Biggest round ever?
Quite possible!
NO RESTING. LAST CHANCE FOR FLOODING AND ATTACKING.
Partial Lockout for the Thursday Night game, full lock out Friday night.
Round 17 AFL Round 19 (partial lock-out)
Mexico City Suns v Cairo Sands Fireball Stadium AAP Alliance Premiership Match
Seoul Magpies v Tokyo Samurai Seoul World Cup Stadium Asian Premiership Match & Asian Cup
Wellington Warriors v New Delhi Tigers The Basin Reserve
Pacific Islanders v Dublin Destroyers Oakley Arena, Tonga
Cape Town Cobras v PNL Reindeers Newlands Cricket Ground
London Royals v Beijing Thunder London Olympic Stadium EurAsian Premiership Match
Toronto Wolves v New York Revolution Rogers Centre Americas Premiership Match
Sao Paulo Pumas v Buenos Aires Armadillos Estadio do Pumas Americas Premiership Match & Rhythm (South American Cup)
Moscow Spetsnaz v Berlin Brewers Luzhniki Stadium European Premiership Match
Mexico City Suns face off against the Cairo Sands. The Suns want a minor premiership, but more importantly, they don't want to face in Dublin in the first week of the finals. Meanwhile Cairo's top 8 chances rely on a win here and either Cape Town or Toronto losing
Seoul faces Tokyo in the Asian Cup, with Seoul holding a 2-0 lead. Playing for pride, and this cup, but unless Seoul beat Tokyo by 90 points, the Samurai will take home the Asian Premiership.
Wellington face off against the New Delhi, and will start strong favourites. The Tigers would love to get a 5th win, as that would should improvement on last year. The Warriors want to avoid a 2nd spoon in a row, and a win would guarantee it.
Pacific aren't going to win against a Dublin team whose eyes are on a different prize.
Cape Town can lose, and still make the finals, but would be relying on both Berlin and Cairo losing. Meanwhile PNL need this win, and hope Buenos Aires to beat Sao Paulo, to make the top 4.
London will be looking to finish the season on a high, while Beijing don't want to win the spoon.
New York and Toronto face off, and while New York are playing for pride and to keep out of the bottom 4, Toronto risk falling out of the 8 if they lose (and 2 of Cape Town, Cairo and Berlin win).
In the match of the Round, we have the 5th Rhythm Cup! With Sao Paulo leading Buenos Aires 4-0, but they've had so many epic encounters - including last year's after the siren Prelim Final. Buenos Aires have top 2 and minor premiership hopes on the line, a loss would likely see the Pumas miss the 4. Expecting some fireworks!
Berlin's finals hope hinge on beating Moscow, and hoping two of Cairo, Cape Town and Toronto lose. Moscow will finish either 5th or 6th.
Ladder:
Position Name Score Scored Against Wins Losses Percentage
1 Mexico City Suns 2430 2123 14 2 114.46
Technically the Suns can lose and stay 1st, or win and drop to 2nd! Such is the closeness of percentage.
In all likelihood, a loss to Cairo would see them at least drop to 2nd as Dublin will almost certainly beat Pacific. A win would secure top 2, and it would depend on the result of Buenos Aires and Sao Paulo.
2 Buenos Aires Armadillos 2355 2061 14 2 114.26
Buenos Aires could lose and regain 1st spot! But like Mexico City, Dublin would almost certainly takes it place if so. A win against Sao Paulo and it will come down to percentage with Mexico City v Cairo.
3 Dublin Destroyers 2488 2175 13 3 114.39
Can't finish lower than 3rd, and will finish top 2 if they beat Pacific (which is gonna happen), and if either Mexico City or Buenos Aires lose. They'll finish first if both happens.
