the wolves and bison have quietly been putting up good scores while the competition had its attention of the big 3. Its time for one of these teams to step out of the shadow and qualify for the Grand Final. The wolves upset the eagles in the first round, while the bison took out one of the premiership fancies in the roulettes. Last time these teams played the Bison defeated the Wolves 143 to 134.

This game is too close to call.


The mighty Serbian Eagles look to push aside premiership pretenders in the metal. The old man brigade of the Metal is looking for one last shot at the cup, coming against a team younger, faster and more skilled than them. Serbia shocked  the competition with thier first loss of the season coming finals and will look to put than anomly past them. Last time these teams played the Eagles destoroyed the Metal 162 to 134.

the Question this week is how much do the Eagles win by.

#nobias

Best of luck LH :)

This is your chance to exact revenge on me for knocking you out of elxam last week :P

That is the most flowering retarded pre-game write up I have ever read Holz.

Your team ain't shower.

Old man brigade?

Mids - Montagna 29, Jobe 28, McLean 27, Cooney 27 < currently our top 4 mids

None of them are even 30 yet. It's hardly an old grandpa midfield...

And there's no reason Minson (like 27?) Cox (still gun) Stevie J, NickRoo, Bartel Jeremy CAmeron, Treloar, Corey Enright etc. are going to slow down...

We're not as old as you think.

I like how you named enright with treloar/ cameron.... he's 33 next year :P Minson's 28 ftr

your team's good nails, but it's basically undeniably old. Just taking a  quick look at your team list, I think your average age for your starting 15 would be close to 30 :P

love how nobody is comenting that the eagles are old

Petrie Boomer Boyd Malceski Goddard Shaw Adcock Simpson :P

I do have Pendles Barlow Lids Goldy Cloke Gibbs Douglas Dixon Swallow Clarke Hogan as a decent young core.

I thought that was a given?

sandilands as well :P

Nails you idiot, Blease is injured... And don't we have Jeremy Cameron, why didn't you name him? ??? Weird guy.

I told you I wanted you to check the team

I named it at uni when I didn't have my proper team lists and tools available to me.

Pendles (C) + Cloke vs. Easy beats Eagles

Cox vs. gun pies

not really fair is it?

Pendles 39 point 3rd qtr ::)

maybee you should have gun pies in your team except for easy beat eagle spuds.

350 from Pendles (C) and Cloke would be nice.

cox is going very well though.

heath shaw i hate you

FFS

Collingwood playing chip it around for most of 4th quarter

= Cox hardly got a touch and my new DT player Scooter who was on track for 120 gone to shower

348/3 v 100/1

its a close contest,

If only i played heath shaw

Pendles was all junk in that 4th quarter

Didn't really earn much at all.

Darren Glass had an absolute clanger which resulted in a Pendles mark. So frustrating haha.

Will be interesting how captain Tags goes against GCS.

Luke Ball going down hurts :( Was on track for 120+

You can complain about Shaw in the emerg all you want...

We have Scott Thompson in reserves before HT on 95 at HT.

Agreed zip. Mine was smart, Shaw coming off a shocker, rumours of injuries.

Thompson v Dees. When I saw he was pumping out a huge score I was worried you had him captain.

Shaw is so inconsistent though, he's almost a guaranteed 90+ after a couple of quiet ones. :P

To be fair not naming Thompson was the right decision still.

70.33 3rd average
75 5rd average

Got the red vest twice in his last 5 games

vs. other players who all had 90-110 3rd averages.

Lake 83 :D
Stevie J 56 :D
Enright 57 :D
Bartel 48 :D

Those Cats players 18 minutes into the 2nd qtr. Should all get around 100 which would be wicked. :D

Walker out!

This is bull. I thought to myself yes walker gone he is a defender so in comes Shaw.

Forgot he was a forward an oop Clarke now.

fluke a win? Just remember which team has earnt the home final Holzman and is in form, and which one is choking and failing.

Holz, you've only scored more than us this season because half our team has been injured and you've been lucky

Non-injury sub, McPharlin is our no.1 defender. Missed him half the season

Jobe Watson - our top 1-2 midfielder, missed him half the season with other key players out that I cbf lising, while you've pretty much had your best team on the park each week.

We also had players playing below their capabilities: Cooney, Scotland, Cross, NDS etc.

Now they're back.

1:39 into the game. McLean on 14.

McLean off injured

Likely to come back on but be heavily restricted

if we lose because of this ::)

46 from mclean with hga.

Huzzah

Just hope Clarke can match that oop

And Clarke on 42 at 1/4 time.

If we lose due to injury for a player on track for 200

#crockofbullshower

He doesn't always slow down...

129 last week.

Injury and HGA = I get 0.25 of a player you still get 0.5

HGA loss could also cost me half a player.

In reality I'm half a player down or more.

Good thing most of your players are going above your averages.

Looking like Scotland and enright will combine for 230+

Earlier in the year they would struggle to crack 150

Earlier in the year they were under performing

Now they're just performing like they have for the last 5 years. Can't really say lucky. Just playing like the players they really are.

Scotland off injured for 5-10 minutes now

We're going to lose based on injuries ::)

What the flower? Nails, Heath Scotland is not in your team. He's a player for the Bison?
How long have you been naming him in your team?
We've had him all year...

lmao.

Pretty sure this is the first time ever.

I named the teams at uni because I had to go to work from uni.

I didn't have team lists on me that I use every week so it was a lot off the top of my head

Have Scotland in WXVs and AXVs so got confused.

flower

guess we get Staker? Shame we probably have a better option too.

Perhaps an auto forfeit for stealing a player :)

I'll let it slide nails I'll take you out fair and square.

On that note Simpson and Goddard going huge

Torp Simpson over jom is looking the correct move, for the short run.

We're missing Bob Murphy

He'd be a guaranteed lock each and every week.

Shame I had him listed I swear.

I got so confused naming teams which you can tell based on the fact I actually named my AXVs team in the EXVs thread as well.

:'(

We're missing Bob Murphy... he'd be guaranteed to play

I reckon it's a go off last week's backline thing ;)

Yeah, I think I would've noticed if you'd done it any other week.

#scotlandgate

How do we know Holz didn't use his admin to edit Scotland into our lineup?

(http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j184/carlsbadboltfan/conspiracy.jpg)

Nails i think you should just accept that you coach too many teams for the position that your life is in (being at uni) and just accept what is given to you, instead of fighting it.

I don't have an issue with it

I made 1 mistake in like... 70+ games.

It was because I was at uni and had to go to work at 5pm. The issue was I had work at 5pm and had no time to go home. I'll just transfer my lists to my laptop as well and then no more problems.

Unless I've done the adding up wrong, it's looking like a very handy advantage so far. Obviously, it's not over yet, but I'm liking my lead. Just need a big one from Rocky (or a quiet one from Dusty) and I should be home!

At this stage the Bison look to have the Wolves measure. Amazing effort for a team that hasn't really been considered a Premiership front runner at any stage this year!

The Eagles have got the runs on the board at this stage and should account for the Metal, but Sweden's captain Montagna looms as a key player. A big score from him could throw things wide open. Both teams have been affected by selections, and hopefully this doesn't prove the deciding factor.

I think we were one of the few favourites in preseason, before Suckling went down injured.
Had the best looking backline at that stage and forwards looked stacked.
Then everything went a bit downhill but we stuck around.
