TooSerious
For those who take it way too seriously
Wow, its been a huge week.
The week opened with a huge 170 to JB who proved to be the difference between the Lions and the Blues. Betts, Adcock and Clark disappointed.
Then we had to wait.
And boy was it worth it. A 1 point nail bitter as Collingwood squeeked a win over the impressive Demons. Here, Scully bottomed scored, despite having 10 touches more than Jolly, who along with Fraser continues the disappointing ruck theme of this week.
The Saint won by 100 with Roo, Montagna, Dal Santo and Goddard impressing. North as youd expect did terribly. But the Kangeroos night was summed up by Harvey with 5 touches and 11 SuperCoach points. Probably a career low for the North champion.
West Coast and Port delivered the second nail bitter of the round. And if anyone scored a ton in this match, I would be suprised. Waters and NitNat impressed. Banner and Shuey, not so much. While Cox became the 4th ruckman cursed with under performing. I hear that Hurn is gunna have a couple of weeks on the sidelines though. Glad Maguire is performing enough to cover.
Sydney delivered the goods against Adelaide, OKeefe performed massively, but the biggest story of the game has got to be Seaby with a huge 135 - breaking the ruck curse. Goodwin did something to his kneee, so keep an ear out.
Apparently there was also a game at Ethihad stadium on Sunday, a painful, heart wrenching dissappointment. Not to take anything away from Freo though, those guys are lookinng great. Barlow, what a star! Sandi, standing up as a premium ruck where so many have fallen, Ballantyne, looking marvelous for all those who picked him up and Silvagni hitting the ton. On the Bombers front, Gumby did great, as did Howlett, who should hold that spot another week. Particularly with McVeigh annd his blood infection.
Richmond got smashed, but all Hall could manage was 1 goal. Disappointing! Cooney and gilbee however were delicious. As was Newman who bounced back from last week - its funny how...

Its bloody wierd having a day go by between football.
One game is just enough to whet the appetite, and then were forced to wait.
It was a pretty good game though, with big JB being the difference between the two teams kicking 7 goals and scoring a massive 171 points.
It unsung heros of the blues were Murphy and Scotland. Both looking like great pickups for their buyers.
Maquire impressed, to those of you who moved him onto the field, I dip my hat.
Waite picked up 16 touches, 5 marks and 5 tackles. If he had been doing that at the end of the game, instead of the start, he would have scored better - so donot worry about him.
And finally Clark, hes a worry. He looks tired and lethagic. His second efforts are almost non-existant.
I guess it all depends on how sick he has been. Ah well, I think hell be the biggest decision for most with a 50-70k drop imminent.
Ah well, its all back today so we can all exhale again.
Which Pie is going to dominate the Dees? Theres so many to choose from.
My dreamteam is rooting for Swan, but I would *love* to see Ball do the honors!
The rumors on Ablett has been persistant for a few days now, but I reckon hell be right. It sure is too early in the season for this kind speculation though! I need some 170 scores to put my mind at ease!
Did we all have a good Friday? Anyone cracked into their eggs yet? I know Im tempted to.

So, round two lockout is fast approaching, and its a strange feeling not knowing what the teams are yet!
Normally I know by know what my trades/team is going to be, Ive just got my ear out for any last minute changes.
But a Thursday lockout, with a Saturday game really throws a spanner in the works.
So what are we thinking?
Gray - Its an unfortunate situation, but I think youve got to hold onto him. At least until you have better information into who youre trading into.
Rockliff - As above. Any sideways trades of Rockliff this week are bound to end in peril. Hold him for an extra week.
Ablett - Hes the giant elephant in the corner that no-one wants to talk about. "injured" already, but a Monday game should see him play. Though it *is* Ablett and he *is* a superstar, so Im sure hell be right.
As for making trades, Im about 80% of the way through a might post on trading, but arent going to get it up by tonight, so Ill leave you with this key snippet.
Trades exist to make you points. A good trade will make you 300+ points for the year. Which in round 1 is a 15 ppg increase.
Do you honestly believe that any sideways trade you make now will turn a 15 ppg increase? If so, I would love to talk about it in the comments!
If not however, then steer clean of trading this week.
What are the other concerns that are out there?

So, we had a great round of tipping this week with 14 people picking 7 winners. Sadly, nobody got all 8.
Bryce Gibbs was by far the most popular pick, but sadly, came up short.
Eddie Betts was the highest scorer for the game, but neither of the two people who picked him got 7.
Amusingly though, we had three people pick 7 and an equal highest scorer. (2 on Marc Murphy and 1 on Kade Simpson)
So we had to go to the predicted score to break the ties, and here luckily we found a difference.
This weeks winner, picked 7 winners and a point difference of 6. Second place had a difference of only 8- So it was a *very* close finish!
Made me realise though that had that been a tie, the final tie-breaker would have been based on the earliest timestamp on the entry. But I dont think Ive explicitly stated that before. (So get your tips in for next week sooner rather than later!)
Ill be sending the winners details through to <a href="http://www.footysystembet.com.au/">FootySystemBet[/url] and they will contact you with further details.
Please note though that its probably bad form to go post the tips given up here (I mean, they do charge a pretty penny for their services), but if you could give us an impartial review of how they went at the end of the season, that would be awesome!
As usual, the ladder is over the break.

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)

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)

<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?
