Cairo and Seoul gauging each other at the moment in an intriguing start.

Awful start for Christchurch with only Boyd adding respectability to the scoreboard.

Dublin off to an absolute stinker. World idol elimination on the cards?

London is trying, but the Suns are succeeding early.

New York v Beijing is intriguing, as is PNL v New Delhi.

Dublin off to an absolute stinker. World idol elimination on the cards?

geez that harsh im still got lots of guns to come

gunny birchall on 110 combined towards the end of the second.

Buddy (rested) v lions

Selwood ,dmart, treloar can all go big.

The game isnt even over.

[meow meow]

I don't think Dublin are in any danger of being eliminated in World Idol when Christchurch are still one of the teams that are able to be eliminated this week. Jeffy with 32 won't even be our HGA!

[Levi434]

Andrew Mackie late out means everyone's man Benny Jacobs come onto the field. 8)

Both happy and unhappy at the same time.

[Nige]

I hope Ben Stratton enjoys playing midfield, Kamdyn's a late out.  :'(

Quite a few "big" teams pulling in shockers early this season :o. I know that feel Meowtwo after last week :P.

Shiel was able to match Conigs basically so that's handy. Zac also put in a solid effort of 105 against his former team 8). Tomorrow we'll see how Rich stacks up in his first match against us >:D.

[Boomz]

Dammit why did I put Young as a forward :( going well at least... Willis on debuting is killing me.

[RaisyDaisy]

TMac, Gibbo and Lewis were poor but the rest of the team seems to be going pretty strongly so far - hopefully we can do enough to snap the 2 game losing streak

[kilbluff1985]

are Seoul gonna win? lots of our youngsters scoring well and Danger C

[RaisyDaisy]

Looking like coming down to the wire Toga!

New York: 1098/11 (C) with Hurn, Tippett, JJK and Heeney to come
Beijing: 1118/11 (C) or 1132/12 if Lambert counts? with Grundy, Zorko and Christensen to come

I have not added HGA for us, which at this stage is Rosa with 52 so HGA could be the decider here

Both teams performing strongly - one team is going to be unlucky to lose

[meow meow]

We're struggling everywhere, especially at team selection.

2 weeks ago Ellis plays for the Weta and scores 81, looking solid across half back and good enough to debut for 'church. Last week he comes in and scores 31. Dropped and scores 95 for the Weta this week.

Garlett returns from injury and scores 97 for the Weta last week, earning a recall. In this week and scores 32.

Steele has played 2 games in the seniors for scores of 47 and 62. In his 2 Weta games he's scored 83 and 81.

Hartlett is playing like a spud. Missed 2 matches, and averaging just 73 from his 4 games thus far, down from 101 last year.

Sandi missed round 1, McKernan scored 28. Campbell has killed Roughead's scoring with just 26 this week but prior to that he's been good as starting ruck (83 ave). Maybe the other 211 (Cox) will get a run instead. Got just 1 match out of Sandi.

We're done this week but Mick Vaye better start improving his output, I didn't trade in an 81 averaging player.

Dempster averaged 79 last year and was a solid D3 week in, week out. 57 average this year is shocking.

Lambert is subbed out, but his replacement didn't do much better in Bradley Hill  :-X

Having now prompted me to look at the scorecard, I see that the positions didn't come up for that scorecard... interesting.

EDIT: Oh I know why, I was trying to be clever and put Team Format: PetraccAttack, which now messes up with the automatic formulas :P

See now if you trade two good guys for 1 better guy (i.e. reduce the depth) this no longer a problem
