East MVP's Week 9


Melbourne Goldfish vs. Northcote Slammers 99 - 85 (35545826)

This game was some what of an elimination final of sorts with both teams coming into this game on 5-3 with aspirations of somehow slotting into the top 2. In what was a fantastic match it was fishys boys who prevailed after a slow start (lost the first q 25-11!). So the Goldfish have a very weak pulse and northcote will play 2 more games and then go fishin'.

3. R. Rymer (Melb Goldfish) - Rymer unfortunately stole votes off MVP candidate Xie with his performance. In his 35min of court time he shot 11-18 for 24 points, had 11 boards (huge as he was PG), 2 assists, 3 steals and a block! In really good allround performance that would have been even better with more minutes.

1. X. Guanzheng (Melb Goldfish) - Xie slots in with 2 vote from this game. He shot 12-29 for his 29 points, whilst dishing 5 assist, 3 steals and a block.

1. D. Polglase (Northcote) - Polglase the perrenial vote getter was Northcotes best in a heartbreaking loss for the slammers. He shot 8-11 for his 18 points whilst dragging in 13 reb.



Chelsea Seagulls vs. CROCKERS 100 - 75 (35545830)

This round 9 matchup threw up an outside finals contender versus an early leader of the PL this season who is now rebuilding. No surprises in this one with yoda taking the cake easily.

3. C. Landrin (Chelsea Seagulls) - Landrin abused crockers crappy PF flinders to the tune of 27 points and 13 rebounds in this game. He also sent 2 blocks heading into the stands which hit a small child on one such occasion.

2. G. Larbi (Chelsea Seagulls) - Larbi was Landrin's backup at PF and also took advantage of his courttime to remind flinders that he is now playing against the big boys. In 13min of courttime Larbi shot 7-9 for 18 points. He also had 4 rebounds and 2 steal.

1. D. Štiberc (Chelsea Seagulls) - And to continue the theme that Chelsea dominated crockers bigs, Stiberc collects the 1 vote. Playing the C position he shot 5-8 for his 11 points. He also had 8 reb, 4 assists and 5 blocks (of which knocked over 4 drinks). This was a dangerous game to be in the crowd at!


Beasts Red vs. JW City Bulls 81 - 98 (35545827)

Match 3 of the round saw the Beasts face another cellar dwellar but recently improved JW. This match was blown out early with a late 4th q rally from beasts making it a closer scoreboard! It looks as if Beasts ratings have improved though so hopefully a win will be around the corner soon in this PL.

3. Ð. Cvoro (JW City Bulls) - Cvoro was a star at PF for the Bulls amassing a sweet double double of 23 points and 18 rebounds. He also had is own block party of sorts swatting away 5 rubbish shots into the crowd.

2. J. Sudzinski (Beasts Red) - Jacek was the best performer from the losers with a 15-34 shooting game for 34 points. He also had 2 reb, 2 assists and a block from SG.

1. J. Kent (JW City Bulls) - The kentmeister put in a nice clean performance at PG for the Bulls, He had 15 points, 5 reb and 6 assists for quite a nice game. He did however play 48min which cost him 2 votes on this occasion

Chumunga vs. SASTROOPERS 57 - 124 (35545828)

Not much to say about this game other then Smeltz was Smeltz, Chumunga played like the rebuilding team they are and the Sastrooper are looking very much headed for the PL East finals...

3. A. Konfeldas (Sastroopers) - Konfeldas was oh so close to a rare PG trip dub. Finished with 24 points, 16 assists, 9 reb a steal and 2 blocks! Amazing!

2. K. Smeltz (Sastroopers) - Hes done it again despite my best efforts of playing my best bigman on him. Finished with 28 points, 19 reb, 4 assists, 4 blks and a steal. Usually this would be 3 votes but the PG did him in.

1. R. Bustos (Sastroopers) - Busty Bustos had a very solid game for the troopers posting 23 points, 19 reb and 4 blocks.


Rampaging Marmots vs. Da Fat Boy Slim 54 - 69 (35545829)

In true DFBS fashion this game was an defensive scrap with the marmots only managing 54 points for the entire game! DFBS continues to be the team outside the top 2 looking in and most likely to make the finals if either of the current 2 drop out.

3. K. Duffill (DFBS) - Duffman for 3 votes! Boom! Duffman was the best player on the court hitting 5-10 shots for 14 points and collecting 18 rebounds to limit the MArmots 2nd chances.

2. R. Rendon (DFBS) - Slipped down to the 2 votes because of a bad shooting night, Rendon still had a very all round game hitting 24 points whilst distributing 7 assists and picking up 4 rebs.

1. T. Rice (Marmots) - And lastly 1 vote for Vanilla Rice Rice baby- T. Rice. Rice had 20 points, 14 rebs, 2 steals and 2 blocks for the game to be the best for the struggling marmots.


Slam ! vs. Cowboys From Hell 72 - 95 (35545831)

And the last matchup for matchday 9 was the struggling and rebuilding Slam versus the 2nd placed Cowboys. This game went pretty much to script with the cowboys dominating and taking the points to keep themselves in a finals position.

