(NB: I used final round ladders - before finals for the positions).
Premiers - Hawthorn
Paul, Shane.
GF - Hawthorn v Sydney
Shane
Improvers
NM (Connors) 10th - 6th: Up 4 places (but 2 more post finals I believe)
WCE (Shane) 13th - 9th: Up 4 places
Adelaide (Blair): 11th-10th: Up 1 place
So…points to Connors and Shane.
Sliders
Ess (Connors): 5th (9th) - 7th: down 2 places (see above, how I picked them to slide from 'actual' posi prior to being booted from finals).
Geel (Shane & Blair): 2nd - 3rd: down 1 place
Points: Connors
Brownlow - Priddis
Points to no-one, though Shane had the highest ranked player (Trent Cotchin), so let's give him 1 more point there. (Picking the actual winner has gotta be worth 3 right? Next year, will work one out ;)).
Blair easily had the highest ranked Roughie with his 'completely-not-a-roughie', Dangerfield ;) But I will give him a point there, as Shane's (Libatore 5 votes) and mine (O'Meara 1 vote) were nowhere near it).
Rising Star - Taylor, 1 point above Bontombelli
No-one close here.
Coleman Medal - Lance Franklin
No-one again. Though, giving myself a point for runner-up, Roughhead.
so…
Final Points
(Though we need to come up with an actual 'points system' for next year I reckon, inc points for placings, actual pick and highest compared to other contenders).
Connors: 4
Shane: 4
Blair: 1
So, did that sound fair? Shane and I to share honors this year. (But again, let's get a 'real' thread going for all the tips and a points system for next year :)).
Thanks for taking part again. I used to always like how we would do our tips along with the Herald Sun writers.
