Round 15 AFL Round 17
Dublin Destroyers v Mexico City Suns Crooke Park
New Delhi Tigers v PNL Reindeers Tata Stadium EurAsian Premiership Match
Tokyo Samurai v Beijing Thunder Tokyo Olympic Stadium Asian Premiership Match
Cairo Sands v New York Revolution Borg El Arab Stadium AAP Alliance Premiership Match
Seoul Magpies v Buenos Aires Armadillos Seoul World Cup Stadium
Wellington Warriors v Berlin Brewers The Basin Reserve
Pacific Islanders v Moscow Spetsnaz BSP Stadium, Suva, Fiji
Cape Town Cobras v Sao Paulo Pumas Newlands Cricket Ground AAP Alliance Premiership Match
London Royals v Toronto Wolves London Olympic Stadium
Dublin v Mexico City
Dublin let a game slip against PNL, meaning the Minor Premiership, and a top 2 spot, is looking unlikely. A loss against Mexico City would made it extremely difficult. Mexico City just continue to go on its merry way.....
Dublin run home:
15 H Mexico City Suns
16 H New Delhi Tigers
17 A Pacific Islanders
Really hard to see the Destroyers dropping Round 16 or 17, but they may slip to 4th if they drop this week's game...
Mexico City run home:
15 A Dublin Destroyers
16 H Toronto Wolves
17 H Cairo Sands
Difficult run home for the Suns! The Armadillos are still in the Minor Premiership hunt, while the Suns play teams ranked 3rd, 7th and 8th in the last 3 weeks.
New Delhi v PNL
New Delhi are little chance of knocking off the Reindeers this week, but PNL might revert to its old ways of losing the impossible.
New Delhi's run home:
15 H PNL Reindeers
16 A Dublin Destroyers
17 A Wellington Warriors
Will probably focus all its energies for the last round!
PNL's run home:
15 A New Delhi Tigers
16 H Tokyo Samurai
17 A Cape Town Cobras
Reindeers shouldn't sweat this clash too much, but Tokyo and Cape Town are a bit more tricky. A home final likely, a top 4 spot still possible.
Tokyo v Beijing
The winner of this likely takes out the Asian Cup! Beijing would love a bit of silverware like that, and Tokyo also.
Tokyo's run home:
15 H Beijing Thunder
16 A PNL Reindeers
17 A Seoul Magpies
Tokyo's last part of the year has been much stronger, and would hope to win 2 of these last 3.
Beijing run home:
15 A Tokyo Samurai
16 H Cairo Sands
17 A London Royals
Tough run home for Beijing, but all 3 of its next opponents are prone to shockers.
Cairo v New York
New York were far superior to Cairo in Round 14, but Cairo will still go in as strong favourites.
Cairo run home:
15 H New York Revolution
16 A Beijing Thunder
17 A Mexico City Suns
Cairo was highly touted as a top 4 fancy to start the year, but are now only in the 8 on percentage with teams (particularly Berlin) hot on its tails. ANY loss could see them miss out, 2 would likely see them out.
New York run home:
15 A Cairo Sands
16 H Seoul Magpies
17 A Toronto Wolves
The Revolution are still looking for that elusive win, and have been horribly unlucky in the last couple of weeks. Can they snag a win? Tough but not impossible.
Seoul v Buenos Aires
Buenos Aires are a game clear in 2nd, but still need to keep winning. Seoul's struggling for leadership with Dangerfield in poor form. Sniff an upset maybe.
Seoul run home:
15 H Buenos Aires Armadillos
16 A New York Revolution
17 H Tokyo Samurai
Seoul could win all 3, or lose all 3.
Buenos Aires run home:
15 A Seoul Magpies
16 H Wellington Warriors
17 A Sao Paulo Pumas
Buenos Aires still in the box seat for a home Qualifying final, and maybe even the minor Premiership. Sao Paulo still entices in Round 17.
Wellington v Berlin
I think the Warriors are a lot better team then 2 wins suggest, and Berlin can't afford any slip ups.
Wellington run home:
15 H Berlin Brewers
16 A Buenos Aires Armadillos
17 H New Delhi Tigers
May need to win twice to get off the bottom of the ladder....
Berlin's run home:
15 A Wellington Warriors
16 H Pacific Islanders
17 A Moscow Spetsnaz
Berlin is in 9th place, and still may need to win all 3 to make the 8. Will start favourites against Wellington and Pacific, but Moscow the biggest stumbling block. They could win all 3 and still miss out!
Pacific v Moscow
Moscow continue to put on the pressure on 4th place, and Pacific will be hoping to stop this charge.
Pacific run home:
15 H Moscow Spetsnaz
16 A Berlin Brewers
17 H Dublin Destroyers
Pacific have a very tough run home, and the Spoon could still be heading there.
Moscow run home:
15 A Pacific Islanders
16 H Cape Town Cobras
17 H Berlin Brewers
Moscow will fancy themselves in each match, but Cape Town and Berlin shouldn't be taken lightly.
Cape Town v Sao Paulo
Cape Town are a much better chance for victory now that Ablett has gone down, but the Pumas still have Sloane, Jacobs and Gunston and a host of Premiership stars...
Cape Town run home:
15 H Sao Paulo Pumas
16 A Moscow Spetsnaz
17 H PNL Reindeers
Horror run home playing 4th, 5th and 6th, and need to win all 3 if they are any chance of making the finals.
Sao Paulo run home:
15 A Cape Town Cobras
16 H London Royals
17 H Buenos Aires Armadillos
Pumas still have a strong hold on 4th, and could even climb to 3rd if they are good enough. 2 losses and either Moscow or PNL could take that spot....
London v Toronto
The Royals are fading fast, and the Wolves have strong momentum going on. Wolves are amazingly a game in the 8, but aren't safe.
London run home:
15 H Toronto Wolves
16 A Sao Paulo Pumas
17 H Beijing Thunder
London need to win all 3 to make the finals, and Toronto and Sao Paulo are a difficult next 2 weeks.
Toronto run home:
15 A London Royals
16 A Mexico City Suns
17 H New York Revolution
The Wolves should make the finals, but even one loss could see them miss amazingly.

