The Run Home
1. Sao Paulo, 12-1, 113.75%
Gained a fair chunk of percentage last week to give the Pumas a bit of breathing space. An away game to Beijing could give the Pumas some trouble if the cards fall the Bears way, but I can't see the Pumas losing any of the last 3 matches. Should finish 1st, and deservingly so.
R14: Beijing (A)
R15: Dublin (H)
R16: New York (A)
R17: Pacific (H)
2. Mexico City, 11-2, 112.19%
It is amazing how the top 2 teams have the easiest run home! Shows how good both have been all year. Mexico City MUST win all 4 remaining matches, gain a little percentage, and hope the Pumas slip up once to get the Minor Premiership. Mark the next 3 weeks as wins barring a crazy Dean Cox-like performance, though current top 4 team Buenos Aires may prove more difficult in the final week. A lock for top 2.
R14: Dublin (A)
R15: New York (H)
R16: Pacific (H)
R17: Buenos Aires (A)
3. Cape Town, 9-4, 105.82%
With a starting midfield of Joel Selwood, Jobe Watson, Trent Cotchin and Josh P Kennedy, the Cobras are a force - remembering this is the team that lost to the Pumas by only a point! Should defeat Berlin and New Delhi comfortably, will start strong favourites against London, with a trickier away match against Seoul looking the most difficult. Extremely unlikely to pass 1st or 2nd, but should stay 3rd without much trouble.
R14: Berlin (A)
R15: London (H)
R16: Seoul (A)
R17: New Delhi (H)
4. Buenos Aires, 8-5, 104.80%
Undermanned, the Armadillos have won 6 of the last 7 as superstar Dane Swan is hitting top form. 4th spot is well and truly up for grabs, so any slips could prove costly. The next 3 weeks are 'should wins' but all three of Cairo, Tokyo and PNL have the capacity to upset. It is possible they may need to win all 4 matches to keep hold of this spot, meaning it could come down to a show down against the Mexico City Suns.
R14: Cairo (A)
R15: Tokyo (H)
R16: PNL (A)
R17: Mexico City (H)
5. Wellington, 8-5, 101.13%
After a slump that saw them lose 4 in a row, the Warriors finally found some form last week with a strong win over London. The news gets better with star Marc Murphy set to return very soon. Still well and truly a chance for a top 4 spot, with Beijing the most difficult match to come. Would back the Warriors against bottom 9 teams New Delhi, Dublin and New York - in fact, the Warriors have not lost to anyone in the bottom 9 this year. On the flip-side, they are 2-5 against teams currently sitting in the top 9.
R14: New Delhi (A)
R15: Beijing (H)
R16: Dublin (A)
R17: New York (H)
6. Beijing, 8-5, 97.09%
VERY close to upsetting the Suns last week, which would have gone a long way to sealing up a top 4 spot. Due to poor percentage, need to win all matches to make the four you would think. Unfortunately, they have Sao Paulo, Wellington and Moscow the next 3 weeks, and a tricky away game to London to finish the year. The loses to New Delhi, Pacific and Cairo could haunt this team, and could easily find themselves out of the 8.
R14: Sao Paulo (H)
R15: Wellington (A)
R16: Moscow (H)
R17: London (A)
7. Toronto, 7-6, 105.75%
Missing the influence of usual captain Scott Pendlebury, and at times looked like losing against Berlin last week, but pulled through. Have cracked 160 twice this year, and are one of the more dangerous teams. Consistency is the problem though. The next match against 8th placed Seoul looks crucial, but the three matches after that they will start favourites. A slip-up could end the season.
R14: Seoul (A)
R15: Cairo (H)
R16: Tokyo (A)
R17: PNL (H)
8. Seoul, 7-6, 101.70%
Seoul's lowest score of the year could not have come at a worse time for the Magpies, who have struggled for rhythm all season. With Toronto and Cape Town in the final 4 weeks - both at home - the Magpies are in real danger of missing the finals. Berlin and Cairo are easier, but both those teams have the capacity to do serious damage.
R14: Toronto (H)
R15: Berlin (A)
R16: Cape Town (H)
R17: Cairo (H)
9. Moscow, 7-6, 98.34%
