Match commencing shortly ... NSW v VM0
Welcome to the Capital of Australia for what should be a great night game between the young tearaways NSW&ACT and the competition's most improved side Vic Metro. There can be no doubt this is an improtant game for Metro with their hopes for a redemptive trophy hanging by a thread after their shock loss to SA last Wednesday. For NSW&ACT their hopes are just about over after their loss to The Allies. However they are still playing for pride and the hope to send the Vics crashing out of the championship.
In the earlier games WA succumbed to The Allies while Vic COuntry coped with the wet better than SA. If the pattern of higher ladder teams winning is correct, Metro already have this in the bag and are set for a showdown with the Allies this Wednesday that might well determine the State of Origin champions for Series #9.
Lets have a look at the teams:
There are a number fo great matchups that we can look forward to here tonight: Happy Mastenator has done a decent job so far this series and will need to keep boom or bust forward Juggalo Balla quiet if his team is to have any hope. Gilbert_hodge and DemonJim have been excellent for Metro, while no_orange_peeler and pekay-norwest have been dangerous for NSW&ACT. MountainGiant has been a good find for NSW&ACT and he should have little trouble subduing the out of form Freakie, while GeeDub should give drd23 a workout at full forward for NSW&ACT.
Round 04, Conditions for this match - CLOUDY
It's a bleak night underlights here tonight and there is some rain about. There is also a strong breeze favouring the end to which NSW&ACT will be kicking in the first. Thankfully we've stayed dry here at Manuka because the commentary box roof apparently leaks like a seive. Here's umpire Yopik with the bounce, we're underway!

=====================================
SIREN SOUNDS FOR THE END OF QUARTER 1
NSW&ACT : 6.4.40
Vic Metro : 4.5.29
=====================================
That's a fascinating quarter of football. NSW&ACT strang out to an early lead but Metro clawed their way back into it. Metro have performed well against the big opponents but in the last week or so struggled against the lesser ones. Are they taking them too lightly? Or is it a fitness issue? We might get the answer later on in this game. As it stands, they need goals quickly in this second quarter.

We're back at Manuka Oval for what might shape up to be one of the most critical quarters in this carnival.

=====================================
SIREN SOUNDS FOR THE END OF QUARTER 2
NSW&ACT : 8.6.54
Vic Metro : 9.9.63
=====================================
Well, Metro did indeed manage to take advantage of the breeze, but it has now died down. An early onslaught from doggies and Speck was weathered by NSW&ACT but at the half time break they are behind by 9 points. In what can only be described as a performance inspired by the red mist doggies ftw has kicked 4.2 to lead the goalkickers.
The next quarter is, again, very important. Metro have managed to come out on top now, but they have a history of fading badly in the second half of games and if that happens here it could be all over for them, just a week after they seemed assured of the trophy. They'll need to stay focussed on their defensive zone and continue to put pressure on the NSW&ACT backline.

=====================================
SIREN SOUNDS FOR THE END OF QUARTER 2
NSW&ACT : 8.6.54
Vic Metro : 9.9.63
=====================================
Well, Metro did indeed manage to take advantage of the breeze, but it has now died down. An early onslaught from doggies and Speck was weathered by NSW&ACT but at the half time break they are behind by 9 points. In what can only be described as a performance inspired by the red mist doggies ftw has kicked 4.2 to lead the goalkickers.
The next quarter is, again, very important. Metro have managed to come out on top now, but they have a history of fading badly in the second half of games and if that happens here it could be all over for them, just a week after they seemed assured of the trophy. They'll need to stay focussed on their defensive zone and continue to put pressure on the NSW&ACT backline.

3 : 4.31 {FB} - SouthCab has it.
3 : 4.33 {rHBF} - Geeze he's got onto that one. Pressure on Have_a_RHG to mark.

3 : 4.41 {rHBF} - So Have_a_RHG ... with a moment to digest his options.

3 : 5.39 {FF} - Juggalo Balla lines up the sticks.

NSW&ACT : 8.7.55
Vic Metro : 10.14.74
A quick break from the centre after NSW&ACT suddenly find themselves 20 points down. Not much reward though as SKM shanks it terribly and it bounces on the favourable side of the point post.

This next quarter will determine who fights off next week for the trophy. Lose here, and you would have to think that it would be The Allies playing off against Country. Win, and they're right in the mix. For NSW&ACT the equasion is even simpler: play for the pride of NSW&ACT. Lets see which is a better motivating factor in the last quarter.

Juggs just can't seem to have an impact tonight. That was a huge effort to bring down that mark, only for it to be called play on. Then he runs around two and kicks at goal only for it drift to the left.

