Eh.

O'Keefe & Sylvia pulling out cost me a Grand Final.

Re: H.sun supercoach

After finishing 14th in my woof league and 13th in my DT I'm now in both minor grand finals- not a bad result considering I won 3 games for the year in SC haha.

O'Keefe out hurt me, and I didn't know Ryder was out so I got a zero on that one. Williams was awful and on the whole I didn't have a lot of high scores. I was going to trade out J.Brown (still have 10 trades in DT) as I wasn't sure if he would get up this week, decided to keep him and I'm so glad I did.

Re: H.sun supercoach

WELL!

I wake up this morning in one Grand Final (The Doggies League) and knocked out at the Prelim stage in my other league (WOOF4).

It was a fascinating weekend, with multiple last-minute selection changes by itchy-fingered AFL coaches meaning that the possibilities of copping a '0' were high. I'm relatively surprised at the results of both my Prelims, as The Doggies League is a far stronger league overall than WOOF4, yet I've made the Grannie in the former while losing a prelim in the latter. It just goes to show that in footy, as in life, timing is everything.

Observations -- NFI, who knocked me out in the WOOF4 prelim, should never have met me at this stage anyway -- we were the two top scoring teams in the league and should have met in the GF. Unfortunately, NFI's opponent in week 1 of the finals pulled the game of their lives out of their butt to beat NFI, forcing Shawn to win his Semi-final and front up to a prelim with the minor premier, which he then proceeded to knock off in a high-scoring prelim. Neither of the participants in the other Prelim broke 2000 so its fair to say that this was the real grand final, and NFI should go on to avenge his Week 1 loss and win the Grannie easily, but stranger things have happened.

In The Doggies League, it was a tight tustle and I was sure I was going to lose both my Prelims at one stage, as befits a die-hard Dogs supporter, but a last-minute '0' to Mantis (and J.Brown taking 16 contested marks and kicking 4.6 in one of the great performances of the round) saw me squeeze out a very, very narrow (and lucky) victory, and bestow on him the honour of losing a Prelim, doggy-style.. Interestingly, both Grand Finalists in The Doggies League scored exactly the same number of points in our respective Prelims, so it promises to be a tight and exciting tustle, with no quarter asked or given.

You are all invited to the Grand Final Parade down Ramsay Street, Burwood East, 12:00pm this Friday, which will prominently feature a dog wearing a hat and three chickens riding on the back of a horse, not to mention a free flow of non-alcoholic beer and two hot women wearing a lot of clothes. Par-tay!

Re: H.sun supercoach

Was just coming on to say bad luck to you Lantern, i (NFI) was seriously worried after losing week 1 knowing that i would be facing you in the prelim, turned out to be a blessing in disguise as this week i had a blinder. Very happy getting 2294 with 1 donut (O'Keefe), Pav and Sandi on the bench, Coons 9, Eski's 39 and having Trengrove's 40 instead of NicNat's 82 covering for Sandi.

Loving the Grand Final parade down Ramsay Street lol, has a team ever boycotted it before? i vaguely remember West Coast wanted to one year, i am going to have to miss it this year though, a flight from Cambodia would be far to disrupting to my Grand Final preparations.

Good luck to everyone in their respective Grand Finals

Re: H.sun supercoach

well my brother managed to beat me in all 3 of my prelims (ofcourse), so he goes thru to the doggies league grand final against lantern....sure to be a great contest.

Good luck to all those playing in their respective grand finals.

Re: H.sun supercoach

Sandilands, Cooney, Pavlich and O'Keefe were enough to see me exit stage right.

The irony was that I started with Jolley, hung onto him while his price plummented, finally offloaded him for Sandi in a move that cost me a heap of cash and a trade and ultimately contributed to getting knocked out!

Who would be the Avatars in WoofFootballLeague of Dreamteam? I'm the Mighty Heart, playing you in the Grand Final this week...good luck =]

Re: H.sun supercoach

I had no trades left & Hodge doesn't play, let's hope Stratton can pull something out of the bag.

Not sure, but they dominated the season until late, going from 11-0 to 13-2. You outscored them in the prelim after taking care of that pesky 8th place finisher that knocked me out , so you've got to be in with a chance

Interesting start to my SC GF with no players from my side playing tonight, and Doc26 having huge scores from Pav & Sandi but ordinary ones from Waite & Warnock.

We both have 2 starting emergencies and are 1 player down, I think the points of difference are slightly against me but there won't be much in it:

Gilbert v Gilbee
Waters v Waite (63)
Hargrave v Hurn
Selwood v Swan
Howlett v Harwood
Cox v Sandilands (127)
Port Trengove v Warnock (50)
Gia v Pavlich (142)
Rockliff v Kelly
Dennis-Lane v P Davis

Re: H.sun supercoach

Geelong make three late changes, one of them Enright & he is my captain

I just traded him in this week!

[DOG GOD]

Re: H.sun supercoach

I think my bro said he was 4 short in his grand final against Lantern in the doggies league...and he has Enright as well to add to that

Re: H.sun supercoach

Missing Hodge, Enright, Selwood, Cooney and JBrown in my GF for 3 donuts :/ i only have two reserves playing and they are both in the ruck one was NicNat -104 and had bloody Warnock - 50 on the field. I think i may be in trouble

[boydogs]

Re: H.sun supercoach

Yep well and truly on the back foot now with Selwood & Enright late withdrawals. Doc26 only has Enright, and he got 142 out of James Kelly. Long way back from here

No doubt a round for dodging as many bullets as possible but more importantly the point of difference players. GAJ as Cap cancelled each other out. Cooney, Hodge, Enright, Brown cancel each other out. I got hit by Dids where you got burnt with Pods and Mummy. The late exclusion of Selwood was a big hit to you. All the best with the remaining games.
