Dochers doubled robbed tonight - in the coaches award (how does a 79 average beat a 109 average so comprehensively? Damn ABMs), and missed out on 6th because he draw with Merrett in one game :/


(And yes, I did completely forget about this all night)

Introducing... the All-Worlds team of 2016! Congratulations to all players selected!

D: Sam Docherty (Moscow), Heath Shaw (Mexico City), Kade Simpson (Mexico City), Matthew Boyd (Christchurch)
M: Patrick Dangerfield (Seoul), Scott Pendlebury (Buenos Aires), Josh P Kennedy (Cape Town), Lachie Neale (Beijing)
R: Max Gawn (Berlin)
F: Dayne Zorko (Beijing), Zachary Merrett (PNL), Dustin Martin (Dublin), Nick Riewoldt (Mexico City)
U: Joel Selwood (Dublin), Daniel Hannebery (London)

CAPTAIN: Patrick Dangerfield (Seoul)
VICE CAPTAIN: Max Gawn (Berlin)
COACH: Winner of the WXV 2016 Premiership

From that team, Gary Ablett is HUGELY unlucky to miss out - had a great season average. Reckon Todd Goldstein and Daniel Wells can feel a bit aggrieved also...

First timers in the team number 7, and they are breakout players Sam Docherty, Lachie Neale, Zack Merrett and Max Gawn (who was named Vice-Captain in an amazing year). Veterans Matty Boyd and Kade Simpson got good rewards for great careers, and Dayne Zorko also got his first nod.

Making the team a second time are JP Kennedy (2014) who was reward for another consistent season, veteran Nick Riewoldt (2013) and star Royal Dan Hannebery (2015).

Third timers include Heath Shaw (2012, 2015) who had an outstanding season, young Superstar Dustin Martin (2013, 2015) and champion Joel Selwood (2012, 2013).

Patrick Dangerfield was named Captain, and has made the team 5 out of 5 times. Scott Pendlebury, Mr. Consistent, makes the team for an incredible 5th time also.

Players that missed out from last years team were Shaun Higgins, Luke Hodge, Liam Picken, Nat Fyfe, Todd Goldstein, Brett Deledio, Robbie Gray, Dane Swan, David Mundy and Matt Priddis. With Shaw, Dangerfield, Pendlebury, Martin and Hannebery the only players keeping spots.

3rd placed on H&A ladder and beaten Prelim Finalist Mexico City had the most representatives with 3, followed by Minor Premier Dublin with 2 and bottom 10 team Beijing also with 2.

Amazingly, this years Grand Finalists Rio de Janeiro and New Delhi had 0 players in the team. Ablett the big missing player in the team (but won't be playing in the GF anyway), while New Delhi didn't even have a member in the squad. Actually, 8 of the 15 players in the team came from bottom 10 teams.

Mexico City - 3
Dublin - 2
Beijing - 2
Berlin - 1
Buenos Aires - 1
Cape Town - 1
Christcurch - 1
London - 1
Moscow - 1
PNL - 1
Seoul - 1


And minor correction - the coach of the team is the same as the coach of the year - so regardless of this weekends result, Ricochet and elephants are the All-Worlds coaches.

Didn't go unnoticed :'(

Nice work to Danger - was it ever in doubt?

Happy with Neale and Zorko's efforts in making the All-Worlds team, while Neale and Callan Ward put in a good showing in the votes as well.

Awesome work Lev!

presenting more fun facts from WXV history in trading

after the 2012 season the trade period got underway with the negging rule in place

121 total trades passed
9 total were negged

Moscow raced to be the first team to 20 trades notching that up with trade #116
but it was Cairo who actually done the most overtaking moscow and finishing with 25 trades to 22
the only two teams to go past the 20 mark

Buenos Aires were slow starters taking until trade #24 before being involved in their first passing trade

ionly 3 teams stayed under the double figure mark of 10 they were
Sao Paulo 9, PNL 7, Cape Town 5

while mexico had the most negged with 4 closely followed by New Delhi with 3

in trade period 2 only 2 trades were done
involving Cairo yet again, Bublin, Cape Town and Seoul

[MajorLazer]

We win the stats that count. God we're amazing.
