WXV Round 7: Top of the Table Clash

[kilbluff1985]

think we finished Simpson subbed not that he was doing anything

[Nails]

Harvey and Thompson trying their best to give Mexico City a chance ::)

Stevie J was like 40 points ahead of Bartel last quarter but no Bartel did what Bartel does and just scores 90% of his points in Q4 ::)

Think we're still winning? IDK I've been out so haven't updated scores.

[Nails]

DEF: SD. Thompson 61, Scotland 77, Burgoyne 128, Wood 79
MID: Swan (co) 140, Johnson (co) 203, Cornes 116 (rest bonus applied) , Barlow
RUC: Warnock 99
FWD: Schulz 108, Chapman 102, Harvey 69, Hale 60
UTL: Boyd 109, Cross 87

EMG: Kelly, Petrie, Astbury

1,438/14 + likely 60 HGA


Mexico City Suns

D - Bartel (CC) 189, Hodge 113, Adcock 96, Baguely 47
M - Goddard 122, Sidebum 90, Ebert (CC) 111, Lewis 118
R - Sandilands
F - N. Riewoldt 31, Pavlich, Crameri 49, Goodes 82

UTI - S. Thompson 105, Vince 98

EMG - Merrett, Curren, Acres

1,251/13

Pavlich and Sandilands need to score 248 more than Barlow to win. Which is a 50/50 chance given Barlow's 0 touches in the 3rd quarter 12 minutes in ::)

Bit peeved off at Harvey and Thompson only getting 130 between them. flowering useless for us ::) they're meant to be 200 points combined each week. We could've scored a nice big 170 if they were on song.

[roo boys!]

despite north losing the game was a great one for me, love having dixon back.

Hansen 117
NDS 106
Goldy 101
Dixon 92

Gotta say roo boys! can't be happy that it was North Melbourne players that scored well against him, considering his allegiance and he has 11 North players :/

Yeah not exactly over the moon! Congratulations on the win though Dublin, well deserved, better side.

[Purple 77]

Well, Sunday pretty much worked in my favour in basically every facet. I should take home the match  :D

Buenos Aires 159 defeated Mexico City Suns 143


Bit peeved off witht oday still though, Thompson and Harvey turned what could have been a great score into one that's only bloody goode.

Happy to get over the Suns though. Based on averages last night a 24 point win was predicted, but I guess we'll take the 16 point win instead.

[Purple 77]

Huh, well, I ended up with 1394. I certainly felt like I did a lot worse, seeing as I had to take Garlett's 28 and Georgiou's 23. That actually isn't a half bad score  :D

Great to get a win after a month of losing

[CrowsFan]

Wish I had been playing you this round nails. I scored 1,588, which means you would have lost by 2 and it would have been great to see you explode with rage for once again losing to the Pumas :P

[Nails]

Let's be fair though, we were tracking for 170 at end of last night...

Harvey + SD. Thompson should be a 200 point lock, not a 130 point lock ::)

Week ruined by 3 poor scores today, but I can't really blame  Barlow. He was solid.

I'm pretty excited to see the reserves score though. Petrie, Kelly, Cox, Astbury, Newman, Tunbridge, P. Stewart...

Our depth is finally here!

[Justin Bieber]

Wish I had been playing you this round nails. I scored 1,588, which means you would have lost by 2 and it would have been great to see you explode with rage for once again losing to the Pumas :P

PNL have 3 losses, all against massive scores over 150. Good win by you guys, think that means 5 in a row for your Pumas!

Armadillos Flag Favourites

Buenos Aires put on another convincing display, with stars across the board and solid home ground performance. The Armadillos are officially the flag favourites, with Mexico City suffering its first loss since last year's Grand Final.

Also! A draw in the reserves!

Buenos Aires Armadillos (24.15.159) defeated Mexico City Suns (21.17.143)

Best
Buenos Aires: S Johnson, S Burgoyne, M Boyd, J Schulz, K Cornes, P Chapman
Mexico City: J Bartel, B Goddard, A Sandilands, J Lewis, L Hodge, S Thompson

Reserves
Buenos Aires Armadillos (14.13.97) tied with Mexico City Suns (14.13.97)

Best
Buenos Aires: P Stewart, D Astbury, J Kelly, D Cox
Mexico City: S Hurn

[CrowsFan]

Nails we were also tracking for a much bigger score, but Houli and Masten were very poor today.

Yep 5 in a row, the Pumas are purring...

But we play Dublin next round, so could come to an end.

Berlin storm home to snap losing streak

Berlin looked on the ropes, but a strong performance late in the game and they came away strong victors!

Amazingly, the sub rule worked against Berlin TWICE this week (in the same AFL game also, both St. Kilda players!).

New York have some questions to ask, with some young talent in the reserves surely look likely for a game including Harley Bennell and Shaun Atley.


New York Revolution (20.8.128) lost to Berlin Brewers (21.13.139)

Best
New York: J Gibson, T Liberatore, M Stokes
Berlin: M Jamar, R Conca, P Duffield, L Jetta, N Fyfe, D Jackson

Substitute
Berlin: J Garlett subbed in for J Saunders, A Georgiou subbed in for J Geary

WXV Debut
Berlin: A Georgiou

Reserves
Washington Rebellion (12.13.85) defeated Rhineland Rum-Runners (4.5.29)

Best
Washington: W Hoskin-Elliott, H Bennell, S Atley, A Young
Rhineland: Nil

[ossie85]

Moscow win with all round performance

Callan Ward was the only player to star for Moscow, others were solid across the game.

Beijing had four in the best, but had too many passengers.

Beijing Thunder (18.13.121) lost to Moscow Spetsnaz (20.12.132)

Best
Beijing: L Neale, M Rosa, H Taylor, C Hooker
Moscow: C Ward

Late Changes
Beijing: D Glass replaced J Thurlow

Reserves
Shanghai Storm (2.3.15) lost to Siberian Wolverines (14.11.95)
