what a terrible week Rance 44 Bruce 49 Gunston 22!!! Roughy 68 boak 81 Selwood 89.

certainly room for improvement though.

Reindeers entering beast mode 8). Even with some down performers myself, but can't really be that disappointed, awesome performance by my guys :).

And surely Grant should be starting now! First missing out the match he could have helped win against Moscow and now helping match it with a top Cairo midfielder. Got to support the guy as he's always had talent, just needs consistently + find a spot he's comfortable in at the Doggies.

Samurai Slice-up Jaguars

Rio continue their up-and-down year, and it continues to cost them dearly by losing matches like this one. They would give anything for a certain Gary Ablett to slot back in and give them some stability. Meanwhile, this was a crucial win for Tokyo, who keep their finals hopes alive.

Good win with a ton of centurions and an oop ruck that failed big time  :-X Now just need to figure out my ruck situation and pick the right guys each week...

[Toga]

Not a bad score from our boys this week, a bunch of really good scores but not consistent enough to get us over the line.

No idea how we got the win with all the carnage we have copped

Duncan is hoping to be back in 4 so if we can get him prior to finals (and if we can make finals from here) that will be a big boost. Finally got Rosa back, and surely Bennell isn't too far off? Besides Libba, Fisher and Duff would be the others, but Duff isn't injured, has just dramatically fallen out of favour and touch
