G-League update

Wow, I haven't written about Geelong league for a while.

Well, we're in the tail end of Season 3. We've seen a longer season (9 of 10 rounds completed) and two new teams - Khaos and Storm. And we've seen BUUF's revival from a winless season and a half, to a Goldberg-like winning streak. Of course it certainly helps when you get folks like Dan Rule back from Worlds, and Tarrant, Doobie and Amanda finishing uni for the year.

So at the moment the ladder is topped by Khaos (led by Dave Pelletier and Tyler Dickson) and Yoghurt Slingers (defending champions, led by Jake Angelovich and Josh Logan), with Storm (Lewi Broad) and BUUF rounding out the top four. First season champions Vintage (Cal Broad and Nick McCoy) missed their chance at the finals this week with a loss to the Slingers, and Flying High (Pete Nixon and Andrew Berry) languish at the bottom.

Coinciding the school holidays, the league goes on hiatus until January 27th, with round 10 being played on that date. BUUF face off against Storm, who are the other in-form team, after what will probably be a month-long battle of Facebook sledging. The semis are the week after, with what ought to be a quality grand final taking place on Tuesday February 10th.
