The Rising Star and Team of the Week honours also return once again in 2018! It's a grand ol' time for everyone involved so tell all your friends.
Round 1
Rising Star
With a list full of young guns, it's no surprise they've got the first nomination of 2018. Getting rewarded this week in Riley Bonner who amassed a huge 119 to start the year on the best note possible.
Team of the Week
A lot of familiar faces to kick off the year but that's not interesting. Riley Bonner does the double of picking up the Rising Star nom and making TOTW while Blake Acres showed he might be primed to break out. A number of players who changed clubs in the off-season had strong club debuts and one of the best forwards in the comp gets captaincy honours.
D: Kade Simpson (Toronto), Rory Laird (Pacific), Riley Bonner (Buenos Aires), Jake Lloyd (New Delhi)
M: Tom Mitchell [vc] (Pacific), Luke Parker (Christchurch), Dyson Heppell (Moscow), Dustin Martin (Dublin)
R: Max Gawn (Berlin)
F: Lance Franklin [c] (Berlin), Blake Acres (Moscow), Justin Westhoff (Dublin), Jack Billings (PNL)
I: Jack Steven (New Delhi), David Zaharakis (Cairo)
Coach: Holz (Dublin)
Buddy 8) superstar
150 with No Danger and no TOTW members 8)
Round 2
Rising Star
They've done it again! The Dillos get back to back Rising Star nominees as Tom Doedee gets 115 to almost match his teammate's effort a week prior. These young Dillos defenders mean business. Can they get a hattrick with another nomination next week?
Team of the Week
Once again, a forward takes the top honour of being captain - TJ Lynch had a big week. Despite their teams struggling early with 0-2 starts, Cairo's Jeff Garlett, New Delhi's Jeremy Howe and Mexico City's Jarryn Geary make it in. Pacific flex a little with three representatives in Laird, Lyons and Mitchell while despite their mammoth effort, Seoul only have Clayton Oliver in the team with their ruck Ben McEvoy pipped by a point by Beijing's Brodie Grundy.
D: Shannon Hurn (New York), Jarryn Geary (Mexico City), Jeremy Howe (New Delhi), Rory Laird (Pacific)
M: Dustin Martin [vc] (Dublin), Jarryd Lyons (Pacific), Ed Curnow (Buenos Aires), Tom Mitchell (Pacific)
R: Brodie Grundy (Beijing)

Round 3
Rising Star
You know when you just have a really good week where just about everything goes right? Yeah, well that happened to New Delhi as even one of their kids in Sam Murray was able to notch a 95 to help them post a quality score.
Team of the Week
A midfielder finally assumes captaincy, but with a forward as his vice for the first time this year as Nat Fyfe reminds us of how good he is. London and PNL both managed to have two representatives each, and even Mexico City had one in Lachie Hunter. Shane Savage of Cairo is clearly enjoying his time at a new club while perhaps the most fascinating point of the week is three rucks having an absolute field day to feature.
D: Bailey Williams (Pacific), Jack Crisp (Moscow), Shane Savage (Cairo), Luke Ryan (PNL)
M: Nat Fyfe [c] (Berlin), Tom Mitchell (Pacific), Lachie Hunter (Mexico City), Jarryd Lyons (Pacific)
R: Brodie Grundy (Beijing)
F: Jonathon Patton [vc] (PNL), Michael Walters (Berlin), Sam Gray (London), Sam Menegola (New Delhi)
I: Stefan Martin (New Delhi), Callum Sinclair (London)
Coach: elechet (New Delhi)
Foife!
And yes, three rucks is crazy :o
Murray!
Brodie Grundy B2B.
Still quietly hoping Ridley & Giro will get about for me this year.
In terms of who I think will win it? Bonner looks likely to me.

