[Spite]

Good job everyone :) great league!

[LordSneeze]

 

Another week down and another 8 ticks have been placed in the win columns of various coaches. The supercoach gods were definitely smiling on some, while others were left to rue what could have been. Will the Anzac spirit shine brightly on them this week.
With the introductions made I would like to reveal the Div 1 Avatar. The champions name will be emblazoned into the design to create a long lasting memento of the successes of the 2015 season.

   

Once again we have congratulations to make. A new league rank of 34, a brilliant effort from all coaches. New target is top 30 this week.

Round 3 fixtures
Engineticians vs WingardiumLobbeosa
After a nail-biting clash last week WingardiumLobbeosa is looking to bounce back into the winners circle. Can bottom of the table Engineticians cause a big upset?

bicsbest vs Terrifying Glue
Will bicsbest be able to get his first win of the season or will the spoils to be glued into the win column of TG.

Stubbsy's Heroes vs Dos' Destroyers
Our early season leader is coming up against one of the teams yet to get off the mark. On paper this is a foregone conclusion, but as everyone knows anything can happen in Supercoach.

Corkascrew vs TRIPLE X
Similar to Stubbsy's Heroes vs Dos' Destroyers this match between two teams who have had opposite fortunes to start the season. Can that change this week.

Fantasy Addicts vs $Blues
Fantasy Addicts is still looking for his first win of the year. Can the $Blues avoid becoming the first scalp of an addict.

Cousins Coke n Ice vs FC HAWKSTOWE
Once again, an undefeated team vs a team yet to win. Will there be any upsets?

Mountalizians F.C vs Tiger of Old â€" Match of the Round
A massive matchup between 2 teams yet to lose. A massive prize on offer with the winner likely putting a 2 game lead between themselves and the chasing finals pack.

Spinach vs TailsPower
A very tight matchup, Tailspower is undefeated after a very fortunate win in R3, but has scored less points overall that Spinach. Spinach will go into this match as the favourite to get the win.

Big Mac's Army vs Frogjumper
Can Big Mac’s Army come back from the difficult loss last week. Or will Frogjumper get the win. In either case one will get back to winning ways.

So what will round 4 hold, how will you celebrate all that our brothers in arms did for this country. Hopefully taking some time out of Supercoach to attend a dawn service, I for one will be.
Let us all hope that the injury carnage that has been occurring subsides, we all need as many trades we can get going forward.
Good Luck, may the football be in your corner.

[Asparagus]

Terrific write up again mate and great to see the league so high in the rankings.

[Asparagus]

Dang it! Got beaten on the weekend, oh well let's hope this weeks a bit better.

[LordSneeze]

And the injuries just keep on coming. When it’s not premiums it rookies. Anyone who has 26 or more trades left after this week and players playing in all positions has been; as we call it in Australia; “Kissed on the D***”.

We have had a small drop in league rank this week down to 88. Overall that is still a great effort. Hopefully we can go back upwards this week. We currently have 16 of 18 teams in the top 12% of all Supercoach teams.

After 3 head to head rounds we only have 2 teams undefeated. FC HAWKSTONE & Tiger of Old well done boys, but in such a close league don’t expect it to last too long. IN the overall points there is only 19 points separating the top 3 teams and only 381 separating 1st to 16th.

Round 4 fixtures

Engineticians vs bicsbest
Two of the lower ranked teams go head to head in a must-win match. Engineticians reall needs to get a win to kickstart his season.

Stubbsy's Heroes vs WingardiumLobbeosa 
If you were told it was 3rd vs 14th in most league you would think that it was going to be a one sided match, but that is not the case in this one. Depending on other results a win could result in the teams switching order on the ladder.

Corkascrew vs Terrifying Glue
While both teams only have 1 win each, Corkascrew has been unlucky having the 5th most points scored overall, while Terrifying Glue is languishing down in 15th. Expect Corkascrew to get his second win, but not without a big fight.

Fantasy Addicts vs Dos' Destroyers
The highest ranked supercoacher in the league up against one of two teams yet to get a win. You won’t find a more one sided match this week. But who knows an upset may be on the cards.

Cousins Coke n Ice vs TRIPLE X
When I said above that you wont find a more one sided match I meant it, but this one does go close. Cousins is still looking for his first win of the campaign and this wont be an easy one for him. Hearing rumors that he has been mixing scotch with the coke and ice. This could be the reason for the poor start.

Mountalizians F.C vs $Blues
A matchup between 2 teams that cannot be split. Somewhat similar to that of a catdog. One half dog, one half cat. Im just waiting for a draw in this match.

