Giddy up final 4. 1st Prelim - Atoms @Brett Sanders vs Woylies @port_leschenault - Maralinga leads the H2H 4-0 2nd Prelim - Ducks @thokash vs Noahs - The H2H is tied 3-3, with 1 finals victory apiece Good luck all, hope selection treats you kind.
Ducks v Noahs and the ruck matchup everyone has been screaming for. Visiting Noahs merry-go-round selection continues In- Cripps, Greenwood Out - HH Def - Laird, Haynes, Aliir, Duursma Mid - Sidey, Gaff, Hunter, Ross Ruck - Gawn Fwd - Cripps, Lynch, Walla, Billings (Thomas) IC - Dawson, Greenwood (Fisher) Could really get bitten by a late out or two.
Wow, that is an awful H2H record. Don't think it will change this week, out of contention before the first point scored in anger with some huge outs and the Atoms being just too good.
Best of luck for the prelims fellas. Must admit I've been quiet around here this season due to RL getting in the way, but I had been following comments regularly until 2 weeks ago when my Dad passed away unexpectedly which has completely shattered both Nicky and myself. Atm both Nicky and I are not sure if we will continue next season, but that's a decision that can be left for a few weeks at least - neither of us are capable of focussing enough on anything right now.
I swear I triple checked my team and it still didn't bloody save, god bloody damnit nice sour note to start the weekend off. At least I have 15 playing. Best of luck @That KI Guy EDIT: My bad for posting such a childish response right after @Bearfly 's, hope all is well mate
Maralinga Atoms Prelim team Def - S Hurn, T Stewart, P Davis, W Milera (T Duman) Mid - E Curnow, D Martin, B Crouch, J Redden (O Baker) Ruck - T Goldstein Fwd - J Dunkley, T Kelly, R Gray, C Wingard (J Lukosious) Int - J Berry, S Burgoyne ( M Hibberd) Good luck @port_leschenault May the best team win!!
Huge news from the badlands with Dusty Martin being replaced by youngster Oscar Baker for the reigning ORFFF champs. @Brett Sanders @port_leschenault
Our boys need to toughen up!!! Leaving the kids to do the work while Dusty, Coniglio, McEvoy and Burton all watch from the side lines like cry babys!! @port_leschenault definitely in the box seat to take the win now.
Haha, no box seat here, I've already got at least 3 best XV players out, this is just the Atoms trying to pretend they're mortal which will make a good story on their end-of-season highlights movie.
Really close game between the Atoms and the Woylies. Both teams with some big outs and some huge performances to keep both sides in it. The Atoms come back from the Dusty/Baker double injury blow to score 10/936 @93.6 While huge games from Merrett(116), Witts(117) and the out of form Witherden(121) to go at an almost identical 11/1030 @93.6 Tomorrow sees the Atoms Hurn, Milera, B Crouch, Redden and Curnow battle the Woylies Blakely, Weitering, Yeo and Darling to see who gets to take part in the big dance next week!! Good luck @port_leschenault its gonna be tight!!
Seesawing contest at the Duck Pond. Rucks have beaten each other senseless and both fell unconscious and under par. Ducks feeling the good and the bad of one sided affairs as Tomahawk, Gaz, Rich and Robbo all had a feast but Zaka and the Package should have passed on the stale bread at quarter time. Noahs 8/747 (93) Vs Ducks 11/869 (79) Noahs in the lead as we head into the second half though we still have plenty to play and plenty to potentially go south. Brace for the Sunday shitstorm. @thokash
Definitely a weird day, thought I was back in it after the Bris vs Gold Coast match but then somehow that Essendon thing happened and I got 70 from 8 full quarters! Will definitely need a miracle tomorrow and I don't think any amount of team selection would end up winning it for me.
Sloane KO has shut down any slight chance of a comeback from the Ducks, GG @That KI Guy good luck in the GF I'll get there one day!
It looks like the other prelim final is going down to the wire with a late Jack Darling cameo helping the visitors to keep their noses in front as the match enters time on in the final quarter. @port_leschenault @Brett Sanders
Cheers @thokash Yeah Sloane tracking for a nice score before that friendly fire elbow. Noahs 1305 rocket into another GF appearance at the expense of a quacking average performance from Jan Juc 1188. Not sure who were facing yet. Hopefully not those bloody Atoms again!
Well done @port_leschenault Got me by about 10 to 15 I think. The double injury blow of Dusty/Baker was too much to come back from with the mediocre performances of Hurn and Milera. Good luck in the big dance next week
