I can't help but keep worrying that this has a very good chance of being accurate. I sure hope not.

[The Lobster Effect 888]

...BUMP!

Ok, I know it's not October but we basically know the answers except who will be premiers. I'm going to pay out on Jones re B&F and Clark re best first year player.

So the winner with the most correct calls is.... drumroll.... Samsara with 5 and maybe 6 correct if hawks win the flag. Your prize is a dinner for two with cale morton at an all-you-can-eat buffet.

BEST CALLS

Dees best and fairest

These people all got it right with Nathan Jones:

RalphiusMaximus, Macca, Daz's Dee's, WhateverItTakes, Little Goffy, deeflog, billy2803, Steve13, mephis, LJ86, double dee, DemonAndrew, Samsara, reynolds46, Robbie57 and myself.

Dees best 1st year player

These people all got it right with Mitch Clark*:

RalphiusMaximus, Jack Jack, Samsara

*Altho most interpreted the question relating to only those with no previous experience and so most people chose Magner

Goals clark will kick

Nearest to the pin was DemonAndrew with 33

Games jurrah will play

The pessimists did well with this one!

Nearest to the pin were DemonWA, Daz's Dee's, Jack Jack, DEELIRIOUS, Pates, Deeflog, billy2803, Steve13, mephis, DemonAndrew, Good Times Grimes, reynolds46 and Robbo24 who all said 0. Also Dr. Mubutu said 2

Dees surprise of the year

Best call on this was LJ86 for "Grimes to make it through the season unscathed"

Other correct calls were:

Samsara for "Beat an interstate team away (excluding Port @ Darwin)" ... Although beating GWS in Canberra isn't much of a call, sorry!

reynolds46 for "Jack Watts complimented by former players in the media" I can't remember who it was but I think someone did compliment Watts a couple of months ago.. they might be wanting to retract it though

Premiers

The votes were:

Hawks - RalphiusMaximus, DemonWA, Macca, leucopogon, hardtack, Daz's Dee's, Jack Jack, WhateverItTakes, Crawf52, deeflog, Dee-licious, Steve 13, Dr. Mubutu, LJ86, double dee, DemonAndrew, Samsara, Good Times Grimes, robbo24 and me.

Geelong - Pates

Melbourne - Little Goffy

Collingwood - Josh, reynolds46

West Coast - Jonesbag, Robbie5

First coach to get sacked

These people all got it right with Primus:

deeflog, Dr. Mubutu, LJ86, double dee, DemonAndrew

Biggest off field controversy

Ok some of these could still occur in the finals, but to date these people got it right with the Jurrah call:

DemonWA, deeflog, Samsara and robbo24 (half-right)

Games won by gws

These people got it right by saying 2:

me, RalphiusMaximus, Samsara
