[briztoon]

Mitch Robinson.

 

[SizeMatters]

Eel this week.

 

[Dalions]

I'll go the magician!

 

[fanackapan]

Yeah, eel. Tempted by the birthday boy, but I like the length against Sydney's midget (albeit very capable) KPDs. So eel.

 

[Nunez]

Time to back the Zork in.

 

[Requiem]

Mitch Robinson.

Ditto.

 

[Fatcat08]

Well that knocked out a few. A much tougher week in the schache cup with guys like robinson and hipwood costing their punters this week, while Lewy taylors inaccuracy accounted for a few more. Kudos to Jivlain and Skoob who shimmied their way through on the back of Ryan Lester and are sitting pretty with a bunch of options this week. The thread will be opened up to voting once teams have been updated. Those left in the comp are below, good luck to all.

If Fagan is showing faith to Bell then so will I. Kick a bag you bastard!

at least that will be one less contestant i'll have to count next week

 

[leaper]

Getting harder now, Close always manages a goal. Pity I can't pick Roughy though.

 

[Fatcat08]

And then there were two. Congratulations to Skoob and Nunez for making the final of this seasons first Schache Cup. Both swung for the fences on Tom Bell this week and were both rewarded, while choices such as taylor, zorko and schache all their their punters down. Thread will open up for voting once teams are named and I update the list. Best of luck lads, may the least shite win

Sorry Nunez and Skoob

Post your selections in here. I don't have a device that can edit the poll at the moment. Apologies for the delay

 

[Skoob]

You're in the lock up again, huh?

 

[Skoob]

Close for me.

 

[Nunez]

I really want to back our captain in this week, but reckon he'll be smothered.

Close was a safe guess.

Just for the lolz, lets go forward vs. Forward.

Lock in: HAMMER TIME

 

[MacMum]

...and may the best man win! Good luck guys

Congratulation to Nunez on his victory in this years first Shache Cup!! Below is a photo of him during this weeks trophy presentation. I can neither deny nor confirm the rumours that in the aftermath of the presentation he went into whats known as full German Club mode and somehow was drinking out of the trophy (physically i'm not sure how, but a giant hats off to him if he managed it). Feel free to shower our winner in glory, or whatever you'd shower a cigarette machine in these days, while completely ignoring whoever managed to finish second (who was that again?)

Now as you know there's been a lot of pressure on the Schache cup to perform and live up to last years lofty standards. We saw last week the first signs of cracking with organisers failing to get their act together to even edit and reset a simple poll. Clearly the mounting pressure to re-name the segment and doom another young footballer to the ignominy of being associated with this shambles of an event is taking its toll. Therefore in the interest of player welfare the Schache Cup will be taking a 2 week break and will return back after the bye. We won't be maintaining a running dialogue, however I can categorically say that talk of the comp re-emerging on the Richmond board are utterly baseless bull#$%&.

 

[Skoob]

Nunez sucks.
FatCat sucks.
Schache sucks.
Close sucks.
Hammer sucks.
Other than that, awesome effort all 'round.

 

[Nunez]

The top of the trophy is actually a straw. I take it everywhere I go so I am always drunk. Premiership hangover incoming.

 

[BigCat2]

Any chance for a second round of Schache Cup? Still 10 games left this season so should be sufficient time for the second edition to achieve a result.
