Yep, this was a disappointing season for Tokyo. Although starting brightly at 2-1 and with four 130+ scores in the first five Rounds, it was all downhill from there, losing 12 of its proceeding 13 matches. But, the last two weeks have been encouraging from the Samurai with respectable 130+ scores against Dublin & Beijing. If they were to replicate that scoreline just once more against Cape Town, they'll have a real shot a victory and end their season on a high. But if they do... they will no longer be eligible for an end-of-first round priority pick. It's a win-win, or a lose-lose, depending on how you look at it. The Cobras enter this round  sitting 15th on both the real and points ladder; a good reflection of its under-performing midfield for season 2017. However, like the Samurai, their form of late (which includes four 130+ scores in the past 5 weeks) has been encouraging and has the real potential to build momentum for the upcoming pre-season. They won't play finals, but it'd be a realistic objective for 2018 if they can nail a few trades and make good use of their first draft pick which will fall in the top 5. It's been a pleasure as always Tokyo & Cape Town, and we will see you next year. For now, I'm backing the Samurai in this one!

A tempter for my MOTR, but not quite getting the gong. This is a real interesting match for Dublin who, despite currently 3rd and with a slight chance to finish 2nd, wants to finish 4th to face their chirpy modern day rival in New Delhi in a qualifying final next week. If Dublin lose here, and it's entirely possible, Pacific win (likely) and New York lose to New Delhi (very possible), then the Destroyers will get their wish. However, if they lose and both New York & Pacific win, they'll slip out of the 4. Regardless, Dublin has churned out yet another imposing Home & Away season which, although hasn't reached the heights of 2014-2016, will give it a red hot chance at taking out the premiership. In terms of scoring, you could say the same thing about Beijing. But, the football gods don't want this to happen yet, with the Thunder being on the end of simply incredibly losing results on a consistent basis, evident by their final-2 placing in the World Idol! Although a consolation prize, it would still be a fantastic achievement so the Thunder have PLENTY to play for and will be looking to go big against Idol-adversary Seoul. It's a real shame we won't see this team feature in finals, but we fully expect them to next year, because as Seoul has shown, the tide will turn. Adios Beijing, but I'm backing you guys to finish with a big win here.

Another tempter for MOTR, but again, just falling short. Both of these teams sit equal 8th with three other teams, but are behind all of them in percentage. The Reindeers started this year reminiscent of last season, where an awful scoreline inspired a mammoth mid-season turnaround to eventually see them make finals. But, without some of 2016's stars and the continued absence of Cyril Rioli, the poor performances have been dreadful, and the good ones are less consistent. It's likey PNL won't make finals, as they would have to win by like 300 SC points and for Christchurch to just beat Toronto. The same outlook applies to Cairo; the team once in the top 4 and 8-3 only to lose the next 5 games to quality opponents. Regardless of whether the Sands make the finals or not, this season has gone above and beyond expectations... the team the won the spoon last year, received Pick 2 as a PP (and DIDN'T TRADE EITHER OF THEM) made the top 4 at Round 11 for goodness sake! NigeLazer will certainly be nominated for Coach of The Year. I'm predicted neither of these teams to make finals, so on that note, I pay the farewell and all the best with the upcoming trade period. Cairo to end the year on a high for me.

The Tigers - our minor premiers - have been the dominant team of the Home & Away season to see their #1 points ranking rightfully book themselves a home qualifying final. Where this time last year they needed to make one last push to make finals, they have set themselves up for success and have established the mental advantage on all but New York (TBC), Dublin and Moscow. However, they're about to learn that their H&A achievements will become irrelevant in one weeks' time and that WXVs is basically determined by the roll of a dice in the final 4 weeks of August. Their opponents, New York, won't mind this fact, given they've had a fortunate but well managed run to finals where they are still yet to win the respect of a few of the big boys. I for one simply can't ignore the Revolutions' past two performances; evidence that they have timed their season to perfection and are ready to peak at the time of the year where it matters most. But gee, they need Tippett to come back. This week is almost all about wanting Sam Naismith to have a poor game. Congratulations to both on dominant H&A seasons, and I look forward to seeing you both back next week! New Delhi for me.