Don't be surprised to see it happen next week as well. :P
Hopefully we have a forward line to name. I'm getting a little worried. Might have to flood. :o
Also, if London was to beat Toronto, I would be greatly appreciative...
Going on percentage, I reckon I have a better chance at knocking out Toronto on equal wins than I do Cairo. So hopefully Mexico can knock them off, so need one of London or... hey New York again!
I will give you my first draft pick AK if you just help me out here :P

Looks like it's time for Rory Sloane to step up and lead the team in the absence of Ablett. Sam Jacobs most likely going to be assisting...
Still last time didn't captain Ablett we won a premiership so can't be too bad can it? :-\
And the Suns Goddard and Destroyers Rockliff look likely to both miss this big encounter through suspension...
... Sun Brian Lake also not looking at that flash.
Berlin's JJ Kennedy set to miss also

Cairo's Mumford escapes with a reprimand.
I was afraid the #NoMummyNoCairo calls would return. :(
JJK has annoyed me so much this year. I really don't care. My other forwards aren't a lot worse really. Aside from Zorko who is mountains better.
So we have another 5 players looking to notch game 50 this weekend if selected, some more likely than others!

Devastating blow to Berlin's finals chances, with club champion Jack Steven out for the last 3 rounds, and the first week of the finals.
Yes! That's great news for Cairo. :P
God..... DAMMIT!
He was my HA last week though... so it is a loss sure, but not devastating. He has had a very disappointing year for me.
I feel I should say that just because you rival coaches have seen a lower average from him this year and has been injured, don't think for a second you can get him in a trade. So don't even try.

So yeah, got a few forwards to play but none are filling us with too much confidence whereas our defenders seem to be scoring nicely.
Dwyer will come into the team if he survives the cut for the Pies which means we won't have to flood.
I would have thought a forward averaging 100+ for your seniors would be your F1 nigey... F3 seems an insult :-\
Royals really struggling this week only 18 players available for selection. To cover injuries Lumumba moves to mids not ideal but done out of necessity. Edwards the other choice but would have forced flood rule to be implemented. Hope emergencies not required as not strong.

