First Round of Finals - Scores to Saturday night

by Guest Sat Aug 07, 2010 1:50 pm

Ridgeback 212 (6 players to go) v Terriers 257 (4 players to go) - this is not over yet.

Raptors 270 (7 players to go) v Warthogs 194 (8 players to go ) - again, too close to call.

Bangers 257 (5 players to go) v Maulers 246 (6 players to go) - this is a recording

Spartans 211 (7 players to go) v Gladiators 248 (6 players to go) - Gladiators have called this a win.

Not sure if this is helpful but, clearly, Sunday's games are crucial.

Hayes needs 100 to make our game interesting Gerry.
It most certainly is over.

Surely the 'Tea Sipping Hippee' couldn't be a dual premiership coach.

by **Macca** Sat Aug 07, 2010 3:02 pm

He may well be...yes.
Given he has Cross, Hodge and Goddard I will be claiming it as my own.

by **croz** Sat Aug 07, 2010 3:27 pm

I guess I should have beeen checking scores during the year!

I make:

Ridegbacks 202 v 257

Raptors 260 v 194

Bangers 247 v Maulers 195

Gladiators 298 v Spartans 232

A factor could be that I don't make substitutions for players that are out until Sunday.
So you may have included points for substituted players.
However, some are a concern - eg the Maulers, Gladiators scores.

Ridgebacks 212 - did you add the HGA?
Raptors 270 - oh, oh! HGA the difference again?
Bangers 257 - reoccuring theme here.

However, Maulers 195 - is correct. I put the wrong Scott Thompson in, again!
Spartans - again, don't forget HGA. I haven't substitued Hentschel yet. Maybe that makes a difference.

Gladiators - I haven't substituted Barlow or Morton as yet. That should make up the difference.

My tackle count is hiding my poor goal-kickers (one between two lumps) and markers (total of eight).

This week, the Ridgies haven't done much better in goals. Ridgeback markers haven't even played yet.

So premiership talk is premature (Andy?) and even this week's outcome is still in the balance.

All it needs is a blinder from Lenny, and I am stuffed.

by **croz** Sun Aug 08, 2010 1:43 am

Yeah...me calling a victory on Saturday night was just dumb.

Montagna still hasnt played. Riewoldt could kick a bag against the 1.3 that my goal kickers kicked combined.

Cox!? anyone want Cox?? wanker.

Damn red wine!

My team has done about as much as it can and is sitting on 371.

It's all up to the Ridgebacks now.

by **croz** Sun Aug 08, 2010 7:54 am

I have you on 374.

BTW: Robert Murphy out.

So...in the week leading up to this round I lost both my starting markers and both my starting goal kickers.

What next!!??

by **Jason** Sun Aug 08, 2010 8:06 am

No offence Croz but I would hardly be complaining about your luck.

Yes both your markers were out but in comes Hannebery who is avg 4.8 marks a game this year and gets 8. Then comes in Redden who is avg 5.4 and gets 7. Not to mention the fact that I have one of my markers out with injury in the first qtr.

And yes your goal kickers have hurt you, but Luke Ball with his 2nd highest ever tackle count has negated that this week.

by **croz** Sun Aug 08, 2010 8:14 am

Yes, probably not the time to complain...(although I have not once complained about playing teams each week who have mega scores against me and send me to 7th) Rolling Eyes

For the record...Ben Johnson was my 2nd reserve marker, not Hanneberry. Johnson got 3.

Yeah, that sucked about Ben Reid going down after 4 minutes. That is one of those areas in our game where we cant do anything about it substitution-wise. I guess I was 'lucky' that my markers were ruled out before which gave me the opportunity to replace them. Not sure what the solution is there.

