ROUND 20 UPDATE

 

 

What a week!

And what a tight tussle we have at the top of the leaderboard! Try saying that after a couple of scotches!

And just like in Pakistan, we’ve had a change of leader.

Guido Sanchez has literally handed the yellow jersey over to aqueous, with SUPERBOOT idling his time away now in 3rd spot.

The top 3 are on 116 points each, and 1st and 2nd are only separated by margin of 2 points!

It hasn’t been this close since 1974, when the inaugural winner of our comp, Coolio, beat himself by a point.

 

I can’t bear to watch. And I’m not talking about Channel 7’s dodgy coverage of the Qantas Olympics.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Channel 7 “commentary” highlights from the past week

“Not only is he soooooo good, he’s soooo brave, soooo courageous.”

Now listen friends, it’s nearly the 1st anniversary!!!! of last year’s funniest football moment.

The night Geelong Cat Corey Enright, got the AFL’s first recorded PIU (Possession in Undies) stat.

I wanted to refresh everyone’s memory, so thought I’d show the stats sheet again.
