THE FRED RACE
running.gif



The race for the season 37 FRED Medal is heating up as 3 players draw level on 61 goals apiece with just 3 games to go. Will the reigning FRED medallist go back-to-back? Will the hall of famer take their very first individual qooty award? Or will the young blood nab his first bit of silverware? Exciting times ahead.

Brenton Davy

Davy seems to have come out of nowhere to draw level with Sausageroll and DenieD right at the tail end of the season. A massive 19 goals in his last 3 matches (including a 9 goal and 7 goal game) has put Davy in the perfect position to claim his very first piece of silverware in Sweet-FA. Brenton will hope his form continues through the next fortnight as he comes up against some of the toughest teams to score against this season.

Fixtures:
Away @ Gumbies (#4 hardest to score against)
Home vs Old Boys (#1 hardest to score against)
Away @ Furies (#6 easiest to score against)


Travelling to Gumbies is one of the hardest road games in Sweet-FA. The reigning premiers have been stingy in their defence all season, making it hard for any full forward to kick a bag.

Old Boys are the hardest team to score against this season, giving up only 96.5 points per game. Davy will have to pull out all the moves to get a decent goal tally in this game.

The final game against Furies will be a little easier compared to the previous two matches as Furies give up the 6th most points per game (111 points per game). Davy might need to put in a big performance here depending on how the other games go.

Davy has the hardest run home of the three favourites, but if he continues his great form from the last 3 rounds he will be in with a real shot at the FRED.

DenieD

The reigning FRED medallist has put together another incredible season at full forward. He has taken his game up a notch lately, kicking 16 goals in his last 3 matches to draw level at the top of the leaderboard. He is seeking back-to-back FRED Medals for the first time since Mooch did it back in season 28 and 29.

Fixtures:
Home vs Demons (#2 easiest to score against)
Away @ Bombers (#4 easiest to score against)
Home vs Old Boys (#1 hardest to score against)


Both Wonders and Demons love to play fast free flowing qooty so the game will almost certainly be a shootout between the full forwards. Whoever wins that could very well go on to win the FRED. A massive friday night game this weekend.

Bottom of the ladder Bombers give up a lot of goal this season (18.8 goals per game), so DenieD should have a field day against a team that will be out of finals contention.

The final game will be the hardest by far. Old Boys give up the least amount of goals per game this season (approximately 16 goals per game) and they will be fighting for top spot on the ladder.

Two good match-ups then one really difficult one. DenieD will hope to be a few goals ahead before the final round, as that last game may prove to be tricky to put up a good number of goals.

Sausageroll started the season incredibly strong with 21 goals in the first 3 games to grow a commanding lead in the FRED medal. But after only 8 goals in the last 3 games (including kicking only one solitary goal in two of those matches) the rest of the pack has caught up.

Fixtures:
Away @ Wonders (#3 easiest to score against)
Home vs Hawks (#5 easiest to score against)
Home vs Warriors (#7 hardest to score against)

The Wonders game is looking to be a good old shootout scoring fest. Whichever full forward comes out on top might end up winning the FRED. Expect an exciting friday night contest between the two full forwards tomorrow night.

Hawks and Warriors at home in the final two games will be on the easier end of opponents compared to the other FRED contenders, but they certainly aren’t walk overs.

Sausageroll has had a dip in form lately and will be hoping to reclaim some of that early season spark in order to run away with the FRED from here.


<10% chance

Cap (5 goals back) and Tarkyn_24 (7 goals back)

Barely hanging on to the leaders heels​

It is unlikely that anyone 5+ goals back would be able to grab the FRED from here, but you never know. Cap or Tarks would need at least one 10+ goal game and a couple of very decent showings to steal it away from the favourites. Don't count them out just yet.


<1% chance

9 goals behind with just 3 games to go. It would be a miracle. Okey would need to smash out multiple 10+ goal games and even then would still probably miss out if any of the top 3 do similarly in the run home. But if anyone could do it, the fastest player to reach 1000 goals could.


No chance: Everyone else

Anyone 10+ goals back now is out of the race. Pack it in and prep for next season.

Good luck to everyone except Tarkyn_24
 
With the service I’m getting from our midfield, the Fred coming to the Throne is virtually a given. At least it is if Cadsky doesn’t pull another boneheaded move like last round when he moved me out of the goalsquare after 1/4 Time…

Just do your job. Imagine if you didn't kick 3 goals and 17,000 behinds last week.

1 ****ing game and he turns on me…
 
You have 1 job and I have full confidence in you
Sounds horribly similar to a coach having full support of the board…

Did you call Brenton Davy a young blood?
 
Yes. He's young at heart. Also under 100 games in qooty terms is pretty young.
I’m a 21 year old trapped in a 65 year old body…
 
How's this looking DenieD?
Well...

sausageroll kicked 5 and is now on 66 goals.

Brenton Davy kicked 4 and is on 65 goals.

And I kicked 3 to bring me to 64 goals.

Haven't checked any of the others but I don't think anyone caught up to the top 3. Still a close race in the podium positions.

Not bad from 4 possessions in the mud (or was it reconstituted plasticine at the House of Gumby???). It’s called efficiency.
 
How are the nerves mate? What's your pre game ritual look like?
Nice sleep in, followed by a nice brekkie and a session on the shirtfront bag.

Good to go.
