In Honour of our Co-Champions of Head, there they are sharing the Head-Space up there. Harv and Nick. Congrats chaps.

Last year I forgot to ask. The year before I lost all your answers due to an email malfunction, the year before I probably just did nothing with the answers I got.
This year, I've dug 'em up and will scatter them round.
The first half of your pre-season answers right here. Who says we know anything about footy?

FANTASY:

Kate: Fevola 76
Rich: Jonathan Brown 82

Harv: Fevola 102
Jesper: Bazza 91
Ando: Big Bad Barry 86

NUTSHELL: Big Bad Bazza had a good year, but still let a lot of folks down. 87 is a very popular number. Jack Who?

RISING STAR:
REALITY: DANIEL HANNEBURY

FANTASY:
Franco: NIc Naitanui
Kate: Nic Naitanui
Rich: Dustin Martin
Joff: -
Grant: Michael Barlow
Frank: Rhys Stanley

Dickwad: Dustin Martin
Alex: Majak Daw
Harv: Nic Naitanui
Jesper: ?
Ando: Jack somebody - Dees

NUTSHELL: Nic Nat is little more than a highly mobile lampshade. Dusty Martin shouldna got rubbed out. Grant's a good judge of Horse-flesh, but didn't read the age rules.

FIRST COACH SACKED
REALITY: MARK WILLIAMS (I'm calling it a sacking)

FANTASY:
Franco: Mark Harvey
Kate: No sackings, but Damian Hardwick will attempt suicide
Dick: Malthouse (quits)
Joff: Dean Bailey
Grant: Neil Craig
Frank: Mark Williams
Richo: Bomber Thompson for a punch-up with Big Gaz re the GC
Stoddy: -
Kurtz: Mark Harvey
Sean: Michael Voss
Corey: Mark Harvey
Stan: Malthouse (quits)
Dirk: No Sackings
Dickwad: Mark Harvey
Alex: Dean Bailey
Harv: Mark Williams
Jesper: ?
Ando: Mark Harvey

NUTSHELL: A coup[le calling for the head of WunderCoach Mark Harvey may have been a little adrift. Harv and Frank have their finger on the pulse. Grant and Coxy showing a little prescience. Matthew Knights musta been looking the goods just a few months back.

That's it.
Beer o'clock.

So here it is:
A draw. Both Nick and Harv got 100% this week so can't split 'em and I hereby give up trying.
Joffa made a lunge at the line with James Manson, A Demon, Charlie Manson. I reckon, even though the shot of Sean Charles was when he was a Saint (which I don't actually remember) he played his good footy with the Dees, I'll pay half a point. Joffa draws for third with Taffa.

And so, just as he has with many folks before us, the unholiest of the holies, Charlie Manson, has finished us off. For this year at least.
This is it:

Apologies for not following through on my well-intentioned ideas last week. Hopefully some Time-capsule stuff this week, but it's the bosses birthday tomorrow and there's all sorts of other shit going on too.
Also we do have a result in Celeb Head, so I'll put you all out of my misery on that at the earliest opportunity too.

To the FINALS:
And then there were 4...
2 Big games to sort out the Grand Finalists.

And here's why...
Dickwad paid the price for being right, but less right than the reckless Matt.
Kurtz paid the price for being even more wrong than Grant.

It's not rocket-salad, but if you can't work out what happens from here, this little chart should give you a hand.
