Make a Big Call - Weekly Edition

[fanTCfool]

Last Round..all about off season movements

Big Trav goes huge, 85+ in both SC and DT
Brad Crouch and Andrew Gaff both fail with under 80 in both SC and DT.
Ed Curnow out so Bombers sneak a win
Tom Mitchell vs TheTiges...Mitchell wins 120+ in SC and DT
Sam Day kicks 5.

Better add Freeo and Pies get up. C'Mon...surely you 2 teams can get me over HD   :o

That would exceed the maximum of 5 calls T Dog! You can either choose one to replace, or cancel this latest call

Round 20 Wrap

Incorrect Calls

HappyDEZ
"At least one of Gibson, Birchall, Lewis, Hodge, Mitchell or Burgoyne is a late out vs. Dees." - There was a late out for the Hawks, but it was Mr. Frawley

"Season high 6+ goals for Walker." - 4.1 for Tex, interestingly the same as Eddie!
"Conigs goes a season best 137+ in DT." - A ton, but only 101DT for Stephen this week

King_Robbo
"Bont to go 140+" - Close, but Bont fell just shy with 133SC
"Menzel to kick 5" - Another Menzel injury, and he didn't hit the scoreboard with limited game time
"Sloane to be held to a sub 80 SC score" - Great game from Sloane in the flogging of the Lions, over 130SC again

T Dog
"6 wins by more than 10 goals this week" - Close, but not quite, only 4 x 10 goal wins this week
"Big Trav gets 5 goals" - 1.1 for Big Trav, will he ever provide a correct call?
"Tiges goalless in 2 qtrs this week" - Not this week, Tiges snuck a win over Trav's pies
"Daisy back and goes 80+ in DT and SC" - Daisy disappointing again, a fair way short of that mark
"Lions get up over a Thompson less Crows" - Would have made for a massive upset!

LaHug
"Dusty to score 200+ SC" - A decent night out for Dusty, but not too close to the 200SC mark
"Danger+ Rocky+JPK = 400+ in AF" - All 3 were pretty good, but not good enough to reached 400 points combined
"GWS vs Gold Coast to draw" - It looked possible at some stages throughout the match, but Giants prevailed.

Call of the Week
"Danger to go sub 110" - King_Robbo

Final Word:
He's playing the game brilliantly well, isn't he? HappyDEZ just keeps on keeping on, adding yet another point to the tally this week, bringing the season tally to a very impressive 15 points. T Dog has been frozen on 9 points for quite a few weeks now, perhaps Trav is holding him down? We also saw King_Robbo rocket up the leaderboard to join _wato on 4 points, after bagging two correct calls this week. Bring on Round 21.

[_wato]

Pies beat the Hawks by more than 17 points
Petrie bags less than 6 touches in his final h&a game
Rich gets 76sc exactly
Zerrett gets 160sc
Jesse Hogan kicks the sealer against the Cats after Gawn puts it down Tyson's throat who dishes to Nat Jones who puts in on a platter to Hogan where Lonergan gives away the free kick. From 45 out, he goes bang!!!!!

"SOD doubles his career tally with 4+ against the Lions." - Casboult the only blue to kick a bag of 4 or more in a loss to the Lions. Silvagni bagged a rare 3 straight.

"On Sunday the 3 home teams get up. Bombers; Tiges; Freeo" - Bombers, tick, Tiges, almost, Freo, never!

Call of the Week
"Mad Mitch Robinson goes beserk against the Blues. Tops scores in both SC and DT for the game." - T Dog

Final Word:
Only the one correct call again this week, and unsurprisingly it was our dominant leader HappyDEZ yet again adding another point to the tally, and has now nearly doubled the score of nearest rival T Dog, who's second half fade out much resembles North Melbourne. A couple of calls came close this week, but it's fairly safe to say that our leader has the title in the bag with a strong 7 point lead going into the penultimate round. 

[Torpedo10]

Dammit! I totally forgot I scored points in this in the early stages of this season! Would've put in a couple more predictions.   :P
This is great! Do it again next season FTC! Just gotta advertise it a bit more.  Thanks Goldy for my points.

Oh BTW FTC, if the Essendon GC game was low quality, what was yesterday's against the Blues?  ;)

Round 22 Wrap

Incorrect Calls

T Dog
"Mitchell tagged, goes under 70 DT and SC" - Sam Mitchell was tagged, but snuck to 70DT and a lucky 77SC
"Port get up" - Port were quite competitive in the showdown, if they got up I'm sure the fans would have gone bananas
"Sunday games 2 out of 3 home teams win" - The blues were the only home team to get the W unfortunately
"Rocky under 80 DT and SC" - Tons for Rocky in both formats again this week
"Kerridge goes large 85+ in DT and SC" - Kerridge a late out was unlucky as he could have scored well in a Blues win

HappyDEZ
"Dahl goes a season best 133+ in DT." - Dahl was disappointing against weak opposition, struggling to 80DT
"Lance goes a season best 142+ in SC." - Injury concerns for Lance meant he fell more than 100SC points shy of your predicition
"Brodie Smith goes a season best 109+ in SC." - Brodie was well and truly on track with 50SC at quarter time before being KO'd
"At least 2 Lions miss round 23 due to suspension." - No suspended Lions in yet another loss to the Cats, ready for Sauce's finale next week


Correct Calls

HappyDEZ
"Lachie Neale lays a season high 10+ tackles." - Another one! 12 tackles for Neale against the Giants worthy of yet another point (1)

Call of the Week
"Brodie Smith goes a season best 109+ in SC." - HappyDEZ

Final Word:
Our two leaders were the only two to submit entries this weekend, and almost unsurprisingly HappyDEZ managed to generate another correct Big Call, bringing the season tally to 17 with an 8 point lead over T Dog with only one round remaining. Hopefully we can finish off the final Home & Away round of the year with some more correct calls!

Haha, I just knew someone would bring it up!  :P
Neither team played well, your mob just played 'less-bad-er-er' and deserved the W

Also, it's not too late to submit entries just for today's games!

[Torpedo10]

Ooh!

Ok here we go:

Freo to get the win in Pav's Farewell
Brisbane to DEFEAT the Saints, and confirm Essendon's first wooden spoon since the 20s.
Collingwood to defeat the Hawks.
Sauce Merrett to keep his direct opposing player goalless.
Cloke to kick 5 or more goals.

If all the come off, I win this thing,  ;D

Brad Crouch and Andrew Gaff both fail with under 80 in both SC and DT.
Ed Curnow out so Bombers sneak a win
Tom Mitchell vs TheTiges...Mitchell wins 120+ in SC and DT

T Dog has come to life! 2 correct calls already this week, maybe if the Trav and Freo + Pies calls come off he could snag back the lead‽

[fanTCfool]

Pies beat the Hawks by more than 17 points
Petrie bags less than 6 touches in his final h&a game
Rich gets 76sc exactly
Zerrett gets 160sc
Jesse Hogan kicks the sealer against the Cats after Gawn puts it down Tyson's throat who dishes to Nat Jones who puts in on a platter to Hogan where Lonergan gives away the free kick. From 45 out, he goes bang!!!!!

_wato also has a correct call in the bag for the final round! It's looking like a good week for big calls!

Freo to get the win in Pav's Farewell
Brisbane to DEFEAT the Saints, and confirm Essendon's first wooden spoon since the 20s.
Collingwood to defeat the Hawks.
Sauce Merrett to keep his direct opposing player goalless.

Two-ish correct calls! (And geez I was close with the Pies)

Surely Freo is a 3-Pointer?