4 Sao Paulo Pumas 2402 2157 11 5 111.36
Can't finish higher than 4th, and need a win against Buenos Aires to secure it. A loss, and they need to rely PNL losing to Cape Town to stay in the top 4.
5 Paris Nice Lyon Reindeers 2271 2211 11 5 102.71
Can finish as high as 4th or as low as 6th, which is great for PNL really! A win would secure 5th at least, and 4th if the Pumas lose to the Armadillos. A loss and they could slip to 6th if Moscow beat Berlin.
6 Moscow Spetsnaz 2252 2108 10 6 106.83
Can finish as high as 5th if they win PNL lose to Cape Town, and can't finish lower than 6th. Home elimination final secure.
7 Toronto Wolves 2181 2171 9 7 100.46
Can't finish higher than 7th, but could amazingly slip to 10th if all of Cape Town, Cairo and Berlin win and they lose to New York.
8 Cape Town Cobras 2154 2157 9 7 99.86
A win secures a finals place that looked unlikely 2 weeks ago. Can finish as high as 7th if they win and Toronto loses. Could finish as low as 10th with a loss if Cairo or Berlin win.
9 Cairo Sands 2303 2179 8 8 105.69
Cairo's destiny is in the hands of others. One thing for sure is that they need to beat Mexico City to make the finals, and hope that either Toronto or Cape Town lose. Can finish as high as 7th and as low as 10th.
10 Berlin Brewers 2171 2157 8 8 100.65
Berlin's finals chances are the most remote. With Berlin first needing to beat Moscow, and hoping that 2 of Cairo, Cape Town and Toronto lose. Could theoretically finish as high as 7th, but no lower than 10th.
11 London Royals 2043 2133 7 9 95.78
London's finals hopes are lose, and can't finish higher than 11th. A loss to Beijing and they will drop to 12th with Seoul and Tokyo playing each other (assuming they don't draw).
12 Seoul Magpies 2154 2204 6 10 97.73
Can finish has high as 11th if Beijing beat London and they beat Tokyo, or 13th if they lose to Tokyo.
13 Tokyo Samurai 2163 2248 6 10 96.22
Can finish has high as 11th if Beijing beat London and they beat Seoul, or 13th if they lose to Seoul.
14 New York Revolution 2025 2162 5 11 93.66
Can't finish higher than 14th, but could slip to 15th if they lose to Toronto and New Delhi defeat Wellington.
15 New Delhi Tigers 1838 2212 4 12 83.09
New Delhi can finish as high as 14th if they beat Wellington and New York lose to Toronto. Amazingly could still win the spoon, if they lose and Pacific and Beijing win.
16 Wellington Warriors 1979 2207 3 13 89.67
Will finish 15th if they defeat New Delhi (unless Pacific or Beijing thrash their opponents), and could finish last if they lose to New Delhi and if Pacific and Beijing win or gain enough percentage on them.
17 Pacific Islanders 1933 2200 3 13 87.86
Will finish 16th if Pacific upset Dublin, assuming Beijing don't also win and gain percentage on them. Could finish last with a loss to Dublin, regardless of how Beijing go, depending on percentages.
18 Beijing Thunder 1918 2195 3 13 87.38
Could finish as high as 16th with a win (or even a loss depending on other results!), a loss and they could still avoid the wooden spoon with Dublin likely to smash the Pacific.
Wowee. Huge round! Amazing how the 8 still isn't set.
I'm going to pray so hard that we beat Mexico, I don't want to have to rely on other results going our way if we lose. :(
Surprised Pumas Vs Dillos is the match of the round, when the Dillos are unable to even beat the Pumas when given the chance in the past :P.

