I’m 36th right now in the FOG League.

Teeth Eater is 32nd and 25 points ahead of me, he currently has the last spot in L2. That is bloody good for a side he’s said hasn’t been going to well, he’s come from nowhere to get right up there!

You're assuming everyone will come back, which they won't. Most people do, but there's always a bit of attrition so 35th might be enough.

I'll be giving up my L1 spot after a decent few years to L-lots.

Yeah you’d know more about it than me mate as you’ve been around longer.

How are you sitting rank wise mate? Haven’t heard off you that much lately, hows your side looking and do you have a trade or 2 spare?

I’m sure you’ll bounce back to great things next year you’re to good of a fantasy player to be kept down for to long.

Just goes to show even with a few bad beats along the way you can make up a lot of ground toward the end of the year if you keep a few trades up your sleeve and play the long game.

Continuing on from this to show even a bad start isn't a death sentence. Banking some trades and not chasing every single cow is normally enough to storm home. After being outside the top 18000 at one point I'm now firmly in the top 1000

Shouldn't everyone wait 2 more weeks before worrying about what leagues they will be in? I've had a couple of stunning freefalls in the rankings in the last 2 weeks in previous years.

There will also be a chunk that stopped playing after round 3 who will return next year, not sure what mods will do with them in regards to leagues but it includes some very long term fantasy players

Probably one of my more consistent years:

Edit: that 808 was heartbreak

Can't resist a humble brag

It is fun/interesting to reflect though. Even without byes this year, it sort of shows that worrying about what the top teams are doing in rounds 4, 5 or 6 is a bit pointless. You can see around week 4 and 5 is when I finally punted the dud duo of Levi and Jack Williams haha..

TBH team feels a bit stretched going into these last two weeks. Few players looking a bit tired through-out the squad, just hoping to hold on now.

Anyone else feel a little flat that the top 8 has been decided with 2 rounds to spare, bit of an anti-climax for the regular season

I foresee a real tumble again with the inevitable resting malarkey that goes in prior to finals

I’m happy, hopefully it makes for a interesting couple of weeks of resting and shutting down some players with niggles

That's what I'm hoping too.

Yeah its probably more interesting from a fantasy point of view because for most teams there is a lot less to play for in the last two rounds.

True, I was more thinking from purely footy perspective, a whole lot of nothing matches now.
Suppose there is still something to achieve for the top 8 trying to get the best position for themselves

This rounds match ups are nearly all top 8 v bottom 8

I don't really mind but i'm also at the stage of the year where I probably only watch 3 or 4 games for the round.

It can go both ways from an entertainment perspective. Two teams who can't make the 8 can have some fun and throw the ball around. Manly vs Dogs last round was pretty entertaining

The race for the spoon is intriguing also

Bastard. Just needed Jazz to score 51 and your gone. When doesn't he score less than 51 without a sin bin??
Well done and hope you win L6.

He would have hit the 51+ for sure if it wasn't for the HIA.