Banfield for sure.
Mooooray is only just getting started
I should start playing henry. Might jag a nom got 93 last week
Finlayson has been robbed!
Round 4
Rising Star
Absolute scenes this week as the best performing rookie was left to ply his trade in the reserves, meaning that Toronto's Alex Witherden and his 103 take out the nomination for this round. Jaidyn Stephenson might want to speak to his coach about a run in the seniors.
Team of the Week
Brandan Parfitt is the surprise captain this week with Ben Brown as his vice. Speaking of, Cairo's run of at least one representative per week continues, but this time they have two. New Delhi are well represented with four members of their squad featuring, while Beijing's Brodie Grundy appears to have a stranglehold over the ruck spot, although Christchurch's Aaron Sandilands' did well to make it in too.
D: Elliott Yeo (Rio), Rory Laird (Pacific), Matt Suckling (Pacific), Jeremy McGovern (Cairo)
M: Jaeger O'Meara (Rio), Dustin Martin (Dublin), Steele Sidebottom (New Delhi), Jack Ziebell (New Delhi)
R: Brodie Grundy (Beijing)
F: Ben Brown [vc] (Cairo), Robbie Gray (New Delhi), Luke Breust (Beijing), Sam Menegola (New Delhi)
I: Brandan Parfitt [c] (Seoul), Aaron Sandilands (Christchurch)

He can ead after scoring 30 the week before tbh
Dublin only the 1x rep this week, after none last week and 1 the week before. It's looking pretty bleak over in Ireland atm

That stat is waaaay too hard to find out haha
You’d have to just comb the previous TOTW threads to find out.
Also, this stuff should go up tomorrow at some point.
Round 5
Rising Star
This almost feels overdue, but Cape Town young gun Jaidyn Stephenson helped himself to a handy 88 to earn the nomination for Round 5. It wasn't without a bit of luck though, as five of his peers performed better for their reserves team.
Team of the Week
The captain for the week comes from Tokyo, as Seb Ross puts his hand up. The Brett Deledio of old surfaced for vice captaincy, while Toronto's defenders nearly swept the TOTW defence, but Christchurch's Harris Andrews had a surprising cameo. It also isn't often we see Patrick Dangerfield only scrape in to the interchange. Adamant is the deserving coach, with Toronto head and shoulders above the rest.
D: Kade Simpson (Toronto), Harris Andrews (Christchurch), Alex Witherden (Toronto), Scott Thompson (Toronto)
M: Seb Ross [c] (Tokyo), Nat Fyfe (Berlin), Patrick Cripps (Rio), Ben Cunnington (Cape Town)
R: Max Gawn (Berlin)
F: Brett Deledio [vc] (Dublin), Robbie Gray (New Delhi), Isaac Heeney (New York), Luke Breust (Beijing)
I: Patrick Dangerfield (Seoul), Andrew Gaff (Pacific)
Coach: Adamant (Toronto)
Round 6
Rising Star
Getting the recognition for being the shining rookie light this week is Harry Morrison who dished up a 95 to show that he's a talent for now and the future. But he was a late in, so it almost didn't happen. Will his coaches take the hint? He'd hope so.
Team of the Week
Some nice variety in representation this week as 13 different teams were represented. That might well be a record. Only Rio and London, two unlikely options to have multiple members make it. Max Gawn took captaincy, while Lachie Neale was vice and Pacific's coaches get rewarded for their consistency.
D: Jeremy Howe (New Delhi), Shannon Hurn (New York), Luke Brown (Rio), Jimmy Webster (Buenos Aires)
M: Lachie Neale [vc] (Beijing), Adam Treloar (Moscow), Marcus Bontempelli (Pacific), Isaac Smith (Seoul)
R: Max Gawn [c] (Berlin)
F: Justin Westhoff (Dublin), Mitch Robinson (Cairo) Tom T Lynch (London), Sam Gray (London)
I: Patrick Cripps (Rio), Jack Macrae (Toronto)
Coach: Jay & upthemaidens (Pacific)
Tom Rockliff, cousin of Harry Morrison
flower I love gawn and fyfe
Round 7
Rising Star
In a season where they don't have a lot to smile about, Mexico City would be thrilled to know that Jack Graham is the Round 7 rising star nominee thanks to his massive 131 which helped his team post a respectable total.
Team of the Week
A very interesting team this week as Jack Macrae's monster effort meant that Zorko's return to form only scored him vice captaincy, Sandilands winding back the clock and of the 8 defenders that tonned up this week, the top scorer was named as a forward due to dual position eligibility, and the 4th and 7th best scoring defenders both playing reserves. Nothing like a bit of drama.
D: Rory Laird (Pacific), Elliot Yeo (Rio), Jimmy Webster (Buenos Aires), Shannon Hurn (New York)
M: Jack Macrae [c] (Toronto), Dayne Zorko [vc] (Beijing), Josh P Kennedy (Berlin), Toby McLean (Christchurch)
R: Aaron Sandilands (Christchurch)
F: James Sicily (Mexico City), Jack Darling (New Delhi), Jesse Hogan (Toronto), Jordan De Goey (Moscow)
I: Nat Fyfe (Berlin), Ed Curnow (Buenos Aires)

