North Melbourne got the victory over Brisbane to advance to the semi with @benderiffic outlasting @T-Rex by 25 points.
Adelaide also advanced to the semi as @Warriors edged past Melbourne and @Ricky Bobby by 13 points.
The other top scorers were @FlatTrackBully (GCS), @stephen (StK), @Nothing (Fre), @Kennedy (Syd), @eekraN (Gee), @Spifflicator (GWS), @Shannon (WCE), @aleceee (WBD), @Serj (Ric).

@Tamuhawk topped this group and led the Hawks into the preliminary final with a 13 point win over Adelaide. Adelaide's rep in @Warriors was placed 3rd in the group so was a (lot) bit unlucky. Is there any limit to the good things that happen to Hawks supporters?
@BomberSam ranked second which allowed Essendon to claim a preliminary final spot with a 64 point win over North Melbourne and at @All is Wells.
The other top scorers for each club this round were; Brisbane @Foxy's Fe-Lions, Carlton @Disposable heroes, Collingwood @Vicwood, Fremantle @N29, Geelong @Cookie2711, Gold Coast @FlatTrackBully, GWS @Spifflicator, Melbourne @Ricky Bobby, Port Adelaide @Tails, Richmond @TigerTime, St Kilda @Russty_, Sydney @Kennedy, West Coast @GrainFedBeef, Western Bulldogs @aleceee
Four teams now remain for 2024 SCSOECC Cup and interestingly (and slightly disappointingly) they are the 4 teams that have raised the cup in previous seasons so we will be crowning our first 2 time champion this year.

@Chumpion ranked 1 in the group and led the Bombers to the SCSOECC Grand Final with a 41 point win over Carlton and @The Night Manager. Essendon were also ranked 2 with @WindyHillWizard.
@Snatch was ranked 3 for Collingwood meaning they also moved into the grand final with a 133 point win over Hawthorn and @Yasi.
The top scorers for the other teams were @Warriors (Ade), @teamcustard (Bri), @N29 (Fre), @Cat Attack Man (Gee), @Erich1036 (GCS), @NT.Thunder (GWS), @Deeman1 (Mel), @KLo30 (Nth), @Connoisseur (PTA), @Ginty22 (Ric), @Russty_ (StK), @Kennedy (Syd), @Shannon (WCE), @Stringer (WBD).
So the 2024 SuperCoach Scores One-Eyed Club Challenge Grand Final will be a repeat of last season where Collingwood will be taking on Essendon. The Bombers will be out for revenge after their heartbreaking loss to the Pies. Remember the teams finished tied on highest ranked score but Collingwood won because their 2nd ranked player was 17 points better than Essendon's.

Whilst they couldn't do it on-field I am sure the magpie army will be just as satisfied (or not) with going back to back in the SCS One-eyed Club Challenge. @MagpiePotato ranked 3rd in the group scoring 2642 in the final round to cruise past Essendon and @baz_machine by 96 points.
Top scores for the other clubs were @Fatboy64 (Ade), @Foxy's Fe-Lions (Bri), @Johnsy44 (Car), @N29 (Fre), @Cookie2711 (Gee), @Erich1036 (GCS), @The Misfit (GWS), @nawtay (Haw - top of the group and @Dingbat63 was 2nd), @frostylane (Mel), @All is Wells (Nth), @Tails (PTA), @Ginty22 (Ric), @stephen (StK), @Kennedy (Syd), @Rumbler (WCE), @Zim^zuM (WBD).
Honour Role

I really enjoy this Comp, thank you @Beg2Differ! The Graphics are exceptional.
For next year, perhaps also consider introducing a "Reserves Competition" where the winning teams are determined by the average scores of each player on the team. If it's not too time-consuming, this could potentially generate more interest.

The suggestion to use averages has been made before and I understand the rationale for that. Clearly the advantage the more followed teams have in this format has become clear over the 5 years it has run. I did think that it was likely that in one year a lesser followed team may bob up with some big scores at the right time and make a run in the finals but that obviously hasn’t happened. As I have posted before the prime objective here is to acknowledge the highest scorer of each supporter group and give that score some significance by using it in a comp against the other supporter groups highest scorer. You would lose that connection to an individual member if it moved to averages. I also don’t like averages because if you have a weak team or a ghost ship then it drags down the whole team. If I went that way I think using the median would be better.
I acknowledge you are not suggesting changing the format but adding a format however I am not a big fan of that. I think the majority follow this pretty casually (if at all) and I think it would just create confusion and probably diminish the winner of the main comp if their is a secondary one.
I also thought over time interest would increase and more teams would want to participate particularly the lesser followed clubs to increase their chances however that hasn’t really happened either. I have to recruit pretty hard before each season to get the numbers we have. Right now I have my doubt as to whether I will run it again next year but will make that call at the appropriate time.
Anyway this has turned into a bit of a sermon which wasn’t intended but I do thank you for your feedback and all those that have taken an interest.

Here's another idea for your consideration that could generate more interest, right up to the end of the season. (It could run parallel with the current Comp).
Organize the AFL teams into divisions, with each division determined by the number of participants for each AFL Team.
When the Finals approach, the 2 top teams from each division would qualify to compete in the finals.
An example:
Division A:
ESS - 31 participants
COL - 26
HAW - 19
CAR - 19
Division B:
NTH - 15
ADE - 14
WCE - 12
MEL - 11
Division C:
GEE - 10
RIC - 10
STK - 10
BRL - 8
PTA - 8
Division D:
SYD - 5
WBD - 5
FRE - 4
GWS - 3
GCS - 3
Based on the table below, the Finalists would be:
Div A: 1st. COL, 2nd. HAW.
Div. B: 1st. NTH, 2nd. MEL.
Div. C: 1st. BRL, 2nd. RIC.
Div. D: 1st. SYD, 2nd. WBD.
