Last game of the DuFFLe HomeNaway commences this Friday (July 26) at 5:40pm with the Blues hosting the unreliable Port Power. For Freo, we want Port to fire on all cylinders but will they? In any case, your team needs to be submitted by 5:30pm (WA time) to this thread.
Round 20:
- CaptDazza (Jolly Jokers) v BomberTroy (El Bombres) at Beerporium Balcony
- BossHog (Luke's Dukes) v TheColonel (Carpark Trannies) at Hazard County Ground
- FD1016 (Bay Bros) v Cookie (Ingredients) at Donetsk Stadium
- The Blocker (Willsie Aeroplane) v MattyT (El Primero) at Blockerdrome
- Moptop (White Rabbits) v Bizkit (SoS Superstars) at Wonderland
- Straddo (Souls) v Slammo-Jnr (Slammen's Saviours) at Eternal Legends Arena
I’ve perused the possibilities, but do let me know if I’ve missed something or made an error.
The top six DuFFLe franchises are locked in for finals: Willsie Aeroplane, Ingredients, White Rabbits, El Primero, Jolly Jokers and Luke’s Dukes.
So the battle really lies with Bizkit, FD1016, Straddo and Slammo-Jnr all vying for two spots in the eight. Let’s dive into what needs to happen from the teams’ perspectives.
Bizkit's Superstars
A win against the White Rabbits and they are playing finals. A loss could still have them finals bound if they maintain a Points For aggregate lead over FD's Bay Bros and with FD losing to Cookie. The Stars need to stay ahead of the Bay Bros on the DuFFLe ladder to keep themselves in the eight. With the Bay Bros winning and Stars losing, the winner of Straddo v Jnr will sneak over the line at Biz's expense.
FD’s Bay Bros
Win against Cookie, they are in. Lose against Cookie’s Ingredients and it becomes dicey as either Straddo’s Souls or Jnr’s Saviours will leap over them and push them down the ladder. The only other way out of losing but still managing to play finals is if the Bros make up the 18 point aggregate score deficit with Biz’s Stars, plus Biz must lose to Moptop. Then Biz would miss out on the finals.
Straddo’s Souls
The only way for the Souls to make the eight is a win against the Saviours and FD’s Bay Bros or Stars to falter.
Slammo-Jnr’s Saviours
They have to beat Straddo and FD’s Bros or Biz's Stars have to lose. That’s their only pathway.
There is another couple of games that will decide who gets the coveted fourth (double-chance) spot on the DuFFLe ladder. MattyT’s El Primero have the game advantage over The Captain’s Jokers, but if the Jokers win against BT’s El Bombres and El Primero lose to WillsieAir, MattyT will slide out of the top four.
