Make a Big Call - Weekly Edition

[HappyDEZ]

R6.

With so many 1st choice players out, Freeo gets up and beats Adelaide.
Pav kicks a bag of 5.
Ablett doesn't get on field against Geelong.

Would love to see it happen! Shades of the good 'ol days when Fitzroy came to town & got the chocolates.

[SilverLion]

Petracca to ton up in SC on debut.
Gresham to not only break 50 for the first time, but to break 80 as well.
Hawthorn to win by exactly 3 points (Hopefully this is a big call, not sure given their last 3 weeks  :P)
Ablett to outscore Dangerfield, but the Suns to lose.
Campbell to outscore Goldy in SC.

Hey Mate,
Very pleased to have you on board for this game, but I cannot accept the statement in bold as BOG is a matter of opinion.
Feel free to adjust it, perhaps say he leads SC points or even receives the 'star' on FanFooty.

sorted

Round 6 Wrap

Incorrect Calls

BomberSam
"Luke Parker scores 160+ SC points against Brisbane." - Just 9 points off! Unlucky!
"Tom Sheridan relishes the MJ injury and scores 110+ SC points against Adelaide." - Not so close on this one unfortunately
"Collingwood lose by 65+ points against West Coast." - If only JJK could kick a little straighter!
"Essendon beat Carlton by 30+." - We were lucky to have 30 points scored between both teams combined at some stages!
"Tom Hawkins kicks 5 goals against Gold Coast." - The Tomahawk did pretty much everything else, except snag a 5th goal.

Gandalf123
"buddy kicks 7.5" - I'm sure the Swans would have much preffered this to a 3 point win!
"petracca 25+ pos & a goal" - 16 touches and no goal, a little way off here as the Dees were well beaten
"richmond vs PA ends in a draw" - Nope, not this time

T Dog
"With so many 1st choice players out, Freeo gets up and beats Adelaide." - They were a little closer than I expected, but far too inaccurate
"Pav kicks a bag of 5." - 5 scoring shots, but not the accuracy you needed from Pav
"Ablett doesn't get on field against Geelong." - A quiet second half, but he was still out there

HappyDEZ
"The final scoring shot of the match decides one of the first 2 games." - Not quite! Both the Roos and the Saints had a bit of breathing space
"Taylor Walker kicks 4 first half goals but ends the day iced up on the bench." - Nothing on the scoreboard for Tex this week
"Sauce Merrett gets cited for an incident involving Kurt Tippett." - Nope, Sauce not in the book this time
"JJK goes on the rampage against the Pies. 8+ goals." - Damn! He really could have! Poor kicking let you down here

SilverLion
"Petracca to ton up in SC on debut." - Would have been nice for the many coaches who already had him!
"Gresham to not only break 50 for the first time, but to break 80 as well." - Gresh did finally get to 50, but no 80 for him
"Hawthorn to win by exactly 3 points" - Nope, a GWS demolition!
"Ablett to outscore Dangerfield, but the Suns to lose." - Unfortunately, neither part of this got up

SydneyRox
"Dogs to win despite Brown/Petrie kicking 10goals between them" - No win for the Doggies this time round
"Barlow 200SC vs Crows" - He was pretty good, but not too close to 200
"Swans to win by 100+" - Not quite!
"Buddy to kick more than 13 goals" - If this happened, I'd be nearly certain that the one above this would have too
"Peter Wright measured and found to actually be 199cm" - Not that I'm aware of! He didn't get near the ball, let alone a measuring tape

Torpedo10
"Liberatore top SC scorer against North." - No one was passing Hunter's 150+ score
"Bulldogs by more than four goals." - Almost the opposite for this one


Correct Calls

Gandalf123
"GWS beats hawthorn" - Back-to-back wins against the Hawks! If you put a big margin on it, I could have awarded more points! (1)

HappyDEZ
"GWS by 30+"  - A bigger call than Gandalf's as a margin was included! 2 Points! (2)

SilverLion
"Campbell to outscore Goldy in SC." - WOW! Surely no one saw this coming! A Massive call! (3)

Torpedo10
"Goldy to go Sub 90 against the Dogs." - Bingo! A very big call as he had been running pretty hot! (2)

Call of the Week
"Peter Wright measured and found to actually be 199cm" - SydneyRox

Final Word
4 new names welcomed to the leaderboard this week, with first time entrant SilverLion producing a massive call to join LaHug on top of the leaderboard. Interestingly, LaHug did not enter any calls for this week - how complacent! We now have 7 people with points next to their name, but no one has had more than one call correct so far! Will that change next week?

Entries for Round 7 now open, the rolling lockout will apply, but will be abolished after the conclusion of this round.

[LaHug]

I didn't have any calls to make. I'll make big calls when my gut brings them up. It may happen again this week... or it may not.

[jvalles69]

I'll have a crack at round 7.

- Brisbane to beat Power by 2+ goals
- Boak to pump out a 120+ score
- Goldy won't crack 100
- Ablett to go 140+

Stoked that one of my calls got up, was looking good on a couple of others at one point as well  ;)

Round 7
- Richmond to beat the Hawks by 2 goals+
- Sydney to finish with a score at least double Essendon's.
- Ablett to be the highest scoring player in SC of the round.
- Brisbane by 31 points+ over Port (was going to say 30, but since GoLions got in early, will have to make it slightly different ;))

[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
