Fixtures
Anaheim Mighty Ducks vs Carolina Panthers
Anaheim continue to hold on to 6th place after a handy win over the Grizzlies last week which saw them produce a fairly vanilla score. They'll wanna keep scoring like that or better to keep their place in the top 6 or else they risk not playing finals. The Panthers also didn't move after having a win and remain in 3rd. There isn't a way to fault these guys despite their ugly win last week over the Otters. They'll just look to go about business as usual and cement their spot in finals. Despite the Panthers looking like the better team, I'll back the Ducks in for another win here.
Chicago Sharks vs Boston Terriers
Is Chicago's poor form finally behind them? Top score last week certainly indicates so. In fact, had these two teams played last week, Chicago would have defeated the ladder leaders! This is definitely a huge game as 1st visits 2nd because a win for the home side bridges the gap between the two which is exactly what the Sharks would want. The Terriers still don't look like faltering though as they continue on their winning ways and they even did it without star ruck Todd Goldstein last week. They'll want to keep their distance on top from those chasing them and there's no better way to do that than by defeating second place. I wanna believe in the Chicago win, but I think the Terriers will be too good.
San Francisco Grizzlies vs Colorado Avalanche
San Francisco wouldn't be happy about dropping last week's game, in fact it costs them a couple of spots on the ladder which is not what you want at this time of the year. They need to pick the right captain(s) this week and lock away what should be a pretty regulation win against a team they're expected to beat. Colorado just don't seem to find much luck when they need it. Good performances from the likes of Hunter and Curnow seemed to be in vain as they just messed with the wrong opponent last week as they would have defeated several other sides, San Fran included. They could definitely win this game and I'm gonna back them in to do so.
New Brooklyn Hawks vs Santiago Cockerels
New Brooklyn have been good without being great and will want a few more wins to push for an unlikely finals appearance. They can score okay on their day but the calibre of opponent this week means it could be another tough week for the Hawks who want something to go their way. Santiago only just won last week and they'll want to go back to their best for a win and percentage boost to secure their top 6 position. A few selection decisions seem to be at the forefront of the coach's mind and hopefully for his sake, he makes the right ones because this should be a regulation victory for the Cockerels.
Las Vegas Sinners vs Houston Bombers
The return of Tom Rockliff saw the Sinners do quite well last week, get a win and move up off the bottom of the ladder. That's big news for them right there. They'll be buoyed by that and have a chance for two in a row as they host the boys from Houston. The Las Vegas unit can be extremely dangerous on their day, so if everything clicks this week, we could see a huge effort out of the Nevada locals. Houston will want to avoid that happening and make up for being pipped at the post last week. Very unlucky to not get the win, they'll see an opportunity against a team they can easily beat. A win for the Bombers puts them into top 6 territory and with that on the line, I expect them to go forth and conquer this week.
Quito Quetzals vs Ottawa Otters
Quito now sits in prime position for the spoon after losing to the team that was formerly in last place on the ladder. They can score well when things go right, but that hasn't happened lately. Bugged by captaincy failures and some players not living up to their potential, the Quetzals just want their fortunes to turn around for the better. In the regard, the Otters are in the same boat. A disgusting effort last week resulted in the worst score of the round with two defenders being late outs and vice captain Zaharakis having a howler. The road head looked bright for Ottawa just a few weeks ago but everything has gone pear-shaped lately. Expect them to bounce back with a win this week.

What the right price sure :)
When young players are omitted from my side it just means they are out of form, rather than a sign of disapproval (as opposed to being spuds - e.g.
Suban). At the moment Miller, Crozier, and Jansen seem the better options but I try not to blame young players for being inconsistent (even expecting +100 from Macrae every game is ridiculous).

If you look at points scored they are guaranteed to get the last pick of the round come draft time - no matter what Ele does hahaha

So far so good for the Sharks

Boston aren't having the greatest round either, the Sharks are in this.
Let's hope pope's reluctance to switch the vc and c between Jelwood and Parker doesn't prove too costly because Boston's captaincy choice failed!
Also, I'm doing all the scores this weekend just so everyone knows.
I plan to provide an update of where all the games stand before the Queen's bday clash tomorrow but I'm going the Tiges vs GC game this arvo at the G, so if it doesn't come tonight, check in tomorrow morning!
cheers nige
Reason I'm not doing mine: have an exam tomorrow at 6pm ;-;
Also, really racking up the mid-game injuries now - Bundy last week into Swallow and Kolo this week :/ not fair!

