Making some threads for the future :) By the time they come round, you may have to go looking for them!
To avoid controversy, teams can be accepted for the round for membership points purposes ON the hour after the last game of the round finishes (i.e. if the last game finishes at 5:45pm, teams can be accepted from 6:00pm --> Will use fanfooty clock).
Round 13
(AFL Round 15)
Cape Town Cobras v Beijing Thunder Newlands Cricket Ground
Cairo Sands v Tokyo Samurai Borg El Arab Stadium, Alexandria, Egypt
New Delhi Tigers v Dublin Destroyers Tata Stadium, New Delhi
Seoul Magpies v Paris Nice Lyon Reindeers Seoul World Cup Stadium
London Royals v New York Revolution Stamford Bridge
Berlin Brewers v Mexico City Suns Olympic Stadium, Berlin
Moscow Spetsnaz v Pacific Islanders Luzhniki Stadium, Moscow
Toronto Wolves v Sao Paulo Pumas Rogers Centre, Toronto
Wellington Warriors v Buenos Aires Armadillos The Basin Reserve
Highlights:
The Cobras are on a 3 match losing streak, but should easily account for Beijing (and have clashes against New Delhi and Pacific to come also). Beijing fell in a heap in a game many tipped to be a break through win, Cape Town looks too much for them, and look to have only one more shot at victory against Wellington in round 16 - the spoon awaits.
A danger game for Cairo with Tokyo capable generally scoring around the 130 mark each week - a loss here combined with tricky matches to come against Seoul, Toronto and London could see them get a bit nervous about finals chances. Tokyo, at 4-8, and with only matches against sides above them on the ladder, will not make the finals can only hope to cause upsets. A positive is that amazingly the Samurai are one of the final 6 remaining in the World Idol comp!
New Delhi will unveil a new coach against Dublin, and with the form of Garrick Ibbotson and Leigh Montagna solid, they are looking a better team than at the start of the year. Dublin were extremely disappointing against New York last week, and that loss will make it extremely difficult for them to make the finals. Dublin should beat New Delhi.
Seoul only won 3 of its first 9 matches, but have won the last 3 in a row to have snuck back into the 8! This represents a huge match for the Magpies, a win and finals look very possible, a loss and they are fighting tooth and nail to stay in. The stakes are equally as huge for the fast finishing Reindeers, who after only winning 1 of its first 9, is also on a 3 match winning streak! Amazingly, if they win there remaining 5 matches, they can still make the finals with Toronto its main stumbling block.
American Independence Day clash between London and New York is the main event! Particularly given the significance of the teams on the ladder, it will be extremely difficult for either New York (with clashes against the Suns and Armadillos to come) or London (with clashes against Cape Town and Cairo) to make the finals with a loss here.
The Brewers will nead to defeat either the Suns this week or Toronto in round 15 to be serious contenders for the finals, and not choke against the teams below them on the ladder. Of Berlin's 6 wins this year, only Cairo currently sits in the 8, the Brewers need a scalp. Conversely, the Suns hopes of staying top of the ladder rests on winning against sides like this - but they looked shaky last week.
The Islanders will be bouyant after there second win of the year that has likely helped them avoid the wooden spoon, but Moscow's form is too intimiating with the Spetsnaz gunning for an amazing top 2 finish.
The Wolves and Pumas is one of the matches of the round! Sao Paulo had a shock loss last week and looked far from premiership contenders, while the Wolves have won 6 of the last 7, and while the top 4 looks beyond them (but not impossible), a home elimination final is very achievable.
Last week I would have said the Warriors were no chance against the Armadillos. I still think Buenos Aires will win, but last week's effort was very weak as the injured ravaged team gave there lowest score ever. Top 4 under threat for the Armadillos.
Moscow Spetsnaz

Well, I am actually due for a 150+ game.
Conversely, I am also due for a 110 game.
It will be either one I reckon :P
So, I think I read something that Dayne Beams will play one or two weeks in the VFL, if so, he'll either be back against Seoul or Pacific. Perfect. 8)
Just read Jack Grimes will probably be back this week against the Suns! YES! Thankyou! Been a frustrating 8 weeks with him gone, have had to put up with inconsistent and usually bad scores from Carlile, Otten and Clisby. D4 problem fixed!

