So, its been a long weekend for me, if I see one more SQL error, Im gunna tear out my hair! but, weve gotten through the worst of it- it should be smooth sailing from here on in. Heck, should even be faster than before as well, which is a nice little perk.

Anyways, the season is done, its all finals now baby- so its time to trade hard if youve got em, to stay competitive. Well yanno, provided your opposition isnt carrying their own problems.

But thats next weeks problem, so lets look back at this week-

It all started on Friday, with the Bombers continuing on the great Essendon rollercoaster, this time dominating the highly rated Saints by 5 goals. Although dominated, it was Goddard who top scored with a 133. Perenial whipping boy, Bachar Houli top scored for the Bombers with a 127 in his 4th game for the year. Fletcher came in 3rd with a solid 122. It should be noted the Stanton scored a nice 117 playing off the half back line, which could be a lucritive option at a discount price. Gram looks to be offering a great deal in the backline, scoring 110 and costing just a little over $300k. Riewoldt looks to have bottomed out at $440k, an with a couple of tons under his belt looks a perfect upgrade in the forwards. Hille made his long awaited return and a score of 83 looks good for those suckers- I mean coaches- who have held him through his "3 week" injury. On the low side, S. Fisher put in a shocker with 32 points, while Gumbleton scored just 33 points and looks to have picked up a season ender.

Game two for the round saw the Pies smash through the Blues, with Swan doing what Swan does and scoring a 152- falling just a few dollars short of the magical $700k mark. Pendlebury came next with a 139 while Didak put up a 136, and is in great form moving into the finals. Ball looks to have hit his straps with a 134, hes now been averaging 104 points over the past 7 weeks- not too shabby! Griggs top scored for the Blues with a 113, knocking up his second ton in two weeks, while Neon Leon has finally put in two good games in a row, with a 102 to back up last weeks 95. Chris Judd looks to have done something to himself, currently its looking like a pec issue, however, the current word is anywhere from 3 weeks to "50/50 for this week" - but Im sure well hear more as the week progresses. Need I remind you all, this is the exact reason we have been preaching the saving of trades! One bad week now, and the season is over. On the low side of the spectrum, Scotland, Carrazzo and Waite have all had shockers wth 41, 35 and 34 respectively.

The second upset for the week was Port Adelaide getting up over the Hawks by 8 points. Justin Westoff led the way with a 16 touch, 133 point game, while Schulz kicked 4.2 for a 132. Sewell top scored for the Hawks with a 128 with a solid 10 tackles. Renouf picked up his highest score for the year with a solid 110 while D. Stewart ad Hitchcock did quite tidily with a 94 and 88. One C. Rioli might be looking in a fair amount of trouble with a couple of haymakers thrown, but well see what comes of that soon enough. Prolly the saddest point from a fantasy coaches point of view was the 64 scored by Luke Hodge, particularly for those coaches who set him as captain, cmon people, raise your hand if that was you.

*raises hand*

Saturday night saw Geelong romp through the Swans, that said though, Sydney didnt do themselves any favours kicking twice as many behinds as goals- might have been a completely different ballgame had they kicked straight. Speaking of kicking straight though, Stevie J top scored kicking 6.0 to top score with a 152. Milburn put in a great 140 with Ablett took out the third spot with a 135, looks like he wont be falling under $500k now, thank god! Kelly is in great form at the minute, averaging 123 over the past 6 weeks, while Goodes strengthens his "end-of-year-form" reputation with a 120 (a 138.75 average over the past 4 weeks). RoK continued his bad form with a 62, however he was outdone by Grundy who scored 30 points and along with Waite disappointed all of the MPP coaches out there!

The other game on Saturday night saw Melbourne lead at every change and defeat the Lions at the Gabba by 10 points. Sylvia is back with a 133 while Staker top scored for the Lions with a 125. McKenzie brought in the next hhighest score with 120. The Rocklobster did very nicely with a 107 while Brennan might be a nice cheap option returning to form with a 90. Harwood might be some good value with a great 91 so if you need a downgrade in the mids, you might want too look at him. The funniest result for mine in this game was the fall of one B. fevola, a 1 has brought his price down to $152k- who knows how low hes gunna go! Value for next year? who knows!!

Sunday saw the Tigers valiantly get over the Crows. Chris Newman top scored with a solid 144 while Tuck did just as nicely with a 140. Bernie Vince top scored for the Crows with a 128. Its Daniel Connors who continues to mock the coaches who did their research though. Costing a trade, then punishing us with yet another great 116. Meanwhile Martin bounced back breaking the ton for the second time this year. On the sad side, Nason got his 3rd "teen" score in a row and has lost $100k in the last three weeks- OUCH!

Next came the Doggies v North Melbourne and the Kangers were no match for the 126 points gleaned by the 26 touches of Cross and the 7.2 kicked by Barry Hall. Boomer Harvey top scored for the Roos with 121. No real big suprises from this game except for a great effort by Sammy Wright scoring a fantastic 103.

The last game for the round was an absolute smashing out west. The boys from Fremantle went out on the field with a mission and absolutely demolished the Eagles. Kicking a massive 24.16, they walked out 75 point victors. Suprisingly, it was Priddis who led the scoring with a 139. Then it was all Dockers- asleby, deBoer, Ballantyne, Broughton, Johnson, Duffield, Fyfe, Mundy and Ibbotson all breaking the ton. Crichton made himself a tasty midfield downgrade for those who are looking, while LeCras collected another bag of 5 but only managed 81 SuperCoach points.

So there we go- a season full of fun and an action backed finals series in front of us. Well, most of us. Myself, Ive missed out on the finals in all the TS Cash leagues- but hey, theres some fricking tough competition in there. Now, just to remind you guys, the winner of the TS Cash league grand finals will recieve themselves a package from our good friends at <a href="http://textoutsms.com.au/">TextOut SMS[/url], which might be a nice condolence if you dont take out the overall.

Ayways guys, its late and Ima going to bed- let us know how youre going in the comments!
