R3. Gold City Royals 13:15 (93) lost to West Coast Wonders 16:4 (100)
The game
On paper, this appears to be a bit of a mismatch, right? It’s 1st v 11th, so let’s just hand the 4 points to the Wonders, and move onto round 5. Trouble is, the sim knows about as much about logic as Barnaby Joyce knows about fidelity, so hold your horses folks – let’s look at this a bit deeper. The Gumbies have lost their last 2 games by a total of 11 points, while the Wonders beat the Royals because the latter’s goal kicking was about as reliable as a Jay Weatherill election promise (the SA state election is on – yawn!!!). So let’s see how this plays out: everything may not be as it seems.
The Gumbies have had 13-14 active posters this season, although nobody has exceeded SM ’s 63 posts in a single thread so far. So they’ve been about as quiet as an England dressing room after they lost the Ashes. By comparison, the Wonders have been as active as a bride on her wedding night: they’ve had 17-20 active posters, with dogs105, Elton Johns Wig, and U2tigers all prominent.
Who’s hot?
haydo – if you believe the Wonders skipper, the race for the SFA equivalent of the Coleman Medal is as good as over. He has 19 goals in 3 games: if he keeps that up, a triple figure haul is possible. His head is already rather large: heaven help us if he reaches the 100!!!
Jade – currently the Gumbies’ leading goal kicker with 13. He’ll need a big haul this week if his team has any hope of toppling the top team.
Who’s not?

He posts about as often as I win lotto – time to stand up, friend.
Prediction
As mentioned in another thread, predicting the sim is fraught with as much danger as trying to understand a woman, but you have to think the Wonders will continue on their merry way – I’ll say 34 points.
Captains please post your team sheet with "Official Team Sheet" somewhere in the post before 11:59pm Thursday.