You will probably agree right now that this game can suck arse sometimes.

by Megabonus Sun Aug 08, 2010 8:15 am

gee croz......wha wha wha.....

i have both tacklers, a marker and goal kicker out..... why dont you draft with depth in mind?????

by **croz** Sun Aug 08, 2010 8:17 am

I draft with kicking your arse in mind First Round of Finals - Scores to Saturday night 967788

by **croz** Sun Aug 08, 2010 8:57 am

Wow...some close games with 1/2 a game to go.

Ridgebacks need 50 possessions to win between Griffen and Vince (both on 12), assuming Cross doesnt reach 55 All Star Points (12pts to 1/2 time).

Also assuming that I have a correct score of 374 for Terriers.

Raptors and Warthogs are obviously the Crows and Bulldogs specialists as both have 5 players each in this last game. Close, but I am calling a Raptors victory.

Bangers 319 (Stevens in marks) are being chased down by Scott Thompson (54 All Star points to 1/2 time), Cooney, Van Berlo and Walker. Maulers on 257 before start of last game.

Yup sorry my bad, for some reason I though Hanneberry was your 2nd reserve Embarassed

Yes I found this year's loss much harder to swallow than last year where I was also lost in the first round of the finals. Not because I was playing a injury riddled Glads team but because 3 weeks ago my team was avg 395+ for a 6 week period. I honestly never had high hopes for this year but thanks to that 6 week period I thought I was hitting form at the right end of the season. Oh well theres always next year.

by **croz** Sun Aug 08, 2010 9:10 am

Thats why I believe the Raptors will win the flag this year. His players are red hot at the moment!

Damn it!!!!!!

by **Macca** Sun Aug 08, 2010 9:15 am

Nah Raptors wont win it.

Nah, Terriers have me covered...Griffen and Vince wont get 15 between them in the last quarter in this weather.

Griffen only had 4 in the 3rd.

Thing is, I have probably had the more even performance but Ling and Howletts 23 tackles will mean you need some extraordinary performances...which my mob couldn't muster.

Congratulations Gez, you work bloody hard in this game and I cannot begrudge you some terrific luck with those tackle scores.

Box seat for you now.

by **croz** Sun Aug 08, 2010 10:22 am

May have conceded too soon??

by Guest Sun Aug 08, 2010 10:23 am

Sounds like he has conceded, Croz?
Does that count?

by **Macca** Sun Aug 08, 2010 10:26 am

Holy f***.
I cannot believe it.
I went to bath Jack and I have got up!!!
Gerry, you deserved to win mate...you really did.

by **croz** Sun Aug 08, 2010 10:30 am

Ridgebacks have officially conceded and therefore I announce that the Terriers have won. Congratulations, Gerry.

Man, Vince killed you in the last 1/4.

Bullshit, although the HGA played a part.
As I said, the large tackle count hid huge holes in the rest of my team.
I didn't watch the stats after half time of the Crows game. Looks like Vince had a blinder in the last. Where did you get him from? (Heroeeees! First Round of Finals - Scores to Saturday night Icon_mad

)

I think I play the Maulers next week - so those holes will need some super plaster or else I am out in straight sets.

by **Macca** Sun Aug 08, 2010 11:07 am

Here's a tip; play Didak.
I was STAGGERED you had him out.

by Guest Sun Aug 08, 2010 11:22 am

Macca, I have had him for the last two years.
It has been my experience that he goes missing in big games. He had 20 touches in the last game against Geelong.
His form in the last three weeks has been fantastic - and I think that he may have shaken off that tag, but I couldn't take the chance.
He is back in the team against the Maulers but only as a possession player.

by **Macca** Sun Aug 08, 2010 11:29 am

Yes, and the thing is...as his coach, you do know him best...his ebbs and flows.

BUT, he is a confidence player who just realised he can take on and beat anyone. He is playing with rare bravado. He is playing with the agility of a cat and in my mind is a poofteenth away from being absolute elite.

I would have him in AS...Cross in possies.

But...your call.

by Megabonus Sun Aug 08, 2010 11:35 am

didak has been in great form.......

but I couldn't take the chance.

isnt that what the 3rd all start position is for????