These players are starting to drive me up the wall
wait why did i name Brooksby over Nicholls that makes no sense
The New Brooklyn Curse looks like it will hit us again - we've never broken the 110 barrier against the Hawks since Pk took over and out of our past three meetings, the one game we've won was a rivalry round game that carried little significance >:(
Still not as bad as my record against Boston though
Am I winning?

Unfortunately, you've got Mason Wood OOP as a result because Brooksby was named as your ruck and emg. You lost your sub because of the mistake as well. :-X However, thanks to Danger being flowering amazing, I don't think it's gonna cost you.
Quote from: T Dog on June 12, 2016, 08:33:14 PM

You'll find out soon!
The update will probably come tonight, will have dinner and make sure all the SC scores are set for the evening and provide an update with raw scores and who's to come for both sides (if any, but pretty sure everyone has at least one player to come).
i legit cant fathom why i did it
so much so i almost want to accuse someone of editing my post
i just don't understand
The Update
The following are the current raw scores for all six games. Captains, vice captains and co-captains have been factored in, but subs and HGA have not.
Also, at the bottom of the update, I'm calling out everyone on the mistakes they made in the naming of their teams. I'm not trying to be rude or sound like a dick, I'm partially doing it because it slightly inconveniences me as the scorer but also because more importantly, these mistakes can be costly (fortunately, don't think we've had such an instance yet this season though) and I wouldn't want anyone to lose because they were careless or half-heartedly named their teams in a rush or whatever. I get people are busy and this isn't the most exciting comp, but please consider taking 5 mins out of your day or whatever to make sure your team is named properly before the first bounce of the round from now onwards.
From next week on, I'll do my best to point out any flaws in the naming of teams before the bounce so that you guys have the time to make any adjustments, but it's still up to you guys to not just post your team and not bother looking at it again until week's end.
Anaheim Mighty Ducks vs Carolina Panthers
1659 with Greenwood and Stretch to play vs 1755 with Grundy to play.
The Ducks should win bar a disaster here given they have an extra player and HGA, but stranger things have happened.
Chicago Sharks vs Boston Terriers
1604 with McDonald and Tyson to play vs 1477 with Howe and Pendlebury to play.
Chicago in the box seat here to knock off the ladder leaders who have been pretty subpar rounds by their lofty standards.
San Francisco Grizzlies vs Colorado Avalanche
1689 with Viney to play vs 1440 with Bugg to play
San Fran well on their way to a pretty comfortable victory here with Colorado having a variety of issues.
New Brooklyn Hawks vs Santiago Cockerels
1571 with Sidebottom to play vs 1422 with Gawn (cc) to play.
A nice little upset brewing here. Hawks fairly solid across the board while Santiago have had some howlers.
Las Vegas Sinners vs Houston Bombers
1396 with De Goey and Petracca to play vs 1341 with Vince (vc) and Crisp to play.
This could be the closest game of the round. Sinners lead by 55, no sub, but a HGA of 44 currently while Houston have their VC in good form still to come along with Crisp.
Quito Quetzals vs Ottawa Otters
1419 with Reid to play vs 1203 with Williams, Treloar (vc), Hogan and Jones to play.
Otters will win this one unless something goes terribly wrong despite some poor efforts.
@Colorado: You named Brad McKenzie as a forward when he's mid only, as a result he's OOP and has his score halved.
@Chicago: This is minor, but I've noticed that the Parker (c)/Jelwood (vc) combination has been run just about every week for a while (I think), Parker's been pretty average compared to Jelwood lately and I feel like you'd benefit from actually changing your C/VC from time to time.
@Anaheim: You already know, but Brooksby was named as your ruck when he was omitted from the Suns, he was also named as your emg. You lost your sub as it was named in the E2 position when it's been advised/warned that they're best named at E4. This week is a good example of why it's good to name them at E4 instead.
@Boston: Similar to the above, your sub is named at E2 when you're better off having them at E4. See/read what happened to the Ducks as to why this can be problematic.
@Vegas: Your F4 was omitted from his AFL side and you only named two players as utilities/interchange as opposed to three. Your first named emg also wasn't named for his AFL side (hasn't been for a couple of weeks either) and yet you continue to name him. As a result, your E2 and E3 both came on to the field, you lost your sub and have no emergencies left because you didn't name an E4. Remeber emergencies can be of any position. Again, like the above two teams, your sub was named at E2 when you probably should have him named as E4.
@Quito: No VC or EVC named. Normally, we resort to your VC from the previous week but that was Sam Mitchell who was injured and didn't play this week and because you had no EVC last week, there was nothing to reference. I have generously awarded you Bryce Gibbs as sub, because I feel like he would have been one of your VC or EVC choices this week and he was your C last week. And again, like the three teams before you, your sub was named at E2 which almost proved costly as your E1 had to be used to replace the late out of Vlastuin this week.
That's all of them, but having to address 6 out of 12 teams isn't ideal. Once again, I'd like to stress I'm really just trying to be helpful to avoid your team suffering in a detrimental manner in future rounds. You don't have to listen to the above and I apologise if it came off harsh, but please, at the very least, consider what I said in the first paragraph of this post. Cheers gents. :)
Please Gawn... Please win this for me :'(
I just need to add... flower you Waite, Jansen, Malceski (biggest spud - I cannot get over just how useless he's become), Touk and you've let me down Hammer (cannot even hold his own against his teammates at Aberton this season).
It looks like Jenkins is our No. 1 forward at this point - I had him in the reserve behind Vickery & Bruce in our forward pecking order over the off-season - what a gun he's become. Charlie Cameron has been a superstar too - I didn't see him even playing a game for us (recruited as a purely last gasp depth player... he's probably our 3rd most reliable forward at this point).
Flowering Malceski... Besides Rampe & May, our defence each week is a lucky dip of shower players
So from our current top 6 we've had Boston probably losing this week, Chicago having lost in round 10 (and posting two showerty scores the two weeks prior), Carolina probably losing this week, San Francisco losing last week, Santiago probably losing this week, and Anaheim moving along nicely despite their outs. Very even comp this year!
And everybody make sure to get around Nige for doing all the work this round, and all teams mentioned in the mistakes should take note and work to fix that up.

