2 out of Lewis, Stratton, Duryea & Frawley (all Hawks) get cited for high contact/striking. Unsociable Hawks  >:(.

Drew Petrie kicks 5 goals in his 300th game this week
West Coast win away from home at Simmonds Stadium.
Freeo finally get a win against GWS.

[fanTCfool]

[LaHug]

Both Parker and Hannebery to get 140+ in AF/DT
Jack Viney to crack 130 in AF/DT
Swans to have 9+ SC tons (for reference, that's how many Geelong had in a 120+ point drubbing)
Geelong's lowest AF score to be less than 10 points under Priddis' score (e.g. if Priddis gets 60, Geelong's lowest score will be 50+)
There will be 0 AF/DT tons in the Richmond vs. Hawthorn game

Priddis - 89, Lowest Cat - 14

Whoops!

[Sabretooth Tigers]

Round 7 Wrap

Incorrect Calls

jvalles69
"Brisbane to beat Power by 2+ goals" - Brisbane was a popular pick this week, but no such luck
"Boak to pump out a 120+ score" - I'd have been assuming this to be SC, but he didn't crack 120 in either format despite a good game
"Goldy won't crack 100" - Damn! If it wasn't for that 'golden point' Goldy may well have stayed under 100, unlucky!
"Ablett to go 140+" - The 'big response' from Ablett many were expecting wasn't there on the weekend

SydneyRox
"Saints Over North" - Almost! A game that went down to the wire but just went the wrong way this time.
"Buddy to kick 10+ (He is due)" - Buddy is leading the Coleman, but no big bag of 10 this week!
"Delidio+Martin < Mitchell in SC on Friday Night" - Even if SMitch did play, he would have needed a monster 180 to better those two
"Stevie J 5 Goals" - 5 scoring shots, but only the 2 goals as GWS shared the load

GoLions
"Lions by 30+ over Port" - No such luck with the skipper going down again!
"Ablett 160+ in SC" - Gaz still yet to have the big score many have hoped for
"Freo finally get their first win against GWS, and Eddie shuts his mouth about the academy stuff being OP for a week" - Ross the Boss has lead Freo astray, no W for them!
"Collingwood vs Carlton ends in a draw" - Nope! The mighty bluebaggers prevailed!
"Sir Daniel of Caleb returns, picking up the cherry icon in the FF live scores with a DT score of 100+" - Would have been nice for the UTG, but Caleb was a little quiet on Saturday Night

Holz
"Brad Crouch out and pumps out a 100+ score (DT & SC)" - Not a heap of involvement for Brad on Saturday Night kept both scores low
"Hall racks up 100+ DT but goes sub 100 in SC" - Unlucky! 97 DT from Hall although he did stay under 100 SC, just one kick short!
"Franklin tops scores in the game (SC) over parker hanners jpk etc.." - JPK just had Buddy covered, but it was young Heeney who took the top score
"Lynch (GC) to kick 7 or more" - An accurate bag of 4, a big second half from the Suns and a 7 might have been on the cards
"Wright outscores Aaron Hall" - Not in either format! Sorry Holz!

SilverLion
"Richmond to beat the Hawks by 2 goals+" - Tiges on the losers list this week, again!
"Ablett to be the highest scoring player in SC of the round." - A big man from the same game had 'Bald Jesus' covered
"Brisbane by 31 points+ over Port" - Similar call, same result, no win for the Lions this time
"Blicavs to be the highest scoring Ruckman in SC of the round." - Big Maxy wasn't letting that get up!

LaHug
"Both Parker and Hannebery to get 140+ in AF/DT" - Both Parker and Hanners were under the 140 mark this week
"Jack Viney to crack 130 in AF/DT" - A big knock near the end of the game made sure this one didn't get up
"Swans to have 9+ SC tons" - Only the 4 SC tons for the Swannies!
"Geelong's lowest AF score to be less than 10 points under Priddis' score" - McCarthy going down early prevented this one!
"There will be 0 AF/DT tons in the Richmond vs. Hawthorn game" - A few Hawks and Anthony Miles just snuck over the 100 DT mark

AaronKirk
"Buddy to equal or surpass the VFL/AFL record of 18 goals in a game" - Would have made for some great viewing!
"Pendles to go 150+ in a return to top form" - Almost! Pendles ended up with 143, just 7 short!
"West Coast to knock off Geelong" - The Eagles were never really in it unfortunately
"Sam Mitchell to have 45+ disposals with no one going anywhere near him." - No one was near SMitch, he was stuck in the stands!

Big Mac
"Petracca 100+ in SC" - Got pretty close! Just 14 points shy
"Tiges to beat Hawks" - Nope! Hawks got well away in the last
"Essendon to lead Sydney at 3QT" - Game was done and dusted by 3QT with the Swans a long way in front
"Viney to beat Ablett in kicks, handballs, tackles, marks and contested possessions" - Only the kicks and marks let you down here
"Oliver to crack the ton in SC" - A pretty good score from Clayton, but, like Petracca, he was a few points off

HappyDEZ
"Callum Mills gets his first SC ton." - In the 30s this week, not a good one for Callum!

Correct Calls

SydneyRox
"Beams to play and outscore Rocky in SC" - Correct! A difficult one to mark, as Rocky has been injured and a little down on form, so just the one point this time. (1)

SilverLion
"Sydney to finish with a score at least double Essendon's." - This was correct, but based on the form of the two teams, and that the Swans were at home, I'm going to be very harsh and say that this is not a big enough call to score - Sorry! (0)

AaronKirk
"Rocket Eade to give the suns a "rocket" and go off his nut when they are getting smashed by Melbourne." - Smashed by the Dees, despite being at home - no doubt Rocket Eade would have unleashed a spray! 2 Points, mainly for the second element (2)

HappyDEZ
"Port win by 60+" - Yep! a 77 point win - a Very Big call! (2)

Call of the Week
"Rocket Eade to give the suns a "rocket" and go off his nut when they are getting smashed by Melbourne." - AaronKirk

Final Word
Congratulations to HappyDEZ who is the first entrant to have a second, valid correct call! Consequently, we have a new face atop the Leaderboard, overtaking LaHug and SilverLion. We now have 9 names on the leaderboard, but no one is out of the race yet! For that very reason, new entrants are still welcome to get involved!

The 'rolling lockout' system has now been given the flick, so if any late changes impact your big calls, it's just bad luck - Sorry!
Please do not edit your posts after the bounce on Friday Night, or all of your entries will be disqualified as it is possible that you have adjusted a call unfairly.

Entries for Round 8 are now open, and I have a feeling it's gonna be a good week for Big Calls!  ;D
