This week, look out,   No stuffed up C/VC selection,   No Donut in ruck (Goldy/North you mongrels) whilst rookies score 100+.    Should be 4500 points not bloody 4343.    Currently ranked 26721


Every year it is drop the baton in round 1-3 and spend the rest of the year chasing.    Sick of it I tell you bloody sick of it.    NO MORE.   :P

yup - bloody  Echucaflyer - lift your game!!!

[LordSneeze]

This is the week that everything changes, your battle plans become set in stone. Whether you meet your maker, or become the maker, that much is up to you. This week is one of the most important in the SC year, it is the time where you can correct your sides, fix those burning problems or just take the chance to make a luxury switch (Hanners im looking at you).
The head to head starts this week and if you haven’t yet scouted out your opponents teams you still have a little bit of time to do so. Remember thought they are in the same position as you and are likely to make some changes, so be warned.

Round 1 Fixtures


Division 1
Match of the Round â€" Mountalizians FC vs Bored Saints
A humdinger of a first round matchup pits last years Div 1 champion against last years overall points champion. Both would have been hoping for an easier start to the season, but alas one team will get off to a winning start and one will be left playing catchup.
The Prediction â€" Bored Saints will come out with a very close win.

Division 2
Match of the Round â€" Frogjumper vs Ringos Rocky Road
Ringos Rocky Road has started the season in top notch form with 2 weeks of strong results leaving him in a podium position in overall points. His first round doesn’t come much harder with a visit to previous Div 1 champion Frogjumper, who after last years result is out for redemption.
The prediction - Ringos Rocky Road will prove that his 2 weeks were no fluke.

Division 3
Match of the Round â€" The Abusement Park vs The Inner Game
Much like the other divisions there is 1 match that stands out as a crucial fixture. Both teams have performed admirably so far with 2 consistent scores putting them well up the leaderboards. The Abusement Park sitting a strong 5th across all division, while The Inner Game just misses the leaderboard in 11th.
Prediction â€" The Abusement Park will come out slightly too strong.

The Leaderboards
Much like last week, the leagues showed once again that the difference between the Div 1 and Div 3 is not much, to be able to perform in any league you will need to be able to show that you have the ability, skill and staying power. Divison 3’s Shanes Shakers took out the top position on the podium with a huge 2375. Making up the rest of the podium was Div 2’s Ringos Rocky Road and Division 1 Peptides FC. With 1 representative from each of the 3 divs on the podium just goes to show how even the competition is. Shoutout to Stubbsy’s Heroes and The Abusement Park for being the only teams to feature in the top 10 in both the first 2 weeks, is this a sign of things to come.




The two top scorers Terrifying Glue and Shanes Shakers share the top spot with 25 points apiece, neither were able to perform across both weeks, so at this stage we have no definitive leader. Stubbsy’s heroes rounds out the top 3 with his 2 consistent performances, will be hoping for a third to take over the leadership. This early into the season it is hard to tell what is going to happen and who will be the contenders, as there have been a few teams with consistent good scores that have yet to register a point.




Shane Shakers huge score in Round 2 has skyrocketed him from 11th into 1st, it just shows how much impact 1 good week can have on overall at such an early stage of the year. In a close second is Stubbsy’s Heroes 32 points behind, Ringos Rocky Road come in a further 10 points back. Currently though there are 22 teams within 200 points of the leader and within striking distance if they have a good week. Bringing up the rear are Div 2’s Bloods, Div 1’s 6TruckAKABigTonka and Div 3’s echuca flyer. Just remember boys there is still time to catchup and avoid that dreaded relegation position.



Good luck and LS Out

Update will be posted in the next few hours.

Feel free to get some banter going

In the meantime stat of the week.
If we had the top 18 overall points scorers in 1 league we would be league rank 2

[LordSneeze]

The first shots have been fired across the team’s bows, with several players making waves on the unknown ocean that is supercoach. Others have already seen the ship start sinking, taking on water as fast as a cheetah chasing its prey.
This week saw the set a forget ruck model blown to smithereens with Gawn going down early and Goldy putting in a performance for the ages, and mean stone age style quality. Remember that trades are important, but you still need to field a team that is competitive and able to keep you in the hunt.

Let the banter begin.

Note - Ive had to alter a few people’s names in the tables as the automatic result formulas failed when the name started or ended with a number.

Round 1 Results
Division 1



Match of the Round â€" Mountalizians FC vs Bored Saints
The rematch of last years power houses didn’t live up to its billing with Mountalizians FC pulling out a huge total to runs away with a 150 point win. Bored Saints will desperately be looking to bounce back against a terrifying Glue team that has been very strong to start the year.

In the other results, Stubbsy’s Heroes had no trouble dispatching Corkascrew, Mcbasketball put on a masterclass for Don’t Dog LeBois smashing him by 223 points, Cunning Coyotes got lucky with a low score getting the win against a poor Brainpharts outfit. Bics best proved he had too much composure for Spinach, Tiger of Old taught promoted bombers rules a lesson, Terrifying Glue won a hiugh scoring affair against SCHILLACI and Jive Turkeys made the TruckAKABigTonka taste defeat for the first time this year.

