Sean 5,997 Posted June 22, 2017 Well done TMIB you have done a first rate job.Cant believe I am in the Top 10.Not sure if I can keep that up but I have a few hits left this year I reckon! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You don't have that bad of a team actually. Apart from Gasciogne, Hawking and maybe Hallenga, you don't have any really bad picks. You definitely have potential, especially since it looks like Stefansson won't last (a crucial hit for the title winner imo). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sean 5,997 Posted June 22, 2017 Yeah I reckon I will get Stefansson King Michael Pete Frates and Smith Hart.Yes the 3 you mentioned arent the best picks but the odds of all 3 making 2018 are not fantastic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Done well with some 50/50ers: Aikman (on my shortlist but just didn't trust instincts), Fawkes, Stewart and Joost. Stiles/Michael/James/Harper are also 50/50ers. Karl and Hart are whens, not ifs. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sean 5,997 Posted June 22, 2017 I tried to make best use of the drop 40 bonus.King Michael was a sub for Piers Sellers but I figured either would make the drop 40.I also had Rick Parfitt and Colin Meads as subs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,119 Posted June 23, 2017 I mentioned the love boat being a potential dark horse. He, at the moment, has only six hits, with two sure to come (Johnson, Elias) and plenty of low hanging fruit to potentially win. Think he has a good shot, to be quite honest with you. Oh, and me not expecting Kobayashi to obit now has The Dead Cow potentially have a top 5 spot. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CastAway 475 Posted June 23, 2017 I know I'm not entered in the DDP, but I've been keeping an eye on it because I'm interested in entering next year and I have a question: Shouldn't Kohl and Cant both give 6 points since they were in their 80s? Yet Kohl is listed at 8 points... Or am I understanding something wrong? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sean 5,997 Posted June 24, 2017 Indeed. Antibiotic resistance is bloody horrendous.I knid of hope the guy just slips away in the next few hours.Clearly things are not going to improve for him.Reminds me of my Grandad.We were told recurrent UTI`s would lead to antibiotic resistance and death.Fortunately for him when that happened his heart was so weak that he just went into cardiac arrest so avoided pneumonia and other complications.

Hmm Only myself and Advent Avalanche saw fit to select him for DDP duty this year. The rest of you can feel smug at our joint frustration at getting so painfully close to a unique pick bonus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
