Competition SpudQoach™ Season 35 - Congratulations sausageroll !!

[eth-dog]

Shit. You must have something wrong Tiffy. I suck at this game!

 

[Falconista]

After seasons upon seasons of tireless & fruitless toil in the SpudQoach™ fields, our man eth-dog has finally hit pay dirt in Season 35.

4. eth-dog - 598.9


Since making his competitive debut back in S30, eth-dog has always been the SpudQoach™ equivalent of Eric Moussambani. For those who may not remember him... 'Eric the Eel' was an 'Olympic' freestyle swimmer from Equatorial Guinea. I use the term 'Olympic' rather loosely, because while yes he swam at the Sydney 2000 Olympics, he qualified via random wildcard, won his heat because the other two swimmers pulled out, and he went on to set an Olympic record for the slowest ever recorded time at an Olympics for his event. But Eric the Eel won countless hearts and minds for his sheer endeavour and his efforts epitomised the courage of the human spirit in fighting against great adversity to finally make it to the finish line.

eth-dog has similarly toiled as we have all watched on in admiration of his sheer determination to compete despite his performances, and so come S35 the brave eth-dog once again lept into the pool to aimlessly flail as the eyes of the SpudQoach™ world looked on in equal parts awe, disbelief and horror. And yet here we are, my friends.

eth-dog the Eel has finally faced down his doubters, overcome great adversity and compiled an outstanding SpudQoach™ squad in his fourth attempt, and finds himself in a fittingly lofty fourth position at the halfway mark of the race.


So let's take a look at his magnificent squad shall we?


Huzzah! - BRAB - 25.9 SpudQoach™ points

Bah bow! - Mobbs - 78.6 SpudQoach™ points


So, how? - Despite only three players with scores sub 40 in the squad, at the opposite end of the spectrum Team eth-dog also has just the one player scoring 60+ SpudQoach™ points, with just 21.3 SpudQoach™ point variance between his high and low scorers after taking out the two outliers. This would have to be one of the most consistent squads we have ever seen in the history of SpudQoach™.

With a score that would have seen the doggy dogg finish runner up back in S30, and a top 5 finish in both seasons 31 & 34, he's seriously in contention to put all his SpudQoach™ failures behind him and secure the most unlikely of victories in what would be the most remarkable win in SpudQoach™ history. Much like Eric the Eel, it goes without saying that the whole SpudQoach™ community is behind you my man, here's hoping you give us a miracle finish you so richly deserve!

Proud of you.​

You may have a like for the 'Eric the Eel' reference.

PS: his competitors in the heat were disqualified rather than pulled out.
PPS: Eric is now a swimming coach. Maybe eth-dog the eel can follow a similar path and coach a few of us next season in how to spud better.

Despite retiring from the Sweet FA, Chipmunk still managed to drag himself out of retirement to once again play his favourite tuber based strategy game, his beloved SpudQoach™

3. Chipmunk - 559.4


The recently retired Phoenix skipper and league's most popular rodent Chipmunk has long been a valued member of the SpudQoach™ family, and so it was no surprise that despite spurning the league he would never treat SpudQoach™ with the same disdain. Once again the perennial contender has hit pay dirt with a high quality selection of spuds as he finds himself on the podium at the halfway mark of the competition.

With some nice POD picks among his crop, Chippy looks very well placed to possibly outdo his sensational runner up effort from S34 having come within just 30 measly points of pipping eventual winner and East Side mentor Agent93.

Let's look at Team Chipmunk...


Huzzah! - rye - 20.7 SpudQoach™ points

Bah bow! - Proper Gander - 106.7 SpudQoach™ points


So, how? - With 8 players sub 40 SpudQoach™ points, Chippy has cultivated his crop magnificently in Season 35, with just one legitimate howler in Proper Gander, and a further two players 70+ which is probably the difference between being competition leader and finding himself on the podium.

Chipmunk is very nicely placed from here to remain in contention for the title, with few concerns among his crop having so far avoided the pitfalls of others as all his selected players bar PG are currently active and at the same time consistently spudding it up. It would definitely make for a SpudQoach™ fairytale were he to go one better and salute in S35. ​

Having whittled down the field to the top 2 at the halfway mark of Season 35's SpudQoach™... it's time for chilli.

2. hotchilli - 547.0


Yet another brand spanking new Qoach off the SpudQoach™ production line, Roy turned Royal hotchilli has performed magnificently to find himself in the top 2 squads in the competition mid season, in what has been a remarkable effort to date. As one of the low key brightest stars of the new generation of the Sweet FA, hotchilli has recognised the need for the SpudQoach™ bump and we here at TiFmedia are all for it.

Former teammates are a rich recruiting ground when it comes to SpudQoach™ and you have carefully handpicked a couple of rotting old potatoes that have certainly fertilised what is again a very consistent and unique looking S35 crop.

So now to Team Chilli...


Huzzah! - zackah - 23.6 SpudQoach™ points

Bah bow! - Mobbs - 78.6 SpudQoach™ points


So, how? - Holding 7 players sub 40 SpudQoach™ points, hotchilli has amassed an extremely consistent squad and has managed to avoid the PG clanger that has beset two thirds of the competition, with only former teammate Mobbs coming back to bite him with 78.6 SpudQoach™ points, however that's his only selection to score more than 63 SpudQoach™ points, and his selection of another former Roys teammate, the uber spud zackah as skipper has paid big dividends.

Chilli, HC, hottie... well played on your first entry into the SpudQoach™ arena, and you look extremely well placed to go for the kill in the second half of the competition. 3 of the 6 previous SpudQoach™ winners did so in their first ever attempt, so the precedent is well and truly set should you manage to summit in your first attempt.​

Help a brother out Mobbs and stop scoring so many points.

Mobbs has long been confused by this competition and the constant tags, this probably isn't helping hottie (Settled on this one for you, has a nice ring to it)

With a long and storied Sweet FA career punctuated by a recent Hall of Fame induction in S34, should he hold on for the ultimate glory, it's hard to see 'Season 35 SpudQoach™ Winner' not being the single greatest achievement in sausageroll 's illustrious career.

1. sausageroll - 527.7


Speaking of first time SpudQoachers™, we have another SpudQoach™ debutant leading the field in this season's competition as beloved Mt Buller legend sausageroll finds himself at the top of the substantial heap at the mid point of the competition. With 506 games, no fewer than 5 clubs and 29 seasons under his belt, SR must have seen more spuds than Tony Galati in that time, and so it stands to reason that he would of course have one of the keenest eyes for elite spuddery in the league and he has most certainly delivered on that expertise.

While not necessarily sporting the most unique of squads, Team SR is punctuated with all killer and no filler, as he has successfully navigated clear of any backfire selections, while managing to open up a handy 20 SpudQoach™ point lead on second placed hotchilli by managing to carefully select many of the same players we have seen across most squads, only more of them.

So how did Team sausageroll do it?


Huzzah! - royboy2 - 24.2 SpudQoach™ points

Bah bow! - Mobbs - 78.6 SpudQoach™ points


So, how? - With a competition equal best 8 players under 40 SpudQoach™ points he has put himself nicely into contention, and while he has selected a further 4 players in the 40-60 SpudQoach™ point zone, with just one relatively high scoring player in Mobbs and an average captaincy selection in former teammate The Jesus with 36.9, the consistency of the squad has ensured a low overall Spudscore™ and thus the lead at the halfway mark.

sausageroll, welcome to the SpudQoach™ after all this time, congratulations on compiling a who's who of champagne Sweet FA spuddery and it looks like something will need to go drastically wrong from here to stop you becoming the 4th first time winner in the history of SpudQoach™​