Here's an interesting (for me anyway) little stat about Dylan Roberton...
Since moving to the Saints he has played 23 games. Of those 23, 9 have been played alongside Sam Fisher. In those 9 games he has averaged a very healthy 88.56, whereas in the 14 games Fisher hasn't played his average drops to just 58!! A 30 point differential! :o
With Fisher back this week, will Roberton get back to that early form from last year? I hope so... :-\

Three changes to the side that defeated the Islanders last week, with two of them forced due to injury. Out of the side go Ablett (injured), Jones (injured) and Adams (omitted), replaced by the rested and reinvigorated Minson, young defender Buntine and debutante Ben Jacobs. Jacobs was part of the deal that saw himself and Jake Stringer arrive at the Pumas with promising midfielder and 2 time Gatinho winner Mitch Duncan heading to the Tigers. Despite not having the greatest form in the lead up to the match he has committed himself at training and is raring to replay the faith of head coach Honey Badger.
In the absence of captain Gary Ablett, Rory Sloane and Sam Jacobs have agreed to split captaincy duties this week against the Cobras, showing a united front in this time where the others need strong leaders around them.
Go PUMAS!
Nice to see everyone name their team this week :)
This WXVs season can't end soon enough. Everyone and everything has turned to shower.
That ridiculously good start to the season was nothing but a purple patch.
Even if we make finals, I daresay we'll be nothing but a witch's hat. :(
Content with Sloane doing well as I brought him in SC, but Jacobs and Wright need to stahp! :(

Need Roughy to pick it up though (but Adelaide to win) :)
Aw man, was at work for final teams and wasn't expecting a recall for Rory Lobb this week so we've got Grundy (who isn't even an emg) on field, with Lobb nowhere to be seen :'(

Not good enough imo.
Douglas has fallen off from last year. Breust is up and down lately. Smith just came off two terrible games. Puopolo probs the only player that got what I expected from him last night. :P
So... Hartman isn't the sub for Geelong. If he outscores Dunstan, I might rage.
I think Jimmy as CC is going to cost me.
Hayes and McIntosh going nuts. All my demons are crap, and MHC the sub.
I reckon the Warriors might get up here.

Cobras with the runs on the board, and with HGA clearly have the upper hand at the moment. Not even joking, but I literally could have chosen anyone else in my side (who wasn't starting sub) over Ben Jacobs and I would have received more points. That's right out of the 9 players (including Jacobs), Ben was the lowest scoring of the lot and I picked him ::)

IF all players score their AFL average today, the final results will be (including HGA):

New Delhi Tigers 117 PNL Reindeers 141
Tokyo Samurai 149 Beijing Thunder 123

Wellington Warriors 141 Berlin Brewers 130
Pacific Islanders 108 Moscow Spetsnaz 133
Cape Town Cobras 154 Sao Paulo Pumas 142
London Royals 120 Toronto Wolves 143
Which would make the ladder look like this:

GG anyway, 140+ scores are usually deserved winning scores.

Hartlett and Houli were good, but Polec disappointing. Basically it comes down to me needing Zaha, Smith and Buntine to combine for 330 points or more to get the win. Unless Zaha smashes out at least 140 I don't think we stand a chance... :-\

It's been a crazy round, WXVs and AFL wise. :o
Cloke hasn't seen much of it, so if Beams can stay involved and deliver a 100+ game, I think we're in with a chance.
In with a sniff!
Once this game ends, I can do the maths and it'll come down to Apeness (+ something I imagine) vs Mumford. Could be close. :o
Lol Carlisle gets 150+ but is OOP :(
Quick maths suggests a win for New York.

Cheers man, Very lucky to get a win.
Boys dug deep when we needed it with (what I believe) is out biggest score of the year and a huge upset! Finals bound now surely. Hitting our straps at the right time of the season.
