Week 3 Results - UPDATED

Well here we have it.

A bit disappointing now with 4 less teams, if you're one of the non-submitted teams and you think you did submit a team fire me an email and I'll try figure it out. Amended Ted's Raiders who did in fact submit a team on Friday morning.

The race is still open as we head to Grand Final week with only approx. 1000 points seperating 1st and 14th, or the equivalent of 250 raw points. Hard to make up 250 points but not impossible.

Goodgoodgood Guys swept the league this week with most points scored for the week, most overall, and most raw points, and it looks like the fewer risks that are taken the higher the scores.

Marcz Sharkz took the biggest leap up the ladder and sits in a very good position to challenge for top honours.

As coach of Flash and Co. I can safely say I have not taken any chances on uniques for the whole finals series and it looks like it could pay off.

Cox was a thorn in everyones side so didnt matter too much this week, well except for Eagles supporters as his output was largely limited.

Swan did his usual accumulation of points and served up a tasty 732 for those that captained him.

Waters was the highest scorer of the round and found his way into most team line-ups with a much needed 420 (140) but it was in vain as the West Coast fairytale ended.

Collingwood were lucky, Hawthorn unfortunate as the pies served up a lacklustre display but still managed to sneak into the much anticipated final game of Geelong vs Collingwood. First vs second in what will hopefully be two powerhouses going all out in a beauty of a game.

A maximum of 12 pies and 12 cats for this week. A lot of hard decisions to be made after the first 5 or 6 picks from each team and captain choices could decide the whole competition.

Week 3 Update

Hi all,

Unfortunately only 14 teams submitted this week so 3 more teams now join Wet Dream...Team as drop-outs.

King of Chardonnay - were making a surge up the ladder but its now well and truely stopped
Jakes Gigalos - propping up the ladder from 2nd bottom and will continue to do so
Cameron's Crusaders -  not too much to write home about so far and now done and dusted

Mistakenly had Ted's Raiders as a non-submitted team. My apologies. 
 
Currently tabulating results so will have them up shortly

Week 2 Results

A tough week on the track for all coaches this week with congratulations going to Flash and Co. and Reece's Roosters who share top honours with a paltry 3830 (1915).

The Suckling (29) sub debacle cost a lot of coaches as did the fear of a Cox (120!) withdrawal and a hell of a lot of unlucky captain choices.

Many coaches elected to go with big NicNat (59) and it was a case of high risk NO reward as he finished the game with an incredibly low 6 touches.

There were numerous other underachievers but a lot were shared by the majority of coaches including Waters (37), Scotland (66), Betts (58), Lynch (61).

It was those that took the safest option in Murphy (111) as captain that were well rewarded as we look onto next week with a plethora of captain choices.

Spite's Might and BMWMAD took the biggest tumble down the ladder losing 8 and 9 spots respectively and scoring the two lowest scores of the week. Reece's Roosters and Swooper Troopers jumped into the top 8 making big strides and Flash and Co. has just snuck into top spot over  Ted's Raiders by 33 points.

If we look to the raw scores without the finals DT multipliers we can see Goodgoodgoodguys are top and Spite's Might still hold it down in the top 4.

Next week we have two massive games in Collingwood vs Hawthorn and Geelong vs West Coast with the race for finals DT glory still well and truely open as players scores are now multiplied 3x. It's still anyones game (well except Wet Dream...Team) so good luck everyone.

***So remember pick 6 players from each of the remaining teams, nominate a captain/vice captain and put your team name in the subject line of the team submission email. Thanks***

Week 2 Progressive Scores

A few teams did not alter their line-ups after the news of Suckling starting as sub. A * denotes one of these unlucky teams.

Spite's Might* - 1726/11
Goodgoodgoodguys - 1684/10
Harry's Heroes -  1776/11
Ted's Raiders* - 1994/11 inc. captain
Flash and Co. - 1840/11
Marcz Sharkz* - 1746/11
BMWMAD - 1802/11
Nerds FC* - 1722/11
Alex's Annihilators - 1840/11
Swooper Troopers - 1684/10
Link's Legends* - 1950/11 inc. captain
King of Chardonnay* - 1752/10 inc. captain
Pasco's Predators* - 1810/11
Kevin's Microdongs* - 1794/10 inc. captain
Reeces Roosters - 1766/10
Jake's Gigalos* - 1824/10 inc. captain
Cameron's Crusaders* - 1792/11
Wet Dream...Team - 0/22

Hopefully these are quite accurate, looks like Reece's Roosters is the front runner.

And on a side note, not one captain choice so far has topped the ton. Crazy stuff.

