Official Match Thread Season 33 Round 17 - East Side Phoenix vs Las Vegas Bears at The Eyrie

[Barrybran]

East Side Phoenix (10-6; 4th) v Las Vegas Bears (8-8; 5th)
The Eyrie​

The Phoenix travelled to Ljp86’s Lair to take on the Dragons and took control of the game early, kicking five goals in the first quarter. They stretched their lead to four goals late in the second term but the Dragons slowly chipped away at the Phoenix’s advantage and took the lead late in the third quarter, which the Phoenix were unable to overcome, going down by five points. por_please_ya had an excellent game in the ruck with 23 disposals, 21 hitouts and six tackles while Itsmyshow kicked eight goals.

The Bears hosted the Swamprats in an exciting Los Carraras derby that saw 38 goals kicked between them. The Swamprats took an early advantage but the Bears pegged them back before half time. A shootout ensued in the third quarter with 11 goals kicked but the Bears kicked away in the last quarter, piling on six goals to three to register an 18-point win. In a sea of dominant performances, MWPP stood out with 28 disposals, six marks and six tackles.

The Phoenix have had a top four spot locked up for a couple of weeks so they are playing for position this week as the Gumbies’ percentage is too much to overcome. The Phoenix are well represented in the league leaders this season with Chipmunk, por_please_ya and Agent93 all in the top 6 for Dream Team points while Itsmyshow leads the goalkicking list with 66.

The Bears booked their place in the finals last week and can finish no higher than fifth. Individually, Millky95 has been the heart of the Bears midfield, ranking fifth in the league for tackles, while Cap ’s 61 goals sees him sit fifth on the goalkicking table.

I guess you've just gotta hope your assassination target is sitting in the fourth row on centre wing.
