WXV Round 3 - Suns, Spetsnaz fight for 3-0

[CrowsFan]

Well here's a little bit of luck for you Daz...

Luke Ball will be coming in to your side this week to replace Rich. So there is an extra 36 points for you :)

[Nails]

Hard to call it luck when an uninjured Rich would have likely beaten Ball's score.

didn't think of that!
Sub rule FTW
thanks HB  ;)

[CrowsFan]

Two straight weeks. TWO STRAIGHT WEEKS! The opposition captain has scored 182

All the while, Zorko gets 45. Sigh.

Oh well, was never gonna get the Pumas score, so not as upset. Pretty damn scary over there at the Pumas.

Yeah just hasn't been a good week for you Purps. And picking Zorko as captain has been a nightmare!

It's nice when my team actually decides to click for once :)

[Nige]

Just realised a third gamer is our best scorer for the round.  :o

Won't last though, since Mummy will score 150.  ;D

Soz Tokyo.  :P

as expected HP ball dropped for Thomas and  thomas has  apoor one and ball a better one

and the PNL curse continues enright last week and now Rich with a potential ACL
HP i really think it is impossible for us at PNL to actually have decent luck

Well here's a little bit of luck for you Daz...

Luke Ball will be coming in to your side this week to replace Rich. So there is an extra 36 points for you :)

Luckily I remembered the sub rule this round :P. So handy enough we have Ball coming in for Rich :). Also Trengove will come in for Enright, as he was a late out, so always plan ahead with an emergency from every position usually!

Jaensch continues his fine start to the season, think Pacific would be kicking themselves for delisting him :P. Jones may be pushing for a start over Patton over next couple of weeks as well which will help the forward depth...

This is how the Suns v Spetsnaz game is looking.
Suns 969 from 9 + C.
Baguley, Goddard, Ebert, Waite, Yarran and Vince left to play.

Spetsnaz 666.5 from 8 + C.
Shaw, Dunn, Fletcher, Frawley, Ward, Heppell, Monfries left to play.

[Nige]

Brett Goodes was BOG for Footscray in the VFL while Dickson kicked 4.

Hopefully both can be in contention for the Dogs and possibly Cairo next week. Particularly Dickson, Kerridge isn't going as well as I hoped he would.

Forward line struggled this week.

Caddy really needs to lift. He is improving though.

Treloar 141.  :o

Mummy only 88 (was hoping for 100 at 3QT but those 3FA have killed his score).
