Only 409 left in SEN Survivor too, I expect that figure to drop a bit this week…

After Brisbane/north draw and swans losing... can't be many left

SEN Survivor doesn't eliminate drawn games.

That’s poor considering the whole point of the competition is to pick a winner each week to stay alive…

GWS has won the last four there. Not really an upset


That + GWS are too good a side to lose 4 in a row - Why I picked them 8)

Do you have the kahunas to back up again this weekend and take either West Coast over Saints or Roos over Richmond?
Ive had a b it of a look, roos get west coast in Tassie later on and west coast get sydney in r24.
I think ill get west coast out of the way this week if McGovern is back. It would be the most Roos thing to do, to lose to Richmond this week after a good couple weeks but no wins

Filthy first half was elite but could not take the medal away from Rozee, both had quieter second halves but filthy went missing late no fault of his own with the ridiculous game plan in the last quarter after taking the lead


Medal winner HAS to come from winning team


Interesting point:

Listening to both coaches after game press conferences they had differing views.

Nicks agreed with the choice of Rozee as the medal winner stating he was clearly the best player on the ground and the player that had the most influence on the game

Hinkley whilst acknowledging how well Rozee played stated he believed that the winner of the medal should come from the winning team

I'd prefer the best player medal to be the best player, but that's just me.

There’s no doubt Rozee deserved the medal regardless of the result.

Best player can be any player on the ground regardless of the result.

The best argument against a losing player getting the medal is that the medal most likely ends up in the bin so you might as well give it to a bloke from the winning team.