Really weird to say Buenos Aires are out of the race having just got to the 2nd on the ladder for the first time! I'm not so sure, sure they are struggling now, but if they get players back for finals they'll be fine. They are just so very lucky to be playing New Delhi and Wellington which should keep them a top 4 spot.

Unlucky to an extent - they did purposely recruit old players, and old players are more injury prone.

Cunners back, Young finally in for his first Pies game, haven't slotted him into the XV yet as I'm a little tentative about a vest/his role at the new club, will more than likely replace Jones next week.
Butler out after his big one last week hurts but hopefully Nicholson can slot straight back in and have another good week.
Edwards was about to come in and replace Aaron Hall but Tigers playing against North this week I reckon I might leave Edwards out :P
Should be motivated against his own team but hoping and praying that he has a quiet one. JRoo couldn't quite be dropped haha
Hall vs the Lions should do OK anyway. Will toss and turn over that dilemma.
Early prediction, I reckon the reserves score will be a big one this week!
Don't mind if your reserves score big RB, just as long as your seniors don't :P

Nah was thinking of adding "The reserves may well outscore the seniors this round" but I thought that's pretty unlikely, XV isn't too shabby. Replace Hall with Jolly (via Ryder fwd) and Nicholson maybe with Butler and Jones with Young and you have my best XV IMO. Not my pre-season best XV, as Pedo and Nicholson have on the most part disappointed while Butler lifted.

There is a feeling in the air of Germany, a feeling of opportunity, a sense of occasion, a sense of an upset as they turn on their TVs to watch the game LIVE from Mexico City. The Brewers have finally gained a consistency coach Purple 77 has been pleading for, but at a cost; no 150+ scores. Coach Purple 77 has dared the players to go all out and have a crack this weekend, as he too feels an anticipation in this upcoming match.
"I just gotta feeling, that this match will not see this 134-141 point range from my boys, I have dared them to have a crack, which means it will either pull off magnificently, or fail horribly. I have given them permission to take it to them, as a 135 point score in a 20 point loss is the same as a 115 point score and a 40 point loss this weekend. We want to win."
Meanwhile, the Brewers have swung the axe this week in a daring move to win the game, and have been significantly bolstered by the return of outstanding young defender Jack Grimes!

Pav doesn't get a go HP?
I went over teams last night when I posted, must have missed Pav being named (as all the news is jsut about Cyril being back). Came on now because doing my DT/SC and went over teams again and saw him named :o.
That last spot for forwards is a tough call, with Lynch and TDL in similar form! Think with Rioli/Pav back in, we have a solid forward line again especially since a few have stood up this season :D.

Ablett out might swing the match-up in Toronto's favour.
And Moscow move up a spot :P
Ossie you still give Tokyo a chance with no Shuey or Selwood ?
Just wish I could see what the team is capable of without injuries

I originally posted a bit about Ablett being out when I changed my team CF but thought otherwise and deleted it haha, no offence to you but kinda glad you missed lockout haha. Gives me a sniff at least.

Haha no worries. I didn't come on to the forum until after lockout anyway so wouldn't have made a difference if you mentioned it or not. And to be honest I probably would have named Minson as captain and brought on Adams anyway. Just means I have no backup if for some reason Minson pulls out.

Think I heard Doc Larkins saying it was a meniscal injury and would miss 3. But really too early to give an accurate prognosis. I would wait till Monday :)
Bloody Young subbed off, will finish in the 30s somewhere. Knew I should have stuck with my gut and gone the safe option in Jones not knowing Young's role/point scoring/fitness at a new club.
If this costs me the game..
Pendles going big at least :)
Garlett kicks the first two goals! ;D
... Garlett doesn't touch the ball for the rest of the game :(
Shaw 111 and Seedsman 80 :D

So whats my dp going to be hp?
Hmm looking tough for the Armadillos this week. Only 14 players named, and one of them Brennan brought in at the last moment so not named for the Dillos. I'm guessing he comes in for 1/4 points? Went through their squad and 3 players (Cross, Gysberts, Dea) named as emergency, so better hope some of them get brought in... :-\
#Cut4Dillos
1/69.
Not ideal :-\
Don't know why Buenos Aires didn't name the emergencies :(
So I can get 1/4 of Brennan's score, right?
Wellington's chances of taking out Buenos Aires nose dived - Swan Captan gave Buenos Aires 298 points, Murphy captain gave Wellington 108 points

And that my friends, is atrocious. All four of my Richmond players didn't surpass 70.

