Make a Big Call - Weekly Edition

[LaHug]

They're going to be fun to mark when I get around to them LaHug, heaps of things to factor in  :-\

Just imagine if I'd called 45+ and two goalless quarters?! They'd be four pointers! Unfortunately, my crystal ball is a bit dusty...

I'd very much appreciate any sort of crystal ball when it comes to picking forward premos next year,

Wells
Tippett
Dahlhaus (the week he got injured RIP)

The one bloke I don't have, Merrett, is tearing it up!

As an Essendon man, I can feel your sympathies.

Round 15

Incorrect Calls

T Dog
"Big Ivan monsters Port. 80+ in both SC and DT" - 39 Hit Outs for big Ivan, but almost nothing else, 51 in both formats
"Big Trav nails the blues with 5 goals" - Not a single goal for Big Trav against the Blues
"Pies clobber Caaaaaaaaaarrrrrrllllltn by 50 +" - A horrible, low scoring game. Pies scrapped a win where both sides combined for just 102 points

Correct Calls

None! How Sad  :'(

Call of the Week
"Big Trav nails the blues with 5 goals" - T Dog

Final Word:
A particularly quiet week for Big Calls, with only T Dog sending in entries, all of which were unsuccessful. An unchanged leaderboard means that T Dog remains out in front by a point, as he has for many weeks now. With the byes behind us, hopefully we will see some more big calls coming off in the run home!

Well this topic is in the SC section so take a punt :)

Round 16 Wrap

Incorrect Calls

T Dog
"Big Trav nails the giants with 5 goals" - Trav! The man himself snagged 4.1 against the Giants, so close!
"On Saturday the 4 away teams get up..Pies; Lions; Tiges; Dockers" - Pies, perhaps the least likely of the 4, were the only ones to get up
"Bombers sneak a win on Sunday" - Very nearly! Another respectable loss for the Dons
"Port / Hawks slug out a draw" - Hawks got home, perhaps not as comfortably as they would have liked

LaHug
"Rockliff and Steven combine for 300+ in AF/DT" - Steven did his bit with 158DT, but Rocky let the team down here
"Jesse Hogan kicks 7+ goals" - Hogan 4.2, most of which was into junk time
"Parker and Selwood combine for 80+ disposals in their matchup" - Neither of those two got past the 40 touches mark this week
"Rance kicks his first goal since 2013" - Nothing on the scoreboard for Rance playing as a loose defender
"Betts, Walker, Lynch, and Jenkins all kick 4+ goals in the same game" - Not a single bag of 4 for any Crows player against the Blues

Piccollo
"Elliot Yeo top scores for the Eagles as the web unravels a wells-less norf." - Yeo was good, but didn't top score in AF/DT nor SC
"Parker breaks the tackle record." - Only 3 tackles for Parker, very quiet by his standards
"Giants clobber Collingwood to the tune of 100 points with Buckley getting the sack." - A win for the Pies may well have saved Buck's job!
"Freo give the Dees a scare before Lyon brings in the tank in the 4th qtr." - Demons relatively in control throughout the match
"Essendon capitulate after a good first quarter showing." - A narrow 11 point loss was no capitulation from the Bombers

SydneyRox
"Swans win by exactly 19 points" - A comfortable 38 point win for the Swannies, exactly double your prediction
"Mills has 30 possessions and get rising star  award" - Finally got the rising star nomination he deserved, but not quite the number of touches you specified
"Port win by 10+goals" - Would have been a massive call!
"Freo win by 10+goals" - I think it's fair to say this too would have been a 3 pointer!
"Richard Douglas top scores SC in carl v ade game" - Only 81SC was never going to be enough for Douglas to top score
"Petrie kicks more goals than JJK" - A sneaky 6th call! This one will not be counted

HappyDEZ
"St Kilda 61-70" - Possibly what the Saints expected coming into the game, but certainly wasn't what they got
"WCE 61-70" - North were competitive enough to keep it to around the 5 goal mark
"Connor Blakely 10+ tackles" - A solid game from Blakely, but only the 5 tackles
"Petracca 100+ SC" - A good chance for Petracca to go big against the Dockers, but he barely made it to 50SC


Correct Calls

HappyDEZ
"Rory Laird 130+ SC" - Perfect! Laird finished on exactly 130 points, his first score of 130 or more this season (2)

Call of the Week
"Rory Laird 130+ SC" - HappyDEZ

Final Word:
Only the one correct call this week, but what an important call it is in relation to our leaderboard! With the very last call of the round, HappyDEZ overtakes long-time leader T Dog to take a 1 point lead. Will T Dog conjure up a correct Big Trav call to snag the lead? Maybe LaHug or _wato can make a late charge up the leaderboard to become the 3rd challenger in this two-horse race? Can HappyDEZ extend his lead over the coming weeks? You'd think he'd need a couple more correct calls to hold off his challengers. Stay tuned.