Last week might have just spelt the end for the Suns. That loss to the Royals highlighted just how much this team has lost from its dominant years with their age profile finally catching up with them. Sitting in 8th spot with four teams breathing down their necks, the Suns MUST win this game to make finals, where, given the form of Seoul... really makes losing to London hurt so much more. I’ve talked about it for much of the season, but Mexico City’s year has been littered with typical performances amongst a team in need of rejuvenation to recapture that dominant consistency. The Old Mexico City will win this game, and if they do, will deserve to play finals. The Magpies on the eve of making their first ever finals appearance and boy, is it deserved. After coming heartbreakingly close in 2012 and 2016, this Dangerfield led team is arguably New Delhi’s biggest threat where, in my view, clearly join them in the top two teams of the competition. Seoul’s starting XV might not be as spread out as its peers, but given that their lowest score in the past 9 weeks has been 142...  KeliveField seems incapable of letting them down. This week, they fight to consolidate a home qualifying final as well as the World Idol, but a magnificent season has already achieved. I cannot wait to see what they do in their first finals series. I’m tipping a farewell to Mexico City, and a supercharged Seoul waiting to play for the premiership.

The Islanders have lost four games when they’ve score 140+. So really, it’s fair enough that they get at least one back with a win from 124 against a team hoping to play finals. Despite the win, it was their lowest score of the season (seeing them exit World Idol) and to occur in Round 16, is only raising big concerns heading into their third and consecutive finals series. This season has seen the Islanders establish themselves as consistent force to be reckoned with and really, could be a smoky for the premiership. A top 4 placement is still possible for this team, with New York & Dublin both genuine chances to lose. Should that happen, they’ll play either Dublin or Seoul as the away team first up; neither a pretty picture. However, the rewards of winning that clash are enormous especially if they win, but even if they lose they would still be favourites to make a prelim. The Royals have experienced a year quite similar to 2016 in that they never really got going â€" grabbing a win here and there â€" but a lack of midfield power continues to condemn them to regular sub-130s. If this team were to get on the front foot of trading and do so aggressively, you would see them challenge for the eight next year. However, if this team is still patient enough to keep building youth, I fear another year like this one awaits them. Don’t be patient anymore, because wins like last week against Mexico City show that this team has the heart to take a big step and I implore them to do so. For now, goodbye London and all the best for the coming trade season, whilst at Pacific, I look forward to seeing what you can do next week. Islanders for me.

Thought about this one for MOTR as well, but think there is just one more match with higher stakes. flower last week hey? I cannot believe I was lucky enough to get Pacific on their lowest total of the year, only for me to choke and score even lower. The Berlin season has been a bit of a rollercoaster, with that mid-season being notably depressing. Wins against Seoul (170) & Dublin (156) are proof that we can cause damage in finals, but (I daresay the most I’ve had since 2012) 6 scores below 130 also suggest the Brewers would just be making up the numbers. Berlin are no guarantees to make finals, but with a favourable percentage over the challengers from 8th-12th, I’m optimistic that even if I lose this game, I should still scrape home. With the bullshower of Gawn & Spencer going down behind me, I’m hopeful Fyfe & Libba can get their shower together for the next 5 weeks and go deep into finals, even if I’m travelling in all of them. The Jaguars share the win/loss ratio with Berlin but don’t have as comfortable a percentage lead, and are in real danger of slipping at the last hurdle of the finals race. Although still a chance to make finals with a loss here, the absence of GAJ & Cripps pose significant challenges for the reigning premiers, who this time last year had Cripps inspire his GAJ-less team to a premiership.  Rio was a dominant force in the first 9 rounds of this season, but have had injuries hold them back since. Is there another that can stand up and deliver for this team? I’m not sure I believe this time, but then again I didn’t last year either. I’ll back my Brewers to bounce back from that horse shower performance and claim 6th spot.

