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 7
(AFL Round 7)
Sao Paulo Pumas v Cape Town Cobras Estádio do Pumas
Buenos Aires Armadillos v Pacific Islanders Estadio de River
Wellington Warriors v Mexico City Suns The Basin Reserve
Toronto Wolves v New York Revolution Rogers Centre, Toronto
Moscow Spetsnaz v Paris Nice Lyon Reindeers Luzhniki Stadium, Moscow
Berlin Brewers v Dublin Destroyers Olympic Stadium, Berlin
London Royals v Tokyo Samurai Lords
Seoul Magpies v Beijing Bears Seoul World Cup Stadium
New Delhi Tigers v Cairo Sands Wipro Stadium, Nagpur
Highlights:
The Minor Premiers (Sao Paulo) and the Runners-Up (Cape Town) are looking for better titles, and somehow managed to miss each other in finals. There only meeting a 1 point thriller to the Pumas as the best midfields in the comp go head-to-head. 1st v 4th. Kennedy, Watson and Cotchin v Ablett, Sloane and Zaha but Sao Paulo has outscored them every week this year, so I'll back the Pumas.
I'm sensing an absolute smashing here, as the Buenos Aires Armadillos take on the fledgling Islanders. 60 point margin on the cards here, as the Armadillos look to get into the 4 after 2 early season losses.
The Warriors have shown some spirit, but Mexico City will be looking to boost percentage and take top spot even if the Pumas defeat the Cobras.
New York were looking unstroppable after round 4, undefeated and sitting 2nd on the table! But a poor effort against Moscow and a heart breaking loss to Cape Town has left them out of the 4, and back in the pack. Speaking of Packs, the Wolves are hungry to climb up the ladder and build a strong base for the season. This is one of the matches of the round, and I'll back the Wolves (as New York don't like it when I pick them).
Moscow has managed to win 3 games with scores in the 130s against quality opposition! Can they turn this great start into a 2nd consecutive finals appearance? The return of Nic Nat certainly helps. Despite a depleted forward line, PNL will give themselves a strong chance after a spirited effort against Mexico City. But I'll back the Russians.
Berlin let a massive chance slip last week to consolidate against a disappointing London. They will be shattered. A loss to Dublin will bring there finals hopes into question. Dublin are still a sneaky chance, but have only defeated the cellar dwellers this year, they need a victory against a middle-tier team to start gaining some respect.
London sit 3rd on the ladder, but know they were lucky last week to come away with a win. Tokyo will provide a great challenge for the Royals, as the Samurai look to break a 2 game losing streak, 2-5 would be hard to come back from. I think a London will win, but it will be tough with potentially Brent Stanton missing.
Seoul need a strong victory against Beijing to stay in contention, as they have failed when it counts so far this year after clinching the preseason title. Beijing are improving, and could fancy themselves a sneaky chance, but I don't think so.
Cairo are out of the 8 on percentage alone, and will likely see themselves in the 8 with a strong victory against New Delhi this week.

Reckon Mexico City will pinch top spot no matter what the result of the Pumas-Cobras this week :)
Gotta agree with you there Ossie. Doesn't matter though at this point of the season.
Suns still have to play Pumas twice and Armadillos once
3 potential losses there. Although looking like 50/50 games at the moment so a reasonable chance to drop 2 and could get unlucky and drop all 3.
Any other team could also upset them along the way.
Why are they playing me twice nails? I thought we played each team once and then it was finals.
Ignore me. Moment of stupidity
My point still stands though have 2 games against us total.
I was thinking

Was Suns/Pumas not Pumas/Cobras
And you played them in round 17 so got confused.
Suns still a good chance for 2 losses and Pumas could easily sneak in for first there.

Here's hoping Garlett and Cooney also continue there form and I'm sure Watson + Cotch will bounce back this week. Was lucky to get the win against NYR and it's only getting harder against the Puma's this round... need to play to full strength if we're to get the W!

Ugh, I knew I shouldn't have said anything about the good health of my list, as in the last three weeks, I have lost:
Jack Grimes, Jack Trengove, Reece Conca, Brad Crouch, Setanta O'hAilpin and Mark Jamar :(
Have swung the axe this week, got rid of the worst 4 scoring players, jeez boys, you gotta bounce back *looking at you Lance Franklin*
Not confident at all with this team, McDonald and Matera come back in without really earning it, not confident Lucas, King, Gawn and Jackson are consistent players, and Garland, Edwards and Otten can fail as well :/
Having said all this, I believe we can bounce back and bring home the win :)

Thomas murphy has been great 76 average out of knowhere playing the dees this week could do well. Siera gets his first game in the green looking forward to a good score from him.
shows the depth of the sqaud with starters like Watts, M.Clark, Schoenemakers, Docehrty out and guys like Bootsma, Plowman, Harper, hansen also missing who were supposed to be cover for thsoe guys.

