Title: WXV Round 16: Cobras fight Spetsnaz for finals fight & North American Cup
Post by: ossie85 on July 13, 2014, 12:46:03 PM
LAST CHANCE TO USE RESTING RULE. YOU CAN'T REST A PLAYER IN ROUND 17

Partial lock out! Carlton, North Melbourne, St. Kilda, Fremantle, GWS, Geelong, Port, Melbourne, Bulldogs and Essendon players locked Friday night 18th, rest the following Friday 25th.


Round 16      AFL Round 18 (partial lock-out)   
         
Mexico City Suns   v   Toronto Wolves   Guadalajara   Americas Premiership Match & North American Cup
Sao Paulo Pumas   v   London Royals   Estadio do Pumas   
Moscow Spetsnaz   v   Cape Town Cobras   Luzhniki Stadium   
Berlin Brewers   v   Pacific Islanders   Berlin Olympic Stadium   
Buenos Aires Armadillos   v   Wellington Warriors   Estadio de River   AAP Alliance Premiership Match
New York Revolution   v   Seoul Magpies   Michigan Stadium, Ann Arbor   
Beijing Thunder   v   Cairo Sands   Beijing Olympic Park   
PNL Reindeers   v   Tokyo Samurai   State de France   EurAsian Premiership Match
Dublin Destroyers   v   New Delhi Tigers   Crooke Park   EurAsian Premiership Match

Mexico City v Toronto

Toronto are on a 5 match winning streak, and have won 9 of its last 11. The Suns just lost top spot, but have also won 9 of its last 11 (well 13 of 15 really). This is the 3rd North American Cup, with the ledger tied at 1-1! Can Toronto secure its 3rd finals appearance in a row? Or will they fall back in the pack as the Suns try to reclaim top spot.

Mexico City run home:
16   H   Toronto Wolves
17   H   Cairo Sands

Tough last 2 matches, with both Toronto and Cairo capable of big scores.

Toronto run home:
16  A   Mexico City Suns
17  H   New York Revolution

Toronto could make the finals if they lose both, but not guaranteed!


Sao Paulo v London

London have been struggling for a while now, and are likely only a mathematical chance of finals, but the Pumas can not afford to take this team lightly if they are to make the top 4.

Sao Paulo run home:
16   H   London Royals
17   H   Buenos Aires Armadillos

Is likely that the Pumas will have to win both to stay in 4th spot, with Moscow and PNL only percentage behind. The Rhythm Cup looks huge!

London run home:
16   A   Sao Paulo Pumas
17   H   Beijing Thunder

To make the finals, the Royals need results to go its way and to win both of these matches.


Moscow v Cape Town

This is a mammoth match, Moscow are very close to another top 4 spot, but can't lose. Cape Town caused an upset last week to sneak back in the 8. Cape Town were clearly more impressive last week, but Moscow will start favourites.

Moscow run home:
16   H   Cape Town Cobras
17   H   Berlin Brewers

Need to win both to make the top 4, and hope the Pumas drop one.

Cape Town run home:
16   A   Moscow Spetsnaz
17   H   PNL Reindeers

With Cairo, Berlin and London still in finals calculation, even 1 loss could be disastrous, and they have 2 very tight games!

Berlin v Pacific

Can Pacific seal Berlin's fate? The Islanders are on a 9 match losing streak, and VERY close to the spoon. Surely Berlin can't let this one slip?

Berlin's run home:
16   H   Pacific Islanders
17   A   Moscow Spetsnaz

The loss to Wellington was a devastating blow to its finals hopes, but they can still make the finals if results go its way. Just can't lose a match now.

Pacific run home:
16   A   Berlin Brewers
17   H   Dublin Destroyers

The Islanders are close to the spoon, and need to be competitive each week as percentage is key. Dublin looks daunting.

Buenos Aires v Wellington

Wellington showed its potential last week, and will need to repeat it again if they are any chance of beating ladder leaders Buenos Aires.

Buenos Aires run home:
16   H   Wellington Warriors
17   A   Sao Paulo Pumas

Wellington look more tricky now, but the real threat to its minor premiership credentials come against arch-rival Sao Paulo.

Wellington run home:
16   A   Buenos Aires Armadillos
17   H   New Delhi Tigers

Wellington climbed off the bottom of the ladder, and are a real chance of another victory in Round 17.