Division 2



Match of the Round â€" Frogjumper vs Ringos Rocky Road
In The match of the round Ringos Rocky Road continued his strong start to the year with a hard fought 32 point win over Frogjumper. Both teams showed more than enough to expect they will be around the mark comes the years end.

In other fixtures, The Sloane Ranger performed like the Real Sloane chugging along to a 33 point win over Engineticians. Raging Marshmellow snuck a win past the humps of the Afghan Cameleers, Bull Dust backed up last years strong scores with a big win to start the year. Team Pendles had no trouble getting the 4 points off league low scorer Tigertuff. Flying Fids flew past AENIMIST with the highest for the week. MC’s Mix wont a high scoring match with Koop’s Kickass. Beef TannanFC got a W in the column with $Blues resigned to holding the L and I have no Clurey proved he had a Clurey with a big win over Milk Milk Lemonade.

Division 3



Match of the Round â€" The Abusement Park vs The Inner Game
The Abusement Park put his credentials on the table prior to the match and was able to back it up with a tight win over The Inner Game. Unfortunately for The Inner Game even though he had the 5th best score in Div 3 for the week, he ran into one of the form teams.

In the other matches, Nolittleblackbook debuted with a win over Gdog. DMCC XXII took home the cake in a great matchup with FISKER FC. Hammertown put the beatdown on the leagues weak link Echuca flyer. Ellis inWonderland took the 4 points against a competitive ., SydneyRox beat a foor Lenneth. Likewise FIGJAM had no issues over DazCats. Shanes Shakers couldn’t backup last weeks epic but still had just enough to take The Flaming Goats out to the trash pile and KickaKrowy ended the match against Ka-Boom with little more than a scratch.

Round 3 Fixtures



Division 1
Match of the Round â€" BlueBaggers vs McBasketball
Two of the higher scoring teams face off this week. Mcbasketball is coming in off the back of a confidence boosting win, while BlueBaggers strong 2200+ score was not enough to get the 4 points. He will be desperate to bounce back and avoid the dread 0-2 start.
The Prediction â€" Mcbasketball will be too strong and keep Bluebaggers winless.

Division 2
Match of the Round â€" Team Pendles vs Raging Marshmellow
Both teams are coming off round 1 wins and are fairly close in the overall points race. This matchup doubles as a must win for teams that could easily be fighting for a spot in the top 4 or for finals. An 8 pointer this early if ive ever seen one.
The prediction â€" Toss a coin and see if you can hit it with a dart while in the air.

Division 3
Match of the Round â€" KickaKrowy vs Shanes Shakers
Both teams have so far performed admirably in good results, particularly Shanes Shakers. KickaKrowy started the year off slowly, but has been steadily improving as the weeks go on. The Win in Round 1 will have given him a boost in confidence to see if he can match it with one of the premier contenders in Div 3.
Prediction â€" Shanes Shakers will stake him claim and show he is to be feared.

The Leaderboards
This is the first time in memory that I can remember have 2 ties in the top 10 in the same week. Just goes to show the level of competition and closeness of the leagues. Taking out the top spot was Flying Fids with a very strong 2373. This 1st position follows up his 5th place showing in Round 1. In the minor placings were Mountalizians FC (First appearance) on 2342 & Bull Dust (Second appearance) 2338.
Somewhat surprisingly not a single division 3 team made the top 10 for this week and they will be out for revenge this week to prove they are as strong as the other divisions.




Flying Fids made his move up the leaderboard with the 25 points taking over the top spot from Terrifying Glue & Shanes Shakers. Terrifying Glue was able to put some separation between himself and Shanes Shakers with his 4 points this week. The biggest mover though was Bull Dust rocketing from outside the top 10 into 7th thanks to his podium finish. There have been several consistent teams over the first few weeks that are starting to show their qualities, can they continue over the upgrade period and avoid all the issues to keep the momentum going.




Flying Fids and Bull Dusts big scores for the week saw them overtake all challengers and sit in 1st and 2nd overall. Terrifying Glue rounds out the top 3 going past Ringo’s Rocky Road into 3rd place. Shanes Shakers fall from 1st to 9th just goes to show how 1 good or 1 bad week can have a huge impact on your position. We are starting to see the teams at the top separate from those in the middle of the pack last wee there was 22 teams within 200 points of the leader, this week there are only 16.
Reversing the table sees Echuca flyer still propping up the rear by 220 points, Dazcats and Brainpharts are also struggling, but are still in touching distance of the teams above them.



Good luck and LS Out

Awesome work LS, just ticking along quietly at the moment, keep in touch with the leaders early is the plan  8)

[PowerBug]

And he's on the leaderboard 8)

[PowerBug]

And he's on the leaderboard 8)

I'm hoping to back it up with some more points this week with a 2,124, in Div 2 I got the second highest score in the league which was nice! What wasn't nice was that my league opponent was the highest scorer so I lost! >:(

Ouch PB! Now that's gotta hurt!

