Grand Final Lodgement and Banter Threads

[Ringo]

We now reach the Grand final stage and fittingly the teams that finished 1st and 2nd on the table play off for the Premiership Cup.

Premiership Plate.
Winchester Werewolves v Liverpool Rams
Both teams were very impressive in their Preliminary Final wins. Who will prevail? If Rams Ruckman and Captain Todd Goldstein can get over Werewolves Ruck Ivan Maric and get the ball first then they have the ability to muzzle the Werewolves rampant midfield.  If however they are just a little off their game the Werewolves midfield will run wild and they have the forward power to capitilise. Expecting a nice hard game but not with a lot of confidence Werewolves to get over the Rams.

Plate Final
Manchester Magic v Oxford Owls
Take notice coaches you still have not been eliminated.
This will be a very interesting match. Will the Magic keep moving their Captain around to keep the Owls guessing? Which team from both sides will turn up as both teams have put in stinkers this year. Toss of the coin for me and it came down Owls which means Magic will win with my Fantasy efforts this year.

Teams to be lodged in this thread by bounce of Geelong/Collingwood game on Friday night.

Note: No home ground advantage or bonuses for Grand Finals.

I want to take a moment to state how lucky I am to get the Werewolves without GAJ and Fyfe...

Liverpool Rams

D: B.Houli, G.Birchall, J.Gibson, S.Wright
M: D.Heppell, A.Treloar (vc), H.Hartlett, L.Dunstan

Laverde gets to play his second game in the grand final and Matt Thomas' first game of the season is in the grand final but as supersub.

EDIT: Late change with Trav out, Benny Brown in his place and Jack Lonie into the emergencies.

Checked my AXVs team like 5 times too, not sure why I didnn't with this.

Admin would have sent a PM to advise when he checked teams anyway. Happens quite a few times during the season by the way.

Absolutely disgusting effort.

Congrats on the win Rusty.

Certainly not the highest scoring GF of all time

It's not over yet either. Can't say I'm that confident given all the low scores so far.

Current lead is 430 and I have only Dunstan to play. To even have half a shot at winning he needs to ton (unlikely given he's done it like three times I think this year and plays Sydney). Then you'll probs get a ton from captain Priddis which is 200 and will only need 300 from Sheppard, Tex, Lynch and Hickey. Average of 75 per player. More likely you'll only need about 250 from them, which is like an average of 62.5 or something from them which is almost a certainty.

[Nige]

To remove any doubt, Luke Dunstan is the sub for the Saints.

Oh well, time to look to 2016.

[Rusty00]

Told you it wasn't over. Hickey subbed for 17, Dunstan on. Priddis only scored 77.

What a shower of a week
