Where the clubs sit
The Bombers - WWWLL - Currently 5th and guaranteed Finals
With a win - will stay 5th as percentage won't move them up ladder
With a loss - can slip to as far as 7th.
What this means - not much as the Bombers have shown a club can win it all from a lower spot in the 8 come finals time.
The Demons - WLLWL - Currently 10th
With a win - And a Bears and Royals loss - can move to 8th
With a loss - Will finish 10th as percentage is bad.
What this means - The Demons leave to much in other teams hands. Their poor percentage means only a win and those 2 teams losing will work. Can they make finals - Yes, so they shouldn't give up yet.
Match ups I would like to see - Lets be honest I only care about the Ruck contest
Ruck - Matty411 vs DemonJim -
matty had to bide his time due to KohPhi not admitting how bad a ruckman he was. (ok he had a lock on the Tarkyn_24 team of the week) - but my statement stands, his stamina to last a full season just wasn't there, and I had his measure.
DemonJim is new to this position as well, either that or a very bad ruckman. Seriously though the Demons LG holds the Ruck position with contempt and has used 4 players in their this season.
Players in the hunt for top 5 finishes in Stat catagories
Bombers - NIL - this is a team that doesn't rely on individual efforts - As 2 x premiership team, they know what it takes to win a s a team. Maybe other teams need to take note.
Of note - DT stat - The first Bomber on the list is Tony Lynn 15 at position 27 on 1094 points - This is in stark contrast of my team the Wonders who have 5 x players in the Top 20 in DT points.
Demons -
sante - 338 posessions - 3rd - 10 behind Tommycash - (hard to see him overtake him)
166 kicks - 4th - 13 behind Blaze Storm
172 Handballs - 4th - 16 behind Tommycash
Yakker - 108 Tackles - 1st - 3 in front of Elton Johns Wig
1296 DT points - 2nd - 60 points behind Blaze Storm (Needs SIM to do his work early - quite funny really so do I so I can overtake Blaze Storm in hitouts - joint prayer Yakker?)
Bono Predicts
Demons beat Bombers by 26 points - to still miss finals, Bombers to finish 6th
Good luck to both sides this week
Captains please remember to post the Official Team Sheets by 11.59pm Melbourne time on Thursday