In the last two weeks, Buenos Aires scored their 3rd highest and 4th highest scores of the year. These were 124 and 129. Look, I really admire the Dillos for making one last push to salvage something from the year, but they probably won’t â€" it’ll get given to them instead â€" the wooden spoon. All of us, Buenos Aires included, thought yep, trading Pendles is gonna make 2017 a little harder, but not THAT much harder. The Dillos were pretty unlucky really with injuries to Edwards, Elliott and Bennell deciding matches before they even started for the most part. But armed with Picks 1, 19 and (probably) 21 and some tasty players, I expect nothing but an aggressive trade period from VinZander and follow the path of New Delhi, Toronto and Cairo before them. The Spetsnaz had a similar sort of this season compared to last, in that their key premium players were missing for almost all of it. Hogan, JOM, NN and Coniglio were unavailable for large chunks (if not all) of the season and really, you’d be forgiven for throwing in the towel. But Moscow didn’t want to do that again. I don’t think I’ve ever been so impressed by a string of 130+ scores than I have been with Moscow from Round 6 this year; only failing to score sub-130 three times in the proceeding 10 games.  This netted them a 5-5 win/loss record that claimed the likes of Rio, flowerin New Delhi and Mexico City; proof that this level of output on a regular basis gives you a solid foundation to make a charge at finals. The Spetsnaz will be much better next year with these key men (hopefully) available for all of it, and the comp should be wary of them. But for now, farewell to both Moscow and Buenos Aires, and I wish you all the best in the upcoming trade season. Moscow for me.

Our last game of the H&A season rings my contest bell for the MATCH OF THE ROUND! The Saints season has been a funny one to see from a distance â€" not haha funny â€" but odd. Christchurch are probably the weirdest team in the comp, as they are full of dinosaurs surrounded by really really good no-name youngsters. Despite being no stranger to scoring sub-130s, the Saints have been impressive enough this year to challenge for finals and have been allowed every opportunity in the last 3 weeks to cement their place in them. However, CRUCIAL losses to New York & Cape Town last week (by 2 SC points) may have denied them from a place in finals, where they now MUST win this game to keep their season alive. But it almost seems some sort of divine being is setting Toronto up for a MAGICAL appearance in finals. This time last week, I wrote the Wolves off. Mathematically possible, sure, but so many results had to fall their way that the odds were just too stacked against them, sitting 12th at the time. But cue ALL the teams from 6th to 11th losing and giving them an amazing chance at finals! If Toronto win this game, and Mexico lose it, they will make finals. They might even make it if Mexico City win if they win by enough, but I don’t think that’ll happen. It would be an incredible story and one that I kinda want to happen. Win or lose, the Toronto has been a resounding success having looked a completely different team compared to 2016 and being in the finals conversation up until Round 17. The winner of this game, if we assume Mexico City loses to Seoul, will make finals IMO. Definitely MOTR. Good luck to both! But I think Christchurch win from here.

Not gonna lie, will not be missing typing up 2500 words for another 7-8 months :P

Massive, massive week of Worlds here.

Another sensational write up Purps

There's a chance that after we play NDT this week, we might just book the hotel for another week because we might have a replay at the same venue 7 days later!

We need this win for that to happen. If we lose, we'll likely drop to 5th and lose the double chance - and that would be a real shame considering we've been in the Top 4 all year

Surely you put in at least double the word count per match next week - it's finals!

Awesome work this year Purps. I'll try to do one round for you next season.

Mexico can win, and our match could still decide the 8 if Berlin annihilate Rio's percentage. I think the winner of Cairo/PNL won't be able to catch Rio on %.

I won't drop Gibbs, but do I back him in to bounce back and captain him?
Will Connor have a quiet one for the first time in a while or is he the savior?
Will former regular captain Mitchell be well rested and ready to dominate so he gets the C again?
Does Wells even deserve a spot when he's being outscored by the youngsters?
Do I trust the inconsistent Fiorini?
The same question about SPS?
Do I play Steele and/or ANB, in the mids over these guys? Up forward? On the bench?

Darcy picks himself but do I go with Roughead at U2? Has Vardy run his race?

