EMG: Z.Guthrie, J.Sinclair, O.McInerney 81, J.Darling 125 (sub)

Love seeing the team being carried by the lesser lights. Daisy, Darling going LARGE. Gray stiffed, deserved more than 122 imo. What does Jukercoach give a guy who kicked 6 straight from 20 touches in a 5 point win?

Definitely 135+, maybe 150 at a stretch

Colorado Avalanche 15.11.101 lost to Boston Terriers 19.11.125
(Real: 1519 vs 1875)

Pretty big blowout in the end, as should be expected between third and twelfth. Cotchin was a clear BOG but Scharenberg was also very impressive, but he didn't have too much support at all while Cotchin had plenty (see below).

Best
Colorado: Scharenberg, Blakely
Boston: Cotchin, Darling, Howe, Gray, Neale, Thomas, Redden, Hall, Sidebottom


Chicago Sharks 20.7.127 defeated San Francisco Grizzlies 17.10.112
(Real: 1908 vs 1681)

Was there ever any doubt this would happen? Have scored 33 more points than Chicago over the season but get smashed by them head to head - no thanks to my forwards and utilities failing to have a 70+ despite all being pretty competent fantasy players (bar Aaron Young). Oliver the clear BOG (as captain no less) while McDonald and Parker were also big. Stewart and Adams tried late but couldn't overhaul the deficit.

Best
Chicago: Oliver, McDonald, Parker, Yeo, Sicily, Lobb, Gaff
San Francisco: Stewart, Adams, Martin, Anderson, Hunter, Coniglio, Wines


New Brooklyn Hawks 15.13.103 lost to Carolina Panthers 20.8.128
(Real: 1552 vs 1916)

A return to the Carolina of 2017! Big performance and NBH - although it probably wouldn't have made much difference either way in the end - were poor (obviously couldn't come when they played me two weeks ago). Five 125+ scores sure did help the Panthers while their lower-end players were also good - Short 83, Howard 87, McKernan 94, Tomlinson 75 - Dusty was their second lowest scorer, who as VC prevented them from hitting a 2000+ score.

Best
Brooklyn: Nankervis, Gunston
Carolina: Grundy, Bontempelli, Menegola, Ryan, Atkins, Ward, Ellis-Yolman


Anaheim Mighty Ducks 18.11.119 lost to Wisconsin Cockerels 19.10.126
(Real: 1781 vs 1887)

Gawn and Macrae, what more can you say! (See what I did there? Poetic and comedy gold) The two-man show lead the way and got the win yet again, with Anaheim left cursing Callum Brown (18 as HGA) and Tom Cole (36) as their stumbling blocks despite a very decent team performance, lead by big man Sandi and captain Dangerfield. Zorko back to his best a good sign for Wisconsin but when the Macrae and Gawn points dry up, their forward line weaknesses might be exposed.

Best
Anaheim: Sandilands, Dangerfield, Burgoyne, Mundy, Heppell, Smith, Lewis
Wisconsin: Macrae, Gawn, Zorko, Miller, Duggan, Dunstan, Duncan


Ottawa Otters 18.12.120 defeated Las Vegas Sinners 17.9.111
(Real: 1793 vs 1671)

The Sinners' fortunes sure do run through Tom Mitchell, and his 72 just wasn't good enough in what is a really good win by the Otters, lead by Ben Cunnington getting a showerload of contested possessions and not really having many bad scores until the final four players listed on the teamsheet (59 53 41 57). Sinners had three scores in the 30s which is never a good sign (I know what it's like) but at least Rockliff scored well (finally).

Best
Ottawa: Cunnington, Webster, McLean, Treloar, Shiels
Las Vegas: Lloyd, Fyfe, Westhoff, Caddy


Houston Bombers 17.14.116 defeated Quito Quetzals 16.11.107
(Real: 1741 vs 1603)

Houston had a ton of players in the best, but their lower-end players and co-captains let them down - but not enough to cough up the win.

Best
Houston: Macmillan, Kreuzer, Crisp, Lambert, Zaharakis, Simpson, Hooker, Greenwood
Quito: Curnow, Dunkley, Higgins, Suckling, Breust
