TooSerious
For those who take it way too seriously
Some pivotal games await in AFL Round 20, but in SC land we have finals starting and those still playing will be playing for their lives in Elimination Final Land or fighting it out in Qualifiying finals and eyeing a week off if the can pinch the W.
Good luck !!
Good luck !!

Charlies Opening 1017 defeated by Darraweit Guim 1414
The Opening are stumbling to the line, having lost their last 2 and were hoping to atone for it against top 4 side Darraweit, however it was not to be. Big games from Nick Nat Paddywhack (133), Ben McGlynn (130) and Rance (125) put paid to any hopes the Spelunkers had.
The Hoff (120) and Evaaaaahn Maric (115) also put on shows for Chelsea to offer a selection of all shapes, sizes, complexions and levels of hirsuteness in her search for a suitor.
The Spelunkers only had two players ton up, those being Jack (110) and Savage (104), again selection hurt with Hooker (64) starting on the ground whilst Grundy (105) sat on the bench
Nunawading Nuffers 1008 defeated by Powlett Plains 1201
The Raptors gave us all a taste of what is to come in the years ahead, with an under development squad taking out the win at Whitehorse Rd. Young bloods Toby Greene (117) and Tom Lynch (100) led the way for the pack, with a couple of older times in Carrots and Lachie Henderson getting 103 a piece as well.
Simpson (105), Daisy (101) and JPK (100) performed admirably for Nuna, but Sam Rowe (30) didn't respond well to the spotlight thrown on him by coach Andy during the week and the Nuffers forward line was simply awful. The rumour was that the Nuffers cheerleaders forgot their bloomers and the distraction of a handstand for a mark in the forward 50 was too much for the Nunawading forwards to handle.
Wagga Wagga 1109 defeated by Mount Beauty 1162
Bama must be rubbing his hands together looking at the young players starting to cut their teeth.
Bugg, Viney, Wingard all show potential&hellip; but it was the more better known stars of the Uglies like Ellis (142), Hartlett (139) and Sidebottom (130) that brought home the chocolates against the more fancied wombats. Having square poo has its advantages, but the Wombats needed more out of players like Pittard (22) to have any chance of a top...

As SC finals are just around the corner trades are increasingly valuable, especially for those with none left unfortunately, and the right decisions now are what can make the difference between ultimate glory and another off-season of mockeryfrom your mates. With so much fluctuating form between players in recent weeks many coaches have struggled to maintain their momentum, and fair few will likely be tempted to try and make a couple of luxury trades to solidy their positions in the top 4 or 8 of their respective leagues. As always the Best Buys are here to attempt to guide you through these difficult decisions, but as with every other aspect of SC the numbers can only tell you so much. At this time of the year success is often based more on luck and intuition than anything else, so more than ever coaches should always go with who they feel happy with rather than simply the players suggested the most by others.
The Best Buy for the week this week is Ben McGlynn, who has found some excellent form lately and seems to be avoiding much of the attention his companions such as Luke Parker are now receiving. Some big scores in his recent games have pushed him to prominence here, and with a very small number of selections to his name offers some great POD value. The coaches with the ability, and time, to play the loophole game this season are sure to be rewarded well, and McGlynn appears to be a good contender for this with only one Sunday game remaining on his schedule.
Also apologies for the formatting this week if there are any issues, time constraints have forced me to use and older version of Explorer and I really have no idea how it'll turn out.

Luke Thompson remains in the Best Buys rookies this week, with not a huge amount of options and a reasonable price after bursting his bubble last week. Costing just over 160 grand and averaging 54 for his first few games at the top...

It was always going to be an uphill battle for Gary to hold on to his lead with 7 games remaining. Even now with a month left of the premiership season to play, Joel Selwood has moved to within 1 vote of his ex-team mate, now on 22 votes. He's not alone up their however, Nat Fyfe's excellent form has him level with Selwood's count. Only two other players remain within striking distance of taking out footy's most coveted individual award - Josh Kennedy remains stuck on 18 votes (has missed out on votes now in the last 2 rounds), whilst Dayne Beams has come from nowhere to now be level in equal 3rd for those that are eligible. Franklin and Boak are next in line but are now 8 votes behind current leader Ablett, and 7 behind the chasing pack....
A few more rounds to go and then I can do a number of 'special' analysis to identify the required salary cap, the value of trades and hopefully the TS community help some of the learnings form this season. Feel free to suggest any analysis you'd like to see.I'll also have to automate this process a whole lot more. In the mean time, here we go again.

Get in there, scored a 2491this week! Might actually be heading into the finals with some form for a change! 
Even have 3 trades in hand (which, perhaps a little low, should be alright for these all important finals).
How are you tracking? Make the finals? Trades in hand?
Also- seems to be reports on comments not working in these parts (NBA thread, I'm looking at you!) - Just working on that now.

TheBlues ALMOST dida massive favour for the top 4 contenders, but Fyfe (sorry, Freo) were just a little bit too good, and Pav owners who didn't loophole him will be out shopping for a new TV or laptop at lunchtime today.
There are some tasty games this week from a fantasy perspectiveand obviously this is the round where top 4 and top 8 are down to the wire so no doubt there will be some of us hitting refresh repeatedly come Sunday's games as our season's (and cash league $$$'s) are on the line.
And let's not forget that it's semi/prelim final weekend in the TS Masters Series, TS Shield and TS Plate.
