UNOFFICIAL LISTENER POLL!

While we're getting back into regularly scheduled quidditch (Congraaaaats Cats!) I wanted to do a little series on 'What Stats Matter' for each position! SO I'M ASKING YOU NOW, WHICH SHOULD I START WITH?

SPEEDY SEEKERS?

( Toby, not usually a dog to go gaga for other people than his human, was clearly going wild whenever Chuck was near. How very curious. )

[Kirl]
You were right.

[Dunbar]
You busy tomorrow?

Ah, being able to see the charity match from an entirely neutral point of view really was a truly entertaining spectacle (and not just in the media box - right, ladies?). I have a piece to write for the Ottawa Oracle for it, actually, but having recorded some live pieces during the match, we'll be running a special feature at the weekend along with fan feedback on this, and the other matches that have already taken place this bloc. I am looking forward to it already.

Mon ami, our producer was not pleased when he found out you were doing your special programmes on certain positions! We were going to do something similar, but instead, I have proposed we do a mid-season "top 5" for each spot, and argue the case for each player to be the best in their position so far. Do you feel like coming on to make arguments on a statistical basis?
