WXV Preliminary Finals: Destroyers v Reindeers, Saints v Suns

[Purple 77]

Team submission stuff:

@Tokyo, you forgot to name emergencies. I'm happy enough to name the first three players on your reserves list you provided. You can discuss with me if you wanted, though.

I agree with Beijing's team. Had to look twice to make sure Matt Jones deserved his unofficial debut, but unfortunately it looks like it  :-\

@London, below is the team I named for you (emergencies last 3 players), feel free to discuss if you disagree.

Dane Rampe
Sam Wright
Mark Baguley
Zach Tuohy
Dan Hannebery
Brent Stanton
Jarrad McVeigh
Danyle Pearce
Callum Sinclair
Mark LeCras
Josh Hill
Chris Mayne
Shane Edwards
Bradley Sheppard
Billy Hartung

Tom Lonergan
Cory Gregson
Kyle Hartigan

[Purple 77]

After last night:

Dublin off to a shaky start! While PNL would give passing marks to Enright & Williams. The Reindeers may have been a victim of the sub rule though, with Swan's 83 subbed out, and likey to be more than what Farren Ray will score as his replacement.

The Suns would be stoked with Sidebottom! Not so much with Bartel, but overall it was a successful night from the warriors of Fireball stadium. The Saints would be reasonably happy with up-and-down scorer Jamie Elliott posting a solid 89 too.

Reserves

Marseille (130/2) v Shanghai (0/0)

Yuzawa (0/0) v Imperial (106/2)

[Boomz]

No problem purps just go with first 3 or whatevers fair.

[Hellopplz]

MARSEILLES! Shame Swan got 83 but subbed out. Imagine if Dublin's Selwood didn't take him out? :'(

We do whats needed to get the W.

That should be hga so 102/1 is a ok start

[Holz]

My hawk boys doing a great job as usual.

Sad to see my boy Rocky going soo well (as expected), however i cant feel too bad as Gunston has been huge for me this year, on his way to another good game.


About to go watch Goldy play, if he turns it on I should be looking real good. If he has a bad game im in trouble.

[Memphistopheles]

Poor scores from Dusty, Boak and Dal Santo and not a great score from Goldy.

Could Dublin have met their match?

It could come down to how Priddis goes tomorrow against the Crows who have been giving up big scores to midfielders lately.

Carn' PNL...

Did I not say I would probably not win this year.

Im  clearly the best team, but its fantasy the best team doesnt always win.

[Hellopplz]

Haha, we've had a hand full of down performances, so would need like 200 from Pridda to help out :P.

Given Port boys did solid (Lobbe actually got 78 <3 ) but lesser names held back like Watson and Rich (but can't blame Watson or Rich as their teams got smashed :-X ).

[Hellopplz]

Murphy 75 Rance 109 Birchall 90 Tmac
Sloane (VC) Selwood 51 Mundy Boak 78
Goldy (C) 204
Buddy Gunston 149 Roughy 98 Martin 51
NDS Thompson

Walters, Hansen 35, Van Berlo

Score: 905/9 with C played. 956 with HGA.

Parisian Nice Lyon Reindeers

D: C. Enright 73, M. Williams 83, N.Malceski 108, M. Watson 42
M: M. Priddis (CC), N. Jones, D. Rich 58, T. Sheridan
R: M. Lobbe 78
F: C. Wingard (CC) 156, J. Westhoff 104, C. Rioli 100, T. Lynch
I:  D.Swan 83 (Subbed), J. Laverde 59

E: F. Ray, J. Griffin, L. McPharlin

Score: 861/10 with one CC to come.

Behind 100 points or so with 1 less player to play. Forward line is saving us while we had some downers to pretty much equal Dublin's. Would be in with a better chance if it wasn't for Gunston.

[Nige]

Give PNL the win anyway for even dreaming the idea of playing Matthew Watson of all players in a prelim final.

Hey he started well for the Blues until GWS went on to dominate the second half of the game :-X.

When we miss like 1/3 of our normal starting team (Hodge, Harbrow, Shiel, Zerrett, Billings and arguably Myers/Hallahan), why the hell not take some risks as not much to lose? ;D

[Holz]

I tell you this, if we lose you wouldnt want to be in the rooms listening to the coach spray.

Martin Selwood Boak Murphy should go 400+ easy not barely 250.

[Holz]

this game will decide it i think

Pridda (C) + Lynch

v

Sloane Thompson

its 12*2 + 44 = 68

v

32 + 22 = 54

i reckon im getting robbed with my two combining for 80 DT  and barely 50 SC.

Mostly your players score a lot more SC than DT (Goldy, Rance, Tmac, Mundy, Boak etc) . So this is a refreshing change.

You're really putting me off with all your self-deprecating comments Holz.

That's why I'll never support Dublin.
