Heef 166 Posted March 1, 2018 Death Impends (Hannigan, Vervoort, Jose, Goodwin, Anzaki, Da-Ren, Kennedy E, Martin D, Wouk, Vento, DeKoven) Vs Heef (Stefansson, Vervoort, Goodwin, Hannigan, Carroll B, Grant W, Reid JR, Bracknell, Anzaki, Nash D, Verhousky) Hmmm. 7 vs. 7. I do hate it when 3 quarters of my back four ends up playing in the opposition defensive line as well. Good look with Hannigan in goal though. Terrible with goal kicks.

Death Impends 7,986 Posted March 1, 2018 Interesting team from Heef with a few uniques on his side and none on mine. 4 shared names on both our sides so beyond that it's largely a conventional versus eclectic battle. Only offsite picks are shared with Dead Cow. I had two more of his names on my shortlist as well, but had a feeling both might linger a couple months.

Heef 166 Posted March 1, 2018 Verhousky was a last minute addition. I was keen on Bjorn Formosa. He didn't meet the required threshold though. I don't think Verhousky will obit, even if he dies. Suffering from COPD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I upped my game slightly just because I feared losing 20-0 to the champ.... which is actually still possible given your side. Good luck msc! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted March 1, 2018 Dammitall to hell my steal Ernie Thacker and who else has him...my opponent! That’s a wash. (gcreptile saying the same thing) anyone NOT have Vervoort? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted March 1, 2018 What’s with deadsox having a team with ‘Youngs Cocks Ripa di Meana Butts?’ Thats not even subliminal. 2 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Creep 7,070 Posted March 1, 2018 Gcreptile (Hannigan, Vervoort, Thacker E, Jose, Dole, Wouk, Bolduc A, Tafoya A, D Kumar, S Anzaki, Ahmed M) Vs Sir Creep (DeKoven, DeHavilland, Hannigan, Vento, Shivakamura, Thacker E, Vervoort, Benson T, Jenkins B, Tajima, Tiwari ND) Another 8-vs-8, both teams three players red carded. Honestly, is this going to come down to Herman Wouk vs Olivia De Havilland? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,228 Posted March 1, 2018 Oh, and my immediate gut feeling for all rounds apart from my own: 1. Death Impends 2. gcreptile 3. Too close to call 4. Sean 5. DDT 6. Chorizo 7. msc No doubt I will be wrong in at least one case... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Creep 7,070 Posted March 1, 2018 Oh My GAWD!!!!! So I post my team of 11 on Facebook for those who know I’m demented and accept me anyway lol. My second cousin (she ran for Mayor of Seattle a couple election cycles back) sees my post and says “You know my friend Bernie [De Koven]???” Holy shit. I say no I just know his medical condition and he sounds like an incredible guy. I mean wtf else can I say? I’m waiting for her response and unfriending me lol. SirC Edit: Now if I were dedicated to winning this and crass enough I’d ask her to ask him how that lung cancer and spinal stenosis are coming along. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grim Up North 3,727 Posted March 1, 2018 8 hours ago, Joey Russ said: So in my round it's an Ayres, Stefansson, Lynott, Da-Ren, P-orridge, and McCain vs Brickhouse Brown, Obayashi, Tajima, Mack, Overton, and Stiles. Seeing as I'm the only one I went for Ayres, I reckon I fucked up there. But it'll certainly be an interesting match (I'd be quite annoyed if Obayashi dies this month)... Yes as I imagined (and it was probably the same for you Joey) our match is actually the team I picked v the short listers I reluctantly rejected. McCain was my First Sub and P-Orridge third sub. Only Da-Ren was not on my radar. It looks like you have the edge in the event of a draw. I couldn't resist throwing Tajima in after what I said about not choosing old picks last month. Hopefully it will be a close high scoring match. EDIT: Fu Da-Ren looks a worryingly good pick!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Engineer equalises. - Tails. Engineer leads 2-1. - Engineer needs one more to win. - Heads – The coin saves YWillz! - Next flip wins it for either. - The decider - Heads! - Young Willz wins the 50/50 Decider 3-2 - Bad luck to Engineer. That’s the closest of of the three "shootouts" to date. I'm a bit tense after that! Commiserations to Maryport, Pedro, The Engineer, Wormfarmer, Yorkshire Banker, Spade Cooley, Garn, Biblio, Fixed Business, John Key, Deathray and Book. Better luck next year? I have not scored in the two rounds of this game I have played. Everyone will want me to be their opponent in 2019. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
