EurAsia  AAP Alliance Melbourne Cricket Ground       6  v  4




I love this part of the calendar! We are approaching the 11th instalment WXVs biggest annual blockbuster and tensions have never been higher. We have two brand new coaches ready to take the reigns of each side of the world; one is looking vengeful, and the other vulnerable.

For the newbies, there is 1 (and a half) too many AFL rounds to fill a WXV fixture, and as such the H&A fixture takes a break over the second half of the bye rounds. During that time, we split the competition in 2 by geography, and select the coaches of these two sides by whomever is highest on the WXV Ladder so far in the year. They get to pick a side of 19 out of the players of the teams whom fall within their allocated geography.




The peak of EurAsia dominance was Holz' 2020 team, whom scored a fearsome 189 and brushed aside a helpless AAP. This was in response the famous AAP victory in 2019 where up-and-comer Reilly O'Brien came from the clouds to take down a much more fancied EurAsia.

The scales were evened in 2021, thanks to a rise within the Alliance ranks which included eventual premiers Mexico City. Alas, EurAsia was too good on the day, thanks to a masterclass captaincy selection by JBs-Hawks backing in at-the-time maligned Lachie Neale to lead EurAsia to a great victory.

Enter 2022, and a MASSIVE shift has occurred over the past 12 months. What EurAsia was in 2020, AAP is in 2022 and enter this match as the clear favourites, where ALL of the top 4 teams form part of the Alliance ranks:

Congratulations to new representative coaches KB (New Delhi) and iZander (Buenos Aires)! Both bided their time at the bottom, stayed true to their vision and will now be rewarded with the keys to world. Great stories!

iZ's AAP have a score to settle clearly, angry that EurAsia lead 6-4 on the ledger on the back of winning 5 of the past 6 match-ups. It's almost poetic that iZ would be the one to turn the tide, given it was his own Reilly O'Brien that pinched 2019.

But KBs EurAsia don't scare easy.

Defence
The Alliance have the top 3 defenders to choose from this year, none better than Christchurch's own George Hewett. He, Sicily (Mexico City) and Stewart (Cairo) all average 113+ and will likely feature if fit. KBs own Jack Sinclair will almost certainly fly the flag for EurAsia, being the best perfoming defender for his massive side, but the odds will be against him to outscore this fancied AAP bookend.

Midfield
Arguably the most vital players to select, it's all about who has the highest ceiling out of the mids and which player is going to go BIG on rep round day. It was Beijing's Lachie Neale that was the hero for EurAsia last year, and he is the #1 player going into this match, followed closely by Seoul's Clayton Oliver. But then it's the Alliance who follows behind them, with the next 4 highest scorers headed by Pacific's Rory Laird. Maybe iZ will think outside the box and select his own Ollie Wines? He has produced big games this year (155) after all. It's pretty even, but I think the Alliance might have the advantage here.

Ruck
EurAsia have traditionally been spoilt for choice in the ruck department, but probably only have 2 genuine options in #1 ruck Tim English (London) and #2 Max Gawn (aw yeah), fresh off a mammoth 198. The Alliance have clearly addressed their ruck situation, with Pacific's Witts (119.5), Cairo's Preuss (110) and the infamous ROB (102.9) all presenting as genuine options. Still, this continues to be EurAsia's strength.

Forward
EurAsia have the clear advantage in the forward line this year, boasting the top 3 (and it's a clear top 3) options, including the aforementioned Tim English (121), Tokyo's Josh Dunkley (112) and PNL's Will Brodie (107). AAP follow-up with Toronto's Heeney (100.5) and Pacific's Taylor Walker (100), but then have to look to the likes of Cairo's Tom J Lynch (92.6) and Jeremy Cameron (91.4), whom are prone to the odd-mare. I suspect iZ will have the most creative license in the forward line, and he'll need to nail them in order to even the ledger against EurAsia here.




