Remember last year, that debarcle around the advent calender and that grinch Walesy ruining Christmas for everyone?
Good times... good times.
Anyways, a couple of quick spoilers have been put on the AFL's site:
MID/FWD
Swan, Goddard, Deledio, Zeibell, Christensen and Cooney.
Surely everyone starts with Swan next year based on price now?

Round 4 has come and gone. Let's get straight into the reviews. Div One review is by Pearcy and Div Two is by Headmandude.

Premier League



Team Stowie (3-1) 1450 defeated The Jug O Naughts (0-4) 1120



Stowie has made a successful return to the Premier League and was able to defeat Fez who has been hit hard with injuries. Games played were 45-37 in favour of Stowie. Uncle Drew led the way with (181/4), next best were Harden (141/3) and Parsons (124/4). For Fez, D Will was the best with (198/4), followed by Jabari Parker (132/4) and Teletovic (123/4).



Westside Hardcore (2-2) 1286 defeated TS Heaver (2-2) 1266



Games played were 41 all but the difference maker in this matchup was the Monobrow who was unstoppable with (228/4). The other leading scores for Westside were Rondo (129/4) and Teague (109/2). For Heaver, Timmy D defies old man time with (176/4), next best were Walker (141/4) and Griffin (126/4).



Run TMC (2-2) 1336 defeated Too Seriouseses (0-4) 1291



Games played were 41-35 in favour of Walesy. The underrated Vucevic was the best for Owen with (211/4), followed by Wall (179/3) and Tobias Harris (176/3). For Walesy, Chalmers has been a surprise packet this season and once again scored heavily this round with (202/4), next best were Green (180/4) and Love (149/4).



Dad's Army (2-2) 1394 defeated Wade Machine (2-2) 852



Games played were 45-32 in favour of Dad's Army. A tornado has come through and decimated Wade Machine at the moment. Young, Wade, Allen and West all missed games this week and it showed in the final scoreline. Jordan Hill was the best for Dad's Army with (176/4), followed by Kobe (164/4) and Lowry (151/3).



Ruddy's Cavaliers (4-0) 1483 defeated King of Karlos (2-2) 1481



Games played were 46-45 in favour of Ruddy. This was the closest match in the Premier League this round. Bosh was the best for Ruddy with (186/4), followed by Green (160/4) and Wright (159/4). The...

Draft day on Thursday and man, does it all appear to be up in the air at the moment!



Heck, even the #1 pick is a fair unknown at the moment- McCartin or Petracca? Who's it gunna be?



Where does Goddard go? What about Laverde? From all reports, he's sliding, but how far?



Who are you hoping to see at your club?

I am bit pressed for time this week so I won't be able to do the review for the Premier League.

Here are the results

Premier League



TS Heaver (2-1) 1595 defeated The Ticking Time Bomb (1-2) 1353
King of Karlos (2-1) 1432 defeated Run TMC (1-2) 1307
Ruddy's Cavaliers (3-0) 1432 defeated Dad's Army (1-2) 1349
Wade Machine (2-1) 972 defeated Too Seriouseses (0-3) 967
Team Stowie (2-1) 1530 defeated Westside Hardcore (1-2) 1165
Hershey Hawkins Athletic Club (3-0) 1420 defeated The Jug O Naughts (0-3) 1302
Division One



Ant Hak - 1613 def Biggest Losers - 1289



Top Scorers: AH - P Millsap - 220, BL - N Vucevic - 171
Games Played: AH - 42, BL - 40
In a very one-sided affair Ant Hak took the chocolates with an easy win over the Losers. AH had a good amount of contributors across the board whereas the Losers copped DNP after DNP and struggled to put the points on the board. GM Pearce may rue the decision to take former MVP D Rose early in the draft as he has missed more games than he has played. AH has a very balanced line-up and will be a contender at seasons end.



Hinrich Manoeuvre - 1619 def Jasmine's Mob - 1323



Top Scorers: HRM - L James - 211, JMOB - J Harden - 184
Games Played: HRM - 51, JMPB - 38
After nearly hitting 2000 last week, Jasmine's Mob struggled to score this week and was easily defeated by Hinrich Manoeuvre. When you have 3 players that all average over 50 for the round (James, Bryant, Jennings) like HRM did this week you are always going to be tough to beat. In what is a very interesting turn of events, GM JJ's star recruit Big Pekker has gone down with none other than an injured wrist - is it from over use? Let's hope it doesn't keep him out of action for too long.



The Real MVP - 1399 def Hall of Famers - 1329



Top Scorers: L6 - A Davis - 223, FAME - S Curry - 195
Games Played: L6 - 41, FAME - 42
In the closest...

The NBA season is well underway and there have been some surprising results in the first 2 weeks. The Kings have started off well, the Raptors are on fire, Heat are playing well without the King and the Grizz are looking the goods at the moment. We have also seen some more predictable results in that Philly are already in tank mode, it is going to be a long season for the Bucks, Nugs and Lakers, Spurs and Warriors are going to battle it out for top spot in the West and the Cavs will take a while to gel.



From a fantasy perspective, the Monobrow has been incredible. All the people in our leagues who did not pick him with the first pick in the draft are regretting that decision big time. Already we have seen players go down with injury - Westbrook, Oladipo.


Premier League
King of Karlos (1-1) 1673 defeated Dad's Army (1-1) 1105



Games played were 45-35 in favour of Karlos. The surprise packet in Tony Wroten (209/4) was the leading scorer for Karlos followed by CP3 (199/3) and Sullinger (161/4). Dad's Army was hit hard with Noel and David Lee missing games during this round. Lowry was the best with (184/4), next best were LBJ (160/3) and Draymond Green (147/3).



Run TMC (1-1) 1423 defeated Wade Machine (1-1) 1401



Games played were 43-41 in favour of Wade Machine. This was the closest match in the Premier League this round . Al Jeff (194/4) was the best player for Run TMC followed by Wall (166/4) and Vucevic (159/4). Wade Machine was paced by Curry (215/3), Wade (189/4) and Hibbert (152/4).



Ruddy's Cavaliers (2-0) 1613 defeated Too Seriouseses (0-2) 1172



Games played were 52-38 in favour of Ruddy. The Chief is biding his time at the moment waiting for the big guns to make it onto the court - Durant and MCW. Ruddy showed no mercy in this match and Jeff Green was the best with (183/4), followed by Bosh (182/4) and Rolo (166/4). This round the leading scorers for Walesy were Bro Lo (158/4), Dirk (177/4) and Dragic...

Ok, so all the ins and outs for your club, along with their available picks in the upcoming draft.
So who won draft week? Brisbane definitely gave it a shake bringing in Beams, though Collingwood, despite being on the other end of that trade, looks to have done pretty well after everything was said and done.
