You're a disgrace. What's this life you have outside of FU? Bulls currently hold a slight lead. Tom Lynch's 180 has pulled the home side ahead. Bulls - 921 points scored from 11 players for an ave of 83.7 Still to come - Biggs, Rockliff, McEvoy, Roughy Crocs - 969 from 12 players for an ave of 80.8 Still to come - Jones, Lycett, Gunston
Monarchs 11/850/77.3 vs Prairie Dogs 8/624/78 It's a tight one down in Bass Strait. The visitors were slow out of the gates but huge performances by Oliver (146) and Garlett (152) have made it anyone's game.
It's half-time at the Stadium and the visiting Bunyips have pulled ahead thanks to some mighty efforts from Charlie Cameron 115, Tyson in his first game, 98 and the ever reliable Marchbank down back with 81, to lead the home team 13/859/66 to 9/835/92.8. With his best ever score for the Barcrawlers, Lyons 152 worked very hard to keep the locals in the game. With only 24 points separating the teams, Banchang, with Barrass Tuohy Sinclair Gray Impey and Suckling still to come, should prove too strong for the Bunyips who only have Houston and Polec to take the field....
At 6/9th of the way through the game in Coolgardie, and its the visiting Barracudas @YAD69 leading the way by 124 points. Coolgardie 462 / 8 / 57.8 Groote Eylandt 586 / 7 / 83.7 Seriously... a team average of 58 points!!! Surely I'm on target for the worst ever score for a 15-player 'FU side, with no OOP's. This is incredible how every single one of my players thus far has had a pretty-shitty week.
At 7/9th of the way through the game in Coolgardie, and its the visiting Barracudas @YAD69 leading the way by 275 points. Coolgardie 505 / 9 / 56.1 Groote Eylandt 780 / 9 / 86.7 Its getting worse! An average score is 75 points (3300/44=75), I have Aish on 91 and Astbury on 77, and everyone else is much worse! Meanwhile my opponent has 4 tons... To come: Coolgardie - B Ebert, O Wines, J O'Meara, J Sicily, B Parfitt, J Watts Groote - J Lloyd, J Frawley, D Hanneberry, R Stanley, T Hawkins, S Burgoyne I'm going out now YAD, so there'll be not further updates today.
At 3/4 time at The Stadium, The Barcrawlers have pulled away and lead the Bunyips 13/1161/89.3 to 15/1066/71.1. With Barrass 112 posting his 2nd ton in a row and ably supported by Sinclair 75 and Suckling 73, the locals were too strong for the undermanned visitors, even though Polec 126 and Houston 81 fought their lost cause right to the end. Banchang will hope to markedly improve their percentage when Tuohy and Impey take to the field for the last qtr.
@tyze1 It's a close tussle at the camping grounds of Staghorn Flat. Both teams have copped a donut but Staghorn have had very inconsistent performances, ranging from Lynch's 180 to Rockliff's 17. Bulls - 938 points from 13 players for an ave of 71.2 Crocs - 1056 points from 14 players for an ave of 75.4 It's 118 points and Gunston vs McEvoy and Roughy.
Vikings 1035/13/75 Whalers 973/14/69 All over at Viking Land with the visitors unable to fire any more shots, Vikings two more to come
Reports are circling that Serengeti players are still stuck in 2017 celebration mode as they are headed for a second straight defeat to start the season as they trail 1088/78/14 against an impressive Pakenham outfit 1240/89/14
@TigersTooTough ’s Pearcedale Panthers have finished with an impressive 1361/15/91 leaving it all to do for the visiting Sandgropers 939/11/85. Its not over yet, but with Southern Cross needing 423 points to snatch the win Selwood, Duncan, Rioli & Hardwick will need to pull out all the stops in what shapes as a huge Easter Monday fixture. In other news backup ruckman Roughead looks in doubt for next week potentially leaving the Sandgropers with an OOP player for round three. The Southern Cross Curse has risen to new heights in 2018.
At 8/9th of the way through the game in Coolgardie, and its the visiting Barracudas @YAD69 leading the way by 161 (almost certainly unassailable) points. Coolgardie 777 / 12 / 64.8 Groote Eylandt 938 / 11 / 85.3 To come: Coolgardie - J O'Meara, J Sicily, B Parfitt Groote - J Frawley, R Stanley, T Hawkins, S Burgoyne
Ah yes, I missed him. After a recount, scores as of last night: Bulls - 1008 points from 13 players for an ave of 77.5 Crocs - 1056 points from 14 players for an ave of 75.4 So, now it's 48 points and Gunston vs McEvoy and Roughy.
Monarchs all done on 1188, with Smith a no show. P Dogs 895 with Morrison, Breust, and Shiels to bring it home. @Batfink
Another poor performance by the PDogs, unable to close the gap with too many passengers. It will be a long trip home with a lot of reflecting to do. Well done to the Monarchs.
Full Time at The Stadium see the Barcrawlers notch their first win for the season, defeating the undermanned Blanchetown 1337 to 1066. With 3 players missing, all coming down with Banchang Belly, it was never going to be easy for @martyg and his Bunyips. With the game all done at the end of the 3rd Quarter, only Banchang's Tuohy 99 and Impey 77 were onfield at the final whistle. BOG. 3. Lyons BB 152 2. Polec BBU 126 1. Higgins BB 120 1. Laird BBU 120 BIG TAP. Jacobs BBU def Sinclair BB 116-75. Both teams now head to Australia for Rd3, where Banchang visits Ararat and The Bunyips play host to King Island.....
Full time in Coolgardie, and its brought an end to the home-town misery, as the Prospectors have gone down by 153 points to @YAD69 Groote Eylandt Barracudas, in what can only be described as a terrible display. Coolgardie 993 / 66.2 Groote Eylandt 1146 / 76.4 Full match report to follow. Votes: 3 - O Wines, Coolgardie, 147 2 - J Waite, Groote Eylandt, 125 1 - P Cripps, Groote Eylandt, 115 Big Tap: R Stanley, Groote Eylandt, defeated S Martin, Coolgardie, by 4 points, 67 to 63.