Forward line absolutely atrocious, Scotty Thompson destroyed JRoo. Zorko only respectable score in there. Cunners was lifting in the last quarter on track for a decent enough 85+ before he got subbed off. I think I've got it right with Sauce coming in to fill Houli's spot and Adams covering Ablett? Pumas would still be in the box seat, Roughy, Gunston, Duncan tonight could turn the game, along with Masten, Waters, Sloane, Sauce and Porpoise in the other game.

Ossie was saying it will be done to maximise my points, so I'm guessing Jacobs will score more than Adams, so hopefully Adams will get the half points.
Gee I have a lot of players in tonight's 2 games! Duncan, Masten and Waters all started solidly, but Porps and Gunston absolutely no impact so far! Wouldn't say I'm in the box seat at all rb, need all my players to average 100 each to get past you!
Ah yep that makes sense. That would take 22 off your current score (halving Adams) but means you get Sauce's whole score.
We'll have a lot better idea how it sits after tonight's games finish up!
Yeah certainly will. Hartlett, Zaha, Roberton and Hill vs Ryder, Nicholson, Johnson and HGA tomorrow...

Certainly gonna be a good one! Fair to say I wasn't expecting that from Duncan tonight, actually a little relieved his score wasn't higher. Gunston, Sloane and Masten good games also.
Hartlett in my SC side so a little torn there, would still like for him to have a good game.
Nicholson could be the decider I reckon, he can be very up and down. If Nicholson and Ryder are both on I should be home and hosed but could just as easily lose by 100+.

Yep gonna be close. Going by averages of the remaining players should see me winning 1,453 to 1,450, but we all know you can never trust averages. I think the decider for me will be which Roberton turns up to play against his old club... He averaged 90.3 from his first 9 matches this season, but has only averaged 53.25 from his last 4... :-\

Michael Hibberd 120

Wow, if only we had even one of Shiel or Clay, 115 and 110 to our reserves squad :(. Think Shiel's time as a tagger has come to an end so may force his way back into the PNL lineup at the expense of Ray.

shower score, will be swinging the selection axe in the week. Darling and Ward to be dropped for Adams and Thomas.
Frawley, Hombsch, Fyfe, Monfries and Walters' scores to come. Fyfe and Walters should score good against the Saints, while Hombschy and Gus should continue their form.
Frawley has been a beast since he returned from injury and forced us to play him because of our lack of decent back depth, 114 last week and is currently on 58 at half time.
Frawley subbed off on 70...now I'm really mad
lucky we're playing Pacific this week, team has been pretty dreadful.
Edit: scored 80. Happy with this, but would've been a lot higher.

I think the decider for me will be which Roberton turns up to play against his old club... He averaged 90.3 from his first 9 matches this season, but has only averaged 53.25 from his last 4... :-\
What'd I tell you....Nicholson.... ::)
Lucky pendles went big this week, the vast majority of the team has been a big letdown.
Big week for the club too, an upset win over the Pumas would have been sensational, but looks highly highly unlikely from here.
I have a horrible, horrible feeling that I will lose against Mexico City because I played Setanta instead of Gawn....
Still yet to have a player score a century!

