A rather dapper looking Headless cheers himself on from his customary position in the Mount Buller dugout.


20. Headless - 895.1


Having featured regularly in SpudQoach™ history as one of the most selected players of all time, 'Less finally tried his hand in the qoaching arena in his first ever entry in the SpudQoach™ competition. I would say he 'threw his hat in the ring' but as we know he can't wear hats because... well, they simply don't become him.


Now I have to tag friend of the competition eth-dog here, primarily to let him know that he did a thing. As did Headless, who has secured first place in the mid season reveal, in that he is the first to be highlighted because he is dead last. To be fair to my dearest of friends, any other season and his Spudscore™ would see him sitting comfortably mid-table however early running suggests the Season 35 edition may be one of the lowest scoring and most hotly contested competitions in SpudQoach™ history.

Let's take a closer look at Team 'Less shall we?


Huzzah! - I Dont Care - 32.0 SpudQoach™ points

Bah bow! - Test Tickle - 200.0 SpudQoach™ points (maximum points for those playing at home)


So, how? - Well, a costly captaincy selection of gab213 results in 90 plus points after the double whammy, with just two players sub 40 points and 8 of 12 players scoring 60 points or greater.


Now it does appear as though Test Tickle has recently resurfaced, and has been spotted lurking in the Las Vegas showers so should he start to rack up games in the latter part of the season that could reduce some of the significant damage done, however it's going to take a miracle for Less to charge up the ladder, with a bottom third finish pretty much assured from here.

Completely forgot about this one? Well we're back for a mid season stocktake as we assess each squad's progress after 10 rounds of spudtacular Season 35 qooty.

Will eth-dog come in dead last again? Did Tonga Bob git gud? Is The Jesus going to melt? Could Callums_Guns salute once again after a SpudQoach™ hiatus?

It looks like bestie might have missed the brief, as rather than utilise her backyard for a bumper potato crop, Ligma chose to build a pool for her inevitable tears after a rough first crack at SpudQoachery™.


19. Ligma - 888.0


Making her first foray into the SpudQoach™ arena, Ligma could have been expected to have a fairly sound knowledge of tubers given her time spent at the Royals, Bombers and the Old Boys, however she clearly ignored said potatoes around her in her quest for the league's most extensive bestie collection.

As eth-dog might attest, SpudQoach™ is an unforgiving beast, and it takes a keen eye for spuddery to thrive, something that is most often honed over painful years of wading through the mediocrity of the Sweet FA competition.

Let's take a closer look at Team Bestie shall we?

Huzzah! - Chief - 23.9 SpudQoach™ points

Bah bow! - Elmer_Judd - 132.7 SpudQoach™ points


So, how? - Well, a funny yet damaging captaincy selection of former admin current muppet NaturalDisaster has resulted in almost 150 SpudQoach™ points after the captaincy double, while just two players sub 40 & two players in excess of 100 SpudQoach™ points further compound the blow out.


Not sure there's much hope for recovery besides perhaps Senor M and Juddy playing every game for the remainder of the season to somewhat reduce their Spudscores™, but even still a bottom third finish is as set in stone as the rather smart looking backyard pool she seems pretty pleased with.​

AS promised, Wiggy hasn't had to wait terribly long for his appearance in the SpudQoach™ standings after being stitched up by a plethora of former teammates who despite being spuds as people, have actually proved to be rather handy on the qooty field in Season 35.


18. Elton Johns Wig - 855.6


Another first up SpudQoach™ entrant, Elton Johns Wig has been around long enough to know a spud when he sees one, and expectations pre-competition were that he would challenge in the top half of the draw. A pretty decent squad on paper punctuated with former Furies and long time sparring partners, he looked go to go and in the mix to contend.

But much like perennial cellar dweller eth-dog, he rather surprisingly finds himself at the bottom of the heap at the mid point of the competition after some particularly costly selection errors. But I mean this is a man who chose to move to the Furies and also chose to leave the Warriors, so perhaps poor decision making is just how he rolls? I'll let you be the judge.

So to run the rule over Team Wigs...


Huzzah! - Art Vandelay_ - 16.4 SpudQoach™ points

Bah bow! - fitzroybowiedog - 179.2 SpudQoach™ points


So, how? - A reasonably decent squad has been absolutely decimated by the inclusion of fitzy at captain, as not only is the former Roys captain and recent Hall of Fame inductee one of the most high scoring players in this season's edition, but the captaincy double score sees a whopping 358.4 SpudQoach™ points blow Wigs right out of contention.


The only way back up the ladder from here for Wigs would be a triumphant return of fitzy to Brunswick Junction Oval, which unfortunately looks about as likely as a Cadsky administration at this point. Still, the groundwork is set for future competitions given the overall structure of the side is sound, and Wigs has simply fallen into one of great pitfalls of the SpudQoach™ competition that makes it so unpredictably delicious. ​

I can't help but feel like the constant tagging means I've actually done okay

 

[TheInjuryFactory]

Coming up quite early in the SpudQoach™ standings for Season 35 at the midpoint of the season, it appears ND put as much thought into his squad as he did the approving the Hawks rebrand.


17. NaturalDisaster - 823.4


Back for his third stint at SpudQoach™ after a career high finish of 5th in S29, NaturalDisaster has proved to be a solid performer in the SpudQoach™ arena. But in a strong field in the Season 35 edition, he finds himself languishing in the bottom third of the table despite a fairly reasonable compilation of the league's most spudly types. You would think someone who's had not one but two stints at the Furies would have a better grasp of spuddery, but here we are.