Sorry nige, he got cut off my copy and paste! But Macrae is our rightful captain of the week.
Get some ZORK on your FORK
TOTW should have each players score next to their name, and then the team total
Would be good to see which week was the highest week for the year on reflection
Kind of feels pointless without the scores tbh

I don't quite get what the point of naming a TOTW even is tbh
Will only last for 1 week RD so happy to take it ;)
Round 8
Rising Star
The nomination this week goes to a young lad by the name of Ben Ronke who should be in Egypt still but one of their co-coaches is incredibly foolish, so instead he helped Berlin with a lovely 120, absolutely splendid.
Team of the Week
Jack Macrae goes back to back in top scoring and being the TOTW captain, is there a new king in town? For the second time this season, three rucks get in two the team with Gawn and Grundy filling out the interchange as Sandilands assumes the ruck throne. James Harmes shines through as an unlikely forward line leader followed by three of New Felhi's front four. Buenos Aires duo MacMillan and Webster stand side by side in the defence, with Moscow's Matt Scharenberg leading the way down back.

Nice to finally get the top score of the week as well!
Sandi didn't assume the ruck throne, he was already on the ruck throne. He's not getting off.
RONKE!
Round 9
Rising Star
The future certainly is bright at Buenos Aires getting another nomination through Oliver Florent and his 76. Just how many more could the Dillos possibly get? There's still plenty of rounds left and they have plenty of kids to put their hand up, that's for sure.
Team of the Week
Our captain this week is the form forward of the competition in New Delhi's Jack Darling, while Jack Macrae continues his reign as the premier midfielder. Jarrod Witts shakes up the ruck scene. Meanwhile, some of the old men proved they've still got it. It was also a great week for those whose first names started with J, with 8 of the 15 representatives in the team, including the entire backline, the captain and vice captain being in this little club.
D: Jake Lloyd (New Delhi), Jarrod Harbrow (PNL), Jarrad McVeigh (Christchurch), Jeremy McGovern (Cairo)
M: Jack Macrae [vc] (Toronto), Tom Mitchell (Pacific), Patrick Cripps (Rio), Aaron Hall (Rio)
R: Jarrod Witts (Pacific)
F: Jack Darling [c] (New Delhi), Jarrad Waite (Christchurch), Ben Brown (Cairo), Travis Boak (Toronto)
I: Touk Miller (Cape Town), Nick Holman (Dublin)
Coach: meow meow (Christchurch)
Jack Henry this was your week to step up and take the award.
Pretty happy with Holman though, a really good depth player, should get DPP too.

Including the coach. Not sure if I've ever taken out top coach award. I remember Moscow scored 178 or something in the finals but TOTW wasn't a thing then and we only had to best 3 other scores so that doesn't count.
Ablett with just 55 this week. We're just warming up and I don't expect that I'll be dethroned for the rest of the season.

