"The Weekend Wash-Up" AFL Fantasy Draft Review + Summary!
Hi Everyone,
Round 10 is completed!
Which of course means 9 games down for our Draft league as we didn't play Round 1 and 6 more to go.
It was a tougher Round for scoring this time Round and my team in particular was pushed very close.
Results:
As touched on above I (@dahmsy79) had a tough game against the Picks who courtesy of Geary and her GWS boys, she threw everything but the kitchen sink at me.
Fortunately Angus Brayshaw just went nuclear putting up a 166 on Sunday and helping me stay undefeated, winning 1513 to 1454.
The Picks maintains 6th spot on the ladder and did her Premiership credentials no harm with that effort.
Little Old Lady moved a game clear in the Top 4 with a dominant 1450 to 996 victory over an undermanned Kulate.
Heath Shaw wound back the clock with a 123 whilst the Old Lady continues to get great service from Devon Smith who cracked the ton again.
DBLSTR kept his top 8 hopes alive by cashing in against a bye effected Mmeow 1274 - 951.
Mmeow's percentage took a hit but it is still good enough to hold her spot in the Top 8.
Steemit Huskies is enjoying a nice season and moved into 5th on the ladder after defeating Brockies Superstars 1289 - 1098.
The Huskies Defence struggled but his strong Midfield of Mitchell, Ross, Phillips and Hopper picked up the slack and got the Huskies home for another win.
The Mighty Fitzroy lions has been on the march lately and his good form continued but it didn't all go smoothly against a very competitive Farqers.
The Farqers Geelong boys Danger and Menegola led the way and threatened an upset.
In the end despite a misfiring forward line the Lions Midfield guns Treloar and Heppell helped him hang on.
The Mighty Lions are now just %0.62 off a spot in the 8.
In a very competitive match a Toby Mclean inspired Lions4Life tried hard to cause the upset against 2nd placed Piston Broke but alas could not stay with him.
Zaharakis and Brody Grundy just keep doing the job for the Pistons and they maintain 2nd spot winning 1415 - 1245.
Injuries and players on the Bye conspired to ruin Cunning Stunts is Back Again's chances this week but even if he was at full strength, he would of struggled to get the Bounty against Lockout (@o07) this week.
Lockout put up a massive 1496 to just 909 so some nice percentage pocketed for him.
He has a deadly midfield combo of Zorko, Caddy, Oliver, Hunter, Duncan and the interchangeable much improved Ed Langdon from Freo.
Lockout remains 4th on percentage.
In our last game of the Round I Wear Footy Pajamas bounced back from his loss last week to show he is not going away this year.
The Footy Pajamas with some help from his star studded midfield put up a big 1488 to take down Medhurst Minion's 1386.
It should also be noted the Pajamas lost Brown to injury during the game which meant only a score of 9 from him.
If not for Brown's injury the Pajamas could of been our top scorer for this week.
The Pajamas moves into 7th spot on the ladder.
So with 6 games to play for the season now the Top 8 looks like this:
Now we are moving into the business end of the year I will start taking a look forward at the Top 8 shaping games in the week ahead.
We now have:
6th placed Playing For Draft Picks is only 1 game ahead of DBLSTR in 11th so this one is a genuine 8 point game.
Crunch game for both there.
We have a ripping 3rd v 5th contest with Little Old Lady taking on Steemit Huskies.
Only 1 game and less than %2 seperate them on the ladder.
Mmeow will be desperate for the win over an improved Farqers as she is only just clinging to her spot in the 8 by a small amount of percentage.
Its last chance saloon for Brockies Superstars against 2nd on the ladder Piston Broke.
The dreaded mathematical chance is starting to disappear for Brockies team
Its a big week for Mighty Fitzroy Lions as he has a shot at the Bounty and a spot in the Top 8.
The Mighty Lions meets our Co Founder and 4th placed Lockout (@o07).
I Wear Footy Pajamas will look to further consolidate his spot in the Top 8 against a desperate to stay in touch Cunning Stunts is Back Again.
Good Luck on the injury front this week and I will back Wednesday with the dreaded injury report.
Thanks for reading :)
This has been so much fun! Exciting to be in the top 8. Hoping to keep that alive this week!
I'm sure it will be even better next season as more active players come on board and you pick up some of the nuances of the comp
Absolutely lads, bigger and better in 2019!
