Just getting this up now, as I might not have much time throughout the week.
Week 2 Finals Fixture:
(https://i.gyazo.com/cb2fb53dfd8a953c968a3bee0571fd9e.png)
Feel free to ignore the Giants/Rams and Breakers/Leeches matches.
Badgers vs Hawks - Hawks progress through to the preliminary finals
Owls vs Hedgies - This should be a really good game. Two teams that, on their day, can score as well as anyone in the competition, but have struggled with consistency. I like the Owls here with HGA, but an upset would not surprise.
Hoods vs Steins - Steins have really improved this year, building a really good list and should push for a spot in the 8 next year. Hoods have been very up and down, unfortunately more down than up this year. Definitely capable of an upset, but the Steins have been a bit more consistent I think, so will back them in.
Knights vs Bunnies - Knights been a bit unlucky this year, whereas Bunnies have been quite the opposite! With Danger going up against the Bombers, Danger could be breaking records left, right, and centre, and should get the Knights over the line.

How rude.
Such discrimination is totally uncalled for.

Haha, if you'd like to name a team for the play-off of the losers of the consolation finals elimination finals, then you're more than welcome to do so :P

Libba, Cutler, Lonergan, Fasolo, Emac, Butler all added to the outs this week (actually Fasolo was already out but still)
Shenton could play though! Would make it 44/45 that have played on my list this year :P

Confirmed, he will be getting a gig.
Hedgies would like first bench to be mid, followed by back, then forward then ruck.
Good luck this week Owls!
FARK I LOVE YOU RUPERT WILLS, RACK UP THOSE CP!!!
OLEG!!! :D
Short went alright too!
Badgers could be a chance :o
Hawks missing plenty too ;)

Haha yeah I just saw, Beams/Shiel/Lids all out hurts. Should be a good match!
Jobe would be handy too!
Pfft, doesn't count :P
Andrew Moore trying to push up his trade value ;)
Think Seeds gets replaced since he was done for the night like halfway through the first.

Yeah, Hughes will come on for him
Matches are looking very close at the moment!
Badgers and Hawks could be decided by HGA, and the better captain of Steven and Neale could decide the result of the Owls/Hedgies game :o
We're done!
Bring it Rusty 8)

Hopefully I don't have to play an OOP ruck! Nicholls in doubt with a PCL injury, and Currie might not be back from injury this week (that timing though if he does return <3).
Will get final results up once UF decides that the round has actually finished and lets me do HGA and all that, so either later tonight or tomorrow morning-ish (my morning, probably afternoon for others)
Final score adjustments:
- Owls -16, as Guthrie goes into mids to replace Thompson, and KK is first emergency so comes on before Aish
- Steins +191, with Mills and Stanley replacing Redden and Hogan respectively
- Knights +100, with Impey and Hill both coming into forwards OOP
- Bunnies +29 with Bews OOP ruck
HGA:
- Badgers +69
- Owls +67
- Steins +65
- Bunnies +60
Final match results:

Badgers and Owls both progress through to the prelims, but will both be facing a tough ask against the Werewolves and Hurricanes at home.
Hawks and Hedgies exit the competition, but both teams should be back here again this time next year and hoping to go another step or two further.
In the bottom 8 competition, Knights showing they are better than what their ladder position suggests, and the Hoods managed to just knock off the Steins as well. The Dragons and Magic await them though.