If you ignore the first 4 rounds (or even first 5), Moscow are clearly in top 4 form. Barring a mathematical miracle, they won't finish top 4 but still have destiny in there own hands. 4 wins will see them make the finals (they would at worst push out Round 16 opponent Beijing), and would back Moscow winning matches against London, New Delhi and Dublin.
R14: London (A)
R15: New Delhi (H)
R16: Beijing (A)
R17: Dublin (H)
10. London, 6-7, 99.28%
What to think of the London Royals? If Brent Stanton fires, they are hard to stop, but not impossible. An average of 127 for the season is below par, but has had a scores of 153 and 147 before. They will need more scores like that if they are to force there way into the eight. Moscow, Cape Town and Beijing will all be tough, and even New Delhi is not guaranteed.
R14: Moscow (H)
R15: Cape Town (A)
R16: New Delhi (A)
R17: Beijing (H)
11. Pacific, 6-7, 96.75%
Everyone's 2nd team seems to be the Pacific! And many were glad that they ended there 5 match losing streak with a strong 137 against Cairo. Wins against Tokyo and PNL are feasible, but facing the two competition heavyweights in the final 2 rounds means that they would need a Chris Judd inspired miracle to make the finals.
R14: Tokyo (A)
R15: PNL (H)
R16: Mexico City (A)
R17: Sao Paulo (A)
12. New Delhi, 6-7, 95.07%
2 wins from the last 9 has almost - ALMOST written off the year for New Delhi. Unfortunately, Wellington, Moscow and Cape Town are not teams to be taken lightly, with London at home looking there most likely - but not certain - win.
R14: Wellington (H)
R15: Moscow (A)
R16: London (H)
R17: Cape Town (A)
13. Tokyo, 5-8, 97.84%
Tokyo were slowly building momentum before last week's travesty against New York, and are only a mathematical chance to make the 8. Pacific and Berlin look possible places for wins, and could also cause some damage by upsetting Buenos Aires or Toronto.
R14: Pacific (H)
R15: Buenos Aires (A)
R16: Toronto (H)
R17: Berlin (A)
14. Cairo, 5-8, 96.62%
4 wins in a row had punters start to think of miracles for the Sands, but came crashing back down to earth with a bad loss against a very competitive Pacific. Not guaranteed to win any of the last 4, but not guaranteed to lose any of them either.
R14: Buenos Aires (H)
R15: Toronto (A)
R16: Berlin (H)
R17: Seoul (A)
15. Berlin, 4-9, 94.22%
When a team scores 97 one week, and 172 the next, you have to be wary! Berlin will not make the finals, and the best they can hope for is to create some upsets. The task made much tougher with news competition heavyweight Lance Franklin will miss the next 3 weeks.
R14: Cape Town (H)
R15: Seoul (H)
R16: Cairo (A)
R17: Tokyo (H)
16. New York, 4-9, 93.67%
With arguably the best ruck in the competition in Dean Cox as Captain, the New York Eagles reminded everyone that on it's day, they can beat anybody. Crippled by the loss of #1 pick Nat Fyfe early in the season, the Eagles best chance of a win is against the in-form PNL Reindeers, before an extremely tough final 3 rounds against Mexico City, Sao Paulo and Wellington. The win last week all but guarantees NOT winning the wooden spoon.
R14: PNL (A)
R15: Mexico City (A)
R16: Sao Paulo (H)
R17: Wellington (A)
17. PNL, 2-11, 93.99%
2 wins, and 2 close losses in the last 4 weeks have given PNL supporters hope for the year ahead, and they would fancy themselves against New York and Pacific in the next couple of weeks, before sterner tests against Buenos Aires and Toronto to finish. Should do enough to avoid the wooden spoon.
R14: New York (H)
R15: Pacific (A)
R16: Buenos Aires (H)
R17: Toronto (A)
18. Dublin, 2-11, 87.09%
Dublin's highest score of the year is 128, Mexico City's lowest is 134, Sao Paulo's lowest is 132. This shows the plight of Destroyers who have the toughest run home of any club. Feel they have the spoon in the bag, but can they pull of an upset and throw a spanner in the works? Rumours Lachie Whitfield is looking at houses in Ireland.
R14: Mexico City (H)

