WXV Round 8: Can London do it again?

[Nige]

Literally just picking whoever is named.  :(

hahahahaha welcome to our world

Sometimes we at least get to pick which order we want our emergencies (all defenders) in.  ;D

Literally just picking whoever is named.  :(

remember this when I  offer you stuff like Bruce + Walters for Someone.

Yeah, but you'll offer them for like Beams, Prestia, Smith and Breust just so you can have a laugh and play all 4 in your reserves.

[Memphistopheles]

All of a sudden, Durban's dominance doesn't seem so surprising haha

I usually just keep picking the players that got the highest most recent score if that helps Memph  :-X but I don't have nearly the same amount of options

We were doing that except our players seem to go: good score, bad score, good score, bad score.

Or maybe it's just when they are picked :P

Thought this was interesting...

Below, is the amount of senior WXV matches played by the XV each team named last week, or in other words, the total experience your team fielded last week:

Team   Total Matches
Dublin Destroyers    799
Mexico City Suns    724
Christchurch Saints    591
PNL Reindeers    589
Rio de Janeiro Jaguars    574
Moscow Spetsnaz    570
New York Revolution    561

Toronto Wolves    473
Cape Town Cobras    414
Cairo Sands    411
Beijing Thunder    409
Seoul Magpies    370
New Delhi Tigers    304
Buenos Aires Armadillos    290



It's actually a fairly close reflection on your team compared to the comp, which is pretty cool if you ask me.

Dublin with the most, which doesn't surprise. But to further my claim that Mexico City are the ones to topple them, is that the Suns have bucket loads of experience waiting to come in too!

This makes the Thunders' achievements this year even more impressive if you ask me ^^

[Toga]

Nice work Purps and Oz! Love it!

Don't mind being compared to GWS, it just means we're on our way 8) And love that stat Purps, I find that very impressive!

Will be a few selection headaches with Jaensch going out and Wines + Kreuz looking to come back in.

M: O.Wines (CC), L.Neale, T.Miller, L.Shiels

wow Purps must have been tedious to do that nice work

[roo boys!]

Don't mind seeing Toronto quite low on the experience charts as it means there's hopefully improvement in the squad to come :)

That said last week's side would have had to been the youngest I've played for a long time especially with Swallow rested and Smith pulling out late

[Purple 77]

wow Purps must have been tedious to do that nice work

Cheers kb!

The wonders of excel made it a 5 min process though haha

We don't believe in bottoming out at Christchurch. We're quite experienced but we're also getting some AFL experience into our young guys now, so they'll be ready when the older guys in the best XV move on.

From last year alone we've got Lever, McKenzie, Andrews, Langford and Vandenberg all getting games, and I expect Wigg to replace Jaensch in the Crow's line up. That's a bigger collection than any other team, including the so called rebuilding teams down the bottom end of the ladder.

Well when you draft 50 players from last year you'd expect a few to get a game

At Dublin we dont believe in bottoming out either, we will pick these guys up as they are just about to enter their prime. e.g. Mcdonald, Rance, Martin, Gray, Sloane, Boak, Walters, Goldy etc..
