Sorry team, poor picking by me today. We were a couple of narrow margins away from a good result today. If you look at where we were after Round 10, we did well to give ourselves a shot at the play-offs. Not to be, but last week was a lot of fun. Of course we saw the flipside today but we died trying. It's been a pleasure being in the same team as all of you - enjoyed our ongoing messaging and positive team spirit. Congrats to the four teams who make the finals and good luck to all of you. Shouldn't have favourites but I'll be rooting for team AA - Howie's enthusiasm and optimism are hard to go past. Peter J - thank you once again for the most brilliant "dry & boring" comp I've ever come across - you are an absolute legend.

Yes exactly Rees - you live by the sword, .........

our time awaits Rees!

Yeah maybe so Hesi but we're ok with that. Tell us it was overkill when we're tied on points after next week and we go through courtesy of a better aggregate

Nice work team LDM. Always good when a plan comes off and now we go in to the last week still with an outside shot at the play-offs. Steve P marvellous tipping today!! Nice to have such a healthy aggregate too in the event of a tie - might be like an away goal. Howie and the AAs - unfortunately you caught us on one of our good days. I'm sure you'll bounce back next week - in fact, please do bounce back next week - we need your help.

It was a plan hatched out of desperation Howie. We need two 5-0 wins to have any shot at making the big show (and even that might not be enough). A 3-2 win wasn't going to cut it so we figured we needed some degree of uniformity in our selection. We settled on almost complete uniformity (with a little bit of discretion). Credit goes to Tony for hatching the plan and Steve P for that selection - he's our go to guy. but still a long way to go - I'd quote Mr Wolf from Pulp Fiction but this is a family show

We're awake now!

but wait there's more .......

R1 - 4/7 R2 - 1/2 R3 - 12/13 BB R4 - 3/7 R5 - 1/3 R6 - 3/5 R7 - 3/13 BB R8 - 2/10 R9 - 1/6 R10 - 7/14 Riccarton Race 3: 6/7 Race 4: 1/5 Race 5: 2/8 Race 8: 1/3 BB Race 9: 9/16 All the best Casper and team AA. Thanks Peter J. It''s Hollywood or bust time for team LDM. Actually Hollywood might be an exaggeration but we're going down fighting.

Brian, close to $3,000 aggregate is nice but give me 12-0 over 7-5 (or 4-8) anyday

Team LDM have won 31 matches and lost 29 (only two teams have won more matches) but still languish in 7th place - mostly down to very few bonus points and bad joker plays by the skipper. What would you give to have one of your team win their match every week? You'd only need to split the other four matchups and your team would win every week. Interestingly between the four of them TC, Brian, Richie and Jack have won 24 matches and lost 24 matches. TC's shoulders getting sore? (probably more from the big head)

Congrats to: - my Misere team-mates - nice win today and out of the cellar for the first time in quite a while. Couple of big wins in the remaining rounds and we have a very rough shot at the play-offs - team AA - outstanding effort today - the elusive 10 pointer - hats off to Howie and the team. - TC - the dirty dozen and no sign of slowing. Who's next? Thanks as always Peter J. Love this competition.
