Well, the Kiwi came along and went BANG with a massive 2428 to stun my Strutties and end our Division V winning streak. I've been playing against the Kiwi for many years now in fantasy footy and I've never seen him go this big before. This unexpected result has left the Geckos standing tall as the only undefeated side in Hogg V after they had a comfortable win against Chelsea who can feel a little aggrieved to get 2000+ and still lose in a fairly low standard league.

The big winners in the promotion stakes this week besides that arsey Kiwi are me ol mate Squiddly who is doing it on the bit in this league as well as Edna Node and the highest scoring team in this league this season, Adro's Assasins. Nominations for the 'about time' award would begin and end with Mr Football as Pup has won his first match in the Hogg since the 2011 season, albiet an unconvincing win over fellow straggler pafc1870. Pup's win leaves St Brays Saints as the only team without a win and stone motherless on the ladder. Sturt B and pafc1870 are also looking good for the drop at this stage. Woollballs and gfc_firm both had important wins but will need to find extra points to be around at the pointy end of the season.

The bye week has arrived but the Geckos remain as venomous as ever and remain unbeaten on top of the ladder after nine matches. Callum had little difficulty remaining unbeaten after a regulation win over the last placed Saints but the real percentage booster for the round was the massive win to Chelsea FC who defeated the hapless Mr Football by a whopping 1182 points.

In a fairly low standard league there isn't a lot to like about the bottom four although pafc1870 had a heartening result racking up just their second victory of the season over the woolballs who are starting to drop. Carp is starting to live up to their name again as they have struggled against two of the better sides in the last two weeks, the Strutties and the banned one (Regards, REB). The weight for promotion doesn't appear to be all that long for Adro's Assassins who must have more than a few guns in their side as they are rarely beaten.

The Cow Pats floated to the top in the shithouse derby against the Krappers who might have run their race after going bunta against the Strutties the other week (ACK). Edna Node scored well but couldn't win her first SC match against her brother which is good cos I'll never live it down but I reckon Edna Node is a monty for the top eight in this league.

Adro's Assassins were the biggest loser this week as they suffered a shock defeat to wonder elephants. It is a complete mystery as to what the elephant man will do on a given week as this low scoring team has now won its second match against top four opposition after they cleaned up Regards, REB earlier in the season. The Venomous Geckons pulled out a punishing 2224 to defeat Sturt B who put in a reasonable 1907 that would have gotten them the win against many other Division V teams.

pafc1870 recorded a vital win over the last placed Saints which gives them a chance at avoiding relegation as gfc_firm put in a real shocker and they had their percentage severely dented by the Strutties. Regards REB had a soft win against an undermanned Edna Node outfit and Kiwi Krappers defied my call last week by scoring over 2000 during a bye week to flog Mr Football.

There's been a couple of changes to the ladder since the last report the main one being the slight dip in fortunes of Callum's Venomous Geckos. The Geckos won the first ten matches this season but have now dropped two straight to lose top spot to the mighty Strutties. If only the REBCats were going as well. wonder elephants' giant killing run saw him get another one and a deserved spot in the top eight. Edna Node is the casualty as her scoring has taken a real hit in recent weeks and Edna now sit in a dodgy eleventh spot after looking really good earlier in the season.

After a couple of relegations the Kiwi Krappers have rebounded strongly and look set for finals action this year and possible readmission to Hogg Division IV. There isn't much change in the relegation zone but congratulations to the St Bray Saints who won their first ever match in the Hogg Shield when they defeated and out of form woolballs combination. The woolys haven't won too many in recent weeks but still have a handy two game buffer on pafc1870 who scores well enough but doesn't win matches.

It was the Strutties and the Geckos in the match of the round this week and both teams were well down on their normal scoring due to the Watson and Ablett factor. The Strutties scrambled over the line after the Geckos were unlucky enough to have Jab Watson as his skipper. These sides were upstaged by Squiddly who 2369 to flog the Tylersstars who have lost that winning feeling in recent weeks and are tumbling down the ladder.

Chelsea FC also had a very good week scoring 2347 to pound the Gobbles who look like missing the eight this season even though they aren't far out of it. Chelsea are in 6th spot now and with scoring like that they could threaten for promotion given the highly inconsistent scoring pattern of the Kiwi Krappers who were upset by gfc_firm who are slowly but surely climbing the ladder.

This league is all about avoiding the bottom league in the Hogg next year and for most of the season pafc1870, Sturt B, Mr Football and St Brays Saints seemed to have the relegation spots sewn up. However, Sturt B Team has open the door slightly by defeating the woolballs who have now dropped two matches to bottom four teams. They have a two game gap between 15th pafc1870 but they haven't quite shut the bottom four out just yet.

With the Strutties clearing out by three games at the top of the ladder the main interest lies elsewhere in this Divvy V report. rd's Sturt B Team has launched a spirited effort in its attempts to avoid relegation this season by winning four of their past five matches. The latest victim was a lacklusture Mr Football even though both sides scored over 2000 which is well over what they have produced so far this season. Sturt B's improved form has put the heat on Carp and Tylers with Tyler looking particularly wobbly with a poor percentage.

The top four battle is on in earnest with three spots pretty much up for grabs. Venomous Geckos have fallen away big time in recent matches with only one win in the past five and they need to regain that winning feeling soon or they'll be in Divvy V again next year. The Kiwi, Regards REB and Adro's Assasins all look poised to knock the Gecks out of the top five and Edna Node and ninth placed Chelsea all look a better long term bet than the Gecks in recent weeks.

The jury is out on the wonder elephants whose ambitious top four charge was halted by the woolballs who really needed that result in their quest to avoid relegation. Cow Pat's win over the Geckos has kept them in the top eight even though he's fessed up to burning all his trades to get as far as he has. Still, the predicted ladder fall has not happened yet for the Baron.

My prediction is that Sturt B will be unlucky and go down to Divvy VI and that Chelsea makes the eight with the wonder elephants or Edna Node the unlucky side. I reckon Chelsea can in fact go up this year as I played them this week and they have a pretty good side. However, they need to start winning soon.

regards,

REB
