Congratulations to our runaway winner Morganashlee, who as 2017's Bay 13 Flogstradamus can now officially say #Morgswasright. Congratulations also to our placegetters Cooksen (2nd) and JoseMourinho (3rd).

Before we get to the standings, some notes:

- MAXIMUM GAWNAGE was the only flog to sweep the one pointers by answering all 8 correctly
- Pilchard_Adams was the only flog to correctly tip Melbourne for 9th place, ____ was the only flog to correctly pinpoint Deledio's games tally, and SwampCreature the only one to land Tom Boyd's (rounded) Supercoach average
- JoseMourinho and craffles both guessed the Grand Final loser/Leon Davis Medal double
- Striker (Jones), Morgs, and Frankston Rover (Jack) correctly guessed the COLA's 11th highest goalkicker
- Ronnie Baby and Cooksen were the only flogs to accurately give Adelaide the May Premiership
- Raveneyes, Floki, and myself were the only flogs to guess all members of the bottom 4
- Bosk, Jose, and Dinsdale also accurately predicted that Jobe Watson's coffee would be accompanied by donuts. Correctly guessing this was all that saved A Cut Above from the all time worst score in predictions comp history (not including the time Bombers2003 gave a response that made no sense )
- No one exactly got Charlie Dixon's contested marks (from memory no one even scored 3 points on it), Mayne's tackle difference, Thomas' free kick count, or Carlton's goalkicking (though a few got within 1)

Thanks and well done to everyone who had a crack this year.

The way FOTY went we'll be lucky to know who won the Toots by 2018.

If you made this your prediction you wouldn't have won the spoon this year.

Gosh darn it! I took this survey very seriously and my answers were carefully considered. I'm shocked to have fared so poorly and will now vacate the thread for a lengthy period of introspection and soul-searching.

Hamstring one was a bit off too. You went fairly close with all 3 (especially Smith), but none were exact.
