WXV Round 3: The Rise of Beijing and Pacific

[Memphistopheles]

Cobras in disarray. Opposition sides seem to lift against us.

On the plus side though - Mark Blicavs of all people wins his way in to the Team of the Week as the ruckman!

Trading him for Nathan Vardy is looking like a bargain now!

Not to mention Darcy Lang who we also acquired in that trade getting a bit of solid game time

I must say our dealings with New York in the last trade period seem very beneficial.

Over two trades we gave them Nathan Vardy, Jamie Bennell and Nat Pick 41 and got in return Blicavs, Lang, Schofield and Colledge (Just come off two 35+ possession games in the WAFL).

My tips:

Round 1: 4/9
Round 2: 7/9

Tokyo to get on a "winning streak" against Buenos Aires. That's not all that common for them
As predicted

Christchurch over Moscow. Not confident in this one at all
Stronger win than I thought

Hanners and McVeigh to inspire a London victory over Cape Town
Called it.

Mexico City over a fast improving Beijing
Nope. But I doubt anybody would've predicted that final day!

Dublin by 10 goals minimum against New Dehli
Underestimated the Destroyers

Cairo to recover with stirring win over Pacific
Nope. The Africonia Cup slipping away again from Cairo....

PNL over Toronto, with Pendles under a cloud
Pendles played! I call a mulligan.

New York to go 3-0 over Ablett-less Rio still searching for first ever win
Nope.

Berlin over Seoul, not hugely confident
Berlin with the win, I'm claiming it.


A poor 5/9

Glad they helped out :)

Make no difference to us because none of them, or none of who we gained are Best 20, let alone 15

We're all about making the comp better ;) :P

Very early days to be claiming trades were convincingly won/lost haha

I think Its safe to say PNL did wrll off swan deal.

Exactly, I'm still waiting as I think its simply too early to declare my Harper for Lewis trade in 2012 was a loss, Harper has plenty of time to come good :P

hodge deal hasn't been to bad either
but that benefited both teams well

I think Gibbs and Sandi are slightly ahead of Rocky at this point.