Team Week 2

Alright guys, teams for week 2 are in and it is already obvious we will see some unique squads among you guys.

Hawthorn have surprised us all with the naming of Franklin in the squad but its best to avoid him or at least wait til 90mins before friday nights game to send in your teams.

Sydney have not made one change which leaves Grundy out who I suspect would have been a popular choice if in.

Kerr has been added to the Eagles line-up and could provide an interesting spark against the Judder-naught midfield of Carlton, one for the risk-takers. Luckily Cox is fit to play and as far as I'm aware has not been rumoured for late-withdrawal which is a big sigh of relief for the ruck stocks.

And finally Carlton have omitted Gibbs with an A-C joint injury who will be sorely missed by all as he has been one of the rocks in defence all season.

***Please include team name in subject line of team submission email along with captain (and vice if you want) and remember scores are doubled this week so Spite's Might better watch his back***

Good Luck everyone, captain choice will be big this round. Judd, Mitchell, Murphy, Hodge, Goodes? even Priddis, Cox? or someone left field like Scotland? or Shiels? Big decisions to be made.

17 of 18 teams in.

Wet Dream...Team did not submit a team.

Results Week 1

Week 1 is over and we saw Spite's Might as the only team to eclispe the 2300 mark in what was a great effort with several popular choices having DT weekends to forget.

Cameron's Crusaders sits on the wrong end of the ladder after being the only team to suffer a donut.

Next week we have Hawthorn vs Sydney and West Coast vs Carlton so no perma-captain Swanny to choose from and captain choices should seperate a few teams.

In team submission emails could you please include your team name in the subject that would help me out a heap too thanks.

So remember 6 players from each participating team next week and 2x player scores

Week 1 Teams

Hey all,

As you probably know the week 1 team line-ups are in, with a bevvy of fantasy relevant players coming back (as we expected).

Not much movement at Geelong with only a couple of ins, albiet non-DT relevant.

The Hawks have brought back in all those that missed out last week with the likes of Franklin, Birchall, Hodge and Rioli all sure to pop up in a few of our fantasy teams.

Collingwood have welcomed back two big DT names in Davis and Shaw but are there any of us brave enough to forgive Heath this quickly or to back the dazzling Davis to produce the big numbers?

The Eagles have brought back Kerr if anyone has the kahunas to back this smokie to have a big influence on Saturday.

St Kilda and Sydney head into Saturday night with few changes and nothing to worry any DT coaches.

Carlton bring back Carrazzo who makes his return after a traffic accident scare but looks right to go but will he get a tagging role that hinders his output? Kreuzer heads back out of the team but nothing there to faze DT coaches.

And finally Essedon have made a few changes but again nothing much DT relevant.

***So guys start getting your teams and/or team adjustments in and just remember captain choices (I forgot to mention Vice but when has anyone ever needed one apart from loophole weeks). Also as long as your email is sent before the Friday night game starts it will count (even though I may not personally see it until later). You are welcome to submit your team in an email via text as long as you follow the team restrictions and player positions if you can't get a screenshot or the htm file working. Email: littlek_lkb@yahoo.com.au ***

All 18 Teams in!
Good luck eveyone.

Teams for finals DT 2011 credits to "morgs640"

Hi all,
Comment with your proposed team name for this mock of finals DT for 2011 based on an idea by morgs640 and i will list the team names on this blog. I dont think the number of people involved matters at all as there will be no head to heads so the more the merrier.

Note the rules will follow the old rules of the 2009 Finals Dreamteam ie.
There will be no emergencies or subs, select only 22 players each week from an unlimited salary with certain player restrictions noted below.

Week 1. Select 22 players from teams participating in week 1 of the finals series with a maximum of 3 players from any one team.  Players score 1x their actual score.
Week 2. A maximum of 6 players from any one team participating in week 2 of the finals series. Players score 2x their actual score.
Week 3. A maximum of 6 players from any one team participating in week 3 of the finals series. Players score 3x their actual score.
Week 4. GRAND FINAL WEEK!! A maximum of 12 players from the two grand finalist teams. Players score 4x their actual score.

Not sure on the captain situation, Please include captain choice in team selection screenshot email. Also depending on how people feel about the 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x score scenarios I will either scrap it or keep it. I guess it doesn't make much difference either way it just looks stupid getting a score of 9000+.

Everyone is welcome. If you are here I assume you already have the html file required to pick your side (if not the link is http://www.mediafire.com/?k1iikh4i2cx24we). Pick your side and take a screenshot (dont press save it deletes the team) and email it to me before lockout friday 5.40pm or before fridays game starts.
