Just pointing out that between Sao Paulo and Buenos Aires they have 1,280 points from 9 players

Meanwhile, New Delhi and Beijing have 829 from 13 (though Wellington and Pacific are on 900 from 15...)

How about PNL and Berlin both having 6 players played, and I'm only 3 points ahead  :o

Thank god Setanta and Swallow had a good last half, had like 50 SC points between them at half time, ended up getting 175  8)

Wow a shocking game from Jacobs and Sloane just stopped in the final quarter! Not good enough from 2 of my senior players! >:(

Although in good news another great game from Andrew Walker. Looks to be one of the recruits of the season so far :) However I haven't seen a Carlton game yet and can't seem to work out where he has been playing in the games. Get's named at CFH, but then m0nty says he plays back, but then other times through the middle. Could he be a triple position player next season? :o

FFS. I got home from hockey and rushed to try and make a trade in SC. Came out to argue with my sister for TV rights...

I forgot/didn't get to trade Minson into my SC or Centrebret

As a result I hope he tons up in DT but FAILS in SC for the Pumas. Pumas been too lucky as it is.

[Nails]

Schulz looking injured... better not lose this to an injury.

Schulz costing me a chance. Stevie J going big!

[Purple 77]

Priddis subbed out..... Westhoff 2 possessions at quarter time.

Very lucky.

[CrowsFan]

What the hell were Masten and Waters doing in the final quarter? 2 points for Masten and -6 for Waters! :o

[Purple 77]

Thought Westhoff was due for a shocker, and thankfully I got that.

Trengove and Priddis both subbed out, effectively handing me the game due to sheer luck really, not scoring too flash myself atm.

Progressive Pumas

Hartlett 140, Houli 113, Roberton 72, Waters 71
Ablett (C) 320, Sloane 82, Masten 65, Zaharakis 140
Jacobs 66
Roughead, Wright 80, Smith 132, Walker 124
Minson 102, Wallis 55

Emg: Duncan 65, Gunston, Armstrong 88

Total - 1,562/14
After such a great start from my first 5 players the next 9 have all been rather disappointing bar Hartlett (140) and Walker (124) Minson (102). Expect much more from Waters, Sloane, Jacobs, Masten and Wallis. Wright was average.

From my calculations Armadillos are 1,294 from 12.

So tomorrow it comes down to...
Pumas vs Armadillos
Roughead vs Petrie
134 vs Burgoyne
134 vs Thompson

I think I should be home from here :)

B Smith (82)

Wow, wish McKenzie could have played! 108 a great effort from him, will definitely be pushing for a call-up next week. Everyone else was pretty disappointing...

1040/13

Reckon we are gone... Cannon and Smith were both solid so both a good chance to come in. Seems to be at least 2 midfielders that let us down big time each week.

1161/14 C Played :'(

Motlop will be playing next week, Rivers yet another injury to our defense Suckling out really hurting us, strong mids but poor elsewhere

[Nails]

D - Brennan (66), Scotland (99), Burgoyne, SD Thompson
M - Swan (C) (254), Kornes (VC) (81), Barlow (92), Boyd (107)
R - Warnock (101)
F - Petrie, Cox (105), Johnson (160), Schulz (56)
INT - Cross (82), Gilbert (95)
EMG - Carrazzo (106), Bradley (18), Johncock DNP

Vice captain Cornes scores his worst score of the season by 36 points. What a spud. Can't stand up when it counts.

Was also strongly considering playing Carrazzo over Cross but the numbers supported Cross. Damn. Warnock playing his first game for the season along with Stevie J were the only real shining lights in an otherwise dismal performance. When playing the Pumas you need your best. Their players managed to stand up and put on a real show. Our players on the other hand useless. Would have been nice to have Chapman.

12/1298 - who knows? Maybe if SD Thompson and Burgoyne can maintain their form from the past few weeks. Also you never know what Petrie could do.

[CrowsFan]

I don't want to rub salt in to the wounds nails but Brennan only scored 62, not 66...

Some interesting results!

Cairo Sands   858   11 (Hale, Breust, Thomas, Jones)
Cape Town Cobras   1302   14 (Sylvia)
Prediction: Cape Town will comfortably win against a disappointing Cairo, but really should worry about the number of passengers in its team!

Beijing Bears   749   11 (Shiels, Guerra, Tapscott, Mayes)
New Delhi Tigers   891   13 (Bastinac, Mullett C)
Prediction: Despite Bears Captain Harry Taylor's effort, the Tigers still look getting a win here!

Tokyo Samurai   1143   14 (Mitchell)
Seoul Magpies   1449   15 (Done)
Prediction: Sam Mitchell going to score over 300? Nope. Well done to Seoul!

Dublin Destroyers   720   7 (Watts, Atley, Docherty, Redden, Goldstein, Hansen, Green, Anderson)
London Royals   1408   14 (Brown)
Prediction: Dublin are still a chance, but think London have the points on the board

PNL Reindeers   1029   13 (Rioli, Jones)
Berlin Brewers   761   9 (Franklin C, Wells, Grimes, Trengove, Jamar, Garland)
Prediction: Priddis and Westhoff let the Reindeers down, if Franklin gets a 100, the game is just about over. Well done Berlin

New York Revolution   1041   13 (Birchall C, Paparone)
Moscow Spetsnaz   1198   13 (Adams, Frawley)
Prediction: Moscow have the edge here, after New York has had a disappointing week. Birchall holds the key!

Mexico City Suns   1195   11 (Lewis, Hodge, Adcock, Moloney)
Toronto Wolves   836   8 (Swallow, Ziebell, Zorko, Grima, Cunnington, Pedersen, MacMillan)
Prediction: Suns have the slight edge, but Toronto are still with a shot

Pacific Islanders   585   11 (Rockliff C, Leuenberger, Howe, Gibson)
Wellington Warriors   828   11 (Golby, Smith, Byrnes, Bewick)
Prediction: Well. Ahh.... Well. What has gone wrong with the Islanders?

Sao Paulo Pumas   1562   14 (Roughead)
Buenos Aires Armadillos   1294   12 (Petrie, Thompson, Burgoyne)
Prediction: Pumas should win here! Still hope for the Armadillos. Terrific Match