New York v Seoul

New York finally got that elusive win! And they come up against another unlucky team in Seoul. The best team will be decided on the day.

New York run home:
16   H   Seoul Magpies
17   A   Toronto Wolves

Playing for pride, they will hope to cause an upset.

Seoul run home:
16   A   New York Revolution
17   H   Tokyo Samurai

Playing for pride, they will hope to cause an upset.

Beijing v Cairo

Cairo need to win this game. Simple as that. And Beijing would need to cause a huge upset to do it.

Beijing run home:
16   H   Cairo Sands
17   A   London Royals

Perhaps London its best chance for a victory, but need every point they can get to avoid the Spoon.

Cairo run home:
16   A   Beijing Thunder
17   A   Mexico City Suns

Run into a Mexico City wall in Round 17, and may need to win it to make the finals.

PNL v Tokyo

Tokyo are proving to be tricky business lately, and PNL won't take them lightly.

PNL's run home:
16   H   Tokyo Samurai
17   A   Cape Town Cobras

Reindeers still a top 4 chance, and need to win both.

Tokyo's run home:
16   A   PNL Reindeers
17   A   Seoul Magpies

Tokyo a mathematical chance of making the finals, and it would be spectacular if they did! But so many results need to fall there way.

Dublin v New Delhi

Destroyers won't break a sweat here.

Dublin run home:
16   H   New Delhi Tigers
17   A   Pacific Islanders

Dublin should cruise home, and will hope other results fall there way and may steal a top 2 spot.

New Delhi's run home:
16   A   Dublin Destroyers
17   A   Wellington Warriors

New Delhi have likely avoided the spoon, and Wellington look its best shot for victory.

I think I said at the start of the season that I didn't want the Mexico game to decide whether we play finals or not... looks like it might.  :-X

Here's hoping we smash Beijing and keep our percentage healthy enough so that if other results don't go our way, we scrape into 8th.

Congrats to skipper Pendles!! 43 tons from 49 starts is genuinely insane. So glad I somehow snared the #1 pick, he's been the backbone of the club and looks as though he may have single handedly dragged the club into finals yet again.

I don't know about you... but I'd rather be excited about getting 76 thanks to the sub rule than a 0 from a player who spent nearly a quarter on the ground.  :)

Knowing your track record of doging and moaning about stuff, I reckon you'd rather a 76 from one of your players than a 0.

Not to mention you've undoubtedly had a few sub-76 scores this year.   ;)

Right, realising that there is a thousand loopholes that will be exploited between now and then, but current scores are:

* Captain/Co-Captains played, # One Co-Captain played

Mexico City Suns (8/660) v Toronto Wolves (10/779)
Ho-hum game so far, with Toronto a chance for an upset, but the Suns with the edge.

Sao Paulo Pumas (7/415) v London Royals (9/646)
London with the jump in a low scoring affair! London's finals hopes alive, with the Pumas top 4 hopes slipping away?


Moscow Spetsnaz (6/764*) v Cape Town Cobras (8/733)
Spetsnaz the clear edge


Berlin Brewers (7/693*) v Pacific Islanders (11/771*)
Brewers doing enough here.


Buenos Aires Armadillos (12/1127*) v Wellington Warriors (8/613*)
Wellington still a shot here, but the Armadillos with points on the board and heavy favourites.


New York Revolution (10/935*) v Seoul Magpies (5/423)
Too close to call for this one! Dangerfield holds the key


Beijing Thunder (7/748*) v Cairo Sands (3/311)
Beijing being strong this week! While Cairo also out of the gate quickly, but would be nervous.


PNL Reindeers (11/1056) v Tokyo Samurai (6/570)
Jake Carlisle keeping Tokyo in this, but PNL are going guns.

Dublin Destroyers (9/959#) v New Delhi Tigers (9/758*)
New Delhi not embarrassing themselves, but Dublin are comfortable

All good Ringo!

Reckon if McVeigh goes 130 you'll be tough to beat
I thought once CC's named you couldn't revert back to sole captains? Or was that only in the case that one played in the first week of a partial lockout round?

yeah, since neither played that's fine
All good. Just concerned you were trying to give ringo an advantage so he could beat me :P

WTF! WTF!