Waite picks himself. As does McLean. Does Higgins?
Will WHE come back in after his enormous game last week?
Will Drew have a big one? He's been good every time he's played for Church.
Do I back in the previously in form Stewart after a poor week.
What the flower more does Ryan Lester have to do to get a game? Is he really that untrustworthy?

We're our opponent this week. Get ourselves right and we'll win. Beat ourselves and who knows what rage trading will happen in the trade period!

Brilliant work as always Purps.

It's going to be a tough ask without Pendles but we still managed 140 without him last week (which included some selection blunders) so who knows. Christchurch to flower up their selections again.

I can't see Cairo being unhappy with Roberton while Breust is almost irrelevant after the season he's had. Not the worst result.

Petrevski-Seton, Vardy and Lever to go huge. Wells can sit on the bench until next year when he's a forward again. Gibbs usually goes head to head with Jelwood and destroys him. If his dribbler brother plays then Mitchell might get the gig, or maybe I'll smarten up and realise that (C)onnor is the man.

Punishable by termination surely.  :o

Oh no. (C)onnor back on after his dislocated shoulder and on 0 points. Will be lucky to finish with 50.

Oh no. (C)onnor back on after his dislocated shoulder and on 0 points. Will be lucky to finish with 50.

Can confirm he is actually on minus 1 points :P

And the shoulder is out again. That'll have to do him for the day. Surely.

Approaching 1/2 time and Mundy is on 6SC whilst Scully is on 13

That's us cooked

Top 2 all year and in the last 2 rounds we'll slip to 5th now FFS  :'(

Waite was on fire with 40 points at quarter time. Early in the 3rd he gets injured sitting on 43 points. That's him in a nutshell.

I'm now curious to see who finishes 8th, because we'll be playing them next week

Can't believe how shower Mundy, Scully and Tarrant have been. I mean, they are putting up super low scores

OOP ruck and HGA against too. This could get ugly

Save these type of gAmes for the next 4 weeks please Clayton!

@Berlin, that was my third and last Flood

@Mexico City, that was your third and last Flood

@Buenos Aires, you receive a strike, and your team has been selected based on your list preferences. Will be shown in upcoming score update.

@Tokyo, you receive a strike, and your team has been selected based on your list preferences. Will be shown in upcoming score update.

Also, best decision ever to play Dunstan over Libba!

Dunstan you rippa!

Lol at me having had 11 players play already, compared to Rio's 2 :P

World Idol headed for a high scoring affair!

Quote from: Adamant on July 28, 2017, 08:42:02 PM
Matty White into I2 for Hamling who I don't love against Cameron/Patton.

Will those 7 points cost you the finals?

Gotta a close game in the making there too!

flower you Dangerfield.

Hanley may have ensured we still have a pulse.

Didn't watch the game what did he do, am I in trouble for next week?

Laid a tackle on Kreuzer which injured him but if Cotch and Dusty didn't cop suspensions earlier this season, Danger won't.

Drove Kreuzer's head into the turf in a dangerous tackle. Don't worry he won't get any weeks because he's Dangerfield.

Team of Outs:
M.Boyd, K.Kolodjashnij, T.Cutler, B.Vince
G.Ablett, P.Cripps, M.Robinson, S.Thompson

M.Wood, L.Jetta, A.Francis, S.McKernan
D.Pearce, J.Redpath

Should have traded me Cutler and Robbo!

Hey Levi, want Vardy in the name of completion?

Alright, so at this stage I can see the following:

Dublin vs Jing has no impact on the ladder. Dublin will finish 3rd
Classic NY on show this week meaning we drop to 5th
Mexico cooked and fall out of the 8
Berlin vs Rio likely to replay again next week
The winner of Toronto vs Church should secure 8th. Can only really miss if the winner of PNL vs Cairo gets the % required to jump them

Likely Week 1 finals
NDT vs Pacific
Seoul vs Dublin
New York vs Toronto/Church
Berlin vs Rio

Toronto vs Church and PNL vs Cairo are the games to watch today!

We'll just embarrass ourselves if we make it through to next week. Darcy is about to hit the wall (would probably hit it to the opposition since that's what he does best), (C)onnor and Waite gone and Gibbs putting in 20% effort. Not even the great Tom Boyd could rectify the situation.

