Leagues 2021 SCS Premier League (Congrats GV Vikings FFC)

[Lost In The Sky]

Can I get a volunteer to give the Round 16 Preview & Review a crack and give everyone a different perspective on things?

 

[Courtesans]

Thanks LITS. A bit of canned crowd noise for Pay the Mark. Been two big marks over the round.

ROUND 15 REVIEW

View attachment 31737

Match of the Round

Jibrangers v PC
Prediction: Jibrangers to prove that little too strong and take out the win by 21 points View attachment 31739
Result: A great match of the round. Coach Sho threw everything at his opposition but it just wasn't enough. Most of his men performed as expected, though he would have liked more from Heeney and his Captain Big Max Gawn. What a fantastic performance by Coach Jack and his troops though, with an equal highest League score for the round. There where winners everywhere, but a great Captains choice and a standout fill-in performance by Highnore got him over the line. That's five wins in the last six weeks now for his men!!


Other Matches

Beasts FC v Rons Badboys View attachment 31740
Prediction: A Flip of the coin match… Rons Badboys by 33
Result: Coach Ben came into this one needing a lift from his men... and he got it. A couple of low scores from his senior players would have had him worried, but an inspired Captain's choice and some Sunday heroics from Walsh got the job done. Coach David can't be too upset at the way his men performed, though youngster Edwards was expected to show a lot more than what he did. Unfortunately the loss brings to an end his three game win streak.


SuperCoachScores v Philzsay View attachment 31741
Prediction: Philzsay to knock off the Grand Master and win by 51 points
Result: It's never fun when you look at the fixture and see you're facing Coach Jay and his troops... But Coach Phil was more than up for the challenge. He had winners across every line and looked like he always had this one in the bag. Coach Jay just didn't have the required firepower to get the job done. Some poor efforts Hawkins, Heeney & Stewart certainly didn't help the cause. For the man that was on fire just a few weeks back... He has now suffered two pretty large losses in a row. Slightly concerning.


Diabolical Rabble v Pay The Mark View attachment 31742
Prediction: Pay The Mark to pull off a huge upset and win by 37 points
Result: What a result... On paper it was 1st vs 18th... But Coach Mark and his merry men pulled out an inspired performance to stun the whole Premier League. Strong efforts across the board and a super individual effort from Zorko was enough to see his men sing the song and record a third win for the season. As for coach Andrew, he had under performers everywhere, and you just can't give your opposition a sniff if you want to stay on top of the ladder. The loss brings to an end his four game winning streak and leaves his coach with a few questions as to what just happened.


Brownie's Bandits v Courtesans View attachment 31743
Prediction: Courtesans to prove too strong and win by 66 points
Result: Coach Iain would have liked to have thought he was in with a chance this week against his good mate Coach Keith... But it was not to be. The likes of Stewart, Hall, Poulter, Edwards and Heeney all where really poor. Sadly that's seven losses in the last nine matches now, and all hope of finals is gone. Coach Keith however would be thrilled with what is a well deserved win. His men performed to a high standard and led by the returning Grundy as captain, they powered to a great win. Another good win now sees him back on track and looking to secure a good finals spot.


Jaca's Attackers v The Darkness View attachment 31744
Prediction: Jaca’s Attackers to make the needed adjustments and get a hard fought win by 47 points
Result: What a beauty!! A cracker of a match and a great performance by Coach Jason to get the win with a huge Sunday effort from Walsh to drag his team across the line. Exactly what was needed after the efforts of the last two weeks. Coach Adrian tried every trick in the book to get this one, but it was not enough. Ultimately he'll look two senior players Stewart & Hall in the eye and demand a better effort from them as that's three losses in a row now.


Goodie's Guns v TailsPower x
Prediction: Really hard one to tip… But TailsPower in a thriller by 10 points
Result: A thriller was predicted... And Thriller was what we got!! Coach Tim would be a relieved man to get that one, He had a few under performers but it didn't matter in the end, the team came together as one and pulled it off to make it three wins in a row. Coach Adrian though would be disappointed, He had some big efforts from his players but the failure of Docherty on Sunday ultimately cost his team a win.