I have to play D.Grimes, Luke Thompson, and Clay Cameron (OOP) if McDonough isn't a late in...

That's three young KPP's who couldn't score 70 if their life depended on it!

Okay, so apparently Rischitelli is a big chance not to play tomorrow.

I think we'll give a debut to Alex Woodward because I don't think we have much to lose as I believe that if he is sub (highly likely), like Hartman, we'll get Justin Clarke's score.

Is that right?

Mexico City Suns (9/773) v Toronto Wolves (12/956)

Sidebottom (C), Adcock, Hodge, Thomson, Goodes, Lewis vs Pendlebury (C), Young, Maguire, 183

Maths is most likely all over the shop but either way I'm in a bit of strife. Magnificent from Butler, Riewoldt can't be blamed due to the weather but I just fear the two 20 scores will kill me. If I had the sub rule I could be receiving Morris' 85 for Ziebell too :(

Need Pendles to go a lot lot bigger than sidey

Ball not playing means we get no resting bonus next week, but happy that Thomas returned this week and scored pretty well on his return! Means midfield spots are a tough spot to earn at PNL!

Only 100 points ahead of Pacific with same amount of players played.

Doesn't sound too concerning yeah?

Even if you had Luke Thompson and Clay Cameron (OOP) on the way?

Was also surprised Pacific didn't loophole Bontempelli's 97 instead of playing the 35 averaging Jack Martin. That could cost them.

If all players score their average (and Cairo's Hartman scores 50).

HGA included.


Mexico City Suns 1472 v  Toronto Wolves 1359

Suns with clear edge, but it may come down to captains Sidebottom and Pendlebury


Sao Paulo Pumas 1320 v London Royals 1210

Surprisingly Sao Paulo are still in front as London don't want this chance to slip...


Moscow Spetsnaz 1558 v    Cape Town Cobras 1448

Spetsnaz closing look to secure a home final

Berlin Brewers 1242 v Pacific Islanders 1024

Not one for the highlight reels


Buenos Aires Armadillos 1344 v Wellington Warriors 1284

Warriors a chance for an upset


New York Revolution 1294 v Seoul Magpies 1353

Magpies looking to get back on winner's list



Beijing Thunder 1329 v Cairo Sands 1460

Beijing performing well, but Sands would take a lot of losing.


PNL Reindeers 1614 v Tokyo Samurai 1449

Are the Reindeers the dark horse for the flag?


Dublin Destroyers 1592 v New Delhi Tigers 1174

As expected

Mexico City Suns 1454 v  Toronto Wolves 1379
The Wolves close the gap a fraction

Sao Paulo Pumas 1312 v London Royals 1211
A welcome century from Harwood gives the Pumas some breathing space

Moscow Spetsnaz 1481 v    Cape Town Cobras 1426
Moscow had a disastrous game, but are still in front

Berlin Brewers 1327 v Pacific Islanders 1043
Berlin can count themselves home now thanks to Zorko


Buenos Aires Armadillos 1344 v Wellington Warriors 1316
Wellington are getting even closer!

New York Revolution 1238 v Seoul Magpies 1321
New York are falling away


Beijing Thunder 1369 v Cairo Sands 1546
Hanley breaks Beijing hearts


PNL Reindeers 1592 v Tokyo Samurai 1432

Zorko :(

Just when Henderson goes big and I finally feel that he'll beat Zorko, he goes ahead and pulls out a 150. I can't win!!

I'd be more than happy to get henderson back.

Could give you Wells to add to your North midfield  :o
Just try getting Wells back on the park first :P

I made a pact with myself a couple weeks ago not to target another north midfielder...Cunnington, Swallow, Greenwood, Ziebell and MacMillan (when fit) may be a bit excessive  :-[

Screw the pact!  :P

I'm somewhat similar with my melbourne players. I have an aim to have a net change in position of TWO less melbourne players. So, I get rid of two, then I get can more if I want to as long as I give one up  :P

Right! One match to play:

Mexico City (13/1173 + current HGA of 42 + Sidebottom C + Thompson) v Toronto (13/1049 + Pendlebury C + Young)
Suns tough to beat from here... but if Sidebottom fails and Pendles goes nuts...

Sao Paulo Pumas (11/811 + current HGA of 34 + Jacobs C + Sloane + Wright + Martin) v London Royals (13/1015 + Lumumba + Mackay)
A poor score by McVeigh really puts the ball in the Pumas court, a golden opportunity slipping for London.