Speaking of Levi, of course Casboult gets his best score of the year, beating his previous best by 23 points and getting like 53 points more than his average.

That said, we're still tracking okay with Buzza's score the only real let down. Most of our main players to come means anything could happen

PNL won't put in a bad score though but neither will we so gaining the necessasry percentage is pretty unlikely.

What's Mexico's % like? Could always aim for 9th as a Tiger supporter.

100.something which means if they get flogged and we keep the margin tight, we'll leap them and stitch up 9th depending on how close Toronto/Church is.

Not so bold prediction is that we do win and finish 9th. I feel like Purps already compared us to Richmond before anyway.

After Saturday night:

Tokyo are in a really good position to win this match! Although, if they do, they won't be entitled to an end of first round priority pick... conflicting emotions. Will the team I named for them win? I think so!

This game looked dead and buried early on, but mammoth performance from Captain Martin and Tom Hawkins has seen Dublin peg it back to a level playing field! Beijing still have the advantage though, who are also playing for the World Idol thrown, but Seoul looks likely from here to take that out. Beijing to win this one.

A very tough tussle here between PNL & Cairo! PNL I'd say would have the slight advantage, but really it'll come down the Captain Merrett v Co-Captains Adams & Beams. Too close to call, but given that it'll be close, I don't think either team makes the finals.

New Delhi are looking primed and ready to make a charge for the premiership, and are going at too high a pace for New York to win from here.

The Suns season is all but over, with a failure in defence and Oliver going nuts. Seoul are looking likely to be crowned as the World Idol winners!

Pacific are going at a steady pace which will see them account for the Royals, so they should be wise in conserving themselves for next week. Here's hoping Shuey gives something for the Royals to cheer about going into the off-season!

The Brewers will put in a promising performance heading into finals, with 150+ looking like a genuine possibility. The late withdrawal of GAJ certainly helps our cause, whom would have otherwise complimented Rioli & Hall in trying to win the game. Berlin should do it from here.

The Dillos would be hoping to crack 120+ here, but Moscow will do that easily. Jack Sinclair is a nice little late contribution for the Spetsnaz final game.

Our game of the round see's Toronto with the advantage, but the result is far from decided. A lot of pressure is placed on vice-captain Mitchell, will may have to single handedly take Christchurch to finals! The Saints were handed a major boost with Dangerfield taking out Toronto captain Kreuzer in third, will it cost the Wolves? I think they'll be right. Toronto from here!

Take a look out our scorecard if you want a good laugh

Talk about under-performing!

Go Church!  ;)

Sorry Ada but you know why.  :P

We're looking good. McKenna and Stewart on fire!

Good to see the overrated seagul PNL captain on 0 after a quarter.

Roughy finally looks fit and back to last years form aftervI drop him. 60 in a half shows his scoring potential.

Toronto will win. Good luck in the finals Ada.

Apparently Colyer and McGrath are only out there to enjoy the decent weather. RIP.

Alright, so at this stage I can see the following:

Dublin vs Jing has no impact on the ladder. Dublin will finish 3rd
Classic NY on show this week meaning we drop to 5th
Mexico cooked and fall out of the 8
Berlin vs Rio likely to replay again next week
The winner of Toronto vs Church should secure 8th. Can only really miss if the winner of PNL vs Cairo gets the % required to jump them

Likely Week 1 finals
NDT vs Pacific
Seoul vs Dublin
New York vs Toronto/Church
Berlin vs Rio

Toronto vs Church and PNL vs Cairo are the games to watch today!

If Dublin lose and Pacific win, we jump them on the ladder.  We have a better percentage and only one game behind.

There is always that one patch that the sunlight gets through to at Etihad with the roof closed. Would be difficult to play well when they've got one square foot of territory to ply their trade within.

JPK with the tactical shower performance to bump up our 2nd rounder

Wells might score an extra 100 points in the last 10 minutes to revive us the way he's going.

As soon as I say that Smith gets the shovel out and puts some more dirt over our corpse.