Bit of a cop out, when arguably Parker was having his best season to date and I was benefiting his (c) score pretty well over Selwood in the beginning. I'm one who doesn't like to change the captaincy too drastically to try and "chase" points however I do admit I will be switching the roles if Parker doesn't fix up his form. I think my only mistake is naming my team early in the week and not updating it properly once teams come out on the Thursday, so I am definitely taking that advice onboard hahaha

Yeah, I agree man, I meant to mention that but totally forgot ahaha, that's probably more significant than the captaincy issue. I'm pretty much the same with captains, I'll only really change it up if I'm confident in a certain player vs a certain opponent or something like that.
showere I'm cooked. Dammit lads
Gotta love having Heater, Stevo, Coniglio, Jack, Deledio, and Montagna (and formerly Stef Martin) to pick from :D
Not really, gives me a headache every Thursday night tbh
I swear the SC scorers are out to get me
How does a player get 27 hit outs, 2 goals, 5 marks, 2 tackles, and 20 disposals at 85% efficiency for a 3qtr time score of 82 (he's currently on 109 in DT)
Boy, the SC employees responsible for calculating individual scores must be periodically reading these threads to laugh at my reactions each week after constantly flowering me over :P
This boarders on ridiculous... 27 disposals (81% efficiency), 3 goals, 31 hit outs, 6 marks, 2 tackles, 146 Dt points.... but only 112 SC points..
Forget Dangerfield's 48 possession game... Gawn easily deserves a higher score (I'll be overruling my B&F count to give him the 5 votes over Ablett)
Good work to Pk though - I was grasping at straws coming into this game so the upset was inevitable (I was basically hoping for a 200 point game from Gawn and for Sidey to spud it up haha) :)
Well played by the Hawks, easily the better team with only 2 spuds compared to my 6 spuds
Again I just fall short of the 110 point barrier against Pk >:( (subject to scaling)
I won??
Anaheim Mighty Ducks 19.9.123 lost to Carolina Panthers 20.4.124
(Real: 1847 vs 1861)
A superhuman effort from Patrick Dangerfield as captain wasn't enough to lead the Ducks to victory over a gallant Carolina outfit. For Anaheim, a few issues such as the absence of a ruck were really felt and were capitalised on by the Panthers who put in a true team effort to walk away with a narrow victory.
Best
Anaheim: Dangerfield, Greene
Carolina: Docherty, Ward, Bontempelli, Martin
Chicago Sharks 20.9.129 defeated Boston Terriers 16.19.115
(Real: 1938 vs 1735)
They did it! The second placed Chicago Sharks toppled the ladder leading Boston Terriers! The Sharks went into this one knowing they were a chance and seized the opportunity for an important victory in a pretty dominant display. For the Terriers, it wasn't a good week at all compared to their usual standard with the loss compunded by the injury to star forward/mid Luke Dahlhaus.
Best
Chicago: J.Gibson, Selwood, Tyson, S.Gibson, Wells, Menzel
Boston: Laird, Pendlebury, Priddis, Cotchin, Gray, Wright
San Francisco Grizzilies 18.14.122 defeated Colorado Avalanche 15.14.104
(Real: 1823 vs 1565)
San Francisco did it fairly easily against a Colorado outfit that just had a bit of a nightmare. The Grizzlies were led well by their co-captains Shaw and Deledio while the only negatives were concussions to midfielder Andrew Swallow and sub Kade Kolodjashnij. The Avalanche just didn't provide much of a challenge, with ruck Tom Hickey and veteran defender Jimmy Bartel their only shining lights.
Best
San Francisco: Shaw, Pittard, Steven, Coniglio, Wines, Deledio, Montagna
Colorado: Bartel, Hickey
New Brooklyn Hawks 17.14.116 defeated Santiago Cockerels 17.7.109
(Real: 1744 vs 1633)
New Brooklyn pulled off a bit of an upset in front of their home crowd as the Cockerels may live to regret dropping this one. New Brooklyn just did that little bit better on the day to come away with the win while Santiago will be disappointed that some of their personnel performed rather poorly.
Best
New Brooklyn: Liberatore, Gunston, Thomas, Crouch, Membrey
Santiago: Ablett, Duncan, Whitfield, Gawn, Jenkins
Las Vegas Sinners 16.11.107 lost to Houston Bombers 17.11.113
(Real: 1608 vs 1690)
The Sinners drop a game at home to the visitors Houston in a fairly tight game. As has seemingly become the norm with Las Vegas, a number of personnel issues proved costly and allowed the Bombers to pull out a win with their captaincy combo of Sloane and Vince leading the way.
Best
Las Vegas: Taylor, Rockliff, Lewis
Houston: Rance, Sloane, Vince, Riewoldt, Puopolo
Quito Quetzals 15.14.104 lost to Ottawa Otters 16.10.106
(Real: 1552 vs 1593)
A really scrappy affair ended with Quito losing to Ottawa in a game that neither side looked like they wanted to win. Quito failed to nominate a vice captain before a supporter suggested Bryce Gibbs and while they had more standout performances than their opponents, the Quetzals just fell short. Meanwhiel, the Otters were lucky to get away with this one and their leadership duo let the team down on the way to a very ugly win.
Best
Quito: Simpson, Griffen, Lynch, Barlow, Weller
Ottawa: McGovern, Hogan, Jones
i'm furious
Bernard Vince <3
Next Year watch out :-\
Confirmation the Otters are rip. NicNat is donion rings for 6-8 weeks.
Only got Big Boy as our ruck now and he's been shizenhousen for weeks (and he's our only other ruck too, fml).

