[Rusty00]

Good to see Gray and Cripps bounce back! All four starting mids over 200 8)

[JBs-Hawks]

Hawks vs Leeches: This should also be a very good match. Hawks were pretty impressive, as were the Leeches. Hawks with HGA might have the slight advantage here, so I'll back them in.

Spot on!

Final match results:



Rams were in with a shot until the final game, where young defender Oscar McDonald put up a poor showing. Goldy being a late out hurt their chances, but probably wouldn't have made a difference in the end with Daw stepping up nicely. Badgers will be happy with the win, but disappointed in a few scores from some of their players.

Giants put up a pretty big fight here, but Sloaney was going to hit some form sooner or later, and unfortunately for the Giants, he went absolutely huge this week, giving the Magic a decent enough buffer to get them a handy win away from home.

A low scoring affair between the Hoods and the Knights saw the Knights come away with the win. Hoods really need Hanners to get back into some form, otherwise they could really struggle, and it has showed these first 2 weeks. Dangerfield leading the way for the Knights with a huge 270, cementing them the win.

Hurricanes just so consistent across the board, and surprisingly it was Salem who took the 3 votes in this one! The Hedgies had too many scores under 100, and were always playing catch-up from the start of the round unfortunately.

Steins just too strong once again, I really think they can do a lot of damage this year. Bunnies didn't have a fantastic week, although there have been some positives, with Murphy leading the way magnificently, and the return of Michael Hurley and Ben Cunnington to the team.

Another high scoring affair for these two teams, just like last week. The Owls at home were just too strong, and had it been a Dragons home game, they would have come away with the win! Both these teams looking like strong contenders for the top 4 this year, can't wait to see if they can keep it up for the whole year or not!

I flowering knew this match would be decided by HGA. I flowering knew it. Leeches had almost done enough away from home with a small lead, but the Hawks HGA got them over the line. Poor performances from the entire Leeches midfield probably was the difference here.

Breakers very disappointing this week, so this was a massive percentage booster for the Werewolves, who have shown the comp just how strong they are when their midfield is up and running, finishing with the highest score of the week.

Ladder after round 2:



Couple of changes after this week. Badgers and Magic slip into the 8, Dragons and Breakers fall out. Expecting the Dragons to claw their way back in very very soon though.

You're welcome iZander for my Salem recommendation :P

"I'm gonna regret trading Rupert Wills... even though I don't feel as bad about it that I turned him into Salem"

ikr, thanks!
I still do love Rupert Wills though, dunno where hes gone. Loved ur recommendation of Joel Smith too, looked a ripper (35 points in like 5 mins), unfortunately wont be playing much this year though :P
If only id jumped on Hunt when you said, although you didnt push his scoring ability as much :P

If I thought Hunt would turn out this good I might have taken my own advice  :-X
