And so, again, we have a new leader. Bravo to PT on snatching first. He's won the lot before you know. Under the radar is his specialty. And it's highly likely that he too is out of the country right now.
Tony of fourth placed J@TS has proven to be quite right with his statistical analysis of some weeks ago, when he called for more attention to margin. Our top 4 all share points; it's only the margin between them. Margin has proven Patrick's Achilles heel over in the UK this week. Must be hard to judge the subtleties from so far away. Congrats also to 8 year old Tiger Lucas who has jumped into the Top 10 with his round winning score of 8, Margin 1!! The only 8 of the round - bravo Lucas. He also had an extraordinary game for the Newtown Swans Under 8s last Saturday. Played the raking halfback with scary aplomb.
I would like to extend special mention to Lyndon too, who has held down that last spot with unshakable conviction since round 3 or thereabouts, when he had his week of missed tips. He too may have been technically robbed, but he continues to put in week after week without any sign of progress. After Round 9, however, he is finally within striking distance. Could Round 10 be the one which takes him over the top of Jack? I for one would be sad to see him surrender the wooden spoon. The Backpocket final siren arvo tea party would dearly miss his scones. They are the stuff of legend. Then again, Jack may have something to offer in that department.
For any of you who wish to claim technical robbery but have not had the courage of Ian to come forward, let me know what you think you should have scored in your disaster round and we'll keep a manual running tab.
