WXV Finals Week 1: Bears pass Finals Torch to Thunder at Last

[Ricochet]

I'd personally be filthy though that flowering AFL and WXV debutant Ryan Abbott tonned up for Christchurch, I mean, WHAT A SELECTION!

Yup  >:(

[Purple 77]

Kane Farrell already outscoring Jackson Thurlow for the Jing!

Whod've thunk it!

[Purple 77]

After Ess/Haw/Bris/North

Ha, what a pretty disastrous 2 games for 6 of our teams!

A Toronto defensive trio could only combine for 189 points, whereas Seoul's 4 players only combined for 272.

Beijing Breust did just OK, but Tom Mitchell as Captain went BANG, and has heaped pressure on Brodie Grundy to do the same to keep the Jing in it. Thank god for Zork though!

Dublin CC Todd Goldstein put in a stinker, alas, so Goddard & Basti. Gunston getting 138 murdered Hodge's respectable 89.

Stef Martin has seen better days for New Delhi, Daniel Rich stunk it up, but at least Jack Ziebell tonned up. Whilst for the Saints, 3 of their bookends combined for just 184.

[Adamant]

Clarke averages 56.1 from 8 games for Toronto with a top score of 80 and a low score of 24.
Clarke averages 89.2 from 5 games for Windsor with a top score of 106 and a low score of 73.

Coming off back-to-back tons in the ressies, I think I can guess what's going to happen here.

Predictable.

[upthemaidens]

Lyons unlikely to play, so we'll be 620/5

[Purple 77]

Brodie Grundy! Take a bow!

What great theatre in the Jing v Islanders game!

[Toga]

Brodie Grundy! Take a bow!

What great theatre in the Jing v Islanders game!

He's proving to be best of the best 8)

But still I think we'll have too many passengers this week.

[Purple 77]

After Saturday night

Neither Toronto or Seoul are hitting anywhere near their best form, but its neck and neck regardless! Captain Macrae did just fine, in an otherwise century-less day for both teams.

Grundy did an A+ job as captain, keeping the 'Jing in it! But boy have they had a lot of passengers. They'll now have to hope the Islanders remaining players puts in a stinker or two.

Buddy obviously didn't get the memo that Berlin are cooked, putting in a mammoth effort for Berlin. Gawn will have to match that effort for Berlin to have ANY hope whatsoever, and not a point less.

:-X it's not every week Sidebum and Steven combine for 127. Mind you, Christchurch don't want to win either. The remaining Saints are capable of chasing the lead down, but it all comes down the Lord Heath Shaw.

My lord Beijing has been bad this week outside of Grundy & Zorko. Hopefully we'll have a few handy ins down back next week :-X

[RaisyDaisy]

My lord Beijing has been bad this week outside of Grundy & Zorko. Hopefully we'll have a few handy ins down back next week :-X

Might have used up all your luck during the season  :-\

That backline, ouch  :-[

[Levi434]

Looks like the standard "don't post anything otherwise you might curse your team" mentality from the remaining coaches.

So Levi is here to break it down:



Toronto VS Seoul
K. Simpson + J. Redden + D. Mundy + J. Hogan + J. Hopper + B. Fiorini + HGA (49) + 116
VS
C. Oliver + J. Kelly + T. Greene + C. Curnow + N. Haynes + C. Salem + C. Marchbank

This is going to be tight. You'd think that The Magpies have a few higher scorers left to come. Toronto are a total of 165 points ahead if HGA stays the same which you'd think it should. Can't help but feel this is going to come down to how well Haynes, Salem and Bank go. I think you have to stick with Toronto from here based off the fact those 3 could stink it up and negate any epic performances from Kelly, Oliver etc.



Beijing VS Pacific
C. Ward + L. Neale + B. Hill + C. Byrne + HGA (28) + 168
VS
A. Gaff + J. Witts + M. Taberner + A. Tomlinson + L. Duggan + J. Lyons C. Guthrie? + M. de Boer

Lyons for Guthrie's 99 will be a good result for Pacific. Otherwise they will definitely be biting their nails watching their remaining players today. I'll be picking Beijing from here. If the Thunders' remaining players average 80, and the Islanders' all average 100 then "Jing will still win. Pacific have Gaff. Probs game over lol.



Dublin VS Berlin
T. McDonald + S. Hill + B. Deledio + P. Davis + O. McDonald + HGA (58) + 279
VS
M. Gawn (C) + N. Jones + M. Walters + S. Frost + A. Vandenberg

Looking at this you'd think Berlin are surely no chance. I expect Dublin's HGA to take a small hit with OMac and/or Davis to get less than 58 but I still think unless everyone in Dublin under-performs and Berlin all go good, then Dublin will win. In fact if everyone remaining on Dublin scores 55 and everyone remaining in Berlin scores 100... Dublin still win. Gawn to get 165 to make things interesting. :-X



New Dehli VS Christchurch
J. Darling + E. Langdon + HGA (44) + 220
VS
H. Shaw (C) + N. Wilson + M. Murphy + S. Darcy

The Premiership Favourites, Christchurch look like they can control their own destiny here. 264 points on the board will give NDT confidence as well as the scoring potential of Darling and Langdon. Of course this will come down to Lord Heef's performance. If he can knock off all if not most of the 220 advantage then The Saints will be preparing for next week.

[Holz]

Not worried about the curse.

Im just waiting to see who is my next oponent

[GoLions]

Pacific also have Gaff :-X

[Levi434]

Pacific also have Gaff :-X

:o

[Holz]

Davis not getting less then 58