[LordSneeze]

Wow, what a tough week it was to be a coach. Scored plummeted several hundred points with rookies and premiums alike stinking up the stadiums like skunks with excessive gas. If you have been able to avoid a lot of the issues this year then you should be feeling on top of the world, as you have as good of a chance as the leaders to be ruling the roost come years end; pending your effective or ineffective trade plans.

Round 1 Results
Division 1



Match of the Round â€" BlueBaggers vs McBasketball
Mcbasketball has once again shown his credentials to the FF Community with a comprehensive victory of Bluebaggers. Never looking in trouble McBasketball moved to a 2-0 record and is setting himself up for a strong run at the titles. Bluebaggers on the otherhand has been dealt a difficult hand winless after 2 and with a difficult matchup against Corkascrew who will also be looking for his first win.

In the other results, SCHILLACI got his campaign running with a hardfought win over Jive Turkeys, BigTonka ran over the Tiger of Old with an important win and 4 points. Terrifying Glue continued his impressive start to the year, this time downing Bored Saints. Bics best had too much in the tank for a competitive Bombers Rule outfit. Mountalizians FC backed up his huge score with another solid score in a tough week that was enough to take out Peptides FC. Brainpharts smashed a hapless Spinach into a new dimension. Cunning Coyotes took home the bacon leaving Stubbsy’s Heroes none for dinner. Don’t Dog LeBois got into the winners circle with win over the 0-2 Corkascrew

Division 2



Match of the Round â€" Team Pendles vs Raging Marshmellow
In a fairly low scoring affair in comparision to other matches Raging Marshmellow just slightly better in the key moments to get a 36 point win. Team Pendles will be feeling like this was 4 points lost after Raging Marshmellow posted a total that was ultimately beatable, but he was unable to take the chance and run with it.

In other fixtures, Engineticians got himself on the board sniping the Afgham Cameleers from the winners podium. Bull Dust put in a solid shift bring The Sloane Ranger back down to Earth. Flying Fids pulled out another big total to comfortably beat Bloods. MC’s Mic put the second W in the column after putting Tigertuff out of his misery early. He will be hoping to make it 3 wins this week. Frogjumper kickstarted his season with a win over AENIMIST who so far has had a tough run and will need to pick up his game going forward. Beef Tanna FC went all Steve Austin on Koops Kickass. Ringos Rocky Road is looking more like Ringos Smooth Road with a win over Milk Milk Lemonade. $Blues won a super high scoring contest over I have No Clurey the later feeling like he ran over a black cat being so unlucky.

Division 3



Match of the Round â€" KickaKrowy vs Shanes Shakers
AS expect Shanes Shakers took home the points fairly comfortably. He didn’t set the world on fire like many expected with his total of 2039 failing to reach the high standards he set earlier in the season. Question marks are now being asked if he was just a 1 week wonder. KickaKrowy won’t be worried just yet, but needs to step up to have a chance at promotion for next year.

In the other matches, Gdog was too strong for The Inner Game kickstarting his season. Nolittleblackbook posted a huge total to have no issues in dispatching FISKER FC. Hammertown upset The Abusement Park with what ended up being a comfortable win. . defeated DMCC XXII in a high scoring matchup that was potentially a preview to future matchups come post season. Lenneth had the gimme win over Echuca Flyer who is not showing the improvement just yet. FIGJAM was happy to avoid defeat with Ellis inWonderland pushing him all the way in another high scoring encounter. The Flaming Goats took out SydneyRox by 51 points. While Ka-Boom managed to get a win with a paltry 1883, lucky for him he came up agsinst DazCats whose 1782 rivaled that of echuca flyer as one of the worst normal season scores in FF PR history.

The Leaderboards
Im not sure what is going on, im calling a conspiracy as we have now had back to back weeks where there has been 2 ties in the top 10 for the week. I have no Clurey and Nolittleblackbook tying for the final podium position and Flying Fids and FIGJAM tying for 8th. However taking out the coveted 25 points was $Blues, his impressive 2158 was more than enough. Mcbasketball stepped into the 2nd position on the podium draining from long range a 2144 shot. Will we see the same teams again next week, or will new forces make an appearance.




$Blues 25 points rocketed him up from 12th into 2nd place on 32 points. With the leader only sitting with 33.5 points the leaderboard is still close enough for every team, even those still somehow sitting on the dreaded 0 (Of which there are 29 of them). Mcbasketball also made a big move coming from outside the top 10 to slot into 5th position, while I have no Clurey worked his way up to 8th.




Much like the FF Medal Leaderboard the top spot is held by Flying Fids. His is being chased relentlessly by McBasketball and Terrifying Glue, both whom are breathing down his neck. Bull Dust and Ringo’s Rocky Road make up the top 5 before we see a 92 point gap back to a cluster of about 20 teams. Will we see the top 5 start to develop a bigger gap on the rest, or will they come back to the pack in the upcoming weeks. Who will be the bolter that comes from the clouds??? That’s anyone’s guess right now.



Good luck and LS Out
