Moving on up…
Things are starting to look better for the poor beleaguered odds system! The favourite won in 34 games this week, and in one game two teams were both equal “favourite” so I give myself half a point for that – which makes it a grand total of 34.5 points! If I repeat what I did last week, the picture now looks like this:
Still not great – I should have got around 39 right this time. The chances of getting 34 or less right if my odds were accurate are 12.6% – so, a bad week, but not horrible. Kinda like my actual footy tipping! I’ve got some ideas to try and improve the tipping scheme, so we’ll see what kind of difference that makes in the weeks to come.
MTTY leads SC Log-Jam
A quick reminder of how this works. Each round, each team plays one match against someone from their own conference and one match against someone from the opposing conference. The top 16 teams play off in the finals.
The stats page also gives some more details of the tale of woe we’ve all been going through.
Dream Team
Not a huge amount of change in the ladder this week! Marcz finds himself a game clear on top, while Junktimer and browny_wce make their moves up the ladder, meanwhile DazBurg finally pulls himself from the bottom, being replaced by the hapless Alex7089.
Coming into the top 16 are valkorum, BratPack, thornz23 and Cicjose. Falling out are 8-6 suited, chrisuzz, naste and benjy251090.

Well, 10 matches in and we have a 8 teams tied for first! Extroadrinarly close, with each match having the potential to make-or-break a season. MTTY grabs first this week, but only 4% separates the top 8 teams. Roo boys! now finds himself a game clear at bottom, and desperately needs a change of fortunes from the luckless coach.
Coming into the top 16 is Maca24, MajorLazer, Cruiseon and BratPack, while slipping out are korza, BoredSaint, dylsta05 and naste.

Thorny Mac Attack
Well the Magpie streak is over, the Cats are ageless, Ablett finds his magic touch and St. Kilda still suffering.
How’s it looking for our esteemed coaches? Well, the Round 8 top scorers were thornz23 (2185) in DT and Maca24 (2273) in SC. Well done guys.
Final results in our hotly contested State of Origin Competition….
Dream Team: Victoria 37 – All-Stars 36
SuperCoach: Victoria 60 – All-Stars 13
Reminder of the points system….
4 points for each victory (2 points for a tie).
4 points for the conference that scores the most points overall.
4 points for the team with the highest individual score, and -3 points for the team with the lowest individual score.
4 points for the team that wins by the highest margin.
A total of 73 points available for each round!
Dream Team
And what a thriller! Despite scoring 369 more points overall, the Victorians pull off a stunning 37-36 victory (despite Alex7089’s best efforts to sabotage it). The coach of the round has to be thornz23 with his high score, while a heap of matches could have gone either way!

Well, what a schlacking from the Victorians. The All-Stars need to take a long, hard, look at themselves. Shame. 60-13 is simply not competitive! After winning the first two contests, the All-Stars are now on a 3 round losing streak. Maca24 led the way with a perfect 12 points, while roo boys! had the round from hell. The closest match being pyronerd upsetting hawk_88 by 22 points.
