Round 12 Thread - randomised fixture time!

[powersuperkents]

Hows that for luck? Playing third while top plays 9th.

We have Santiago and Brooklyn the next two weeks too, while y'all have Quito and Colorado haha

I assure you tho, it's completely random. I wouldn't jeopardise the competition's fairness in order to come top (and look like an idiot when I get blown out in the finals).

And when I did it, Santiago were top four fancies and Brooklyn looking at finals.

Bullshower

Everyone had Brooklyn tipped for the Spoon because of FS' shower trading habits.

This is a dodgy fixture. I hope Boston or Houston take out the premiership because Jukes is acting in a McGuireesque at this point (i.e. only the best for San Francisco/Collingwood, even if it has to come at the expense of the rest of the competition).

I thought rivalry round was suppose to be based on rivalries (i.e. games that would be close), not 6 floggings...

Brooklyn looking at finals??  :o :o :o :o

Had 4 'premiums' to my name when I took over the team, Jacobs, Goddard, Houli and Gibb (Not really considered a prem).

I wouldn't consider Gibbs a premium either (more 'an every second year premium'  :P - another example of poor drafting by FS who overlooked JoM, OLLIE WINES!!!, DevSmith, Bellis, Jack Steven - who was my initial target after Ellis went, & Goldstein (if he was rebuilding Goldstein is better than Gibbs and around the same age).

@Jukes, When Pk took over the team he even announced that rebuilding was the first item on his agenda. How could you assume he was "pushing for finals" based on that.

Jukes is so scared of Ele hahahahaha  :P

"San Francisco Grizzlies   10   1   1315   1229   107.00
Boston Terriers   9   2   1352   1243   108.77"

Seriously, who doesn't want to see these two teams fight it out for the minor premiership in Round 15?

Literally as 'rivalry' as a rivalry round can be

[elephants]

Haha I'm glad someone else noticed :p

[Pkbaldy]

Hence why I traded the spud. Goddard only has 2 years of relevance left, so not important to me. And Gibbs is horrid, Crouch will probably end up better than him in a year or 2. And Blicavs is Mid/Ruck freak, and I needed a back up ruck so it's a win for me haha.

Gibbs seems to be too busy talking shower on twitter instead of focusing on his own game.

But I'll be hoping to make 1 or 2 more mid premos through trading. Hopefully someone wants Nat #1, because I've got that many young kids I don't really need the top pick. 

[Jukes]

First, I couldn't be bothered getting everybody to pair up as rivals because, knowing you guys, it'd take forever - not just setting it up, but also having everybody confirm shower. I'll make a thread for it now, and if we can get it done before the end of round 14 I'll take it as canon but if not we have the randomised fixture to fall back on.

Second, I ain't changing the random fixture prior to "rivalry" round. It's random - meaning made, done, or happening without method or conscious decision.

And I must have mixed up Brooklyn with another side, my bad.

Fourth and final (I think), I give my PERSONAL GUARANTEE that if/when we play Boston again this season, I will WHOOP THEIR ASSES and ABSOLUTELY WIPE THE FLOOR WITH THEM, and when we do, y'all (well, most of you) can eat my shorts

[elephants]

Haha that seems like a strange thing to personally guarantee ;)

never again Dixon

need Hannebery to step up

[powersuperkents]

I know how it feels man

I had Sexton (played full game) on 8 and Lobbe (subbed out due to a horrific performance) on 22  :-[

To make things worse, Mackay (my sub) only scored 41  :-\

These dud performances are really holding the better players back, I'm happy because it's the only time this season I've had 3 players score +150 (if not only time ever)

Same thoughts about Sexton, Aaron Hall, and Suban

Hopefully, Suban manages a decent score  :-\

With Dixon it's a 50/50 shot (either he fires and Lynch dives, or vice versa)