Well, the odds are pretty stacked against us...
We've shown we can score well, we just need everybody to turn up to play and pump out a great team score.
5th on points but sitting in 9th due to our inconsistent scoring.
Might cry if we don't make finals. :P

Good to be able to field a full team this week (hoping Grundy is named...) But it beats the 14 we had last week at any rate 8) Have decided to go with our first Co-C's of the season with the in-form Harry Taylor and Liam Shiels being promoted in place of Wines who historically has struggled against the Swans. Hoping we can put up a good fight to finish the season!
Damn, Pav subbed... but at half time. That means Mexico's sub rule comes into play and they get Waite's score.
Waite, pls stop now. You too Sandi and Yaz. >:(

Very good point...I think we render his account invalid and strip Moscow of 10 premiership points for associating with this impostor!

Naming it now to lock in Carrots and Rowe as I might be out at the bounce when Freo/Blues players are locked.

Hate to do this Nige, but the editing stamp was AFTER lockout. I can't except Carrazzo, Rowe or the sub rule in your team. Need to name a new team without any Carlton and Freo players. Carrazzo sucks, but Rowe evens it out :(

Just remember the FF clock is out if it has not been changed by Nigey to reflect real time. current real time is 10.51 but FF clock shows shows 11.02 so 11 minutes out. Has been that way all season but i have been too lazy to correct.

If Ossie has adjusted his clock he gets the right time. It doesn't matter what other users have their clocks at all times are based on YOUR settings.
Regardless Nigey was like an hour late with his editing and not a clock issue. It's sad for Nige but I don't think he was aware of the rule? #lazynige
To be honest I wouldn't care if ossie let him slide but "rules is rules"

You can adjust it to be the correct time. If you change it so it says -0.22 then it gets the time as close as you can get it to the proper time. (Off by about a minute)

Sorry, they were locked in before the game. The recent edit was to put McGovern at F4 for Knights.
I posted the full team at the time of the actual post in the threadand made the McGovern edit during the game.
No reason to doubt it Nige, but no evidence of it unfortunately. If let it pass basically means I need to allow everyone to do it
Could work out good for you weirdly
flower it, I don't care anyway. We were never gonna win and those left aren't good scorers, so really the only good to come of this is for Mexico who will get a percentage boost and maybe for Berlin if they win.
On my phone so I'll make whatever changes I have to when I get home in two hours... not that they matter.

Jeremy Howe is averaging 83, 91 in his last 5 games
Bontempelli has averaged 99 in his last 6 games
Hurley is averaging 77
Cunningham is averaging 57, or Martin is averaging 38
Thomas is averaging 69
Grigg is averaging 51
You are omitting 114 points in average, by not selecting Bontempelli, Howe and Hurley and selecting Martin, Grigg and Thomas.
I just got a little confused when you didn't loophole Bontempelli against me last week, hence why I'm paying attention now. What's going on?

That is a tad suss.
Hurley's often been an emg for them this year, but the recent form of Howe and Bontempelli who have both been in their team and doing well in recent weeks has me baffled as to how they're not in the team for what is a rather important game.

Wh-what? No lids?
Maybe he just forgot him... I didn't have my list on me when I named my team and almost forgot to name Crouch, so I guess it happens.
I hope he just forgot him.
Should things just revert back to preferences when this happens? I think pot named Foley twice, one of them obviously was meant to be Deledio... I hope anyway..

Hi Pot, as others have said, named Foley twice. Mzungu was locked in on the interchange but isn't named here, so your interchance will be Mzungu and Ellis.

I do have to wonder.
Jeremy Howe is averaging 83, 91 in his last 5 games
Bontempelli has averaged 99 in his last 6 games
Hurley is averaging 77
Cunningham is averaging 57, or Martin is averaging 38
Thomas is averaging 69
Grigg is averaging 51
You are omitting 114 points in average, by not selecting Bontempelli, Howe and Hurley and selecting Martin, Grigg and Thomas.
I just got a little confused when you didn't loophole Bontempelli against me last week, hence why I'm paying attention now. What's going on?

Now again, that's most likely not right, but thank god for OOP, New York's two OOP forwards have both gone very big, if they had scored their full scores then I'd be in a real spot of bother. As it sits now the game is very evenly poised, Pendles vs Libba should decide it.
Pendles (x2), Maguire, Pedersen, White and Spangher left to play

Libba (x1.5), Macrae, Gibson, Cloke + 38

So it seems obvious to everyone that Pacific were tanking to try and drop their percentage down enough to get the number 1 pick. But what I don't understand is surely even naming their best team they would still get it. The percentages are so close between them and Beijing, whilst Pacific have to play Dublin this round and Beijing play London. Dublin should give Pacific a big enough beating anyway to get the number 1 pick without having to resort to tanking... :-X
Does anyone actually think tbag is good enough to tank at XVs?
I honestly think he was just naming what he thought was best XV.