Big 2nd halves from Darling and Stef and there's a small chance of 1700+ to finish off the year

BTB

Matho is gonna cost us the win with this putrid effort.

I could post the raw scores... but where would the poetry be in that?

I know we lost. NDT looking really good for finals.

Samurai make winning a priority

Good for you Tokyo! As a melbourne supporter, I can attest that playing for draft picks only fosters a poisonous culture and that winning is ALWAYS better. The Cobras would be disappointed at ending the season on the low. For now, we say goodbye to you both, and look forward to seeing you next year!

Thunder Cracks Through Dublin Destroyers

Best to get the stinkers out of the system now, hey Dublin? Who knows, maybe playing New Delhi is better than playing Seoul? Meanwhile at Beijing, the season is only made more sour that they won't carry a top 4 scalp into finals. It just wasn't your year. I look forward to seeing what you do next in the off-season!

PNL pile pain on Cairo

Wow! Mathieson only needed to score 42 points for Cairo to win, but only managed 28. That almost sums up a dreadful final run of the H&A season for Cairo, who will have to wait until Round 1 next year to back up their Round 11 win. The Reindeers showed a lot of heart this year, but will fall ever so close to finals. It was great seeing both these teams have a red hot go this season. Until next year!

New Delhi, Familiar Sensation

This team is ready to take the premiership, notching up the highest score of the round! They truly were the best team of the H&A season, and fully deserve the minor premiership. Whereas the Revolution, having held on the a top 4 spot for so long may have slipped out at the last hurdle. A really bad performance, but we know what they can deliver going into finals. Both deserving teams to be playing next week.

With this performance, we see Mexico City fail to feature in the finals for the very first time in WXVs history. On the other end of the spectrum, we will get to see Seoul feature in finals for the very first time! A true passing of the guard, and to a team with a genuine chance at taking premiership glory.

Pacific's Finals Purpose

The Islanders consolidate a top 4 position in the final round of the year, and give themselves a red hot chance at going all the way. This was a strong performance that has potential to be improved upon, and they'll be hard to beat in September. For the Royals, we wave our hand ever so slightly as they exit the competition, and we hope to see them come back so much stronger next year.

Berlin Brews a Finals Assault

Yes, yes, it's all coming together... seriously though, I had such a roller coaster year that I'd wager I'd have the highest standard deviation. Berlin's finals hopes depend on whether Fyfe and Gawn have truly returned to form, else you may see us exit in embarrassing circumstances. The Jags' are so injury depleted, that I think their injured XV could beat some at the bottom 4. But has this result cost them finals? No, it hasn't, and they know better than anyone at what's required over the next 4 weeks. It'll be interesting to see what these two teams do in September.

Spetsnaz savour one last victory

If there was any team to receive some injury luck next year and be a serious threat because of it, it'd be Moscow. Although they have had their prospects denied by injury to key players, they still made a go of it this year and that spirit will take them far. For the Dillos, there is a lot of work ahead as you enter your most important part of the season. Prepare wisely. So long you to you both for now, we'll see you next time!

Toronto stands Tall over crouching Christchurch

The stakes could not have been higher, and it was Toronto that rose to the challenge. The Wolves through outstanding circumstances have STOLEN a spot in finals, having finished in the bottom 2 last year! That story kinda sounds familiar if you ask me...

Meanwhile for the Saints, I daresay that famous depth is a curse, because selection failures have cost them the season this year and none was more memorable than omitting Toby McLean late against New York. The question now is, how many Saints will retire this year? Will they be completely different at Round 1 next year? Either way, meow meow is gonna be great to watch this off-season, and I personally can't wait.

That was Toronto's first win over Christchurch too

Also notable that Buenos Aires v Moscow was their 8th clash, now at 4-4

Congrats to the boys at NDT for a fantastic year

Big congrats to JB and Seoul for making their finals debut in crushing fashion!

And finally, a big congrats to Ada for taking Toronto off the bottom into the finals so soon, and without Pendles lately too

I'm genuinely nervous about facing you!

If we can just make it into the 2nd week of finals I'd be happy with that considering everything, but a first week exit would be justifiable too  :'(
