WXV Round 17 - 10 teams say goodbye

[c4v3m4n]

And all of a sudden the Minor Premiership race is on?

Considering I am just 134 points behind having had 2 players less play, plus my captain I think I'll be alright ;)

Comes down to this though:

Pumas - Ablett (C), Sloane, Wright, Porplyzia, Jacobs, HG Advantage (currently 56)

vs

Islanders - N. Smith, Prestia, D. Swallow, 134

So after the Melb v GC game...

Pumas - Sloane, Wright, Porps, Jacobs, HG Advantage and ~80

vs

Islanders - Nick Smith (on 24 at half time)

Oh dear. :-\

[roo boys!]

Toronto - 1277/14 with van Berlo and HGA to come.

PNL - 1445/15.

In big trouble! van Berlo doing well so far (67 at HT), but not sure what my HGA is...having a look through my line-up now to find it.

Got it, 48 to Taylor Adams. Which means for me to win Nathan van Berlo needs to get 171! Which means a 104 point second half. Big upset, congrats HP!

RB that's not quite right ;)

Add 48 to 1,277 and you are on 1,325, which puts you 120 behind, not 170. So you need NVB to score 121 for the win, so a second half of 54 ;)

2 points up with 4 players left and HG advantage. Sorry c4 ;)

In other news injuries are coming at the wrong end of the season for the Pumas, with Porps who had been in superb form succumbing to another shoulder injury. Probably wont see him for the rest of the season :-\

Woops, added it to 1,227! Thanks CF, more possible now but still going to need a big last quarter.

Win Toronto, I don't want to miss out on percentage!

[roo boys!]

I'm doing my best :P NVB needs another 45, but with plenty of points up for grab in this last qtr it's not off the cards! Not too much up for grabs, I should make the 8 either way and unlikely to get a home final with BB doing pretty well.

30 more!

Well we put up a fight, but just couldn't run the game out. :P

Congrats CF on taking out the minor premiership.

Scotland, Jenkins, Petrenko + HGA vs Goodes, Howlett, 50pts.

I don't think i'll get this. :(

My first loss since round 6! :/
Howlett with the hamstring tear has literally cost me the match. And added another casualty to the finals campaign.
