Good evening all, Interesting TOTR this week I reckon... some good scores and some repeat performances from a few of the stars. To score 3125 you needed: Newman - RIC - 154 Lower - FRE - 146 Rance - RIC - 130 Bock - GCS - 128 Broughton - FRE - 127 Martin - MEL - 126 Gibbs - CAR - 115 Montagna - STK - 154 Ziebell - KAN - 151 Thomas - COL - 146 Pendlebury - COL - 145 Swallow - KAN - 142 Ball - COL - 141 Cox - WCE - 137 Mumford - SYD - 118 Petrie - KAN – 314 (c) Fyfe - FRE - 138 Podsiadly - GEE - 132 Monfries - ESS - 126 Petterd - MEL - 126 Harvey - KAN - 115 Hawkins - GEE - 114 bench of $91,700 no-namers with a mere $400 left in the bank. Late Sunday afternoon I'd pretty much sorted out the TOTR and was just waiting for the Kangaroos-Bulldogs game to play out... The game ends and then all of a sudden I had to find room for 4 Kangaroos in the TOTR (didn't see that happening!). Anyway, this got me checking out the 17 TOTR's so far for the most players from one team in the one week... (more on that later). Repeat player appearances from this week's TOTR: 6: Gibbs (3rd consecutive), Pendlebury (2nd) & Fyfe 5: Broughton, Daisy Thomas (2nd consecutive), Swallow (Kangaroos), Cox, Petrie & Boomer Harvey Last week's TOTR was a massive FAIL! It dropped 1532 points from 3043 to 1511. (donuts for Gibson, Hodge and Franklin all contributed to this). Also, Shaw from Collingwood didn't play for some reason either so that's another zero. Funny that, I would have bet he'd make TOTR this week... Personally, I traded Shaw for Talia and then Lynch for Fyfe which gave me 4 players in the TOTR (Newman, Lower (bench - aarrgghh!), Cox and Fyfe). The round winner (new year saints) scored 2715, $1000 and had 10 players make the cut! In iScent I suffered another loss to my arch enemy... he fluked, I mean scored, a win by 83 points. Thanks to my stupidity making another appearance, I registed a zero with Kepler Bradley not playing. Interesting points: - Richmond lost but had 2 players make TOTR, Gold Coast won and had only 1! - my arch enemy in iScent's mother was a hamster and his father smelt of elderberries, I fart in his general direction! - This is the third time this year the TOTR midfield has been 50% Collingwood (R4, R16 & R17) - search for a clip on youtube: AFL Legends Coaches - Jeans, Kennedy, Barassi and Hafey Now, back to my note before about the maximum team representation in each week's TOTR. 4 occasions we've had 5 players from one club make the 22 listed in the TOTR for a single week: Essendon - R6 - vs Gold Coast (3 teams: bye) Fremantle - R9 - vs Port Adelaide Carlton - R15 - vs Richmond Collingwood - R16 - vs North Melbourne (3 teams: bye) Good luck with your team, take care, The Silverback PS Allan Jeans... what an amazing man.

@ anthak sorry mate, I never replied to your question last week... nah, sorry, I don't keep details on who the TOTR stars score their points against... One week I promise I'll do a WTOTR (Worst TOTR). Bet I get more players make that team than the good one!
As a TS newbie, Silverback I gotta tell you that a $10M TOTR (plus a WTOTR ...lol) is an awesome concept, and would have thought it has potential with major corporate sponsorhip to be a significant national weekly fantasy comp. Tried selling it to SC or DT ?? Or am I talking sacrilege?
Loving the trash talk Silverback. The team, as ever is far away from any that I'd enter int the IScent challenge.
6 for me this week Siverback, Broughton, Martin, Gibbs, Pendles, Cox & Petrie, Just to keep the Pythonesque flavour going perhaps I (as your arch rival) should challenge you to a fish slapping contest!! Happy to end this little battle locked on 2 all & move on to the Carcassconne.
Thanks Silverback - was looking for it this week couldn't find it! 6 This Week; Chris Newman; 154 Nick Lower; 146 Greg Broughton; 127 Bryce Gibbs; 115 Leigh Montagna; 154 Dean Cox; 137 Could have 7 if one of the $91,000 no namer was Ian Callinan!? Also trading in Pendlebury this week so could well of been the 8. Those 6 contributed 833 from my team total of 2415. 833/2415 Over 33% of my score came from 6/22 players and none of them Captain!!! Cheers Silver.
