After a week off, we return with yet another guest from the EliteDre@mTe@mers league: this time it’s amos, a.k.a. Danny, who’s calling in from Taiwan with his daughter. Team Amos is currently ranked 598 in DT.

Then it’s on to the round 16 review. Lindsay Gilbee is the first player mentioned, and we spend much of the review looking for replacements for the injured Bulldog, including his teammates Andrejs Everitt and Jordan McMahon. Tom Hislop, Scott Pendlebury, Aaron Sandilands, Robert Warnock, Brett Burton, Xavier Ellis, Chance Bateman, Justin Koschitzke, Sean Dempster, Matt Priddis, Matt Rosa, Ashley Hansen, Ben Cousins, Bryce Gibbs, Jarrad Waite, Matthew Lappin, Marc Murphy, Matthew Lappin, Robert Copeland, Domenic Cassisi, Troy Simmonds, Jake King, Jesse W. Smith and Nathan Jones are all discussed.

The Boys on the Bubble segment is rather bare this week because Ryan Lonie is the only one who qualifies (i.e. has played their second game for the year this week). m0nty doesn’t like them apples at all, and instead chooses Ben Cousins.

Then we come to the Crack the Ton segment, where we try to predict whether players will score 100 or over this week.
Brad Johnson: m0nty said yes, Molly said yes, amos said no.
Scott Lucas: m0nty said yes, Molly said no, amos said yes.
Heath Shaw: m0nty said no, Molly said yes, amos said no.
David Mundy: m0nty said no, Molly said no, amos said no.
Lance Franklin: m0nty said no, Molly said yes, amos said no.
Nick Dal Santo: m0nty said yes, Molly said yes, amos said yes.
Chris Judd: m0nty said no, Molly said no, amos said yes.
Shaun Burgoyne: m0nty said yes, Molly said yes, amos said yes.
Corey Jones: m0nty said no, Molly said no, amos said yes.

Finally in the general footy talk segment we mull over how much players actually play for their coach, especially in times of strife, and then debate what the best structure would be for fantasy league finals.

NOTE: Due to technical difficulties beyond our control and the Quality of the guest, we ran too long and decided to split the show into two Parts. This is Part A and Part B will be added soon

This week makes it a hat-trick of coaches from the EliteDre@mTe@mers league: Footylover18, aka Vamsee, is our Adelaide-based guest. His team Footylover18 EDT is ranked outside the top 1000 in DT, but Vamsee has plenty of street cred because his team in the Sunday Mail competition is ranked #1 which means he’s in line to land $5000.

Once we go through FL18’s team, we get on to the Round 14 review, covering Jason Johnson, Jobe Watson, Joel Selwood, Joel Corey, Paul Chapman, Martin Clarke, Tarkyn Lockyer, Leigh Montagna, Justin Koschitzke, Jason Akermanis, Kane Cornes, Justin Westhoff, Warren Tredrea, Brett Burton, Mark Ricciuto, Rick Ladson, Lance Franklin, Quinten Lynch, Andrew Embley, Michael Rischitelli, Peter Everitt, Paul Hasleby, Heath Scotland, Jeff White, Jesse W. Smith, Troy Simmonds, Adam Pattison and Scott McMahon.

In the Boys In The Bubble segment we go through Byron Schammer, Matthew Maguire, Jeff Farmer, Paul Bower, Chris Grant, Josh Thurgood, Jack Riewoldt, Sam Iles rather quickly, then discuss Ben Reid and Chad Jones for a bit longer… but m0nty decides on Michael Newton.

In the Crack the Ton feature we prognosticate on:
Matthew Richardson
Andrew McLeod
Josh Drummond
Joel Selwood
Drew Petrie
Matt Priddis
Brad Johnson
Jimmy Bartel
Nick Riewoldt

After the success of RaCKingEmUp as our first guest last week, we choose another coach in the #1-ranked EliteDre@mTe@mers league, this being the inimitable Skooks, a Perth lad whose team Skooks Inc. is ranked at 62. Molly and m0nty try to pick a few holes in his side, and we also talk about Skooks’ lovechildren Daniel Dzufer and Jake King.

On to the Round 13 review. Brent Stanton, Jason Winderlich, Ricky Petterd, Jimmy Bartel, Peter Everitt, Robert Warnock, Brendan Fevola, Bryce Gibbs, Jarrad Waite, Jonathan Brown, Daniel Dzufer, Simon Black, Kane Cornes, Nick Dal Santo, Troy Simmonds, Graham Johncock, Andrew McLeod, Nathan Van Berlo, Matt Priddis, Matt Rosa, Chad Fletcher, Daniel Giansiracusa, Scott West, Shannon Grant, Tim Boyle, Jarryd Roughead, Lance Franklin and Mitch Thorp are all under the microscope this week.

In the Boys in the Bubble segment we discuss Ryan Murphy, Mark Nicoski, Kris Massie, Luke Vogels, Albert Proud, Travis Boak, Malcolm Lynch, Adam Hartlett, last week’s winner Martin Clarke… and then m0nty gives the award to Nathan G. Brown, despite the feeble protestations of Skooks.

Molly protests that maybe we should can the Crack The Ton segment this week because m0nty scored a perfect 9 out of 9 last week, compared to Molly and Rackingemup only managing 9. M0nty presses on despite these objections, and this week’s predictions are as follows:
Brad Johnson
Andrew Carrazzo
Jamie Charman
Scott Thompson
Chad Fletcher
Nathan G. Brown
Dane Swan
Brett Kirk
Chad Cornes

Finally in our general football talk segment we discuss the Alan Didak incident and its implications, talk a little bit about the imminent return of Ben Cousins, and m0nty talks about the soft launch this week of RealFooty Stats which he worked on in conjunction with Prowess and Fairfax Digital.