Brent Harvey is back! But seriously? Still no Chapman? ::) As Warnock has been dynamite averaging 105.5 for us this year he gets another run in the ruck.
No forward emergency this week as Stewart, Bradley and Chapman all unavailable. Perhaps I'd be smarter to put Cross as INT and Schulz as emg but I guess we'll see.
3 mid emergencies this week as it'd turn out. Hopefully everyone destroys. Good luck Islanders, you'll need it. ;)
No Ryder, which bemuses me to say the least
Grima out hurts too with no Butler to replace him

Stokes has been simply brilliant this year, Hibberd more so. Hibberd actually got his lowest score of the year - 86 - so he is having a ripper year.
Selwood could have been a lot better, so a low century from him isn't too bad for the Brewers cause.

But luckily for me he's the worst player in the XV :P
Jukes, you've named Tuck twice in that team, so I think you will be getting Seedsman's score.
Unless I've forgotten who the other Tuck is.
Yep, ML is right...
Seedsman comes in, the other two emergencies are pumped up 1, and your third emergency is based on preferences which is.... Dustin Fletcher.
Was considering making Redden an emg so I'd have something other than midfield emergencies...
Maybe he should be a UTI :o 28 DT with 11:32 to go in 1st quarter!
Will probably end with 40 SC after 4 quarters though lol.
YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS!

Hopefully Spitta's OK :-/ Was sitting right above the benches and he was able to put weight on it and walk (to an extent) so hopefully not too bad. Only iced once the game was over. Not as bad as first thought hopefully. Apparently just bruising.

At least Pyke (the 533rd pick way back in the original draft) is doing well, averaging 93 and looks set to post another ton. Glad this Canadian has seen the light. :))

546/6 according to my calculations, not entirely sure how correct that is, may have forgotten a game in there haha.
Hopefully Spitta's OK :-/ Was sitting right above the benches and he was able to put weight on it and walk (to an extent) so hopefully not too bad. Only iced once the game was over. Not as bad as first thought hopefully. Apparently just bruising.
Pendles starting quietly Sid.

I'll trade you Hawkins for him? :P
Most have had a shocker but Kennedy trying his best to keep me in this one...

WTF. One player over 80?!? Really..?
Week from hell.
Sao Paulo Pumas 622 7 (Ablett C, Sloane, Jacobs, Porplyzia, Adams, Walker, Smith, Roberton)
Cape Town Cobras 894 9 (Broughton, Sylvia, Smith, Garlett, Dunn, Curnow)
Prediction: Pumas have the edge, but a poor score from Ablett would make this game interesting.
Buenos Aires Armadillos 1191 11 (Scotland, Carrazzo, Warnock, Brennan)
Pacific Islanders 694 7 (Dawes, Howe, Ellard, Jaensch, Stanley, Mohr, Brown, Terlich)
Prediction: Islanders going well! But Buenos Aires with the points on the board

Moscow Spetsnaz 1140 12 (Ward, Treloar, Frawley)

Berlin Brewers 681 7 (Steven, Swallow, Garland, McDonald, Matera, Otten, Gawn, Lucas)
Dublin Destroyers 1096 11 (O'Meara, van Berlo, Day, Murphy)
Prediction: A lot of work needs to be done by Berlin, and they are a chance, but Dublin with the points on the board.
London Royals 879 12 (Reilly, Mackay, Gilham)
Tokyo Samurai 1164 13 (Judd, Hampson)
Prediction: London's midfield failed, and Tokyo will celebrate an upset victory!0
Seoul Magpies 765 9 (McEvoy, Dangerfield C, Yarran, Scully, Coniglio, Geary)
Beijing Bears 801 11 (Kreuzer, Betts, Tapscott, Brogan)
Prediction: Seoul will win against a spirited Beijing
New Delhi Tigers 934 12 (Montagna C, Milera, Rutten)
Cairo Sands 883 10 (Dal Santo, Stanley, Armitage, Douglas C, Evans)
Prediction: Surprisingly New Delhi are in this! Cairo should still win, but if Montagna goes well and Douglas fails....
Great to see Pacific showing some fight this round. If only we weren't playing the Armadillos :-[
Captain Rocky!!! ;D

Have had to take the amazing (169, 132 and 129) with the bad (56, 50, 15) and for once my captain broke 80 :o
Would like 300 from my remaining three players to take me well into the 140s, hopefully that's enough. Just wish my players could all play good in the same week instead of this stuff :X our best and fairest is going to look a bit odd at the end of the season.
Dane Swan...
2x95... Useless. Imagine if Rocky got 95 and Swan got 153 :o
We needed Swan to score like 160 odd and we'd be on track for a huuuuge score.

