Competitions Melbourne Goalkicking Comp 2011

[Captain Jack]

It's back, hopefully bigger and better, for 2011.

The Concept:
Choose one Melbourne player each week who you think will kick a goal.

The Rules:
You can only choose a player once.
If said, player fails to kick a goal that week, YOU'RE OUT.
You can choose a back-up player in case of a late withdrawal.
Feel free to change your selection - up until the deadline.
Deadline is an hour before the game each week.
If you don't pick, you'll automatically get the player named at Full Back for that week (has Warnock even kicked a goal?)
Last man standing wins... don't ask me what they win though. Eternal glory, I say.

Here's last year's thread for reference:
http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showthread.php?t=706432&highlight=goal+kicking+competition

Bring the lolz.

Round 1 - Melbourne vs. Carlton... the competition started with 41 players, and almost half were knocked out as we capitulated to Carlton. That left 23 for Round 2.

Round 2 - Melbourne vs. Essendon, Round 11... only 4 were eliminated as the Dees had their best win of the year. Good times.


Round 3 - Melbourne vs. Collingwood, Round 12, Queen's Birthday... Carnage. Not much more to say, really. 10 of 19 knocked out, only 3 goalkickers in Sylvia, Howe and Jurrah. What a terrible day. The Apocalypse returned with a vengance. Main culprits were Watts and Green (again).

Round 4 - Melbourne vs. Fremantle, Round 13. The rollercoaster continued! All 10 remaining competitors got through, even those whose default picks were Frawley. Lol.

Round 5 - Richmond vs. Melbourne, Round 14. A good win, but a couple were let down by laziness/Russian/Petterd. 6 remain for Round 6.

Round 6 - Bulldogs vs. Melbourne, Round 15. Enough said about this debacle already
Two eliminated, we're down to the pointy end of the competition with only four left.

Round 7 - Melbourne vs. Port, Round 17. And then there were two...

Round 8 - Melbourne vs. Hawthorn, Round 18.[/B] Sigh.
1. Wise Guy Sam: [Newton, Green, Jurrah, Sylvia, Watts, Howe, Petterd] Dunn
2. Theseventhhamster: [Newton, Green, Jurrah, Sylvia, Howe, Watts, Petterd] Maric

And the winner is.. Wise Guy Sam!!!
Congrats! You win the grand prize of nothing!

And so the competition concludes... it's a good concept on the surface but it peters out after a while. It's been a pleasure, gents.

Thanks very much dcrock.

dcrock has put his hand up & will be running the competition this year.

If you want to express you interest post in this thread & I leave it up to dcrock how he wants you to let him know who you choose.

Last year it was posting in this thread but either that or a PM to him might be acceptable.

Again thanks for taking the lead with this dcrock.

 

[Crimson Azure]

By the way I'm in the comp so you can put my name down.

 

[Captain Jack]

Yep probably just post in this thread, but PM if you really want.

One thing we did last year was a copy/paste of the current selections. This made it easier for pezz, who ran the thing last year. So, for example

is the current list. CtrlC+V that bit, add your name and selection and post away.

Can two people pick the same player?

 

[Captain Jack]

Can two people pick the same player?

Yeah, anyone can pick anyone... what everyone else does has no bearing on what you can do.

 

[DonMare]

Yeah, sounds like fun. Count me in.

 

[dees arent rabble]

I will have a crack

 

[Tulip]

Cool, I'm in

 

[WattsGoodForYou]

I rate my chances of getting kicked out early.

 

[Blackas87]

Say I pick jurrah against Carlton, does that mean I can't pick him for the rest the year???

 

[melbournemartin]

Yep Blackas87, you can't pick him again. It would be too easy otherwise!

Can someone remind me how many weeks the winner lasted last year?

 

[Headless]

I can't remember who eventually let me down last year.

I left Green until late which payed off dividends. I'm not sure I'll be quite as confident in him this year!

 

[00Stinger]

Im in..........staring from next week I take it?

 

[Crimson Azure]

It went until about July when Pezz went away then never ended from memory.

Im in..........staring from next week I take it?

Yeah next week it will start, started about the same time last year.

Great concept! The way we're going, might get about 3 comps in the one season- Maybe the next comp should be to pick a player who doesn't kick a goal....might go longer looking at the month ahead.

[MAXIMUM GRUNDAGE]

I'm in again, hopefully will last more than one week this year. Thankfully I won't be able to select Paul Johnson in the first week again this year (sorry Sam, that was probably my fault).

Thanks for keeping that list going guys, makes my job easy as I said.

The time has come to submit selections for week 1, which of course corresponds to Round 10, Dees vs. Carlton on Friday night at the MCG. As above, you can change your tips as much as you want up until 6:40pm on Friday.

Good luck picking our 3 goalkickers :s
