Hold on you your hats kids, 'cause this week is going to be a big one. Both games (probably) have foregone conclusions, but underdogs can still bite and the two top ranked teams had better be ready for a scrap!
Game 1: Huck versus Meow
I think most people would expect this one to go to Meow, and I agree that it likely will, but I don't for a second think that this one is going to be a walk over. Huck's intensity (especially in the first 30 minutes of a game) is always dangerous and it will be up to Meow to stay focussed, move the disc around the field, and tire the Green Machine out. This is definitely a game of exploiting weaknesses and if Meow pick Huck apart, they will romp home.
Conversely, it is going to be up to Huck to shore up their weaknesses with judicious substitutions to make sure the intensity doesn't wane. Huck are probably the only team with the height to take it to Cephas in the endzone and they need to make certain that they rotate their big men to cut him out as an option.
Game 2: Empire versus Boomstick
After a 15-1 drubbing last time, Empire have got to be confident coming into this one. With Sweet Harriet Booth coming back from her sojourn with the Australian wilderness, Empire have a glut of handy handlers and ready receivers all primed to bring it to the Deadites. Having said that, the last time the top and bottom of the table came together, it was more competitive than the scoreline suggested. The only question now is: Have the Deadites learned to catch the ones that count?
Unusually, this one is probably going to go down as a strategy scmategy game, with both teams doing whatever feels right on the night. Will Jacob be fit to play? If not, what will Liam choose to do? Find another reciever, or hit the endzone himself? Anything is possible in this one, so make a point of staying behind to see it happen!
Don't forget: I'm raffling off a sweet PRIMAL disc in support of Movember and this is your penultimate chance to get tickets!
See you on the pitch, Ed
