heres the latest, the clock is ticking, not much time until friday..... the current table has 29 people signed up. 17- big footy players 12- big soccer players as the way it is now, after the second round of playoffs, the bottom six will be relegated meaning the 6 will battle for the wooden spoon (regardless of their point total after the grand final). if there's a tie for the spot above the cutoff, all make it to the next round that are tied with that amount of points. ============================================= Comments: comments (which anyone can post, the thread is not just for picks)will now be listed as a seperate post and the end of the thread.

Get it right, get right and get 4 points Bonus points- pick the winning margin- by 0-9 pts, 10-19, 20-29, 30+ and get 2 points. You can only get the bonus points if you pick the correct team to win. Picks will go by round (just pick the first round games). if we get a good amount of players, maybe a certain amount will be eliminated after each playoff round (it will be decided before it starts) When making your picks, please list it as so here's an example-> say Brisbane plays St. Kilda, my pick would be as follows: Bhoysfc1995 (bigsoccer) Brisbane +30 so you are wondering why i put (bigsoccer), thats b/c i put out a challenge to our sister site bigfooty to see if they want to join to comp. as well. this way we can tell what site each player is from. finally, spots will be limited as i will be doing all the calculating of points, and really would prefer not to spend my entire evenings tallying point totals so, for now, if you are interested just post here and say so, also feel free to ask questions, all are welcome to join! -bhoysfc1995
This'll be the finals matches in case anyone was wondering ... Brisbane vs. St. Kilda (2 vs. 3) at the GABBA; Friday night Melbourne vs. Essendon (5 vs. 8) at the MCG; Saturday Sydney vs. West Coast (6 vs. 7) at Telstra Stadium; Saturday night Port Adelaide vs. Geelong (1 vs. 4) at AAMI Stadium; Sunday
OK, so I'll join and here are my picks: Chandu (bigsoccer) Brisbane +20 Essendon +10 Sydney +30 Port Adelaide +10
You talk the talk but can you walk the walk in Finals, or will you do a Port Power and choke? Count me in.
I'm not choking. Can't say the same for Port Adelaide, though. babytiger2001 (bigsoccer) Brisbane vs. St. Kilda -- Brisbane by 20-29 points Melbourne vs. Essendon -- Essendon by 10-19 points Sydney vs. West Coast -- West Coast by 0-9 points Port Adelaide vs. Geelong -- Geelong by 20-29 points

Comments: 9.5.04 first week is over, count zero and skipper kelly just keep making the right picks in first with 22pts (of a possible 24) -a big win for me, Bhoys, but i still lurk in the redzone. -"Cats Flying Low"? cat-flying-high sits on the bottom with a lonely 4pts. is there still hope the cat can get out of the bottom? well there are still 12 points up for grabs next week. -BigFooty vs Bigsoccer Update- week one goes to BigFooty, owning the top 4 spots, although out of spots 5-10, 4 of 'em are Bigsoccer people (yes i know, who cares). -i might as well have 'Big Pimping" by JayZ play in the background of this page, b/c here i go again pimping up the ICC Cricket Challenge. now i know everyone was waiting for the schedule and bonus questions before signing up, head over to the cricket forum for the schedule, and sign up!
Picks for Next Games[ friday sept 10 St. Kilda vs Sydney bonus: 0-9, 10-19, 20-29, 30+ saturday Geelong vs Essendon bonus: 0-9, 10-19, 20-29, 30+ remember post name (site) pick bonus thanks, and good luck!
