15 rounds down & Buddy’s working on the restored 4 weeks on, 1 week off system. Goddard out this week did some damage as well. But, our Barlow “wild card” in Daniel Connors was red hot.

Matthew Boyd has been a fantastic pick with some very solid games including his 142 against Carlton

Kick2Kick League Round 15 Review
Bomber cyborgs 1914 def Cash Or Clunkers 1,733
Sean’s Best: Hargrave, Ablett, Bartel, Selwood, Cooney, Sandilands, Franklin, Rockliff
My Best:
It looked okay for me until the late game when Griffen needed to score an impossible 400 points after Mattner & McMahon didn’t play. Four Dogs to one in the final game with a 100 pt lead just wasn’t enough.
Germinators 2,240 def Joden Warriors 1,863
Jermayn’s Best: Malceski, Hargrave, Swan, Montagna, Ablett, Gibbs, Boyd, Cooney, Sandilands, Chapman, Franklin, Rockliff
Jodie’s Best: Malceski, Kennelly, Swan, Ablett, Bartel, Cox, Chapman, Rockliff
The boss did it again easily even without Goddard. Not a bad “in” for Franklin next week. Cats & Blues let Jodie down this week.
Nambucca Axemen 2,125 def Half Back Flanker 1,963
Deano’s Best: Malceski, Hargrave, Montagna, Dal Santo, Griffen, Sandilands, Rioli, Rockliff
Darren’s Best: Swan, Ablett, Cooney, Sandilands, Goodes, Franklin
Deano now jumps into the top 8 with twinkle toes Rioli paying him back very well. Goddard’s absence makes the defence look the worst scorers in a top scoring effort.
Darren’s Goddard dilemma increased with the risk of Grimes left in, but Gumbleton a late withdrawal.
Grey Wet Sydney 2,205 def Mopar 1,754
Justin’s Best: Goodwin, Kennelly, Ablett, Gibbs, Cooney, Judd, Black, Sandilands, Goodes, Franklin
George’s Best: Kennelly, Swan, Ablett, Sandilands, Franklin
The 1st upset in a month saw Justin’s left field picks all come together. Goodwin now is a profit maker, Judd & Gibbs were the only Blues that turned up & Goodes decided to play. Barry Hall out this week.
The Juddanaut 2,020 def BullDogz 1,609
Jason’s Best: Malceski, Hargrave, Kennelly, Montagna, Ablett, Gibbs, Judd, Rich, Chapman, Rockliff
Mike’s Best: Lake, Ablett, Selwood, Boyd, Rich, Sandilands
That realistically puts Mike out of the top 8 race thanks to a forward line flop & still keeping Hille. Could be worse, though. He could be me.
Princess’ Cats 2,056 def Chardy’s Champs 2,028
Arianna’s Best: Kennelly, Swan, Ablett, Bartel, Sandilands, Franklin, Rockliff
Lisa’s Best: Kennelly, Bartel, Selwood, Watson, Deledio, Rioli
The Princess must like the close ones as she gets over the line by what equates to 7 tackles. I’m surprised Watson scored so much for the Champs considering, as a Bombers supporter, he played……can’t print that, sorry.
Benditos 2,083 def iTeam 2,021
Ben’s Best: Malceski, Hargrave, Swan, Montagna, Ablett, Bartel, Dal Santo, Gibbs, Cox, Chapman
Anthony’s Best: Kennelly, Swan, Ablett, Gibbs, Boyd, Cox, Chapman, Goodes
Anthony blitzed by a midfield that could rival the boss’s team. Having to get used to not writing “Goddard, Hodge, Enright” after 12 weeks is darn hard.
Round 15 Previews
Cash For Clunkers ($2.56) .vs. Joden Warriors ($1.52)
Have to give myself a real chance here if I can get 22 on the park. We may be out of the top 8 finals race, but we’ll help shape it.
Germinators ($1.73) .vs. Bomber cyborgs ($2.12)
Match of the round sees 1st .vs. 3rd. Some would say the boss is due for a loss & his luck could run out soon. But we softened the Cyborgs up for him.
Half Back Flanker ($1.28) .vs. Crimson Sting ($3.75)
A very handy part of the draw for the Flankers with percentage street locked into his GPS.
Bad Boys ($3.16) .vs. Nambucca Axemen ($1.36)
Multi up the Flankers & Deano.
BullDogz ($2.17) .vs. Grey Wet Sydney ($1.69)
The Dogz are also determined to shape the top 8 & Justin needs the win to keep the Flankers out of the top 8.
Chardy’s Champs ($1.90) .vs. iTeam ($1.90)
The Champs can kiss top 8 finals goodbye for 2010 if they lose what could be a ripper of an undercard to the boss/bombers match. Anthony has the 5th biggest percentage in the league right now.
Benditos ($1.82) .vs. Princess’ Cats ($2.00)
The top 4 play each other & 5th to 8th are licking their lips with anticipation of what could happen. This weekend could be a real ladder shaper.
Good luck to all this weekend with some very exciting results ahead.

@ Craig
You are doing an awesome job mate…i look forward to your write ups every tuesday.
For once i had some luck on my side this week with the flankers having no cover for Goddard and Gumbleton. Really needed that victory to stay in touch with the top4. I should have enough firepower to win the next two before my round 18 clash with the boss. Question is should i take him on and try and land a psychological blow or save my trades for the finals???

Take me on Deano!!
