good evening all, What a massive weekend! Records were broken everywhere with this week's TOTR the year's highest. (Previous best was in round 8 - 3326). To score 3336 you needed: Gibbs - CAR - 138 Broughton - FRE - 138 Goddard - STK - 138 Bock - GCS - 130 Scotland - CAR - 121 Silvagni - FRE - 111 (Enright 115) Puopolo - HAW - 111 (Gibson 114) Del Santo - STK - 189 Swan - COL - 176 Pendlebury - COL - 160 Corey - GEE - 155 Selwood - GEE - 155 Rosa - WCE - 143 (Priddis 154) Cox - WCE - 426 (C) Clarke - FRE - 110 (McEvoy 114) Johnson - GEE - 199 Giansiracusa - WBD - 137 Murphy - WBD - 136 Yarran - CAR - 136 Milne - STK - 115 Duncan - GEE - 106 (Fyfe 124) Knights - ADE - 106 (Pavlich 117) bench of $91,700 no-namers with $20,200 in the bank. You'll notice 6 names in brackets above... The 'real' TOTR included these players and scored a huge 3387 but was $913,200 over budget! So, to save $933,400 and get under budget (for the loss of only 51 points) 6 changes had to be made... Apologies to Enright, Gibson, Priddis, McEvoy, Fyfe and Pavlich for their omission. (That's a pretty high quality group in itself!) Some repeat appearances: 8: Gibbs (5th consecutive!) 7: Scotland (2nd), Pendlebury & Cox (3rd) 6: Broughton 5: Goddard (2nd), Del Santo (2nd), Steve Johnson & Yarran 4: Swan, Giansiracusa Last week's TOTR dropped 1019 from 3161 to 2142 (not too bad considering there were 4 donuts due to the multi-bye). My team had 4 members make the cut (6 if you count the blokes who didn't come in under budget). Duff's who scored 3046 was the winner of the $1000, the car, the world record, my respect (and possibly my heart - pending her supply of a recent photo) relax! just kidding... Anyway, she had 9 members make TOTR (11 if you add Pav and Fyfe to the list). Well, this weekend is a massive weekend for me in my cash league... I'm currently 7th, but if I win against an old rival I'll most likely jump to 4th and secure the second chance! (must win... think happy thoughts... must win... think happy thoughts... must win...) Interesting nerd fact for this week: Geelong's Selwood and Steve Johnson are the only two repeat appearances from the previous record holding TOTR in round 8... And whom did Geelong play in that round? Melbourne, Gold Coast, Port Adelaide? nope... Collingwood! Anyway, all the best to you and your team! Take care, The Silverback
Cheers Silver RECORD!!!!!! For me I had 7 (Goddard, Broughton, Gibbs, Swan, Pendlebury, Cox & Stevie J) Counting the brackets have 9 with McEvoy & Pavlich.
Wow thanks sb Love the nerd fact too! And how the hell are there so many freo players in there when the hawks smashed them! What's with that? 3 with another 2 in brackets!
I guess your question was rhetorical ant? If not I can only surmise that Broughton and coz of SOS saw a lot of the ball as the hawks forwards were relentless but not perfect. Food for thought? regards chels
Nice to see you've stopped gibb, gibb, gibbering on about your iScent doings Silverback. Nice work as always & goodluck in your cash league, who's on top there? Who do you need to overcome to take the $$s?
@Heavy regarding your comment about who's on top in the cash league... in the words of Foghorn Leghorn: Aaaaaahhhhh, shaddap!
