BBFFL#2 2017 Discussion

Gotta like those position changes for me, Crisp with B status is awesome. McDonald becoming a swingman is pretty good too.

Watson rested and for some inexplicable reason Buckley hasnt recalled Phillips. So I’ll be one short yet again.

BBFFL#2 Round 14 Summary

51 Bewick ended his losing streak at 9 by knocking over Silly Billy. This meant he has now lost 9 straight 3 times – but on each occasion has gone on to win the 10th match.

Cafegerat returned to the winners list by knocking over TrevorBix in Round 14. This snapped an 11 game losing streak which was one loss behind his longest losing streak of 12 from Round 3 to Round 14 2015.

Come Back Hirdy continued his solid run of scoring by posting another 1400 plus score. This was the 4th straight game he has managed to do this and he has now done it 8 times in 2017. Prior to this season CBH had only scored 1400 or more on 14 occasions.

Don to Death scored his 3rd lowest tally for 2017 in Round 14. Despite this he was still able to knock over Eggs, making it back to back victories. His score of 1306 was only higher than the 1261 and 1228 scored in Rounds 4 and 2 respectively. Overall this was his 36th lowest of 84th highest score. His all-time low score of 1130 came in Round 7 2012.

Eggs scored his lowest tally for 2017 by only posting a score of 1160. This was his lowest score since Round 18 2014 when he scored 1153. Overall this was Eggs’ 6th lowest score, with his lowest ever score remaining the 1054 scored in Round 16 2013.

Ivan was unable to snap his losing streak against Westozziebomber. This meant his losing streak was extended to 10 – only 3 behind Pazza’s longest losing streak of 13 from Round 5 to Round 17 in 2013.

No. 5 managed his 3rd highest score for the season in his lose against Redbull. His score of 1430 is only behind the 1505 from Round 5 and 1468 in Round 7 this season. Overall it was his 32nd highest score, with his PB remaining as1658 from Round 7 2015.

Redbull continued his run of 1500 plus scores. His score of 1542 was his 6th straight consecutive score of 1500 or better. Remarkably in his first 103 games as a BBFFL#2 coach Redbull only managed to score 1500 or more on 6 occasions.

Saladin slumped to his 4th straight loss in going down to Smooth. This is Saladin’s longest losing streak since losing 6 straight from Round 7 to 12 in 2016, which is his longest losing streak.

Silly Billy suffered another loss, making it back to back losses after winning 3 on the trot. His average of the last 7 weeks is 1348 after averaging only 1150 for the first 7 weeks of the season.

Smooth continued on his merry way with win number 13 for the year – including 7 straight. Each of these 7 wins has come about as a result of score of 1500 or higher. Only twice this season has Smooth scored less than 1500.

Stoops had his worst ever week as a BBFFL#2 coach. For the first time he failed to score 4 figures with his score of 947 his lowest score in 122 matches as a coach. His previous low was 1063 scored in Round 2 2016.

The Melkman equalled his highest score for the season by getting to 1496. This equalled his best score since scoring 1589 in the 2015 Semi Final. Overall the 1496 ranked as his 31st highest score. Other than the 1496, his next best score this season is 1402. His best score in 2016 was 1396.

TrevorBix scored his lowest total for 2017 by only getting to 1131. This was his lowest score since scoring 1031 in Round 19 2014. Overall this was TrevorBix’s 18th lowest score, or 92nd best score. His all time low remains at 926 scored in Round 4 2012.

Wezza was unable to make it 4 wins on the trot, as he suffered a lost to Bargey. This result means Bargey now holds a 6-3 winning record over Wezza in one of the fiercest rivalries in BBFFL#2. Wezza won the first two match ups in 2012, but has only saluted once since – albeit the most important meeting to date – the 2016 Qualifying Final.

Westozziebomber won match number two for the season in knocking over Ivan. This win ended his losing streak at 5. This is his second longest losing streak, behind his 7 straight losses from Round 1 to 7 this season.

BBFFL#2 Round 15 Summary

51 Bewick made it back to back wins for the first time in 2017. His winning score of 1547 was also a season high, going past the 1457 scored in Round 12. Overall it was his 3rd highest BBFFL#2 score, only behind the 1572 scored in Round 1 2016 and 1561 scored in Round 15 2015. It was his 4th score in the 1500s. The last time he scored consecutive victories was from Rounds 14 to 17 in 2016.

Bargey achieved his 12th straight win which is a new record winning streak, going past the 11 wins achieved from Round 4 to Round 14 in 2015. This win came despite his second lowest score of the year 1475, only higher than his season low of 1452 which was scored in Round 4. Overall the 1475 was his 51st highest score or 66th lowest.

Birch19 lost for the second week running meaning his season record is now below 50/50. This makes it 3 seasons running that Birch19 has had fewer wins than losses after 15 matches. In the first 3 BBFFL#2 seasons his ledger positive after 15 rounds.

