So the Kingfishers are comng in at 4th atm in preseason and head coach Nigey has his team flying
even despite coming out already and talking down his ruckman in the Kreuzer
was this a tactic to fire the boys up? perhaps and if so what a masterstroke!
currently the kingfishers have - A.Treloar, D.Swallow, Jack Redden, Prestia, Ward, Heppell, Dahlhaus, Congilio, all averging over 100
with only Kane Cornes and the Injured Matthew Kreuzer under the 100 mark (and Cornes is at 94)

it is fair to say that head coach Nigey does have a selection dilemma on his hands
picking the right mix each week could be the difference between a win and a loss

so the only negative would seem to be have they peaked too early?
or will they simply roll with this form into the season proper

[DazBurg]

so now comes the time for the final 3
coming in at 3rd atm is

the Stingrays are flying in 3rd place with marque player Ablett doing what he does best and that is absolutely smashing it
and 2nd marque in Fyfe doing himself Justice as well

Head Coach Kilbluff would be happy with - Ablett, Fyfe, N.Jones, Stokes, Zorko, Parker all averaging 100 or over
J.Kelly slips in at just under with 97
the worry of course is Ziebell, Ball and Vince are averaging under
with Ziebell the most concerning as alot more would be expected then the current average of 67

but i'm sure Kilbluff is working with these 3 in getting them prime at the right time when things start for real

the only things left to wonder is
will Ablett and Fyfe continue to dominate helping the stringrays rise up to the top?
or will they fail to get the rest of the supporting cat to peak at the right times hurting them overall?

[kilbluff1985]

choosing between Zorko and Parker each week will be a headache

[DazBurg]

coming in at number 2 so far in the preseason is

Melbourne Gladiators (DazBurg)                        
Cap remaining: $0                        
                        
1. Michael Barlow $2,600,000   132   117   DNP   DNP   DNP   DNP      124.5

Best 5   682   651   572   667   584   607      627.1666667


The Gladiators were very quiet in the early bidding process but it seems to have worked out so far for head coach DazBurg
with the likes of - Barlow, Deledio (both prior to injury) , Beams, N.Riewoldt, Boyd, Sandilands, Wines, Macrae, Rioli
all averaging 100 or over
with only Chapman at 99.2 failing to hit the 3 figure mark for average

Head Coach DazBurg while seemingly taking so much time to bid was busy recruiting in the coaches box having sounded out the likes of Hellopplz, Holzman and Luvfooty in regards to their in depth knowledge in regards to footy having them jump on board

of course the worry for the Gladiators has got to be injuries with Barlow and deledio having missed games already
and the likes of Sandilands, Chapman and Rioli have always had the question marks over their consitent fitness

so can the Gladiators take the title bandaids and all
or will the injury toll rise and be too much too overcome?

[nrich102]

I should have Macrae  >:(

[DazBurg]

so that leaves at the number 1 spot

Montreal Maple Leafs (JBs-Hawks)                        
Cap remaining: $0                        
                        
1. Steve Johnson $2,800,000   116   145   79   150   141   110      123.5

3. Matt Leuenberger $1,700,000   79   84   74   0   DNP   DNP      59.25
4. Marc Murphy $900,000   122   121   80   72   153   148      116
5. Robert Murphy $850,000   118   106   89   90   64   92      93.16666667
6. Shane Mumford $800,000   132   158   164   DNP   DNP   DNP      151.3333333

10. Ben Cunnington $150,000   92   74   120   126   82   95      98.16666667
                        
Total Team   914   1054   1052   756   871   903      925
Best 5   605   633   631   575   650   685      629.8333333


The Maple Leafs are the number 1 team so far in the preseason with some fantastic performances put up by their players

Head Coach Jb would be most impressed with - S.Johnson, Montagna, M.Murphy, O'Meara, Hibberd and Mumford(last here only due to injury) - all averaging 100 or over and most of them having posted monster scores in some rounds the type of scoring that will be the difference between a win and a loss
Cunnington also is close with a average of 98.16

the worry for JB though would be the injuries are starting to mount but thankfully most are slighter injuries rather then prolonged ones but still the likes of - Leuenberger, Franklin and Mumford having had some form of injury issues forcing them to miss games so far in the pre season

so the question is can JB guide his men to maintain their reign at the top
or will more soldiers fall as the season wears on and take it's toll?

[DazBurg]

so the final ladder so far looks like

Istanbul Eagles (The Pelican) -       547.83                  
Dhaka Dinosaurs (nrich102) -       553.83                  
Christmas Island Dreams (Master Q) -       558.66                  
Phoenix Firebirds (ossie85) -       560.83                  
Jakarta Monsoon (Boomz) -       568.5                  
Bangalore Cobras (Ringo) -      586.83                  
Kiev Kingfishers (NigeyS) -       604.66                  
Singapore Stingrays (kilbluff1985) -       613                  
Melbourne Gladiators (DazBurg) -       627.16                  
Montreal Maple Leafs (JBs-Hawks) -       629.83

Kreuzer's not getting a game. Ever.
