I didn't know that!

I didn't know that!

Yeah since they are playing a week earlier in round 1 they are having this week off. It's why the Crows and Freo played a practice match earlier :)

[ossie85]

But what if any of those teams made the NAB final....

But what if any of those teams made the NAB final....

then it was too bad they didnt get a break
which is why for even more reason then usual you cannot read anything into those 4 teams pre season form

ROUND 2 RESULTS! (Sadly no proper write up for it this week :(. May be one later in the week, like Friday).

Seoul Magpies 1071 DEFEATED Sao Paulo Pumas 940.
Mexico Suns 1140 DEFEATED Berlin Brewers 925.

This makes the final of the Pre-Season comp the Seoul Magpies Vs Mexico Suns. Nobody has expected Seoul to make such a charge early with so many off-season dramas involving several coaching changes, but looks like they've done something right with JB & KoopKicka at the helm! Maca will look to keep the Suns roaring forward into the season, heavily favoured to contend for the top spot and Premiership again, so a Pre-Season Cup will just be the warm up for them.

In other action this round will be:
Moscow Spetnaz 700 DEFEATED BY Cairo Sands 879
New Dehli Tigers 709.5 DEFEATED BY Dublin Destroyers 1034
London Royals 912 DEFEATED BY Tokyo Samurais 972
Buenos Aires Armadillos 799 DEFEATED BY Pacific Islanders 863
Toronto Wolves 948 DEFEATED BY PNL Reindeers 960
Beijing Bears 656 DEFEATED BY Wellington Warriors 762
New York Revolution DREW WITH Cape Town Cobras due to no team being named from either side :P.

Got to say the Destroyers pulled in a massive score smashing the Tigers while other teams scored quite respectably! Wellington picked up a win even though that score would have been beaten by most other teams so quite lucky! Moscow and Bueno Aires underperforming due to resting some stars. Match of the round in the friendlies goes to Wolves and Reindeers in a hotly contested contest!


THIRD AND FINAL ROUND IS NOW OPEN!

Because Adelaide, Essendon, Eagles and Freo aren't playing this week

Take note of this whoever wants to put in teams this round.

Will not make any matchups, however, those who want to put in a team will be matched with the next team who puts in a lineup! (Besides the 2 teams who've made the finals :P ). May make it interesting and some Coaches may want to pick and choose who to face :P. So... If you post your team in the right order, you can pick your own opponent ;).

surprises the Samurai won with what our skipper scored

Can thank Mitchell for his 111 as well as solid backup around the ground with another 5 players scoring between 70-90 for you guys. There have been a few not so great Captain choices everywhere, even a team without one :o. It is a team effort so can always pick up the slack :D.

Oooh upset of the year with the Islanders taking down the Armadillos? >:D

[ossie85]

Great stuff HP :)
