ok everyone it is time for the next team to be revealed and the team averaging the 2nd lowest from the preseason so far is

Dhaka Dinosaurs (nrich102)

Total Team   890   706   723   680   897   863      793.1666667
Best 5   531   483   548   550   642   569      553.8333333


The main problem for the Dinosaurs head coach Nrich seems to be keeping his key players on the park
the likes of Tom Mitchell, Mark Hutchings and Ben McEvoy having a interrupted pre season making it hard for the dinosaurs to find consistency (though McEvoy is doing his best to still put in a 100 average)

While Tom Rockliff, Patrick Dangerfield, Brent Stanton and Jimmy Bartel are all flying averaging 101 or more
so the fact they have the 2nd lowest score could be a little misleading

they also still have Chad Wingard who is struggling after missing a week due to injury so despite the injuries i believe Nrich would be confident of firing come the full season

Can the Dinosaurs avoid more injuries or will that cost them dearly in the season proper?

[kilbluff1985]

has a good best 5 but falls away very quickly after that

[nrich102]

Just pointing out I should have Macrae instead of Mitchell, but was robbed :(

has a good best 5 but falls away very quickly after that

I disagree, to an extent. Gibbs, averaging 99 is acceptable and should be a good backup, and Wingard should be good, despite only averaging 82, should lift it to 95+. After that though, falls away :(

Awesome write up daz!

Christmas Island Dreams (Master Q)

so the dreams are not having such a dreamy pre season
but tbh i think the head coach Q wouldn't be too fazed atm the list does seem good and the low scores are generally those returning from injury
as Ryan Griffin finds his feet scores will improve and he is currently Q's lowest averaging player

the up side for the dreams is the last 2 weeks in the preseason have been their 2 best scores so far and that is with Brendon Goddard out injured

so i am sure Q would be expecting goddard back and griffin firing by the time the season starts to complement the rest of the side

the only negative atm would be the fact that they atm do not have anyone averaging 100 or more (goddard would be taking away his sub affected score)

so when the season starts will Master Q's mean rise up to the challenge and pump out big scores
or will inconsistency play a big role?

Well Head Coach Ossie has had a very dramatic pre season with his marque player in Dane Swan slow to start and the rumors of him not recovering from the wrist surgery or being unfit circulated the league
Ossie was quick to stamp out these rumors and back in his man and as can been seen his starting to build nicely towards the season proper

the big concern for the Firebirds has got to be the injuries to Big Ivan Maric still slowly returning and Chris Judd having a very interrupted preseason due to injury

the Firebirds currently have 4 players averaging 100 or more and then Libba comes in 5th averaging 99.6
so the points are their for the Firebirds they just need to find some consistency and hope to not get too many injuries

The big question i think will be will all this turmoil in the preseason translate into poor performances on the field (first their was rumors of the Firebirds possibility sitting out the season and then now the injury concerns
i think Head Coach Ossie would be looking to make a big statement from round 1 too show the rest of the league his team feels no pressure from the turmoil

so will the Firebirds come out breathing fire?
or will the turmoil from the preseason simply mean they sizzle out?

stay tuned to find out

(LOL some great use of ban puns there :P )

[ossie85]

Yes Judds second injury a cause for concern.

Great write up!

I reckon ill cause some upsets and lose pretty badly at times

[DazBurg]

and now we have reached the half way mark in terms of form best 5 lowest average to highest and the 5th team is

So The Monsoon's are perched at around mid pack currently of course head coach Boomz wouldn't be too upset with the likes of Andrew Swallow and Harley Bennell just coming back right now form injury tp give the side an added boost coming into the serious stuff

of course the main shining light is their marque player in Scott Pendlebury who as usual has not missed a beat with the likes of Matthew Jaensch and Shaun Burgoyne filling the void left by Swallow and Bennell

the Monsoon have 5 averaging 100 or over with Pendlebury, Sidebottom, Burgoyne and Jaensch sand Jacbos those 5 but as stated before Swallow and Bennell Boomz will be looking to step up into that 100 bracket when the real stuff begins

so atm with the team mid table and swallow and bennell missing and Goldstein under performing Boomz would feel his side has alot more improvement to come

Will the Monsoon Improve with players coming back?
or will the fact they have had players miss so much footy hurt their overall performances?

[DazBurg]

ok gang sorry again for not posting some more will catch up on it all now and tihnk i will do the rest now
so next up after Boomz team is....

The Cobra's who many co-coaches seem to think will be one of the top contenders and that seems about right finding themselves cruising along nicely
with the likes of NDS, Sloane, JPK, S.Mitchell, Harvey, and Priddis - all averaging 100 or over


the bad note of course is the rumors going round of S.Mitchell having done an injury in the pre-season and weather he will be back in time to have a big an impact as we all expected though Head coach Ringo has kept tight lipped on this topic not confirming anything of the sort yet

the other worry for the Cobra's would have to be ROK is age catching up to the once dominate player? his form does not seem that good at all atm. But i'm sure Head coach Ringo would be backing him to come good when the real stuff starts
and the other worry would be the consistent injury interruptions to Hanley's pre season with the very talented player having no luck at all with alot of nagging issues popping up all the time

so can the Cobra's fulfill the confidence in them that most seem to have
or will the Cobra's get a shocking dose of reality and find they were not quite their yet?

[DazBurg]

so i'll post another one soon but if anyone is on in the meantime
any thoughts on what the final four will look like?

(teams left are Myself, Nigey, KB and JB)

who will get number 1? anyone think they can pick the correct order of the whole 4?
