I think Gref should be at least on equal odds as Julz and JMc. And Myall perhaps as well.

Haha whoever bets on the gimp is going to lose alot of money!

Jdr must be on roids this season!

JdR said...

Well, I thought I had a good season. But of course its hard to shine when you've got aL on your team, taking all the limelight and stuff. And Buzz. And Nathan. And Erhart. And let me tell ya, Geoff had a great season too.

The Lovers were truly the best team to not make the semis! ;)

Stu Austin said...

Given that Lovers came 5th then yes, you were the best team not to make the semi's!!

Stu, give us your insight into who you think will win the MVP award. I think you might have some inside info that the rest of us don't have.

Stu Austin said...

That will have to wait until tomorrow night. There are still a few big names missing from your list that you might want to consider!!

I think you're being a bit harsh on JdR and Jack though, as they have got points on the board which puts them ahead of 38 players.

Jules said...

Ahh... Mike?

He missed a few games, but isnt MVP based on average points per game?

Stu himself would have done alright too I reckon. And you havent included any serious contenders from Cobras - think Abra would be up there.

wetnose said...

I only left Mike and Stu coz of the number of games they had been away, and I'm not sure if it is worked out on average votes per game. Stu, can you confirm this?

I guess I've got to remember to bring the MVP trophy tomorrow night...

Stu Austin said...

I don't know if it has ever been on average points but I've always based MVP on total points, switching it to average wouldn't affect the winner but some of the runners up.

JdR said...

I don't see much value in an average (except as a tiebreaker). Surely turning up to lots of matches makes you valuable, as opposed to standing out in the handful of matches you're able to play.

Or is that obvious?

Pete said...

Yeah I am with JdR, you shouldn't be rewarded for not turning up to the games.

JdR said...

Its like those tippers who only turn up to tip on the easy weeks!

Jangles said...

there are lot of names missing of the list but hey it is all in fun and it has been a crazy season. Special is probably one of the outside hopes i believe he played most of the games for Bugs.
