Round 15 Rewound


 

The Love Sparkles (1978) vs Solomon’s Soldiers (1800)

 

  • Alex actually posted a decent total with 6 hundreds

  • Hugh McCluggage (102) posted a century against his old team.

  • So did Lachie Neale (109) but that is a lot less surprising

  • The Love Sparkles scored 1602 last time they played – marked improvement

  • The Soldiers will want to nab a win next week against the Redshins as their next four opponents are all top-five prospects

 

Puttanesca Chiefs (1922) vs Rico’s Roughnecks (1770)

 

  • This match was expected to be close, but Mark never let Adam get going

  • Adam would have lost to Alex this week

  • Adam had three players score below 50 – Mark’s lowest player scored 51

  • Stef Martin (110) has been very good this year

  • Brodie Grundy (151) has been phenomenal this year

  • Mark must have really enjoyed that Geelong game – Dangerfield (100) and Kelly (119) scored very well

 

Defenestrators (2109) vs The Bailout Plan (1733)

 

  • Tom Mitchell scored 195 – come on!

  • The average for the Defenestrators midfield was 118

  • The Nat Fyfe (36) injury hurts the Bailout Plan a lot. He was averaging 110 and now there is only one fit player averaging 100 – Seb Ross (averages 101)

  • At least Fyfe outscored prized Defenestrators draftee Peter Wright (35)

  • In scary news for the rest of us Nick Vlastuin (111) is the latest of Paul’s recruits to start playing inspired football

 

 Such is ‘Fyfe’ vs Shire Scourers

 

  • Jarryd Lyons (113) is back for the Scourers with his first ton since round 6

  • David Armitage (110) also scored big for Nelson with his first ton since Round 23, 2016

  • Such is ‘Fyfe’ still had three nominees for team of the week, but…

  • Nathan’s dockers had a dirty day – Ryan (35), Wilson (60), Sandilands (injured and withdrawn), Mundy (86) and Hill (54).

  • Zach Tuohy’s 99 was wasted for Nelson, who picked Heath Shaw (46) ahead of him

  • Isaac Heeney (18) apparently spent 44% game time on the field even though I barely sighted him. Yet another injury that Nelson finds himself forced to count towards his total

 

Redshins (1369) vs MaherShalalHashBaz (2019)

 

  • I won this match by 650 points. Chris beat me by 250 points last encounter.

  • Chris only had 21 players and 8 of them scored 50 or less

  • Max Gawn (135) was twenty points clear of any of my other players and is my best player this season with daylight second

  • All three of my pies – Chris Mayne, Tom Phillips and Josh Thomas – scored 98

  • I was very nervous in the nineties – 8 nineties in all

Much like Port’s Darcy Byrne-Jones, it appears a whole host of Chris’ team were slightly late to training and were duly rewarded with no place in the starting line-up. Names like Dustin Martin, Nic Natanui, Toby McLean and Liam Shiels were all left out. And indeed, are struggling to convince the coach to let them play again
