Skooks Cup: Semi-Finals

[Pie 4 Life]

Skooks Cup Semis: AFL Round 8

---

SF1: Classy Gentlemen vs. City Oval Plovers

Classy Gentlemen

(9) Missing: Trent Cotchin, Dustin Martin, Shaun Grigg, Alex Rance, Tom Hawkins, Zac Smith, Steven Motlop, Charlie Dixon, Corey Enright

Classy Gentlemen go into their match with six of their best side out and some shocking form in the LFFL. Just one win from four matches, the side that was expected to finally make that step to compete for a top four place has been disappointing. They still have a number of solid scorers, but the loss of Cotchin and Martin in particular will hurt them, with Josh P. Kennedy needing to have a huge game.

City Oval Plovers

(9) Missing: Jesse White, Jimmy Bartel, Joel Selwood, Aaron Black, Owen Stephenson, Shaun Hampson, Ryan Bastinac, Jordie McKenzie, Ivan Maric

City Oval Plovers will be missing about four to five of its best side through the bye, but will still be the likely winners given form and the outs of Classy Gentlemen. City Oval Plovers currently sit second on the LFFL ladder with three wins from four matches and will be looking to win here given the Mozzie Bites will have a number of players out next week.

Odds:
Classy Gentlemen $3.50
City Oval Plovers $1.50

SF2: Mozzie Bites vs. The Repeaters

Mozzie Bites

(3) Missing: Josh Caddy, Dawson Simpson, Shaun Atley

A full-strength Mozzie Bites in terms of bye related outs is expected to make light work of The Repeaters. Missing guys who only fill in due to injury, the Mozzie Bites are unbackable favourites here and with their opponents struggling to fill a side due to bye outs alone, they should get the job done and reach yet another Skooks Cup final.

The Repeaters

(9) Missing: Scott Pendlebury, Dayne Beams, Ben Cunnington, Matthew Stokes, James Kelly, Tom Lynch, Tom Nicholls, Heritier Lumumba, Jarrod Harbrow

Not much to say here other than six of my seven best players are out, so this will be so one-sided I'll be lucky to score 200. Going to be a long weekend and won't want to do the scores come Monday...

Odds:
Mozzie Bites $1.05
The Repeaters $30.00

Skooks Cup winner odds:

City Oval Plovers $2.50
Mozzie Bites $3.50
Classy Gentlemen $15.00
The Repeaters $50.00

As you can see, with Winderlich and Carrazzo not getting up I'm probably not going score 200.

Clearly amos will need a new change of pants coming up against this almighty outfit

As soon as I saw James Kelly out, I fist pumped. He has smashed me in every game every year since LFFL's inception.

If your utility can't beat Andrew Carrazzo, you're in real strife.

Oh please if you're counting this imminent victory as a real victory over a half-ravaged eight man team then you are getting pretty desperate

Even the Wolves would beat this side, not exactly much of an achievement.

Anyone catch Libba's game last night?

 

[Jordie_tackles]

Was at the game, he is a jerk

How doare you talk about my players like that. BUT FWIW, is that because you were;
a) getting pissed off at him for intervening with the Griffin tag seeing you're a Demon?
b) had a run in to him prior or after the game?
c) support the Repeaters.
d) trying to cyber bully me into trading him at a deflated price, or
e) another reason.

Depends is he going cheap? Nah saw his stats sheet and him getting a bit of the ball, no son Tyson, generally annoyed at losing that game. Like Libba as a fantasy player

WHY THE * DID I NAME ELLIOT? HE EVEN PLAYS IN MY AFL SUPPORTED TEAM AND I KNEW WE HAD THE BYE LOL

 

[Pie 4 Life]

Cornes 74 (37x2c)
Hurley 38
Ballantyne 8.5
Henderson TBA
Hartlett 30
West 38
Chapman 77
= 265.5 (One to play)

Ironically aside from Ballantyne, the scores are quite solid for my reserve team (bar Cornes who is a starter)

LOL I outscored sr20 last week and I only have seven players...

Geez without Libba the seven players you had totalled 179.. Imagine if he had of been a late withdrawal

 

[Pie 4 Life]

Riewoldt and Simpson to be late withdrawals and Henderson to kick 12

Managers do silly things when they see the "versus Mozzie Bites" in the fixture.

 

[Pie 4 Life]

If there was ever an untradable, Libba's it mate. It's a constatnt reminder

Managers say silly things when they see the "versus The Repeaters" in the fixture.