NSW&ACT : 8.6.54
Vic Metro : 9.12.66

3 : 4.31 {FB} - SouthCab has it.
3 : 4.33 {rHBF} - Geeze he's got onto that one. Pressure on Have_a_RHG to mark.
3 : 4.37 {rHBF} - Have_a_RHG uses Gilbert_Hodge as a stepladder. Great mark.
3 : 4.41 {rHBF} - So Have_a_RHG ... with a moment to digest his options.
3 : 4.46 - <<< no_orange_peeler is coming on to replace pekay-norwest >>>

3 : 5.35 {FF} - The ball is now with Juggalo Balla.
3 : 5.39 {FF} - Juggalo Balla lines up the sticks.
3 : 5.43 {FF} - That would have been Goal of the Year if it wasnt a behind..
NSW&ACT : 8.6.54
Vic Metro : 9.13.67
Another miss for Juggs. Why not choose the smart option and kick it anywhere near doggies?

NSW&ACT : 8.6.54
Vic Metro : 10.14.74
He probably should have taken him on, in hindsight. doggies ftw ftw! He lifts Eth clear of the ground in celebration. He really is quite insane, I think.

NSW&ACT : 8.7.55
Vic Metro : 10.14.74
A quick break from the centre after NSW&ACT suddenly find themselves 20 points down. Not much reward though as SKM shanks it terribly and it bounces on the favourable side of the point post.
3 : 7.37 {FB} - With the ball is eth_dog.

=====================================
SIREN SOUNDS FOR THE END OF QUARTER 3
NSW&ACT : 9.13.67
Vic Metro : 13.16.94
=====================================
Metro streaked away from NSW&ACT in that quarter with a 27 point lead at three quarter time only so close due to a late resurgence (mostly of behinds) by NSW&ACT. doggies ftw, not content with scoring 6 goals and 6 behinds, has moved into the ruck in an attempt to further hurt NSW&ACT. This next quarter will determine who fights off next week for the trophy. Lose here, and you would have to think that it would be The Allies playing off against Country. Win, and they're right in the mix. For NSW&ACT the equasion is even simpler: play for the pride of NSW&ACT. Lets see which is a better motivating factor in the last quarter.
beez
A*mazing
lol doggies, absolutely brilliant.
Thank god I don't have to kick to Juggs in the real season, he really does like those behinds.

SIREN SOUNDS FOR THE END OF QUARTER 4
NSW&ACT : 13.22.100
Vic Metro : 18.18.126
=====================================
Match Over!
Finally it's over. Metro look exhausted but once again their opposition haven't been able to capitalise on chances to bring down the margin in the last. NSW&ACT kicked 4.9 to Metro's 5.2 in that quarter. A reversal of that accuracy would have seen them run out 14 point winners. But their chances went begging and this might forever be rememebered as the game doggies ftw won for Metro. If it weren't for his insanity then there would have been no contest at all. Let's look at his stats:

4 : .51 {C} - okeydoke7 has possession.
4 : .53 {C} - I believe a change is about to occur.
4 : .57 - <<< Gilbert_Hodge is trading places with Deddy >>>

NSW&ACT : 13.20.98

=====================================
SIREN SOUNDS FOR THE END OF QUARTER 4
NSW&ACT : 13.22.100
Vic Metro : 18.18.126
=====================================
Match Over!
Finally it's over. Metro look exhausted but once again their opposition haven't been able to capitalise on chances to bring down the margin in the last. NSW&ACT kicked 4.9 to Metro's 5.2 in that quarter. A reversal of that accuracy would have seen them run out 14 point winners. But their chances went begging and this might forever be rememebered as the game doggies ftw won for Metro. If it weren't for his insanity then there would have been no contest at all. Let's look at his stats:

AFTER-MATCH SUMMARY :
Doggies was clearly the stand out player on the park. 6 hitouts, 15 kicks and 6.6 is a remarkable effort in anyone's books. For the rest of Metro WGS, Okey, DemonJim Gilbert_Hodge, and Speck led the way, with Eth and Speck recording a mindboggling 17 tackles between them.
For NSW&ACT,GeeDub kicked 1.9 in a remarkable display of inaccuracy, while Flaps, SKM, Illbethejudge and Have_a_RHG all contributed.

Metro are just awesome.
Nice big bag to doggies and could've been double digits if he kicked straighter.
Might have been lucky to win given the 22 behinds from the opposition but in a high pressure game it can be hard to put them through the middle. Metro just had more players that could steady and get those big shots off.
Lets bring this carnival home
I wouldn't mind getting more hands on the footy. Can I move up the field? Swap me with one of Freakie/DJ.

Doggies, WAG!
****ing Gee Dub. He really could have played a captain's game and got us the win, but instead he got himself a platinum membership to F.A.R.K.

Thanks for the game ACT.
Great game by doggies, we would be in serious trouble without him.
I'm just a soft outside player, to call myself Cale Morton would be an insult to Cale Morton.

Great win Metro!
Doggies you beast.
I am slightly frustrated that I played 43% game time... and racked up 13 disposals and a goal from the ruck... (not to mention some quality hitouts)
But it goes to show you really shouldn't have a threesome with two of your coaches daughters..... and then another threesome with his wife and youngest daughter.