Former Hawks teammate eth-dog hasn't made the cut, however a smattering of former teammates and sparring partners punctuate the squad to show that despite appearances, ND was still somewhat in touch with the league despite running it head on into the expansion pylon with the Hawks in the car.

So let's see where we're at with Team ND...


Huzzah! - Drunkgoliath - 24.8 SpudQoach™ points

Bah bow! - darthmann - 168.7 SpudQoach™ points


So, how? - Another squad with just two sub 40 Spudscore™ players which puts the overall squad out of genuine contention, and a reasonably costly skipper selection of okeydoke7 delivering almost 100 SpudQoach™ points when coupled with the costly selection of the reclusive darthmann up forward sees ND cellar dwelling.


With the Sin City depth player unlikely to find his way back into the senior side for the remainder of the season, there's not much room for improvement between now and season's end, meaning ND and his potato pals can at best hope for an incremental improvement, much like Kennedy Parker assuming the administration of the league.​

Steady on. That is a bit tough on darthmann . At last count there were 15 depth players at the SmarmyPratts.

philreich is less Skipper, more grave robber to fill out that team. Could probably get a job at the Cony Island cemetery.

CEmus are instinctively inquisitive, and in Season 35 the SpudQoach competition finally piqued the interest of everyone's favourite flightless bird, sante.


16. sante - 801.3


Making his first appearance in a SpudQoach™ competition, the Mount Buller fave managed to compile a fairly reasonable squad for an animal that has no hands to tend to adequately tend to said crop. Perhaps it was the knowledge passed down from his cousins at Potato Point, or perhaps he just found himself in a paddock of an unsuspecting potato farmer and refused to leave... either way let's take a good look at Team sante and his squad of tuber delights.


Huzzah! - Chief - 23.9 SpudQoach™ points

Bah bow! - Test Tickle - 200.0 SpudQoach™ points (maximum)


So, how? - Unfortunately another victim of Test Tickle 's season of reclusion, he earns maximum points from the former Bears skipper who fell out of favour at Vegas this season, in addition to just two players sub 40 which is a bit of a trend with the squads featured in the bottom third of the standings. However his captaincy selection of the Dragons' Chief was a masterstroke which has helped him to stay in contention for a mid table finish.


With any luck a recently resurfaced Testy may assist Team sante to climb up the ladder, however a fairly high scoring squad sees him unlikely to seriously challenge in his first foray into the SpudQoach™ arena. ​

 

[eth-dog]

Tiffy, have you calculated it correctly?

 

[TheInjuryFactory]

Unfortunately Bob's Qoaching™ looks to be a failing division of the expansive and highly successful Bob's Things™ conglomerate.


15. Tonga Bob - 797.7


League luminary and popular Coney Island captain Tonga Bob returned for his fourth stint in the SpudQoach™ qoaching ranks, having finished last season's competition with the wooden hoe. On track for his best ever scoring return in Season 35, a much improved Team Bob looks set to challenge his best ever finish of 10th back in S30. Unfortunately an extremely competitive market (garden) this season sees Bob's crop withering in the bottom third of the field, with a squad almost identical to 16th placed sante, only with slightly more woo.

Having saved eth-dog the ignominy of back to back final placings in S34, one of the league's few good guys has supported the concept through leaner times and for that, he will always be a friend of the competition.

So let's turn over the soil on Bob's crop shall we?


Huzzah! - Chief - 23.9 SpudQoach™ points

Bah bow! - Test Tickle - 200.0 SpudQoach™ points (maximum)


So, how? - An almost carbon copy of Team sante, we have yet another victim of Test Tickle 's inactivity, as Senor Testiculo earns his former teammate maximum points. Again with just two players sub 40, the team scoring average is on the higher side and pushes Bob out of the mix for Season 35. That said, the Chief at skipper selection will probably keep Bob off the very bottom from here.


Bob has always been kind to SpudQoach™, sadly to date it's been a love unrequited. That said, the flag bearing Warriors skipper looks set for his best ever SpudQoach™ finish. Proud of you bossman!​

You would think damicky would be a tuber expert given his time at the Colosseum, yet here we are.


14. damicky - 792.5


Wonders skipper and S32 EKA winner damicky has joined the SpudQoach™ ranks in Season 35, turning his agricultural attention from dairy farming to crop growing which one would expect him to be a natural with given he captains some of the greatest spuds on offer. Sporting a fairly unique crop with several points of difference to those below him on the rankings, the cheese finds himself in limbo between seriously contending and being an also ran.

A fine first up effort given the strength of the S35 field, damicky has shown some promise in the qoaching arena and looks set to contend in future editions with some learnings to come from some selection mishaps this season.If eth-dog can turn it around, so can you cheesy fella.

So let's take a geez at Team Cheese...


Huzzah! - Headless - 27.1 SpudQoach™ points

Bah bow! - Proper Gander - 106.7 SpudQoach™ points


So, how? - Well yet another squad with only two players sub 40, with a particularly costly captain in philreich at 77.5 times two, and the PG kicker with 100 plus SpudQoach™ points pushes cheese well and truly out of the running.


Cheese, welcome to the SpudQoach™ family and good luck on securing a mid table finish this season with a few things going your way in the back half of the season.​