How do you explain Bontempelli going from co-captain to an emergency that could have been loopholed against a struggling Berlin (which Purps will admit to)?
Their best team clearly isn't being fielded though, the chances are that the 'best' team probably would score better than the team will this week which is pretty poor on their part imo.

Well yeah, that's the thing... In the average week you would think Dublin would beat Pacific by a fair bit more than London would beat us, so it would've been fairly likely they would have finished bottom regardless... Seems like naming a team like they did is a pretty silly thing to do given the circumstances.
Yea but then you gotta think how long the tanking has gone on for, probably isnt just this week if Hurley isnt a regular in their team. Off with there heads and take their first rounder off them!
Two small forwards against Port (Blair and Elliot) as co-captains too.

I know that's what I'm getting at Nige. They're not playing their best team, but even if they played their best team this week against Dubin they would still get thumped by enough to give them last spot if you go by the average scores each week.
Pacific were always going to be belted by Dublin so why did Pacific make it so blatantly obvious that they wanted to lose by as much as possible. It is pretty clear what Pacific are doing this week.
Even if it wasn't tanking, then it would be poor coaching. Either way you look at it, it doesn't look good.

Thunder still a chance!
Toronto Wolves 10/844 v New York Revolution 11/883#
Wolves lucky about the OOP players...
Sao Paulo Pumas 9/872* v Buenos Aires Armadillos 8/786*

Moscow Spetsnaz* 10/1048 v Berlin Brewers 9/973*

I disagree, we all leave a forgotten player out once, Howe was simply not added to the team. Hurley battling against other good forwards and please, Bonti is a ten game player
So explain the co captain choices?
This thread should be locked because it is degrading Pacific Islanders and its two coaches and it will continue to do so in future. Considering threads in this forums get deleted for degrading people that won't even see them, I think one that degrades actual members should be deleted.
And the fact that he was a co-captain the other week and also cunningham is named before him who averages 50 .
Howe...

Howe played last week though?
Bontempelli going down to Tassie to play Hawthorn.. Tough ask for a 10-gamer.
As for co-captains look at our list. We have Redden injured and Tmitch not getting a game. Tell me if you see a clear choice for captaincy. Elliot and Blair are 2 of 3 guys we have named averaging over 74, yet we're getting investigated for co-captaining them? Didn't trust Gibson up against Geelon and he only scored 75 so I think we made an okay decision.
We can't all have a perfect week at the selection table.

That's right and he was forgotten when teams were named this week, what's so wrong with forgetting a player?
No I will not explain the Co-Captains, nothing wrong with the players selected
Bonti is a
ten game 18yr old, we thought the more mature Cunningham might perform better several years into his career
And Howe? And Hurley?

You made Bontempelli co-captain in his 8th game though. ???
And cant use playing hawks as an excuse, they leak points to midfielders every week.
Ease up guys, let's keep it constructive.
The Table below shows each Pacific player, how many AFL games played, how many WXV games played and the average of that player this year.
Please note we have had 1 more AFL game than WXV. Also note that the Islanders have been RAVAGED by injury. This does not include this round.
The biggest questions are why Michael Hurley and Marcus Bontempelli have been consistently overlooked (Hurley statistically the 3rd best forward but has only made it on the park 3 times). Also how Jack Martin keeps getting selected with an average of 37, who is only a 6 gamer 18year old and Harry Cunningham, also young with an average of 56.56 gets selected a fair bit.
Absolutely no problem with co-captains, they don't have anybody to choose from really with Redden out.

