Gigsy's Ladder Comp: Round 4 - As you were
G'day, ladder lovers.
Round four saw North Melbourne rise to the top of the ladder for the first time since 1998 but Gigsy's Mum remains at the top of the ladder ladder, where she was after round three. I guess that just goes to show that, the more things change in the real world, the more they stay the same in the ladder comp world.
Well, actually, that's not entirely true. Mum was equal with Al W after round three but she's now burnt Al off, leaving him all of two points behind, with Mum on 60 and Al on 62. We have a three-way tie for third place, with the Ex-Wife's New Man, The Thoroughbred and Chris W all 64, just ahead of Chris T's fourth-placed 66.
Meanwhile, Belarusian baker Yrag Legov continues his remarkable climb up the ladder ladder. He was stone motherless last in 134th place after round two, jumped to 132nd last week, and is now 131st. If this improvement keeps up, Legov may well overtake his arch-nemesis Gary Vogel midway through the year. Gary's four weeks so far have seen him go from 71st to 82nd to 87th to 93rd.
Last year's winner, Footy Maths Institute, is waiting in the wings to pounce, in 23rd place and only 14 points from the lead. The 2015 runner-up, though, Adam C, will have to come in from a long way back if he's going to have an impact this year. He's currently sitting equal 122nd, on exactly 100, 40 points adrift of my Mum.
Obscure player anagrams of the week
On a personal note, my ladder is going worse than most and I find myself in 109th spot. In an effort to somehow get myself up to the top of the ladder ladder, I introduce to you ANDREW DALE. (Click on his name for full details.) Sure his V/AFL career might have consisted of just two matches for Melbourne in 1986 (both losses), but he's an anagram of ANDREW LEAD. Seriously, though, who am I kidding? My only chance of taking the lead in this comp would be if I submitted A NEW LADDER.
For now, I'll just have to bask vicariously in the ladder-leading sunlight shining down on Mum. An email with a spreadsheet of all ladders will be winging its way to ladder entrants over the next 24 hours. In the meantime, until next week, happy laddering!
