what a ripper ruckman :P

So co-captain Treloar was great for Dublin, Sloane below par

Kolodjashnij was terrible for Rio, but Hall good. Thompson and Boak and Jacobs and Pearce below par

Dublin 13/1071 (one cc left)
Rio 8/654 (captain left)

Good chance I've miscalculated....


So it is:

Dublin: 417 + hga (34) + Selwood x 1.5 + O Mac

V

Rio: Cripps x 2 + Mackie + Cutler + Vince + Zaharakis + Robinson + Wright

You know, Rio haven't made the most of this, and I think Dublin might hold on. If Cripps gets say 130 or more though....

After Saturday:

We have two ripper prelims on our hands!!

Dublin's Saturday afternoon was an absolute disaster; opening the door for Rio to take a huge upset win! But, with Kolodjashnij failing to take advantage of the Destroyer slow start, and CC Treloar leading the Destroyers superbly, it's back on level pegging terms if you ask me! Patrick Cripps is the key here, but I too don't think the Jags did enough early, and will back Dublin to win from here.

And what about the other match?! This awesome shoot-out has already seen 9 centurions with 7 more players to play, and with New Delhi accounting for 6 of those, they have given themselves an ALMIGHTY shot at winning  :o :o :o but with Mexico City's HGA currently sitting at 72, and with Captain Rocky to play, I give the Suns a slight advantage, but incredibly, the Tigers are looking at a spot in the Grand Final!

Score Summary
Dublin Destroyers (1071) from 13* vs Rio de Janeiro Jaguars (654) from 8
Mexico City Suns (1037) from 11 vs New Delhi Tigers (1289) from 12#

Oh come Rio, you can't let an opportunity like this escape you!

Surely Dublin can't get through with that score!

Rocky and Stef are going to be HUUUGE and will be the decider's I reckon. NDT could really use a super low score from Mexico to bring HGA down too, and Buckley could be that guy!

Yeah, I'm worried about this as well. 120-130 might not be enough for me in my SC H2H this week :-\

Majak daw.

Basically everything that could have gone wrong has. My forward 5 have been absolutely shocking. Good thing my midfield stood up.

Treloar is a superstar.

Selwood has won me one flag already i need him now. Imfearing a jelly 60 but a jelly 130 would almost put me through.

I have talked up my boy omac fir 2 years dont let me down

[Ricochet]

annnd Buckley with an early goal ::)