Trusting the bubble has not burst and only a setback this week.
Amazing.
McDonald late withdrawal, Matera sub.
And that is all she wrote unfortunately, another horrible performance, but a bit more to do with bad luck this time around.
Looks like I'm in for my first defeat of the season :(
Bit of fight from New Delhi, well done guys.
Captain Douglas has done well though, hopefully Evans and Stanley go well in the coming match and Armitage and NDS go nicely tomorrow. :D

Am so pissed off right now! Had 6 forwards named this week, so had to choose which 2 not to play. Obviously Roughy and Walker get a gig and so it's then between Porps, Smith, Gunston and Wright for who to play. Of course I choose Porps and Smith who combine for just 76 points, instead of Gunston and Wright who score 221 between them ::)
Needing Ablett to have a monster game otherwise I am screwed :(

Oh well, at least we picked the right captain...Almost went with Cloke -- That would have been a disaster.
Prestia and Bennell both had very good games to make sure we cracked the 1k mark...Was looking like we weren't going to after last night. :o

Impressive 116 from Brennan. Thought he might score well playing against the Demons. Imagine if he didn't get stretchered off in the 3rd quarter! It's kind of annoying though. Probably going to be a defender short next week with Brennan and Gilbert both potentially missing.
1,307/12 + 53 HGA (currently)
Still on track for a good score. Could have been huge if Swan fired, oh well.
Super impressive by young Matty Shaw in his Wolves debut! 8)
(He didn't play last year did he Oss?)
So yeah, bad news coming through that Chris Knights is gone for the season...
He was looking great for Richmond and Cairo, absolutely gutted. :'(

You got enough concession with injuries to our team and underperforming players. At least Lynch stood up BIG TIME... I just read about his 10 goal haul :o :o :o. And Jukesy gets lucky again with a less than stellar opponent's score :P.

As usual Ablett pulls out a big game when needed most. His 304 points has put me right back in it!
From my calcs the Cobras are 1,256/13, so currently I have a 5 point lead with 2 players left each, plus HGA for me (currently 29). Players left are Walker and Roberton for me vs Garlett and Curnow for the Cobras. Going to be a tight finish!

Should also point out that Daniel Talia, the reserves games record holder, finally played his first senior match for the Pacific after 27 matches in the 2s.
Just realised we left out Brad Sewell, my bad. :-X
We're also in a bit of forward line trouble with Dickson and Knights both injured and Rowe being dropped from the Carlton side... :(

Looking good so far for the Pumas, HT scores have Roberton and Walker 49 an 46, whereas Garlett and Curnow are 35 and 28 :)
Terrible second halves to Roberton and Walker, plus an amazing second half by Garlett sees the scores (before scaling) end at 1433 to 1426 in favour of the Pumas. Very worried that I will lose out after scaling... :-\

Little shout out to Robert Warnock. We decided to give him a run in the ruck so we could play Cox down forward due to lack of forward depth a few weeks ago. Warnock has now played 3 games for us this season at a 114 average!
Disappointing late withdrawal by Carrazzo. Not only is it the regular issue of playing a lesser player than selected in the XV. Carrazzo being a late out cost us 7 points on the HGA!!!!!!
It is Cross that replaces Carrotz yes?

Well done MC, very close encounter! My poor selection choices are what lost it for me though (plus Curnow's crazy +18 after scaling)!
So annoying since I would have beaten 13 of the 17 teams this week, just had to play one of the 4 that I would lose to :(
Mexico are brilliant :D
Fit team, minimal injuries. Everyone scoring consistently well.
Adam Goodes, Brian Lake, Stew Crameri and Jarrad Waite all knocking on the door.
Londons depth starting to be tested now with injuries. This was always going to be a concern as we continue building.
Will be happy if we still manage to remain competitive and in the Top 8.

Cheers CF!
Thought I'd lost it with Walker and Roberton around 50 at half time and my boys nowhere to be seen, but a good last quarter from Curnow and my new favourite Garlett just did enough!
And look at the reserves! What a score. Proud of the whole team.

Yeah, Tom Lynch isn't a defender, and neither Jackson or Matera is a defender, so I moved Henderson into McDonalds place?
You are correct Purple :) Sorry, must've saw Henderson's forward status but not his defender! My bad
Corrected score.... (have changed on ladder sheet also, but as positions haven't changed for either Berlin or Dublin in Seniors or Reserves, won't update the ladder thread)