Look, while I can't 100% rule it out that tanking happened, I'm willing to say that it is poor coaching, and not a desire to tank, that's the problem here.
Jay/tbag - next year will be looked at closely, really. Forgetting a key player like Howe is not something all coaches do, not paying attention to take advantage of loop holes, sub rules, flooding and attacking also can only be described as poor coaching.
So I'm not saying you are tanking, but you guys need to lift your game a bit.
Master Q/Toga - a bit sympathy is required. You guys almost got done for this last year.
Some action should be taken surely. At the least shuffle them down a few draft picks?
Will set an example for future tanking.
Seoul have had no chance of finals the last two weeks so we could of gone for a pick but no we pumped our two closet opponents for picks ;)
Oh yeah we get Broughtons score for Mitchell not a bad result :)

For poor coaching?
It's a slippery slope. Some games have been lost because coaches have forgotten to name a team or activated a rule when they should have (I think Seoul lost a game because they forgot the sub rule once, shouldn't mean I move the Magpies down a few draft picks).
But, if people feel really strongly about it, send me a PM :/
Having a player score 111 as your CC then dropping him the next week isnt poor coaching its tanking.

I demand some action from these type of comments!
It'd called bullying and it is not acceptable
Woodward not sub! :o
Was very close to naming him after last week's effort (after taking off the green vest) and this week's Carlton players debacle.

So how about action gets taken against teams that traded poorly last off-season while we're at it?

Well you are the team that is going to win the spoon, so sure.
The reason many of the "New rules" have not been implicated is because with such a young and low team, really there is no reason in weekening a certain area of the team weekly like "Resting" Or Flooding as an example, why would we rest any player? ??? We prefer the honest way ;)
Can't help but recall the trade where Pacific traded Rockliff (who is averaging 128 - you'd think he'd be perma-captain for them). If they hadn't made that trade, I daresay they'd be in a better position than they are now (mainly thanks to Rocky and his freakishness).
They got Redden (just averaging over 100), Hurley (who they've played 3 times despite being their 6th best player) and Sam Day (played every game but only 6 for Pacific).
Our forward line is pretty beastly though with Elliot, Blair, Howe, L Thomas and a guy I like the look of who scores well A Tomlinson, Hurley, Terry Milera who played a few good games once he came back, Day and with the injuries and subsequent SUB prone Matt De Boer. The forward line is a hard gig to break into at the PI. Hurley has taken a while to even get enough footy this year and had fallen out of favour
So if Howe is keeping Hurley out of the team, why aren't either of them playing? ???

Don't blame the trade (Not my idea but) but you lot vote and veto a lot of trades and that was the one that was allowed to pass, blame yourselves ;)

You can always attack which allows you to play one more forward... some of those guys have hardly played anyway.
How does Howe v Brisbane not even crack an EMG gig against Tomlinson who starts playing a semi-decent team in Richmond. Hurley could have been included on the UT/INT over someone like Grigg at least... and no sub rule either which means you'll get Grigg's score ::)

I stay out of these discussions for a reason. But this point, if you didn't want the trade passed, why do it to begin with? ??? Can't blame other coaches for passing it if you guys were HAPPY enough to agree to the trade. Seeing as you two are Co-Coaches, both you guys have to be happy with the trade, if one of you aren't, then down to miscommunication...

Meanwhile, some interesting scores from the Lions/Demons match :P
Guys, I'm cutting it here. Any other mention of tanking in this thread will be deleted. Anybody want to take matter further, PM Ossie. We've kinda started to go downhill with the comments steering more personal and attacking.
Now back into the final round.... I can't even find the post where Cape Town named their team, so can't even see the players to not cheer for :(.

Pretty good effort in the end actually and I daresay we're going to post a good score that would beat quite a few teams but there isn't much we can do when Mexico's worst score is 79 and they have HGA on top of that. :'(
Maybe Steele's score can count for Beijing instead of Mexico since they only have 14 players. :P

Oh well, we'll be back next year. :P
My pre scaling calculations have me winning on HGA...very uncomfortable way to qualify for the finals, but as long as I'm there I'm confident toronto can do some damage.

