#20
Chicago Sharks 18.10.118 defeated Colorado Avalanche 15.10.100
(Real: 1763 vs 1505)

Chicago were pretty good, Colorado were pretty average. A pretty expected scoreline to be honest. Razzle dazzle Fantasia was at his best with a best on ground performance, while Sam Walsh continued his good form with the CC for Colorado. Chicago were above average all over the ground until you got to the forwards (33, 57, 44, 81 - Fantasia was a utility), with the sub Hunt not helping improve that much. Paul Ahern was very poor with just 22 in the guts for Colorado, while his sub replacement wasn't much better in Duman's 22 (and he'll miss his next two too!).

Best
Chicago: Fantasia, Hurn, Sicily, Fisher, Oliver, Ryder, Parker
Colorado: Walsh, Drew, Savage


Boston Terriers 14.18.102 lost to New Brooklyn Hawks 16.15.111
(Real: 1533 vs 1672)

Yikes...NBH got the win but were below their usual 2019 standards, while Boston had a really really poor week - I bet the other 10 coaches in the comp wishes they got either of these teams out of the way this week. Where to start - both Captains were below their averages for 2019 with Neale's 91 and Cripps' 110 (funnily enough still the top Hawk score), both sides had an eagle score horribly up forward in Darling's 9 and Cripps' 22, while both missed half a game from Parfitt and Milera. The NBH midfield were at their consistently high standard with four tons, a 98 and an 82 which won them the game (compared to Boston with Sidebottom, Redden and Sheed failing to crack 70), as their other lines (save Papley and Berry) were well below expectations.

Best
Boston: Langdon, Smith, Pendlebury, Goldstein
Brooklyn: Cripps, Crouch, Papley, Steele, Crouch, Berry


San Francisco Grizzlies 16.13.109 lost to Anaheim Mighty Ducks 16.14.110
(Real: 1634 vs 1651)

A close contest to be sure - maybe my generosity got the better of me allowing Anaheim to loop in Callum Brown! Both sides certainly performed below expectations, with Dangerfield getting the Ducks home thanks to some very favourable Champion Data magic. The Heppell/McKenna/Hawkins/Miles revenge game definitely got to the home side's favour, with Heppell and McKenna combining for 208 points while Hawkins only managed 73 (would've been the second top score in my forward line) and Miles was out. Anaheim have shown the last two weeks they can grind out close wins, but they'll need to lift if they want to beat the top sides like Boston and New Brooklyn (see above).

Best
San Francisco: Heppell, Wines, Coniglio, Betts
Anaheim: Merrett, Dangerfield, Kennedy, Bellchambers, Hurley


Carolina Panthers 19.8.122 defeated Ottawa Otters 16.9.105
(Real: 1832 vs 1577)

Boom, a big warning shot to the rest of the competition that the 2017 premiers still mean business with a very nice score - considering they had scores of 19 and 21 in their backline! Their best list is intimidating, but they lacked the one or two mammoth scores that Grundy and Bont/Martin/Kelly/Shiel usually bring to the table. Ottawa meanwhile had that mammoth score in Treloar's 150, but their experimentation with Taranto and Marshall, among others, sharing the captaincy over the seasoned veterans did not pay off this week - after three straight tons, is Marshall mania over in Canada?

Best
Carolina: Henderson, Kelly, Shiel, Mihocek, Martin, Ellis-Yolman, Bontempelli, Atkins, Ryan, Roughead, Grundy
Ottawa: Treloar, Prestia, McEvoy, Cunnington


Wisconsin Cockerels 18.10.118 defeated Houston Bombers 17.10.112
(Real: 1774 vs 1676)

This game went about as most would have expected I suppose. Wisconsin weren't spectacular (see best list) but were remarkably consistent, with the only real blights Kennedy's 24, Cameron's 43 (who was only playing as Curnow was hurt) and Rowbottom's slow start to his career - their XVIII was also 80+ until you hit JJK. Houston ran out of players as Hill, Constable, and Langford had to be omitted from the XVIII and Phillips from the EMG meaning a list-dip was in order. The best on ground? Gawn and Walters scored highly...but I'd give it to big boy Matt Taberner, what a star.

Best
Wisconsin: Gawn, Taberner, Ablett, Daniel
Houston: Walters, Crisp, Murphy, Kreuzer, Sloane, Macmillan


Las Vegas Sinners 17.13.115 defeated Quito Quetzals 14.20.104
(Real: 1727 vs 1555)

The luck was present in Las Vegas this week that's for sure, as they host a Quito well down on their recent form despite Nat Fyfe for some reason being allowed to sit back and relax rather than play some footy - a tactical rest ahead of their next game? As the best lists suggest there wasn't much to write home about in this clash, with the X-Factor Brad Sheppard the pick of the bunch. The Sinners were actually pretty consistent across the board (impressively managing 115 with only two tons, and neither of those being 125+), while Quito did have a few poor scores in Aliir, Breust and Lynch while their CCs failed to fire, and their two tons were only 101 and 105. They'll need to lift to beat Houston next week, but at least that game will be back in Ecuador.

Best
Las Vegas: Sheppard, Lloyd
Quito: McCluggage, Worpel

Ugly but still a win! NBH on fiiiiiire.

Ha, consistency not a trademark of the Sinners!! so will take a win without the main mids going large!!