That definitely hurts you, at least it is byes and you'll only be missing him for hopefully 3 games.
lastly up the Sharks, looking great this season thanks to basically 2 new star recruits in Wells and Kerridge (having a healthy Menzel hasn't hurt too). Drastically changed my teams scoring because of those 2.
Wouldn't mind Sinkers back tbh. :P
Goes to show we aren't top 6 material
Scoring +130 some weeks and sub 110 in others with the occasional game between 110-116 points
If you aren't scoring +120 each week you're barely a chance for the top 3
If you're, like us, not getting past 110 half the time, you're barely a chance for finals... no matter how many points you score in total :( (the draft order may add more insult to injury at seasons' end - hopefully teams have started to overtake us)
Disappointing effort but happy the Hawks had the mercy to beat us convincingly so as to remove any false hope - six horrendous scores so we deserved to lose and no consistency whatsoever this season (we'll be lucky to get the required 3 win from 4 games to maintain a chance at the top 6 - the scoring has just been too erratic) :'(
All in all, a disappointing effort and my team selection is partly to blame :-\
I just got home, will have dinner then get the ladder up
As promised, the ladder:
Boston Terriers 9 3 1517 1377 110.17
Chicago Sharks 8 4 1393 1348 103.34
Carolina Panthers 8 4 1400 1370 102.19
San Francisco Grizzlies 7 5 1456 1387 104.97
Santiago Cockerels 6 6 1426 1413 100.92
Anaheim Mighty Ducks 6 6 1367 1367 100.00
-------------------------------------------------------------
Houston Bombers 6 6 1342 1348 99.55
Ottawa Otters 6 6 1383 1400 98.79
New Brooklyn Hawks 6 6 1319 1382 95.44
Colorado Avalanche 4 8 1330 1372 96.94
Las Vegas Sinners 3 9 1216 1281 94.93
Quito Quetzals 3 9 1329 1416 93.86
No change in the ladder positions since last week! Five teams sit in the middle locked at 6-6, while the top four look to be settling themselves in.

Can confirm that Nige did the right thing there, I would have done the same thing. That's just how it works.

Yep, if one of your utlities/interchange was a ruck, they would have cover Brooksby, but they don't cover OOP players, your emgs do that.