Wow what a week, hopefully we can continue this form into finals.
But Nige, your side put up a good fight it's just unfortunate you ran into our boys this week.
Just one of a series of unfortunate events throughout the year for us haha.
Well played.

London can breathe a sigh of relief as they get a win to end a season (if they had upset Sao Paulo last week, they'd be playing finals).
Beijing so close, but with only 14 fit men, are probably glad the season is over.

Too bad you won't have the same luxury next season after you axe most of your depth in the off-season. :P
4 and 5 for the Pumas
Sao Paulo win a top 4 spot for the 3rd year running, and go 5 from 5 in the Rhythm Cup.

Very unlucky AK you truly deserved the win this week mate, losing over 100 points to OOP and then HGA pipping you at the post.
Good to see the reserves also stumble over the line to secure a top 4 spot.
Revenge for Moscow, Heartbreak for Brewers
Moscow got revenge on Berlin for knocking them out of the finals last year, as Berlin's lack of depth showed despite Fyfe heroics.
Had this game been played in Germany, they would have won.

We had some hiccups early, but made the comeback and got it due to percentage ;). But that percentage gap :P.
Yeah, doubt we can replicate it next season unless we somehow manage to grab more depth during this off season who play more next season.
so glad the seasons over bring on next year
Suck it Dillos! :P
Also ossie you've given me a score for Josh Hall again, when it is actually Aaron Hall playing. Josh hasn't played (and won't play) this season :)
QuoteAnything's a dildo if you're brave enough
Well the Dildos just weren't flowering brave enough this week.
100 average premiums turning to 50 average players last 10 weeks. It has been flowering sickening. We'll be out in straight sets.

All good, we just need 2 or 3 more forwards who play each week and we would have a decent team capable of playing finals. Well 2015 awaits.
Bwt Oss, hope it's just a typo in the reserves for us as we have Marley Williams and not Zac, just incase :).

So because of Friday commitments I wasn't around for the naming of final teams so it turns out none of Grundy, Kennedy or Jones were named... What happens in this situation? :-X
#tanking
:P
Haha you would! Get the banter flowing! ;)
Congrats Pacific...
Justice served cold for loopholing :P
And if only this were in r1, our reserves would have had infinite % :o
European champs :D
And sorry for knocking yous out of the finals haha, I told the guys to go easy but they mustn't have heard

Leaving out Bontempelli doesn't seem so bad now. Only 57 for the kid today :-X
Noooooooooooo, from a ten game first year 18yr old? :o
Don't think the cheekiness of this is going to do you guys any favours. The fact remains you've got nearly 250 from Hurley and Howe out of your side when it really should be in it.
Just no, Hurley Hardly makes his way into our starting line and Howe was a mistake, deal with it
Also, get stuffed Q!
Fixed both
Also, should mention Lenny Hayes heroics efforts in his last game ever for Wellington

How does Hurley hardly make his way into your starting side, when ossie has given stats that he is your 6th highest averaging player for the year? He should be firmly entrenched in your side!
Cunningham makes averaging 56. Hurleys lowest score for the year is 57.

I typed something very similar and then got that warning for new posts. :P
I think the fact that Pacific refuse to name one of their statistically best players speaks volumes about the coaches. :-X
Can we stop with the attacks please? We've spoken to Oss, and the matter has been resolved. No need to keep harping on about it.
Cape Town prove all the doubters wrong and make the eight! Could be time to dig up a certain predictions thread I feel...
Albeit with a pretty disappointing loss, but still a solid score that'll hopefully improve next week against the same opposition.

forget your laptop ::) when I saw him earlier he wasn't as good as the guys that have been named, neither were his stats
As said before, get stuffed Q, nobody asked you. Who else wants to keep trolling?
Hahahaha this has been a good read. Nerds everywhere, hey tbag? ;)
