British XV Round 13 (AFL Rd 16) Team and OOP Lodgements and Banter Discussion

[Ringo]

After the Byes and the North v South Challenge we get back to the final 4 rounds prior to finals

Remember to name emergencies in order, any OOP players ane EVC in this thread.

Round 13 Draw:



Some very interesting match ups which will help shape the table.

Breakers v Owls  6th v 4th The loser of this match will be in danger of dropping out of the 8. Both teams have had 7 wins with the Owls having the draw. Will be a tight match but Owls may be slight favourites with a lot resting on Captain choices.
Knights v Bunnies 15th v 10th - Bunnies strongly favoured here but Knights can cause a boilover if Bunnies not on their game.
Badgers v Magic 3rd v 12th Should be an easy win for the Badgers.  However the Magic have found some form recently and may cause a surprise if all players play to their full potential.
Hoods v Steins 13th v 14th  A very close match here. Hoods should have the firepower to get over the vastly improved Steins but a Steins victory would not surprise.
Giants v Werewolves 16th v 2nd Should be an easy win for the Werewolves who are close to full strength.
Hurricanes v Dragons 1st v 11th Hurricanes would be favoured here but the Dragons when on song can cause an upset. Will it be this week though can not see it and favour the Hurricanes to continue the whirlwind against opponents.
Leeches v Rams 8th v 9th. Another match where the loser may struggle to make the 8. Rams have been showing something in recent weeks in the absence of their suspended stars and may be able to get over the Leeches who are very up and down this year.
Hawks v Hedgehogs 5th v 7th A must win match for the Hedgehogs if they are to stay in 8.  Will be tight and if either side is a little off could mean curtains. Looking for a tight game with the Hedgies based on projections slight favourites.

So we have 3 matches that will really shape the final 8.  Let the banter begin.

I've been away for just over a week with basically zero internet, just got back home half an hour ago. Any chance I can name my team here? Or do I get stuck with what I currently have? The only changes I'd make are Cutler to Harbrow, Lonergan to Stretch, Barlow to Lynch (Fasolo emg), and Hanley in for NDS. Rest is fine.

You're probably better off going against your instinct when choosing your mid ;)