You wont last a week
Well done Wittsy, he's a bit of a yo-yo at the moment. Wouldn't be that surprised if he makes another Team of the Week.
Round 11
Rising Star
At this point, Buenos Aires are racking up rising star nominations for fun! Cameron Rayner is the nominee for Round 11 thanks to a very respectable 89 which is a sign of things to come for the talented youngster.
Team of the Week
Tom McDonald and Tom Bellchambers (and Tom Mitchell) prove it's a good week to be named Tom. The unrelated McDonald in Luke from Cape Town also makes an appearance. Speaking of, a lot of different faces to the usual ones we may have become accustomed to, but yet again Max Gawn and Brodie Grundy make the team, filling out the interchange, marking yet another occasion where three rucks have made it in.
D: Tom McDonald [c] (Dubin), Luke McDonald (Cape Town), Brayden Maynard (Rio), Shannon Hurn (New York)
M: Mitch Duncan (Cape Town), Tom Mitchell (Pacific), Sam Kerridge (Cairo), Joel Selwood (Dublin)
R: Tom Bellchambers [vc] (Toronto)
F: Shane Edwards (Buenos Aires), Jesse Hogan (Toronto), Josh J Kennedy (New York), Tim Membrey (London)
I: Max Gawn (Berlin), Brodie Grundy (Beijing)
Coach: Holz (Dublin)
Round 10 RS and TOTW to come after Purps posts the results.
Round 10
Rising Star
You could make a case this lad is the beneficiary of a few injuries, but when that gives you a chance then you should make the most of it. That's exactly what Jack Henry did with a 99 to win the nomination for the round.
Team of the Week
Highlighting the big week that Cairo had is Mitch Robinson as captain, while teammates Dayne Beams and Tom Stewart also find their place. Two old heads lead the defenders while Brodie Grundy continues to remind everyone he's one of the top rucks in 2018. The hybrid mid/forward types rule the forward line and another ruck in Moscow's Matthew Kreuzer finds himself on the interchange.
D: Heath Shaw (Christchurch), Kade Simpson (Toronto), Luke Ryan (PNL), Tom Stewart (Cairo)
M: Nat Fyfe [vc] (Berlin), Ollie Wines (Beijing), Dayne Beams (Cairo), Stephen Coniglio (Moscow)
R: Brodie Grundy (Beijing)
F: Mitch Robinson [c] (Cairo), Josh Caddy (Beijing), Michael Walters (Berlin), Isaac Heeney (New York)
I: Matthew Kreuzer (Moscow), Andrew Gaff (Pacific)
Coach: Nige & MajorLazer (Cairo)
Great to see so many different coaches of the week this year!
And Fyfe and Gawn (Round 11) as usual 8)
Nice work jack
Turning into a decent player.
Finally got the OP up to date for anyone interested.
9 different coaches (or pairs of co-coaches) of the week in the past 9 rounds!
That's nuts!

That's a lot of work there nige, really appreciate it :)
Gawn 5 v Grundy 6. I need this to change tomorrow
And Cairo with the most representations huh? Cool! New York with just the 3 is interesting.
Big Brodes! Setting the pace for TOTW appearances 8)
Yeah it's no surprise we don't have many players who pump out the really big scores to make TOTW, but we have a pretty even contribution and good depth, so we don't rely on 2-3 players like other teams might - good and bad I know, but we're going along nicely :)
Round 12
Rising Star
You know, it's pretty impressive that Buenos Aires have now racked up their 5th nomination for the season. It's also scary that a fairly young team is posting some solid scores and getting some wins here and there. The young fella getting rewarded for his efforts this round is Adam Cerra with a 114 that stands out as a good effort for any player.

Spud couldn't even land a Util(Ruck) spot
Round 14
Rising Star
This week, the nomination goes the way of a second year player who may be finally about to make his mark. Will Brodie put up a 78 in a sign that he might be building into the player PNL would be desperate for him to become.

Good team of the week this one. No Pie

Good team of the week this one. No Pie
and yet i posted a 162,
thats a terrible sign for the competition.
Doedee - 14 senior games + 1 reserves game @ 86.87
Withergun - 15 senior games @ 85.13
Looks like a two-horse race for the WXV Rising Star. Witho needs to outscore Doedee by 27 points over the final two rounds to come out on top on the averages. Doedee conveniently gets to exclude his 59 from AFL round 13 in his average while Witho misses out on his 78 from AFL round 11, otherwise would only need to make up 8 points over the final two rounds. Who wins it from here?

Neither are getting a vote from me. Is a first year player award in my mind. Stepho is the man.
I'll knock out rounds 15 and 16 together once Purps hooks me up with the info. Stay tuned.
Coz I'm OCD, and it needs to be complete.
Round 15