Spinach vs FC HAWKSTOWE â€" Match of the Round
Undefeated FC Hawkstone travels to the battle Spinach at his home ground “The Olive”. This is a matchup of two of the leagues Goliaths. League leader vs second in total points.
Bonus points for anyone who knows why it’s called “The Olive”

Big Mac's Army vs Tiger of Old
It doesn’t get any easier for Big Mac with a match against the undefeated Tiger of Old. After 2 tight losses and 1 tight wn Big Mac will be desperate to get back into the winners circle.

Frogjumper vs TailsPower
Another match that is very difficult to pick. The teams are separated by .02% on the ladder. TailsPower has scored 100 more points overall over 4 rounds, but in such a close league this can be eradicated in one fell swoop.

Correct you are.

For those not knowledgeable in cult cartoon.
Popeye eats excessive amounts of Spinach to boost his strength. The reason for the Olive is that was the name of his boat.

I love to say my team name is a nostalgic reference to a treasured childhood memory..... In truth its reference to a horrendous porn movie I emailed to my boss once that made him dry retch in his office :)

*Cough* PM *Cough*

anyways all teams should have a home ground name by years end.

[YoungGun]

Great write up Lord Sneeze, doing awesome work and its great fun to read each week. Home names hahaha good idea. The Dungeon sounds like somewhere you wouldn't want to be, could become a fortress for my Destroyers. We'll have to wait, see and hope!

[DaveElNacho]

You know, of all the competitive leagues I've joined on FF this one is doing the best. Well done boys! Let's try and improve on 88 this week.
And you're killing it with the write-ups Sneeze. Love your work.

[LordSneeze]

Update will be done tomorrow morning. Bit too busy tonight.

[LordSneeze]

The season is starting to gather pace and set teams in an initial order, some are thriving under the pressure while others are failing to impress with the immense talent that this league has. WE are now entering the rounds that matter, it is trade time boys, burn them like you did effigies in Dark Souls. Those that are falling behind may need to burn more than others; while the decision for the top coaches is do you hold or trade to consolidate your lead. This is the time your decisions will make or break your team.

On other news I am enforcing a total league alcohol ban. Warning to all, don’t do a Bennell. The consequence for those that resist will be severe.

We are now left with only 1 undefeated team - Tiger of Old a truly impressive feat in such a competitive league. Now to see how long it can last. In the overall points the top 2 teams have started to kick away giving themselves a 130 point lead over 3rd place. While there is still only 370 points between 3rd and 15th, close enough that one can make it up with 1 or 2 good weeks.

Round 5 fixtures

Engineticians vs Stubbsy's Heroes
18th vs 10th, it is starting to get to panic stations for Engineticians. A win is a must otherwise it may be early season curtains.

Corkascrew vs bicsbest
Bicsbest travels to the hip new stadium of corkascrew aptly named - Thamrin Kav to take on one of the strongest coaches in the league. After sneaking a win against the lowly ranked Engineticians last time out, Bics will need to have a massive step up in disposal efficiency to cause a boilover win.

Fantasy Addicts vs WingardiumLobbeosa 
A matchup of two teams that had heartbreaking losses last time out. Will Fantasy Addicts finally breakthrough for a win.

Cousins Coke n Ice vs Terrifying Glue
Terrifying Glue lost the last time out with one of the highest scores in the league. This match looks to be perfect for a bounce back win.

Mountalizians F.C vs Dos' Destroyers
I dare you to pick a winner. These 2 teams are separated by only .39% on the ladder, both had big wins last week and have been consistely pulling big scores. Dos’s massive scores over the first few rounds is all that seperates the 2 teams on paper.

TRIPLE X vs Spinach
An 8 point match will be in progress this weekend. One team will be going 4-1 the other 3-2. Who will gain the upper hand on the ladder

Big Mac's Army vs $Blues
Big Mac needs to get a win this week, but that is looking to be a difficult task. Close losses are happening every week. Hopefully playing at his homeground the Delligatti Glickstein Oval will provide the advantage he needs.

Frogjumper vs FC HAWKSTOWE
Frogjumper will need to jump a lot higher than he has in previous weeks to have any chance of getting a win this week. FC HAWKSTONE has been in good for with only 1 loss so far for the season, that loss came last week against a very strong Spinach team.

TailsPower vs Tiger of Old â€" Match of the round
Undefeated Tiger of Old is looking at a potential banana skin match against TailsPower. The  2 teams are only separated by 64 points in overall and Tailspower has the added incentive to win, not wanting to fall 2 games behind the leader.

Good Luck, may the football be in your corner.

[Capper]

Great write ups again LS

My apologies for the 1700 in R3, can only go up form here!!

[djbics]

Absolutely brilliant write-ups Lord Sneeze, really setting the tone for such an ultra-competitive league.  With such a high standard being set, I'm pretty embarrassed about my early season form, however with a big warchest and plenty of trades available, bicsbest is (hopefully) just getting warmed up!
