WXV Round 15: Destroyers/Suns in Pre-Finals Battle

[Nige]

I would have thought a forward averaging 100+ for your seniors would be your F1 nigey... F3 seems an insult  :-\

It took me a while to actually understand this.  :-[ :o

I was thinking to myself: "But his average is only like 40-something..."  :P

Three changes to the side that defeated the Islanders last week, with two of them forced due to injury. Out of the side go Ablett (injured), Jones (injured) and Adams (omitted), replaced by the rested and reinvigorated Minson, young defender Buntine and debutante Ben Jacobs. Jacobs was part of the deal that saw himself and Jake Stringer arrive at the Pumas with promising midfielder and 2 time Gatinho winner Mitch Duncan heading to the Tigers. Despite not having the greatest form in the lead up to the match he has committed himself at training and is raring to replay the faith of head coach Honey Badger.


In the absence of captain Gary Ablett, Rory Sloane and Sam Jacobs have agreed to split captaincy duties this week against the Cobras, showing a united front in this time where the others need strong leaders around them.

Go PUMAS!

Nice to see everyone name their team this week :)

This WXVs season can't end soon enough. Everyone and everything has turned to shower.

That ridiculously good start to the season was nothing but a purple patch.

Even if we make finals, I daresay we'll be nothing but a witch's hat.  :(

Content with Sloane doing well as I brought him in SC, but Jacobs and Wright need to stahp! :(

I also brought him in this week :)

Need Roughy to pick it up though (but Adelaide to win) :)

Aw man, was at work for final teams and wasn't expecting a recall for Rory Lobb this week so we've got Grundy (who isn't even an emg) on field, with Lobb nowhere to be seen :'(

Not good enough imo.

Douglas has fallen off from last year. Breust is up and down lately. Smith just came off two terrible games. Puopolo probs the only player that got what I expected from him last night.  :P

So... Hartman isn't the sub for Geelong. If he outscores Dunstan, I might rage.
