The Run Home - Round 15*
1. Right Nut 44 (Failed Creation, Hawkers, Jimmy Crack Corn)
Right Nut has gotten a bit wobbly in recent weeks but should edge Failed Creation and do a number on the relegation bound Hawkers. Could finish the season with a loss against Jimmy though and lose top spot.
2. Chicken Noodles 40 (Blighty Teasdale, The Willies, kiwi Krappers)
The Noodles are hot right now and I expect them to win all three of these matches and win the Minor Premiership.
3. Failed Creation 36 (Right Nut, Underbelly, Hawkers)
The Creation has moved into the top four but the next two matches are tough. A win against the Hawkers will ensure they play finals this year. They would need to win one of two very tough matches to stay in the top four and I’m not backing them in.
4. Jimmy Crack Corn 36 (Greedy Guns, Magpie Mafia, Right Nut)
After a slow start Jimmy has got cracking. There are a few tough games to come but I reckon Jimmy is in good enough form to cut the mustard and earn a Qualifying Final against Right Nut.
5. Underbelly 36 (The Willies, Failed Creation, Chicken Noodles)
Underbelly have been threatening the top four and I reckon they will get there in the end despite copping a tough match in the last round. Kelly has a good side that will get a percentage booster against the Willies before edging Failed Creation. They could even challenge the mighty Noodles.
6. Blighty Teasdale 34 (Chicken Noodles, kiwi Krappers, Extend the Dukes)
Blighty will cop a loss this week but should win the last two and earn a knock out final against one of Greedy Guns or The B Train.
7. Wiggbros 32 (Brown 25FC , The B Train, Ice Bank Mice Elf)
The Wiggs have blown off the top of the ladder and they will need to win one of Browny and B Train to cement a place in the top eight. They should take care of the spankers but they can prove a difficult opponent at times as well. Jury’s out but I think they finish about 6th.
8. Kiwi Krappers 32 28 ( FOOTYLEDGENS, Blighty Teasdale, The Willies)
The Kiwi lived up to their name last week in what was a poorly timed bout of crap form. On paper they’ve got the LEDGENS covered but the Cubman isn’t done with just yet and I’m liking him to clean up Uncle Brad to leave the door open for the chasing pack. A big win against the Willies will see the Kiwi return to the eight just in time for the finals.
9. Brown 25FC 28 (wiggbros, Greedy Guns, Magpie Mafia)
It’s been a brave recovery from Browny and it was very tempting to put him down for three losses just for the LOLs here. He could just as easily win all three as lose all three but my guestimate is that he wins one of Greedy Guns and Magpie Mafia and that won’t be enough.
10. Greedy Guns 28 (Jimmy Crack Corn, Browny 25FC, The B Train)
The Guns were looking a solid finals chance until a run of poor form put their season on life support. However, all is not lost for the Big Show even though he has an awkward match up against the inform Jimmy Crack Corn. On form this year the Guns beat the top sides and lose to the stragglers so who knows how he will go against two mid table sides. Just outside for mine.
11. The B Train 28 (Ingle Farm Felons, wiggbrosGreedy Guns)
The B Train are another side who are scoring well and it would not surprise to see them win all three and snaffle eighth spot. However, in SuperCoach a lot can go wrong in three weeks so I’m tipping bennymacca drops one and misses out. It won’t be against the Felons though so the B Train will be on track for at least another week.
12. Extend the Dukes 24 ( Ice Bank Mice Elf, FOOTYLEDGENS, Blighty Teasdale)
The Dukes are punching on and staying in the fight and they should stay alive another week by beating the Spankers. After that it gets more difficult with a possible early elimination final against FOOTYLEDGENS and then a tough last round match against Blighty probably keeping them out.
13. Magpie Mafia 24 (Hawkers, Jimmy Crack Corn, Brown 25FC)
At best Ross wins two of these matches which won’t be enough. A gentle lead in with the Hawkers and a posisble win against Browny but I’m not liking the Mafia to be a hit against Jimmy so that means no finals for Roscoe this year.
14. FOOTYLEDGENS 24 ( kiwi Krappers, Extend the Dukes, Ingle Farm Felons)
This little period will either mark the Cub as a finalist or a Division IV side but the reality is that they will finish around 10th or 11th which is about as high as the Cub has gotten in recent weeks. I’m tipping a late run that falls short in an upset result..it’s been that sort of season for FOOTYLEDGENS.
