UTG Season 4: Finals Discussion & Banter Thread

[fanTCfool]

Heading into Sunday...



This is anyone's game. A lot will be riding on Dunkley, Williams and SE Taranto to chase down the lead in the penultimate game of the round. A Sloane 60 opened the door for Nige to capitalise, but was thoroughly let down by a poor performance from Blakely. I'll stay with my original tip and back Gig to narrowly get the job done, though I'm sure a 131 from Walters is being missed on field to really make sure of things.

Oh Dear! One of, if not the most dominant player in UTG this season has seen a complete and utter team collapse at the worst possible time. Salem and Lynch were poor, but 8 from DBJ was unfathomably bad. I'm going to go with the curse here and declare that JV CANNOT LOSE. With such even and reliable contributions across the board, JV will be hard to beat next week, and has to be a very serious chance to win the whole thing from here.

That would've been Nige

Prelim Results



A comfortable win for Gigantor in the end, Taranto SE and Dunkley combining for 280+ to secure a spot in the grand final. That marks the end of the road for Nige after a successful 2019 campaign, may you return in 2020 with the aim of taking the next step.

JV rolled home to post a big 1200 score, with 4 tons sitting in the emergency list as well to provide some potential selection headaches ahead of next week. As already documented, it wasn't to be for Tom this week, but a strong 2019 campaign is not to be forgotten. I'm sure he'll be back with some hunger for redemption next year.

As our attention turns to the big final, the main question will be the fitness of JV's ruck Max Gawn. His appearance, or lack thereof next week could potentially be the difference in the big game...

JV Claims Crown!



That's all she wrote for UTG 2019! Max Gawn did the early damage, putting nearly a 100 point buffer on his AFL & UTG opponent Todd Goldstein. Despite some solid contributions across the board, it was too much for Gigantor to recover, as Whitfield & Zorko joined in the party with big tons. Congratulations to JV for taking home the cake in 2019, and to Gigantor for what was, in particular, such a terrific regular season. See you in 2020!

Thanks for the year FTC, commiserations Gig.  I had to make the right choices somewhere along the line benching Billings for Cameron and Brouch to have a dud game, glad it was the final!  ;D  Think this is my first FanFooty title in anything too!

Well done JV, I want to blame Goldy, but my Mids were my only line that won and only just so it was overall team failure haha

My boy Worpel was the one that hurt the most, played him every round I could after picking him up in my very first UTG pack  :'(  :P
