Gigs Ladder Comp - Round 15
Australian football comp leader is Australian Football leader
It all seemed so easy in 2014. Teams finished at least somewhere near where most of us thought they would. And as a result, the vast majority of us got low scores (that's good) in the Gigs Ladder Comp. Some pundits got crazily low scores, like our winner Tom R. whose final score was an amazing 16, and who at one point late in the season had an even more incredible score of 8!
Well, no more, dear ladder lovers. Those heady days are over. 2015 has us dazed and confused. Who would have thought that West Coast would be a top two side? (A few did, but not many.) Who could have guessed that Port Adelaide would slide so dramatically? (Not many at all.) And who could have predicted that losing their captain, their coach, their CEO, their reigning best and fairest player and a host of other veterans and champions would make the Western Bulldogs not just a slightly better side, but seemingly a far better side? As they say in the US and now here, too, because maybe we don't have an equivalent phrase, "Go figure!"
So seismic has been the shift that the current Ladder Comp leader - who just happens to be Adam Cardosi, the owner and founder of australianfootball.com (all above board, folks, I can assure you!) - has a score of 58. That score would only have been good enough for you to scrape into 138th place in 2014. Adam has had a stranglehold on top spot since round seven, and his current 14-point lead may mean that the rest of us are fighting for the prize money that goes to second through fifth places. But as they say, the AFL season is a marathon, not a sprint, so we may yet have some strange twists and turns to come.
Currently in second place is Footy Maths Institute, one of the very few who did pick a top-two finish for the Eagles. Hot on the Institute's heels are Harro and Laurie B, just two behind FMI. And only two behind those two, in equal fifth place, are Old Blue Stager, Elsie F, Damien L, and Cookie, who after 15 rounds is showing no signs of crumbling.
Bringing up the rear and in line to get his 10 bucks back is Theo Harms, the son of Footy Almanac head honcho John Harms. He's two behind halfwrittentale, who is in turn two behind Katwoman, with all three still in the coveted 'potential refund' territory.
From here until the end of the season, you'll be receiving weekly Gigs Ladder Comp updates so you can track your progress all the way to the Grand Final. (Remember, this comp is based on the post-Grand Final ladder, not the post-round 23 ladder.)
And for those who are wondering if they might have been anywhere near the lead at any stage earlier in the season, below is a list of the leaders in each of the first 14 rounds. Below that is the full current Ladder ladder. All entrants will receive an email with a full score spreadsheet attached in the next 24 hours.
Until next week, happy laddering!
