i5s Week 18 (AFL Round 19)

[tbagrocks]

Sheesh, I suppose everyone's still talking about how the Irish took Josh P. Kennedy before Paddy Dangerfield right? ???  Not really sure myself  :P

Doesn't matter this week as the Texan is back with Brodie Smith and the Irish are set for glory 8)

[RaisyDaisy]

It's all falling apart. Absolutely dominated all  season, and am now getting hammered. Maric has turned into a spud and the others are well below their usual. Looking very grim now

I will forever be grateful ;D perhaps you were dreading having him when he was no longer a Crow

After Pies/Blues and Dogs/Power

Victoria 1/137 v Sri Lanka 0/0
Victoria starting strong

South Africa 0/0 v France 1/168
Swanny sets French hears on fire

Mexico 2/270 v India 0/0
BOOM Mexico City again out of the blocks quickly, but with Nic Nat out, can they keep it up?

Peru 3/208 v Ireland 3/294
SLOW start from Peru, with Ireland having the clear edge, miracles can still happen though.

Venezuela 3/216 v United Kingdom 2/234
Disaster for Venezuela, with the UK 16 points in front from one less player. Again, not over, but the UK tough to beat from here

thanks Boyd

[ADEZ]

First Nic Nat out, then Sinclair my emergency out as well :( I drafted Sinclair purely to cover games when Nic Nat missed

[ossie85]

After Sat Night

Victoria 2/253 v Sri Lanka 4/379
Sri Lanka missing Beams here - an awesome score on the cards with big centuries for 3 players, but O'Brien's score of 10 (who would've been Beams) really gives it advantage Victoria who have started strong

South Africa 2/188 v France 4/412
France looking strong here as South Africa have been subdued

Mexico 5/413 v India 0/0
Mexico only had 4 payers with both Nic Nat and Sinclair out, India yet to get on the board, but if the Indians are good enough, they'll break Mexico's epic streak

Peru 3/208 v Ireland 5/452
Peru needs 245 points from Armitage and Dempster - unlikely, but not impossible, as Ireland miss an opportunity to bury them

Venezuela 4/321 v United Kingdom 4/390
Venezuela needs Ward to outscore Heppell by 70 points for a win. Impossible? No. Probable? Also no.

3/369 catch me if you can... Oh wait flower Leppa

[tbagrocks]

Just need the Luck of the Irish now :P  we do need this win! Tex and Smithy just starting to find form again, need to scrape into the finals

[ossie85]

With just Saints/Dockers to go...

Victoria 5/516 v Sri Lanka 5/413
Victorians way too strong in the end, and perhaps Beams missing for Sri Lanka was the difference! Vics still in the hunt.

South Africa 5/425 v France 5/547
The French keep winning and are now winning impressively as the South Africans run of form ends.

Mexico 5/413 v India 2/254
You'd back India to upset Mexico from here

Peru 3/208 v Ireland 5/452
Peru needs 245 points from Armitage and Dempster - unlikely, but not impossible, as Ireland miss an opportunity to bury them

Venezuela 5/408 v United Kingdom 5/459
UK continue the pain for Venezuela

And finally...

Victoria 5/516 v Sri Lanka 5/413
Victorians way too strong in the end, and perhaps Beams missing for Sri Lanka was the difference! Vics still in the hunt.

South Africa 5/425 v France 5/547
The French keep winning and are now winning impressively as the South Africans run of form ends.

Mexico 5/413 v India 5/528
India well and truly in the race, has the Mexican bubble burst?

Peru 5/390 v Ireland 5/452
Peru would be disappointed with that

Venezuela 5/408 v United Kingdom 5/459
UK continue the pain for Venezuela

And the French are on top! Venezuela's 3rd loss in a row sees them slump to 3rd.

But how close is this? 2nd to 6th separated only by percentage!

Peru and South Africa are still chances, but Sri Lanka and the UK look out of it

[kilbluff1985]

loss of Zerrett really hurts Vics

[R.Griffen]

Sri Lanka only needing 113 from Beams. Knew throughout the year I couldn't cover injuries and suspensions. Got lucky with being able to cover Martin for 2 weeks. That is as far as my luck goes.