My tip? I don't think AAP knows how to beat EurAsia anymore. They got lucky in 2019, and 3 of their 4 wins have been by 30 SC points or less. Even with all the momentum, they won't know what to do with it.

EurAsia 3-peat!

So with that said, tell us what you think! But more importantly, put forward your players to KB and iZ and get involved! Ensure that one of your players isn't a Salty Second  8)

Reps in progress

Starting off the clash, we have EurAsia's Will Brodie (PNL) on the field and Andrew Brayshaw (Dublin) waiting at first drop, ready to jump in if he salutes today.

For AAP,  we have James Sicily (Mexico City), and the man mountain from Christchurch playing the crucial VC role, Sean Darcy.

This clash has the potential to set the tone for AAP especially if Darcy goes big.

Bruce Laird taking captaincy honours, nice.  Scored 115+ in 8 out of 10 games this year.
   Witts could make a case for captain himself.  Hasn't gone under 113 in the last 7 weeks.

We have a pressure cooker on our hands!

Thanks to the heroics of Toronto's Jack Macrae, AAP are within striking distance of EurAsia, with all eyes on captain Rory Laird to deliver the goods.

EurAsia's 94 point lead will be defended by Dawson, Miller and Keays against an-all Pacific force of Captain Laird, Witts and Walker.

Can the Islanders take AAP to the promised land?

Stay tuned!

AAP ROB themselves of a certain victory

A devastating result for the much fancied AAP, going down to EurAsia by 15 SC points  :o my lord, there was so many marginal calls that decided this result!

The biggest one clearly is iZander doubting himself, picking the highest averaging ruck at his disposal in Witts instead of his own ROB, who would have been the difference in a 2ND AAP win.

On the otherside of the ledger - when EurAsia's lead was being chased down furiously by the Pacific trio - it was KBs own Jordan Dawson who STOOD UP TALL AND HELD OUT! His massive 140 was truly game defining, delivering his coach a much deserved victory for EurAsia. But perhaps the most crucial call that KB got correct was that of captaincy, going on to pick Seoul's Clayton Oliver (141) who ended up being BOG for EurAsia. So close was KB choosing other players, but he backed in his analysis and it was a game winning call.

There was plenty of coaching prowess on show for AAP too - correctly keeping its emergencies off the field on its way to a massive 1739. Toronto's Jack Macrae and his 155 was simply amazing and pegged back the Oliver lead that would give AAP a shot going into Sunday. iZ was also able to actually outscore the highly credentialed forward line of AAP with his own forwards, but ironically it was EurAsia's comparative weakness in defence which significantly outperformed AAPs by 91 points, and played a major part in the result.

Congrats to KB for notching up his first win as coach of EurAsia! Commerisations to iZ, whom I'm sure will never ever (nor any future AAP coach) dare omit EurAsia's kryptonite again.

Which of the worthy was omitted in the representation round?

There was a very impressive 20 centurions selected in the match-up, with KB picking 11/15 and iZ picking 9/15. Both were spoiled for choice, with a total of 78 players going on to post centuries, 43 for AAP and 35 for EurAsia.

So who were these players?

Heartbreakingly, iZ's own Toby Greene would emerge as the saltiest second of rep round, scoring a would-be BOG performance. Granted, his 3 consecutive scores of 80+ didn't give many hints it was coming, but it certainly would have won his coach the game.

The next two saltiest players were also on AAPs side, via Christchuch's Mason Redman and Mexico City's Hayden Young, but they too would have been left field selections based on their 2022 form.

Out of the top 10 players, 6 were from AAP and 4 were from EurAsia, but KB was able to pick 3 of the 4, ahead of the 2 iZ was able to grab.

Further to the pain of missing out on selecting his own would-be BOG player, iZander actually had 7 players from Buenos Aires score tons... and he didn't pick any of them! He clearly needed to be more selfish. Rio also had a whopping 7 players score a ton, only to be snubbed in each instance.