R16: Wellington (H)

Haha, shame we couldn't prolong this last season rush earlier this year! Hopefully we can continue to climb the rankings 8).
No franklin?
.............*sobs*
Shaun Higgins copped a knock to the leg late in the last quarter last week, and it was initially feared that he had broken a bone in his leg, much the same as Pendlebury earlier in the season. Higgo shook it off and is likely to lace up the boots this weekend.
Ryan Bastinac has been terrible lately and is on the chopping block. 2 weeks ago he scored 70 odd, but that's only because he kicked a goal late in the game when it was on the line. Was on about 35 at 3QT. Scored 34 this week, which is simply unacceptable for a midfielder.
If Bastinac gets cut, and Higgins does play, it means that Shaun will be the only Spetsnaz player to have played in every match. Higgins = durable
Tom Williams looks likely to play his first AFL game for the season. Could make his way in to the D4 spot. Has been playing as a ruckman/forward in the VFL and doing a reasonably good job of it. We all know rucks score well so this is good news for Moscow.
Dublin are in with a real chance of winning this week.

Pumas Round 14 Team
Def - Fisher, McMahon, Houli, Roberton
Mid - Ablett, Sloane, Cross, Wallis
Fwd - Roughead, Blair, Whitecross, Wright
Ruck - Jacobs
Int - Griffin, Minson
Emg - Hannebery, Porplyzia, Tuohy
Captain - Gary Ablett
Vice Captain - Rory Sloane
In - Dylan Roberton, Will Minson
Out - Tony Armstrong, Ryan Harwood
Just the two changes this week in the Puma camp. Minson is recalled after playing a great game in the reserves, whilst Roberton has shown enough potential to get the last back spot with Waters out injured. As usual Ablett remains captain, but with his last 3 scores of 64, 87 and 110 for the Pumas there is a strong consideration to demote him to the VC gig until he finds some better form... But knowing what he can do when he finds that form, I'm not risking taking it off him.
Go Pumas!!
Captain Brett Deledio needs to prove himself, he let himself, and his team down last week. Now is the time to lead by example, with a do-or-die clash against Toronto. Chris Yarran looks to have returned to form, and Jason Gram has a big week in the AFL with game #150. I'm hoping he steps up for game #10 for Seoul. Matthew Scarlett knows competition for his spot is fierce, with Nick Maxwell, Harry O'Brien, Eric Mackenze and even Ben Rutten and Tom Lonergan putting pressure for the senior side.
A superb effort by James Kelly and a solid effort by Bryce Gibbs aside, the rest of the midfield was disappointing last week. Ryan Griffen needs to find consistency, while Jude Bolton came crashing down to earth. Bryce Gibbs earns himself a start 4 position again, pushing out the suspended Jack Steven. Tom Scully returns from injury, and Stephen Coniglio pushes out the unlucky Liam Anthony.
Ben McEvoy has been very solid, and with an injured Brent Renouf and Dawson Simpson still building fitness, McEvoy has a lot of pressure.
Patrick Dangerfield needs to step up to be the star we know him to be! In all honesty, the forward line is struggling but veteran Luke Power returns. Hayden Ballantyne and Alwyn Davey maintain there spots, basically because of limited options to replace, Chris Dawes goes to Pyongyang and Charlie Dixon named emergency.
D: #8 B Deledio (Capt), #12 M Scarlett, #21 J Gram, #15 C Yarran

With a season-high score posted for the team last week, off of the back of Captain Cox's superb effort, The Eagles will be taking a lot of confidence into this weeks game, a crucial game in our efforts to avoid the spoon.

For those teams - including myself - hoping for a Moscow loss, not likely to happen now! London's last week's team carried through, which already includes two OOP players, Hurley captain, McDonald on the field, only 2 playing emergencies, and Bellchambers and Bob Murphy warming the pine.
Can CM be fired yet? Always has excuses why he can't post and I'm sick of it. Ruined the APL 2 years in a row and now he's ruining this

Can CM be fired yet? Always has excuses why he can't post and I'm sick of it. Ruined the APL 2 years in a row and now he's ruining this
>:(
Yes. I agree CF. Fair enough if he has other commitments, but he should have the decency to put up his hand and say he doesn't have time.
Calling it in public - I want Cookie Monster removed as coach. Shouldn't be just my decision, others thoughts?
Agree with CF & Ossie...

