed with a ton each. Harvey got a report however. Havent seen it yet, anyone see it?...

Alright, weve got the post below to talk about last minute changes.
This post here is to talk about the results for the weekend!
So, Betts and Carrots dominated last night. I guess we cant all play Richmond every week though. Not to take anything away from the Blues though, they did exactly what they needed to to get the 4 points. But well reserve judgement for a few more rounds I think.
Remember, its a marathon, not a sprint. And early fixtures to make a big difference on early perceptions, so dont go jumping on anyone just yet!
Onto tonight. Mah boys are taking on the mighty cats! And at this point in the season, SuperCoach, as with real footyball- anything can happen.
We havent been crushed with injuries, or poor form yet. The sky is the limit! So Im excited!
And to those of you who are planning on a few post work cleansing ales:
DONT DRINK AND TRADE!

Alright, Im sick of seeing that error post up top. Theyre currently restarting the server every time it gets too bad until they can fix it. *rolls eyes*.
That said. 3 hours til lockout! Are we excited! I know Im excited!
Ive got three people to watch tonight and boy am I excited to watch them! (Well, two if I decide to cash in Warnock now for a 50k payday.
)
Since the server has recently been reset, get in and get your tips in while were still smashing along!
And dont forget, the live scoring should be going for its maiden voyage tonight. And I say maiden voyage because it scored a bit of a recode and is completely untested. So if its broken, then fixed, then broken again- then theres a chance its me tinkering and *not* the servers for once!
*sigh* I do long for the days where the only errors were me tinkering...
Enough on that though- FOOTYS BACK!!! Go you good thing!!
(ps- well get the team posted up over the break as they come in)

I gotta put this up as a topic for discussion. Purely because its so damn important to so many side.
<a href="http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/90879/default.aspx">link[/url]
<blockquote>
Ablett, last seasons Brownlow Medalist, is out of contract at the end of the season and is contemplating a massive offer from Gold Coast, which has already signed his brother Nathan, a former Geelong premiership player.
Thompson betrayed some frustration with the contract situation.
"I couldn’t care about Gary Ablett this week, apart from hoping he plays and plays well," he said.
</blockquote>
Personally, Ive no doubt that hell be going. But with all the media attention, you gotta wonder about the effects that will have within the playing group.
Sure, they are all professionals, but they are people too. Surely Im not the only one getting scared?

By popular demand (or at least one), and because Walesy was nice enough to make a footy tipping competition (sponsored by <a href="http://footysystembet.com.au/" target="_blank">Footy System Bet[/url]), Knightys footy tips are back for 2010 (I love referring to myself in the 3rd person). Round 1 is the hardest round to pick, so I normally just go for the obvious picks. Theres plenty of time to get creative with tips when you know how the teams will perform. Tips are once again in bold, and this year I am also including a highest SuperCoach scorer pick just for the <a href="http://footysystembet.com.au/" target="_blank">Footy System Bet[/url] TooSerious Footy Tipping competition.
Thursday 25 March
Richmond V Carlton,
Top Scorer: M Kreuzer, Carlton, 136
Richmond is likely to miss Foley and Cousins in the engine room, but really who needs to analyse this game-its Richmond playing! Last time they played Chris Judd and Marc Murphy tore it up for the Blues, but with Judd missing and Murphy recovering from a hip problem, Im tipping Kreuzer to be the highest scorer by demolishing Richmonds weak ruck division (which is on par with the rest of the team by the way).
Friday 26 March
Geelong V Essendon
Top Scorer: G Ablett, Geelong, 164
As much as I really really want Essendon to win, I cant see them getting close to Geelong. Hey, Id be happy coming within 10 goals of them given our record. Heres some advice-unless you support Geelong, the Saints or the Bulldogs, tip with your head not your heart. Ablett to dominate as per usual with the only impediment to a really high score being the Cats dominating so much they all steal points off each other. In fantasy news, dont be surprised if Hille is held quiet and Podsiadly is given lots of cheap goals in the square as the Cats act like they are on a training run. Prove me wrong, Bombers!

Just putting up a quick post to apologise for the server issues weve been getting around here recently.
Im hoping that the hosts have got it sorted (it seems to be working now, but perhaps theres not so many hitting it now) - But Ive a feeling that well cop some more issues as the hits keep climbing.
I can assure you that Ill keep on their case until we get it sorted, and if I have to, will look into getting bigger and better servers elsewhere.
Ah well, all bad timing with lock-out tomorrow, but let it be a lesson to us all, lots of people love supercoach, so get your team in early in case you cant get in near lock out! (And I did notice that Supercoach went down for a little bit tonight- so watch out!)

Firstly, the TextOutSMS TooSerious leagues are now FULL! As in, actually full this time.
Do you remember the talk of maybe a packet of Pringles for our grand final winners? Well, the generousity of our sponsors, TextOutSMS, weve well and truely done better than that. Each of our grand final winners from our $50 leagues will win credit for 1000 text messages from TextOutSMS. The winner of our $20 league will win 400 credits. Awesome. These guys are good folks (obviously) and if any of you guys have any need for bulk purchased text messages for your companies or teenage daughters, I suggest you make these guys your first stop.
<a href="http://www.sideways.com.au"><img src="http://tooserious.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/sideways.jpg">[/url]
Then comes the Sideways Cup. Jo is *still* hurting about not being allowed to enter this one. The prize is a $500 party for 10 with the guys at Sideways playing with their radio controlled cars. Fun! Even more fun - this is a FREE competition! How do you win? By entering your team and posting the highest round score for the season. How do you enter your team?
- Log OUT of your supercoach team, and go here: <a href="http://supercoach.heraldsun.com.au/?p=topcoaches">Rankings[/url]
- Search for your team.
- Copy the link to your team into a program like Notepad or something.

- enter that number into the SuperCoach Ref on the Accounts tab.
And you’re done!
If you have *any* issues, think you may have entered the wrong thing for your team or are unsure about what youre supposed to do and think I may have had too many whilst writing the instructions, feel free to email me at...

Ive been doing a little house cleaning around the place.
Got the injuries all uploaded so injured players should appear as Red (or Orange if returning that week). Hold your mouse over the injured player to get an update on the actual injury.
Ive also got the weather reports coming back in on the gameday page, which is always nice. Apparently the weather out West has been UGLY. I feel for you guys!
Ive also rolled the gameday pages over to round 1. Which is very exciting, means were ready to start!
Just one more sleep until lockout!!!
So, what to do? Firstly, youll want to confirm that your players arent injured- aka, double check Ballentyne. Hes v. doubtful this weekend, and worse is that hell be on an extended bench.
So if you do have him, make sure youve backup. And not Franklin.
Good luck everyone. And make sure you get your team in TONIGHT! Cause while there is the promise of rolling lockouts and extra servers, I certainly dont want to bank the rest of my year on it!

Well, not my team, but yours.
Only three people have seen my team. But only two can tell you about it.
Having ones team rated isnt for everyone, I know Im not partial to it- cause hey, weve all got to keep a little mystique in this relationship.
BUT. I am more than happy to rate your team, give you a second opinion, or in my absence, leave it to the capable hands of everyone in the community. Theres a lot of smart folk here.
So, get into the comments. Theres two days to go- Lets get RATING!

In his own words
<blockquote>
Ive added a value and adj value column. Value is price/avg score and adj value is that number multiplied by 1.125 to account for the lower preseason game time. If a player gets under 5311 adj value then theyre scoring you more points than you paid for them (these players are highlighted green). As expected ALL of the good value is in the cheaper players. Not a single $500k+ premium other than Goodwin had an adj value under 5311. Heres the top 20 value players in various price ranges