Cafegerat was unable to make it back to back wins in Round 15. The last time he won and didn’t win the following match was his victory in Round 19 2015 – he failed to win in Round 1 2016. Since this time his other 4 wins have been in Rounds 9 and 10 2016 and Rounds 1 and 2 2017.

Come Back Hirdy continued his remarkably consistent scoring form by scoring 1437 in his win over TrevorBix. This is his 5th straight score in the 1400s. The victory also means that he has won 4 of his last 5 BBFFL#2 matches after ending Round 10 at 5 and 5.

Don to Death continued his winning ways in knocking over Birch19 in Round 15. This made it 3 straight wins to bounce back from losses in Rounds 11 and 12. After missing the finals for the past two seasons Don to Death is well positioned to make the finals again – as he did in the first 3 BBFFL#2 seasons.

Eggs scored a vital win over Saladin as he fought to retain a top 4 spot. His win came despite scoring his equal second lowest total for 2017. His score of 1262 was only higher than the 1160 scored in Round 14 and was the same total as in Round 12. Overall it was 25th lowest score – or 88th highest. His all time low score of 1054 came in Round 16 2013.

Ivan was unable to snap his losing streak in Round 15 – making it 11 straight defeats. Although only winning once match so far, Ivan has managed to improve his teams average to 1230 up from the 1154 they averaged under Pazza in 2016.

No. 5 was unable to get the job done against 51 Bewick, leaving him clinging to 8th position. After winning his first 5 for the season, No. 5 has only won 4 of his last 10 matches.

Redbull scored 1700 in Round 15, making it 3 times he has scored in the 1700s this season. This is his 3rd highest BBFFL#2 score, behind the 1726 scored in Round 3 and 1713 scored in Round 11. Prior to 2017 Redbull had only scored 1500 or higher 4 times. This season he has achieved this feat 9 times from 15 matches, including the last 7 rounds.

Saladin turned in his worst scoring performance for 2017 by only scoring 1231 in Round 15. This was lower than his previous season low of 1259 in Round 7 and his lowest score since scoring 1165 in Round 19 2016. Overall it was his 19th lowest score or 54th highest. His record low score of 1047 came in Round 19 2015.

Silly Billy made it 3 straight losses to completely offset his 3 straight wins from Round 10 to 12. The lowest score to defeat Silly Billy over the last 3 weeks has been 1451 with the other two scores in the 1500s.

Smooth smashed out yet another 1700 plus score in Round 15. His score of 1732 was his 3rd score above 1700 this year, his 2nd highest for the season and his equal 3rd best overall score (also achieved in Round 6 2016). The only higher scores he has achieved are 1797 in Round 12 2017 (his highest score this season) and the BBFFL#2 record score of 1816 back in Round 16 2016. Smooth’s two scores of 1732 rank equally at 7th.

Stoops’ score of 1106 was his second lowest score for the season, only higher than his season and record low of 947 scored in Round 15. Overall this 5th lowest score.

The Melkman turned in his second lowest score for the season in only scoring 1264. This was only higher than 1204 he scored in Round 4. Overall this was his 19th lowest score or 103rd highest. The score was still enough to knock over Stoops, making it back to back wins for The Melkman for the 3rd time this season.

TrevorBix lost his 3rd straight match. This is the first time he has lost 3 on the trot since losing the final 3 matches of the 2014 season. His longest losing streak remains the BBFFL#2 competition record of 17 straight from Round 8 2012 until Round 5 2013.

Wezza bounced back with a strong win over Silly Billy to reclaim a spot in the top 4. His score of 1595 was his 3rd highest for the season and 4th best overall. His higher scores this year are 1601 in Round 3 and his record ever BBFFL#2 score of 1679 in Round 7.

BBFFL#2 Round 16 Summary

51 Bewick made it 3 straight wins by knocking over Ivan in Round 16. These 3 wins come off the back of 9 straight losses. Over the last 3 weeks 51 Bewick has averaged 1454 compared to a season average of 1289.

Bargey’s winning streak continued knocking over Come Back Hirdy in Round 16. This makes it 12 straight wins for Bargey – meaning his longest winning streak has gone past Wezza’s best of 11. Coaches with longer winning streaks are Smooth (19), TDSpartan (17), The Melkman (15), westozziebomber (14) and Stoops (14).

Birch19 slumped to his 3rd straight loss. This is the first time he has lost 3 straight in 2017. The last time he lost this many on the bounce was when he lost 4 straight from Round 14 to 17 in 2016. His longest losing streak remains at 4 – which other than the occurrence in 2016 also occurred from Round 5 to 8 in 2015.

Cafegerat went down in a super tight high scoring battle against Silly Billy, which was anything but reflective of their 15 and 16th positions on the ladder. Cafegerat’s score of 1499 was a new PB – smashing his previous best of 1434 from Round 10 2014. His second highest score in 2017 is the 1422 he scored in Round 1.

Come Back Hirdy scoring consistency just got even more consistence with a score of 1439 for the second time in 3 weeks – with a 1437 in the middle week. With 6 straight scores of between 1412 and 1487 CBH is a model for consistency. His season average currently sitting at 1421 clearly reflects this.

