    BAM. Down by 20 points in the granny with Gunston stinking it up and making my "Never Again" list.

    Stings even harder with the game winning score of Phillips on the bench. Guess that's fantasy football for ya!

    Been another fun season though, brutal early, but pretty smooth late in the piece, particularly with the pre-final bye round. Might need to trade harder next year I reckon.

    I'd like to thank all the guys who have helped out with the site this year, the ORFF admins and those awesome articles from the kickass guys of TipBetPro. Make sure you get on board with them next year, another successful year for them! :D

    Hope to see some banter as the finals roll round, and a bit of Brownlow talk when that gets up!

      Holy truck- the scores didn't count the to-come-on-from-the-bench scores.

      My Goldstein to his Gibson!!

      Wow. Gotta feel for Shemm! Done in by 9 points on the back of a massive 2,683 from the Giant Killers.

      Apt name though!!

      Think I'm pretty happy with that. Could have been a lot worst after the byes played out!

      Rank 719 after a high of 411. Ok ranking overall but disappointed I couldn't maintain top 500. Conservatism with trades after byes left team stagnating I think. Plenty of lessons to learn.

      Ended up 167th with a late season charge courtesy of Cripps & Treloar. Won both cash leagues pocketing a cool $1k, certainly eases the pain of bowing out in the ORFFL last week. Congrats P_L!

      49806 for a rank of 16587. I came out of the byes at a rank of around 3000 then really stuffed up. Traded hard early but to maintain trades for injuries I got stuck with too much money on the bench (just over $2 million). I couldn't do two up and down trades to convert to two premiums because I kept having to cover injuries. Ran out of trades and had a spud in the backline in r23 but still scored 2298. Amazing how quick you slip just dropping 50 to 100 points a week. A lesson for next year.

      Sorry, just more about that cash league win (Cause I can't stop telling anyone who will listen)

      We won this, going into the final game 124 points down and Boyd to come.

      When the siren blew, Boyd was sitting on 120 points.

      5 ******* points in post-game scaling for the 1 point win!!!

      This was after already conceeding defeat mentally midway through the Hawks-Pies games as Gunston sucked and Treloar didn't score a point in the first quarter. (There was only 4 players difference on each team)

      Never been more stoked at the result of a fantasy football game! :D

      Feel your pain walesy.
      Had Danger as VC, celebrated before realising the C was on Hannebery and i missed the score.
      In 5 leagues, made 5 granny's and lost all 5 on the back of that call, finishing 842nd Overall.
      Can't wait for brownlow

      No probs - it was fun :). Well done on your win & a very good season.

      I suppose asking for a 204 point game from Rocky was a bit too much. (Riewoldt did get 187 though!)
      Stoked to make the GF (after just scraping into 8th) and have a ranking under 10000 (8981), especially when my last trade was used in Round 19 for Zach Merret. (No trades in Rd 18).

      Certainly learnt a lot about the art of loopholing a VC score and who to have as the Emergency.

      To Walesy & all the other wonderful people who provide this site - many thanks to you all.:thumbsu::thumbsu::thumbsu:

      And now for a contentious call - who would you like to see in this years GF?

      For me - West Coast vs Adelaide

      Regards

      Mick
