Kerr another injury to add to my list of non playing starters. Crameri, Franklin, Judd, broughton and Kerr 5 spots is impossible to fill. Hopefully Franklin and crameri come back or il drop out of the 8

omr its surprisingly like last year, i left my charge too late but taking out teams above me shaping the final 8, if only my list pulled it together a couple of rounds earlier i think i would of been able to have a crack at it.

[Sideshow Bob 2,462]

Well played Scarlett, 1 kick, 4 handballs.... Aaaaarrrgggghhhhh there goes my season. 2 late omissions - the Chad and Drummond out has killed my finals aspirations.

Injuries, injuries, injuries the curse of my season - I'm sacking Bohdan fom my fitness staff - its obviously all his fault

[snomed 54]

geez trading Scott Thompson to robbo a few months back could end up being the move of the season if he gets suspended. Anyone see the incident?

[robbo24 66]

I can't see Thompson getting any weeks. IF he does get suspended then it will be an injustice and you MUST rest your best mid!

Actually looking at your side, I don't know how you're favourite? Should be a walk in the park for the 24's

[robbo24 66]

Schofield, Merrett, Jackson will cost you. As long as Thomas and Robinson are back in it will be a 14-1 win. FA's always cost me

Thought I had you Deevoted. You were -3 for free differential and ended up on 9....wtf!

Neville Jetta, you will not be playing this week v RR. Sidebottom straight back in. Btw, you cost me.

Cellar dweller battle this week HT. Nothing but pride on the line!

Just got you RR. God both our teams suck. Proud to be off the bottom though.

Great game RPFC - Very happy I came out on top thanks to some huge efforts from my new "Keeper recruits" Keiren Jack & Jack Darling.

Big thanks to Watts CookN for that awesome trade early last week. I am sure Jones & Walker will hold up for you also in the run home.

Definately a fair bit to play out in the final round.

JCB - Nobody needs to take pity on you, every week you claim you have no chance & your team gets over the line.

You are the flag favorite my friend, get used to it I reckon you will take home the bacon in 2012.

One of The Brothers Robbo24 or Snomed a huge chance to sneak into the 8.

Wacko Jako, RPFC both massively under the pump to hang in there now.

My agenda - Take out Deevoted & sneak in the 8 myself.

This has a "de ja vu feel" about it for team OMR. I charged home last year only to miss the 8 on %.

Who will crumble at the last hurdle? Who will live the fairytale & charge into the 8?

For those old enough to remember this has the final Home & Away round 1987 written all over it.

Good Luck to all next week. That's everyone except Deevoted of course!

My friend, whilst it is great sitting on top,looking at you guys fighting over getting into the 8, I truthfully have got real hassles. Corey is gone for around 3,weeks, Stanton, possibly 2, SJ maybe1,leaves my team in disarray.OMR,if you don't make it,I will be very disappointed.There will be many changes at the end of this round with still many can make the8.

Cellar dweller battle this week HT. Nothing but pride on the line!

Absolutely. Need to finish on a win. May have Podsy back too. Selection awaits.edit: Chris Yarran 5 kicks, 5 handballs - geez he is hot & cold. Mentally fragile, but when he clicks he's a match winner.

[DeeVoted 583]

Thought I had you Deevoted. You were -3 for free differential and ended up on 9....wtf!

I had you covered until Cross went down, and out, I was more than a little bit concerned after that.

You were a bit stiff to lose 10 / 3, as it was a lot closer than that reflection. Well done for hanging in there all season.

I have also 50,000 reasons to celebrate, I got the double.

I need Simpson back asap and cant afford to lose Cross.

OMR might have to be favourite against me this week.

Had we played last weekend I would have beaten you 8-7.... and FA's are worth 2 points...

Are you "Deestroyem" ?

[DeeVoted 583]

Are you "Deestroyem" ?

You wouldnt also be "Flying High" by any chance ? If so, I got the trifecta

Update: There would have been more chance of winning lotto,than playing the same coach in 3 different leagues on the same weekend. Not a good weekend for your namesake (Christian name) either. He got belted.

No. 50,000 reasons.

[rpfc 28,906]

This is a funny place to take some respite considering our issues a few weeks ago but jeez...

I got Salopek for some bloody reason - play the poor fellow Optimus!

[scarlett 247]

if i hold rpfc off this weekend i'll miss out on the eight by one game just like last year, 7th and 8th are up for grabs, going to be a few close ones.

You may want to recalculate that... You're 3 games off at the moment...

[scarlett 247]

if i win i'll finish on 8 wins with 8th place finishing on 9 wins. do the bottom eight still have our own play off finals this year?

[snomed 54]

lol - even if you win 15-0 you only get 1 win for the round which leaves you on 7 wins - at best you can finish 12th if eth loses.

In any case I believe there is finals for the bottom 8 (consolation finals are listed on the link above the ladder)

[scarlett 247]

haha just had a better look snome, i gotta stop looking at the screen on an angle, i lined up my name with eths wins lol. OMR is looking good to make the 8.

Enter Bennell!! Bloody close - bad luck!

Home & Away done & dusted

Anyone calculated the final 8 finish?
