I was going to post a team when line ups were named, but then suddenly family wanted to go out for dinner at 6:20 so then forgot about my XV teams (This and Worlds) :(. Will see if I should bother with last round's team or just bypass Westhoff, McVeigh + Grundy/Shaw. Sorry guys/gals.
Damn, I forgot about it potentially being partial lockout here in Euros and stupidly made Wines C (remembered to make Jack VC though). Oh well, still a good start from Wines, Jack and Boak but I've picked the worst of the lot for captaincy. :(

Just going to bypass Port/Swans players and name a new team over last round's team. This is despite Westhoff's 113, because Shaw, Grundy and McVeigh all drag it down so rather not :P.
Last weeks Team.

I propse a rolling lockout this weekend to deal with the uncertainty of the crows vs geelong match
Wait if I forgot to name a team so i get last weeks team, can i still edit it due to partial lockout?
If I can, I'd like to play Gawn over Longer, Cal Sinclair into forwards over Billings, Toumpas in for Stanley, Jack Steele as B Emg, Longer into Backline OOP, and Caleb Daniels as F emg. Cheers
Hanners C worked out well...
I have decided that because of the Thursday partial lockout, that teams that missed the cuttoff can either choose to name a team without sydney port players or
they lock in sydney port players from their team last week and can edit everyone else.
I hope everyone finds that fair.

For those of us with Crows and Cats, will we be following the lead of the other XVs comps (Worlds and BXVs) and using the DT averages of the players so far this season?

Okay so weird spot, I named Port players from the Thursday game but didn't name a team before tonight's lockout.
My team from last round was:
B: Ibbotson, Kolodjashnij, J.Gibson, Duryea
M: Ebert(C), Shiels, Stanton, Masten
R: Martin
F: Gunston, Breust, Wingard, Crisp
U: Shiel, Schulz
E: B.Vince(M), Merrett(F), Sutcliffe(B), Leuenberger(R)
The team I named on Thursday was:
B:
C: Ebert(VC),
R:
F: Wingard
U:
E: Schulz (F)
The players I named Thursday HAVE to be locked in, but that means I can't just simply take last rounds team. What I'll do is add in the players from tonight's game that were played last round and pick the rest of my side around that.

Round 9 Results
Belgian Bashers 148 DEFEATED Belarus Bison 113
Bashers just too strong for the Bison. Lifted by Neale's + Cotchin's heroic performance in the midfield, they dismantled the Bison with only Mitchell and Darling really putting their mark on the scoreboard. Bison weren't helped with 2 starter-sub players + 5 other players who didn't even crack 50! Even if they did, reckon the Bashers would have been too strong.
Macedonian Wolves 142 DEFEATED Greek Titans 123
Wolves loved Leu's performance on the weekend! One of their few standouts which really was a team effort with Jobe Watson their lowest score with 52, a handy HGA! Titans coaches would be kicking themselves! They changed Gawn as solo ruck and Longer to the backline, which resulted in Longer scoring MORE than Gawn despite OOP (119 would have been full). Wouldn't have won them the game, but food for thought come the next few weeks. Hannebery scored huge with 292 as Captain, but not enough to lift them over the Wolves, who've built up quite the season thus far.
Svalbard Valkyries 138 DEFEATED Hungarian Hippos 119
Hippos put on another solid score, lifted by Goldy and Parker and had others perform fairly well. Curnow been in good form for them and slots well into M4. Svaldbard though were able to come away with the victory despite 3 scores below 50. How they managed that? Everybody else in their team scored 80+, so really helped carry those who had a down week. So a great team display shown there to not a few tear down the team.
English Lions 160 DEFEATED Swiss Storm 127
Huge win by the Lions! Midfield was just unstoppable and had contributors from all over the ground. They cracked the 160 mark even with an OOP ruck! Scary stuff for when finals roll round :-X. Storm have some good pieces, just need to continue building on them in the off season, but hardly a competitive match here.
Russian Roulettes 143 DEFEATED Croatian Crushers 132
Forwards and utilities put on a solid effort for the Crushers, and not to mention they were hurt by having to play an OOP Ruck. Russia were lifted by the return of Ablett and put on a solid all round effort as only 3 players reached the ton but they were able to grab the victory.
Iceland Polar Bears 123 DEFEATED BY Serbian Eagles 150
Dempsey scored 8... In the entire game.... Just to cap off a pretty meh week for Iceland. No ruck, forwards underperformed but Midfield only real shining light along with David Swallow's return! Shame Serbia was just too strong top scoring this round! When they had 8 players crack 90 including Pendles 304 as Captain and 143 from Boyd, really showing they are still a force to be reckoned with. Also still had Weller as OOP, so got his 102 halved.
Spanish Stallions 148 DEFEATED Swedish Metal 131
Loopholing JPK's 152 as Vice Captain was a great idea by the Spanish coaching panel, backed up with 4 other centurions, proved too strong for the Metal to handle. Not like the Metal did too badly themselves, just not able to keep up with the Raging Stallions. Captain Montagna going strong and Blicavs a great ruck to have, but their forwards severely let them down.