Pumas Progress
Houli Adams (half) 22, Hartlett, Waters 82, Roberton
Ablett Duncan 121, Sloane 112, Zaharakis, Masten 107
Minson (C) 228
Walker 108, Roughead 92, Gunston 104, Porplyzia 67
Hill, Duncan Jacobs 64
Total - 1,107/11
Going to be close tomorrow, but RB got the edge at the moment...
Hartlett, Roberton, Zaharakis and Hill vs Nicholson, Ryder, Johnson, HGA (currently 36) + 66
Certainly gonna be a good one! Fair to say I wasn't expecting that from Duncan tonight, actually a little relieved his score wasn't higher. Gunston, Sloane and Masten good games also.
Hartlett in my SC side so a little torn there, would still like for him to have a good game.
Nicholson could be the decider I reckon, he can be very up and down. If Nicholson and Ryder are both on I should be home and hosed but could just as easily lose by 100+.

So my game against the Wolves has come down to this...
Hartlett + Zaharakis vs Ryder and 126 points (HGA already included...)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think, I THINK it's Ryder + 130 vs Zaharakis + Hartlett
Zaha 63 at half time, Ryder 45, Hartlett 44
Gonna be bloody close, hopefully not another repeat of the Moscow game
EDIT: Never mind, CF got in just before me. On my phone so can't check your addition so I'll have to take your word for it. Makes it even closer!
Watson :(
Another injury. The Cobras are up against the wall.
Nah you've got this now RB. 3QT scores are Zaha 74, Hartlett 63 and Ryder 70. Can't outscore you now :(

These last few weeks (the Moscow charge, Armadillo collapse, Pumas dropping a couple) have really turned the season on its head.
I think something absolutely amazing is about to happen btw....
Hartlett got two already this qtr, got him in SC so a little torn. 95-100 would be great mate....
HUGE opportunity, HUGE opportunity..... and we CHOKED!
I am, so unbelievably (insert angry verb)!
Of all the weeks Mexico drop off, Berlin throw a ripe old shocker!
So disappointed. If we won, we could have really taken a hold on the spot in the eight. Still, not all hope lost at all, just need to beat Seoul, Tokyo and Beijing and hope for the best. Not going to be easy.
Before scaling...
Cape Town: 1250
Beijing: 1299
Cape Town with the home advantage.
And Beijing only had 13 players this week - the first time they've had less than 15. And there highest score.
Panic time for Cape Town.

Life is good with Tom Mitchell in the side, let me tell you!

Apologies Oss I still had Moore listed as D/M Player. Lucky did not cost me with ample back up defenders.
Congrats RB, disappointing week my end, but well done to get the win. My own stupid fault not naming a defense emergency as that would have won me the game.
Nice to see that we can still perform reasonably well without our best midfielder and defender in Ablett and Houli though, with 7 players cracking the tonne. Still wasn't enough though :(
Good to scrape a win. Team played well, circumstances influenced our overall score.
Waite subbed for 3 points, Moloney subbed for 37, Sandilands subbed for 33.
Think we did well. Goddard (134) was fantastic while S.Thompson finally got a tonne.
Brandon Jack, Mark Blicavs and Nathan Hrovat impressive in the magoos.
Quick stat:
6 out of my 15 players scored under 50 this week. #capetownlols
10 out of the 15 scored less than their season averages
#capetownlols
As you can see, I'm trying to laugh off this growing state of serious depression :P
Oops, sorry Ossie. Didn't know you were so on the ball with scores! Great work.
Disregard my posted score above mate :)

This is what happens when you have a team with ridicolous amount of potential. Have been getting hit hard with injuries and guys not living up to what they can do.
Guys like watts gray Hansen black all step up big and my premos pump out premo scores. Shame its on new dehli and couldn't knock of a big team.
Watch out though the destroyers are coming it might not be this season but it will be soon.

Good game CF, I honestly thought it was all over when Nicholson did what he does best, but I'd like to send out a little thank you to a few people.
Pendles :-*
Ablett, thank you mate
Same goes for you Houli
Hill for keeping me in it yesterday
I think this match well and truly confirmed for me that I made the right choice picking Pendles at number 1, when my captain scores 300 more than your regular captain it does help
Btw told you the reserves would go big :)
Round of upsets! Wolves over Pumas, Thunder over Cape Town and so close to having Islanders over Moscow :o.
Cape Town just can't find form, hopefully they can pick it up just before finals if they want to go far there!