MADMUNZA v Blaze of Glory View attachment 31746
Prediction: MADMUNZA to respond and win a close one by 28 points
Result: Coach Matt needed a response from his many after several big losses... and they delivered. Led by the little man Zorko, and with a nice effort from youngster Briggs, it was enough to get the much needed win and end the losing streak. I'm guessing a few beers would have been on the cards after that one. Coach Tom didn't perform bad, but he lacked that real stand-out effort from a senior player to drag him across the line. Unfortunately that was loss number three from his last four games, so I don't think the beers would have been flowing in his teams rooms this week.


Ricky Bobby v GV Vikings FFC View attachment 31747
Prediction: Ricky Bobby to continue the good form and win by 39 points
Result: What a performance from Coach James and his men this week... with an equal League topping score. He could do no wrong it seems. It started off with a bang from little man Zorko, and finished with an inspiring effort from Macrae as Captain. You couldn't ask for more than what he got from his troops this week. Coach Ashley just couldn't get his men to rise to the occasion this week, you look across the team and there was good efforts everywhere, but when you are facing a red hot team... you just need more. What would be of concern is a third loss from his last four matches... That needs to end next week.



A solid 6/9 Predictions this week. Couldn't back up last weeks effort unfortunately.

Well done @jaca, huge score this week!

Trade Round Up Round 15



Trade Observations...
1 Coach traded in Jake Stringer hoping for a repeat of his mammoth score from last week
2 Coaches traded in Patrick Dangerfield hoping for a return to his high scoring ways
3 Coaches thanked him for his service (and cash increase) and gave Lachie Jones the flick
6 Coaches where not happy at having to trade the injured Jarman Impey out
7 Coaches would be annoyed at Luke Edwards scoring just 22 after his fantastic first couple of games

Can I get a volunteer to give the Round 16 Preview & Review a crack and give everyone a different perspective on things?

Any Takers?

 

[PC]

Any Takers?

I would love to LiTS but work is smashing me at the moment and turning one computer off at 9pm and another one on at 9:01pm isn't very appealing! Hopefully it will settle down soon and I can do a write up or two.

Surely there is someone out there willing to give it a crack?!

 

[Philzsay]

I've been smashed by work and life too atm, hopefully will be able to do one sometime next month.

Any Takers?

@Lost In The Sky I'll give you the week off and do the preview for you this week.

I need to tip my opposition to put the mozz on them so I can get a win

Much appreciated mate!!

 

[Beg2Differ]

Any Takers?

I will put my hand up at some point @Lost In The Sky but too busy celebrating this week after my little bunch of Davids toppled the top placed Goliaths.

Seriously though setting up a new house this week so totally out of routine and will struggle to get to my regular weekly contributions without committing to something extra.

You are a star Ash

 

[Deeman1]

Sorry everyone, getting smashed at work today, will get the preview up before tomorrow's game.

Will also give me a better look at the teams.

Don't apologise, you were the only one of us to put your hand up. Unfortunately EOFY has made a few of us let work take over from the more enjoyable aspects of life!!

 

[Bomber18]

Am I the only one to cop all of Impey, Doch and Neale injuries (and Madden)…..??

My chances to make finals slipped in the space of seven days….

I think someone must have got these league numbers mixed up. Surely the premier league should be the ones doing better???

Only took us 14 weeks to turn the ship around!

I've only got 2, Impey was going this week anyway, not sure what I'm doing with Neale yet

But I think you may be the clubhouse leader

I've got Impey and was already planning to also trade Madden in order to get Impey up to a better player.
I don't have the other two and feel a bit sick at the thought of what that means for your team ... good luck with that

Yeah, I've fallen in a hole a bit, been letting the P2 league down lately with some shocking scores. Good work everyone on improving after the slow start.

As much as all injuries suck, I'm liking that a lot of these recent injuries are happening to players I don't have, as it's about the only way I will get back into it this year - if everyone else falls back to my level. I did cop Impey though, which hurt my team and as a Hawks fan also.

Nope, Darkie also has copped all four injuries, and Jaca has copped Neale, Docherty and Madden. So you are not alone.

I thankfully only copped Impey (Would have been just plain cruel to have copped more after how many I've copped this year)... But that Impey injury was enough to ensure I don't complete my team this year.