Don to Death made it 4 wins on trot in Round 16, moving himself up to 6th on the ladder. This is the second time he has won 4 straight this season, after previously achieving it from Rounds 7 to 10. His longest winning streak is 10 – coming in first 10 rounds of the 2013 season.

Eggs fell out of the top 4 and scored his lowest ever BBFFL#2 score in Round 16. His score of 1015 lowers his previous best of 1054 from Round 16 2013. This year his previous low was 1160 scored in Round 14.

Ivan lost again to make it 12 straight losses, closing in rapidly on Pazza’s longest losing streak of 13. The longest losing streak in BBFFL#2 history still belongs to TrevorBix when he lost 17 straight from Round 8 2012 until Round 5 2013. Round 16 also saw Ivan sink to a new lowest score for the season. His score of 1018 went lower than his previous worst of 1100 scored in Round 13.

No. 5 slipped out of the 8 and into 9th spot with his 3rd straight loss. This is the second time this season he has lost 3 straight, after also losing from Round 9 to 11. His Round 16 loss came despite his 3rd highest score for the season of 1438, only behind the 1505 scored in Round 5 and 1468 scored in Round 7. Overall this was his 27th highest score. His only higher losing score was 1476 in Round 12 2016 when TrevorBix knocked over No. 5 by 10 points.

Redbull overcame a determined Westozziebomber in Round 16. To make it 4 straight wins another 1500 plus score was needed. Redbull’s score of 1580 was his 6th highest score ever – all of which have come this season. Redbull is now just one win off his all time record winning streak of 5 which he has achieved twice previously – Round 12 to Round 16 2012 and from Round 3 to Round 7 2017.

Saladin snapped with 5 game losing streak in winning over Birch19 in Round 16. This win came off the back of his 3rd highest score for 2017 – 1470 – which also ranked as his 4th highest ever BBFFL#2 score. His only higher scores this season are the 1490 he scored in Round 5 and his record BBFFL#2 total of 1494 which he achieved in Round 10.

Silly Billy was another coach to return to the winners list in Round 16. His win over Cafegerat was off the back of scoring 1511 which was his 2nd highest score for the season and 3rd best ever score. Only the 1543 scored in Round 9 has been higher this season, whilst his 1561 scored in Round 3 2013 remains his record ever score.

Smooth made it 9 straight wins in his comfortable defeat of Eggs. This is the 4th time as a BBFFL#2 coach he has won 9 straight – the previous occasions have been when he won 10 straight from Rounds 10 to 19 in 2014, another 10 straight from Rounds 7 to 16 2015 and then a BBFFL#2 record 19 straight from Round 3 through to the 2016 Preliminary Final.

Stoops lost his 3rd straight match. Prior to this season he had only lost 3 straight once previously when he lost from Round 8 to 10 in 2015. To start this season he lost the first 5 matches which made it 6 straight losses given his lost in the 2016 Semi Final – his longest losing streak.

The Melkman won his 3rd straight match and scored his 3rd highest score by totalling 1413. His only higher scores this season are 1496s scored in Rounds 12 and 14. The 1413 is his 65th highest score. The last The Melkman won 3 straight was part of his 10 game winning streak from Round 10 to 19 in 2015.

TrevorBix scored a new season low for 2017 in Round 16. His score of 1121 was lower than his previous low of 1131 back in Round 14. Overall this was TrevorBix’s 18th lowest score. The last time he scored lower was in Round 19 2014 when he only scored 1031.

Wezza scored above 1500 for the 2nd consecutive week – making it 5 of the last 6 rounds that he has achieved this feat. Prior to this he had done it 17 times in 112 BBFFL#2 matches.

Westozziebomber scored his highest score for 2017 in his Round 16 loss to Redbull. His score of 1445 was his 44th highest total and best since scoring 1629 in his 2016 Grand Final victory. Prior to Round 16 his highest 2017 total was 1391 scored in Round 8.

Well I can die happy now.

Should never ever give myself match of the round status. Must be 0-5 at least.

For a brief moment we were matching it with Smooth. But 2 late outs in Mackie and S Selwood and then 2 players injured in Lyons and de Boer makes it impossible.

Yep, injuries in-game kill you. 3 of the last 4 weeks ive lost Beams, Mills and now Stringer early on. Looking at a really poor score now. Doubt I’ll make it to 1200.

And now I have lost Yeo!

Clearly this was all part of my cunning plan to keep my scoring weapons hiden until finals time…

BBFFL#2 Changes to Round 17 Selected Teams

Westozziebomber - J Bews B removed from emergencies as all backs played
No.5 - J Blair F moved to Emg 1 replace J Cameron F
Saladin - all playing emergencies removed as none C eligible to replace J Trengove C
Stoops - J Simpkin F moved to Emg 1 to replace B Grey F

Everyone gets some misfortune in this game but the 2nd half of this year has been sooooo frustrating - and somewhat depressing -with how things have fallen.

Well done stoops. I dont deserve to win with a sub 1200 score. Ever.
