WXV Preliminary Finals; Wolves v Brewers, Thunder v Tigers

[Ricochet]

 :o  :o :o

Scaling is going to be verrry interesting. Roughie nearly got it done for Berlin!

[Purple 77]

I have never experienced fantasy footy emotion like that in my life

The last 2 mins, with the AFL team trying to give Roughy goals...

... him getting one... off a Fiorini turnover no less...

... then missing the set shot...

... then not connecting on his snap...

I'm gonna go down. 6 points pre-scaling. I can't believe that just happened.

[Purple 77]

And that's scaling. And the L.

[Purple 77]

Ugh, god the pain.

There was so many places where I lost this game:
- Gawn getting injured in the last 10 mins
- Zak Jones injury, and I know I would have played him over Hibberd, and he would have likely scored more than 70
- Picking Luke Hodge over Sam Frost, mostly because I wanted to limit the number of my XV playing on Friday night, combined with Hodge's historically good form over Geelong...

"So many" being 3 in this case.

I won't deny I had luck in this game. But just a slight shift in the wind I could be playin in my first GF. I am crushed, but also just a little proud I got myself into this position, and performed well on the day.

Congrats to FTC and Toronto, you deserve to be in the GF.

[Purple 77]

... and if I flowering just played Hibberd over flowering Harrison Petty in my qualifying final, I'd have had a home final win on HGA over New Delhi.

Ugh, GOD THE PAIN!

[PowerBug]

Only playing the game because some potato didn't captain Cripps the previous round. And I was only playing that because Dangerfield put up a 57 the week before.

Luck swung both ways! Good to see close finals though!

Tigers dissipate Thunder Clouds

A floundering forward line, and a 'mare from QF Finals Champion DBJ crippled the Thunder, who heartbreakingly follow last years path out of finals. A tough pill to swallow.
