    Neither of those. It is decided by a Mega Yu-Gi-Oh tournament.

    Cool, my kids would love it. Have they put the times up on the web-site?

    Rock-scissors-paper is probably the best method.
    Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

    No times posted as yet. Here's a leader board though.

    Brett Kirk-won enough duels. His name is whispered in some secretive Yu-Gi-Oh circles.
    Barry Hall-still playing, surprised everyone with the Zombie Madness cards.
    Leo Barry-couldn't quite grasp the concept (he's more of a hero-clix guy). Tried his best though.
    Jude Bolton-a real dark horse, sources report that he's been using the Flaming Eternity cards.
    Adam Goodes-like Leo, Yu-Gi-Oh's just not his thing. His captaincy will be determined by a round of War-Hammer.

    Other great Yu-Gi-Oh types around the club are of course Paul Roos and Richard Colless. Longmire does well also, as does Nathan Gibbs and Ricky barham.

    Andrew Ireland doesn't get any of it, and is a big fan of the ever reliable-heavily outdated Rock-Scissors-Paper, as is Paul Kelly.

    Generally I think Barry did ok...his game was fantastic...but I could see him getting very frustrated late in the third quarter when Carlton were getting a run-on. It did make me wonder whether forwards are 'best' when it comes to captaining. At least an on-baller can take it upon themselves to go down back when the opposition are dominating.

    I liked the way Goodesy went down back in the last quarter and secured things down there. I am not sure if it was a coaches instruction or he decided himself to do that...but it really held Carlton off

    It's my impression that Goodes (like Hird) has a brief that allows him to roam wherever he feels he is needed most.

    Do you think he can wander over to the bench if he feels like a little sit down and a drink?

    I think he does.
    I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
    We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

    So when does he get to use his full license to abuse umpires?