Shall we put it to a vote then os? PM each head coach for their vote so it remains somewhat private?

Honestly not sure if I want it to be private, but yeah, suppose the right thing to do though.
Sack him, so many others on here who would love a chance to coach in the main competition (worlds).
Put up an advertisement thread and view the applicants? :p
I reckon the job should go to someone who isn't already a head coach in the euros or English comps

This late in the season will anyone take it?
I reckon they would cos it gives them time to understand the game properly get to know their list and then thy are also in charge for the entire trade period and drafts
there is one person who i would nominate for this job.

Exactly what I was thinking! Let them dazzle us, and we can vote :)
But that's assuming we do sack him, but so far no one had jumped to defense
Pacific Islanders scored 486 points from Petrie and Judd (c). But then only 41 points from Walker and Watson :/
Looking at my opponents (My Chumps) team.........
He only needs to play his midfield and he'll beat me :'(
That midfield is insane!!!
Will a 31 goal loss this week end a coaching career?

I think we should wait until the end of the season so the new coach can do the drafts and start fresh
Things could be going your way this week holz! Apparently Maric is out, which means Maca loses his captain so Lewis becomes captain, and then Mattner steps in and gets half points!

Wouldn't be so sure of that ossie. BB's team is doing very well so far this round, whilst mine seems to be struggling. Even bloody Gumby scored 89 for BB ::)

I have had some rotten luck lately. Jamar got injured after ten minutes and that will become by HA. But walters, in his first afl and worlds game, got 110!

looking ok so far, im sure i will find a way to lose it. Nroo and Chappy are going very slow and captain thomas looks like he is doing ok.
My defense is letting me down, at some stage I was getting a few 100s each week, this round I have had 3 guys play and only a high score of 78.
Jordie McKenzie :-*
Dane Swan :)
Travis Boak (Just flowering say you're leaving so we can drop you so you don't go flowering us up during games) Nice score though. :P
And SpudHoff >:D beast
You're complaining about your defense Holz?? My entire defense has now finished playing they managed to combine together for a measly 202 points. And that's thanks to Houli scoring 88, the next best was Roberton with 54, whilst McMahon and Fisher (who both average in the 80's) scored 35 and 25 respectively >:(
Edit: Was worried about Blair's score dropping with the return of Pendles, but he pumped out another hundred tonight :D

I need Jude Bolton to outscore Ted Richards by 48 points for me. Currently Jude Bolton on 61 DT and Richards on 20 at three quarter time....
Home advantage is the only reason I'm in it. My season on the line (and Toronto's) in the next 30 minutes!
RB and I both look likie scoring over 160 :(
Bolton 51 and Richards 29 SC 3QTR time scores Ossie ;)
I need Shaw to score less than 170 odd for me to win. I think I'm safe :)

My injury list proves I'm out of contention! Playing without two thirds of my best 15.
Dam soo close, almost put ward captain i think that would have got me the draw or a 1 point win.

Not that it will change the result but Sheringham is listed as a mid so shouldn't it be Kennedy replacing Tippett?
Nah cos you have Gunston on the interchange who moves to the forward line and then Sheringham moves to the bench ;)

Ps. flower you Luke Shuey.
No, you had a Gunston (a forward) on the interchange bench. Interchange gets first pick, and then emergencies. Sheringham your first emergency, so he replaced Gunston on interchange, Gunston replaced Tippett
ah right :)
le me winning! :D
Sorry it's taken me this long to reply! Great game Oss, and many thanks for submitting my team for me. CF and Maca, not sure how "imposing" I can be with a rather extensive injury/suspension list (but nothing like yours Maca! :o)
JZ out for four as well does not help in the slightest. Any news on Ryder and Ash McGrath? Both should be out for a while longer I fear...
I believe Ash is out for the season, and Paddy for a couple more
Can confirm McGrath is out for the season for you.
