WXV Round 9: Reserved

[Ricochet]

Right so
Seoul: HGA(46) + Lynch + Matera
NDT: 52 + Gray + JMartin + HH

With the way the remaining three are going (looking mainly at you Hamish!), they could quite easily throw up 3 shockers and make it closer than what it should
Rich's 118 at E2 would have been handy!

of course HH played his only decent game of footy for the year

Lol yep i laughed

[Purple 77]

Chad Wingard (PNL) and Karl Amon (Cairo) didn't play.

PNL's F2, F3 and F4 become their F1, F2 and F3. Lukas Webb moves from U1 to F4. U2, E1, E2 and E3 become U1, U2, E1 and E2. PNL's new E3, on list preferences, is now Will Brodie, given no one else from the other 17 AFL teams played and is not already selected.

Cairo's E1, E2 and E3 are now their U2, E1 and E2. On preferences, Cairo's E3 is now Nick Smith.

[GoLions]

Pretty sure we got killed haha

[Purple 77]

Ha, just realised Hammelmann might be the first player to debut without being promoted off the rookie list.

PNL had no one else to select so its perfectly acceptable. Brodie coming in at E3 makes thing a little complex though, but given the strange circumstances of not knowing of his selection, will keep it as is.

Doesn't matter though, they both scored 32.

Islanders leave Cape Town Stranded

This was an opportunity gone begging for Cape Town to claim a genuine scalp. If their bottom 3 players doubled their score to respectable ones, they would have won. Meanwhile, Tom Mitchell was incredible in the win for Pacific, but he's no Pendlebury.

Dublin Demoralise Terrific Toronto

Moscow's Heavenly Home

It came down to the 16th man from Moscow to overcome the Samurai, who would be bemoaning yet another missed opportunity. Parker & Dahlhaus defintely are to blame in this one.

Beijing beats Berlin in BS competition which is crap

Ugh. Dixon nearly did it  :'( but the Thunder were well overdue to win one of these types of games, so I guess I can only b*tch to a certain extent. A lack of a ruck was felt in this game, that's for sure. But an amazing performance by Lachie Neale gets Beijing the W, along with their match deciding HGA.

Tigers Triumph over Searching Seouls

Seoul are still looking for that big win over one of the big boys, and again it's because OliveField is getting scarce help, particularly from the back line. Whilst New Delhi was solid all over, as seen from how many players are listed in the "Best"