Moscow Spetsnaz (13/1229 + current HGA of 29 + Seedsman + Jenkins) v Cape Town Cobras (15/1380)
Moscow are doing its best to lose this, but they only need 122 from Seedsman and Jenkins.... Cairo and Berlin will be watching this match with interest.

Berlin Brewers (13/1150 + current HGA of 44 + Crouch + Thompson) v Pacific Islanders (13/860 + Blair + Elliott)
Berlin easy from here..

Buenos Aires Armadillos (15/1352 incl. HGA) v Wellington Warriors (14/1214 + Walker).
Taylor Walker needs to score 139 for an epic upset here. This is still likely Buenos Aires, but a very very very nervous wait.

New York Revolution (14/1107 + current HGA of 27 + Cloke) v Seoul Magpies  (12/1034 + Dangerfield C + Macaffer + Langdon)
Seoul pretty comfortable from here barring a catastrophe

Beijing Thunder (11/1080 + current HGA of 54 + Grundy + Betts + Kennedy + Toovey) v Cairo Sands (12/1145 + Beams CC + Douglas + Smith)
You'd still think Cairo.... but stranger things...

PNL Reindeers (13/1415 + Current HGA of 28 + Jaensch    + Lynch) v Tokyo Samurai (14/1267 + Henderson)
PNL coasting here

Dublin Destroyers (14/1621 + current HGA of 56 + Martin) v New Delhi Tigers (13/1043 + Podsiadly + Talia)
New Delhi are real chance here....

nah we will be mre active to get under the cap
(that doesn't mean i'm going to let us be ripped off though :P)

Forwards we have plenty and also i know of 4 clubs already who want forwards
depending exactly what type of scorer poeple want will determine where they go
(i.e for a star forward like F1 Holz has Gray on the table but for more depth like F4 or F5 etc we have some like Dawes Tom t Lynch etc)

We'll lose. Seedsy and Jenkins should be good but none of my players can clutch.

61 points each is all we need. That's a normally well-below-desired score for both players. I want them to be 80-85 players weekly. Seedsman won't get tagged, the pies backline suck. It'll happen. Seedsman 55, Jenkins 50.

If we win they'll both go crazy and go 130 each so next time we need them they'll suck.

At 3QT I trail London 1159 to 1143. With 4 players (including captain) playing compared to 2 I think I should get the win from here (although Wright subbed out), but going to be a terrible score by us...

When the Pumas play poorly, and you need to keep a top 8 dream alive, you just can't let this slip.

Unfortunately London can kiss season 2014 goodbye :( The Pumas are still in the box seat for another top 4 finish, but it isn't secure.

New Delhi Savaged, with plenty of Gaffs and looked a bit Greene

Too much? Savage, Gaff and Greene among the best for New Delhi, and frankly the only thing interesting about this match was the puns.

Dublin still in the top 2 hunt with another MAMMOTH score...

Dublin Destroyers (27.15.177) defeated New Delhi Tigers (19.6.120)

Best
Dublin: T Rockliff, J Selwood, R Gray, T Goldstein, L Franklin, J Green, G Birchall, J Watts, N Dal Santo
New Delhi: S Savage, A Gaff, T Greene, L Montagna

Substitutes
Dublin: J Green subbed in for C Dixon

Late Changes
New Delhi: G Horlin-Smith replaced S Hampson

Reserves
Belfast Braves (9.5.59) defeated Mumbai Elephants (6.8.44)

Best
Belfast: N Jetta
Mumbai: R Bail

Best
Rio de Janeiro: J Hall, J Stringer, C Masten, T Adams, M Wallis
Imperial: Nil
We actually scored 137. You've mistakenly given us 100 points for Josh Hall, but it was Aaron Hall playing, not Josh :)

Doesn't change the result though. At least my reserves are flying at the moment!

WE BELIEVE IN FRANCE THIS SEASON! With Pumas current form, think we are pretty big chances of grabbing a top 4 spot :D.

Marseilles keep trekking along, anything less than that flag and we'll be disappointed in our lot!

Sort of didn't expect that win after a mediocre round, but we'll definitely take it!

Two HUGE upsets. The boys are digging deep  8)