3. D. Peixet (Cowboys) - Peixet is becoming a regular for votes and once again earnt it with a BOG performance. He had 28 points, 11 rebounds and 5 swats to control this game.

2. F. Perçin (Cowboys) - Percin was another nearly pulling a big trip dub this week. He did play a full 48min in this game but had a great stat line of 21 points, 7 rebs and 9 assists to be a shining light.

1. F. Banks (Cowboys) - Banksy was another that filled the stat lines in this game and possibly with more minutes could have replicated his teammate with the 2 votes. Banks had 18 points, 4 rebs and 6 assists.

Well with two weeks to go it looks like he has done it again. The big man from the soon to be renamed SMELTZTROOPERS has an unbeatable lead in the East. I am not sure if this makes him also the overall leader in the entire Fishbowl, Grgur Fatur may still be able to pass him, but in the East Xie, Pixiet and Rendon can just look up at him and wonder about what might have been. There is still a prize up for grabs for some lucky coach of a top 10 MVP in the Fishbowl so the last two weks are important but the trophy has a familiar home. After his dominating performance in both his division II and the Fishbowl East this season, perhaps he will be heading to the West before too long.

Just making a top 10 from all the all the leagues for prize purposes. Tie breaker is division. The South is still a week behind.

Fishbowl East Season Four MVPs Week 10 Part One

Chumunga vs. Northcote Slammers 72 - 105

At first glance this could be the first simptom of the new Guppy Virus but in fact Chumunga has sold off his entire team bar Sultan and is just tanking his way into 5th place. Really this should have been a slaughter but Sultan's rebounding and Genadiy Symonchuk's scoring kept some of the fans in their seats for the second half.

3 Pier Giorgio Masetti Northcote Slammers 19 PTS 15 REB 8/14 FGS 13.0 rating. Not only was he the Slammers top rebounder, second top defender and third top scorer, he did it against the only real player on the opposition in Sultan.

2 Demarcus Polglase Northcote Slammers 20 PTS 7 REB 9/16 FGS 13.5 rating. Very efficient and did it all in just 25 minutes.

1 Georgy Trifonov Northcote Slammers 24 PTS 5 AST. This 23 year old MVP is probably going to get even better and just needs a more accurate shot.

Apologies to Sultan and Symonchuk but I just couldn't put either of you guys above these three slammers.

Cowboys From Hell vs. CROCKERS 131 - 65

Another Guppy another thrown match. He couldn't even find $1,000 for a 5th player. "It looked like only one team was trying out there".

3 Daniel Peixet Cowboys From Hell 21 PTS 22 REB 10/14 FGS 14.0 rating. Dominated the glass and scored at will.

2 Antoine Villain Cowboys From Hell 26 PTS 6 AST 5/7 3PTRS. 26 points in 28 inutes, not too shabby.

1 Rod McPhail CROCKERS 31 PTS. About the only CROCKER who showed any interest in the match resulted in him having the game high score and an impressive 6/12 3 PTRS. 0 fouls in 48 minutes hows either his skillful defence of the fact that CROCKERS didn't even try to stop the Cowboys.

Beasts Red vs. Melbourne Goldfish 76 - 94

The Beasts have one of the best young Aussie Guards in U21 team member Neil Tambyraja, but the Goldfish have the oldest Aussie Guard in the world still getting regular training and pops in veteran Xie Guanzheng and this was a night for the verteran. Quite a contrast between the Goldfish starting guards 16/37 for 41 points and the backups 1/13 for 2 points. The big catch up in the 4th garbage time made this game look a bit more respectable.

3 Xie Guanzheng Melbourne Goldfish 28 PTS 5 REB 14.0 rating. Xie loves to shoot but in recent times he has added some defence to his arsenal making him the real deal. Strangely he spent more time looking at the box scores of the SASTROOPERS match to see if he could pass SMELTZ in the MVP standings than he did looking at his own.

2 Arcangelo Di Nunno Melbourne Goldfish 20 PTS 20 REB. A rare double double double nearly stole the 3 votes from teammate XIe but he needs to be a little more efficient with his shooting.

1 Jacek Sudzinski Beasts Red 22 PTS 7 REB 4 AST. The Beasts other young trainee showed he is no slouch hitting a team high score and rebounding well.

Fishbowl East Season Four MVPs Week 10 Part Two

Rampaging Marmots vs. JW City Bulls 95 - 109

This probably should have been mentioned as one of the games of the round. This overtime thriller had everything, lead changes, dramatic plays, huge comebacks and a blowout finish. Early the Marmots dominated taking a comfortable 50-38 halftime lead, but when they relaxed the Bulls came out strong in the second half. Kent and Vulcan were men possessed and while everthing they tried didn't work they had a hand in almost every play down the strech. 1 minute to go JW is up. Clune hits a 3 for a 1 point lead. Yuen of JW scores again JW by 1 31 seconds to go. Rice misses then fouls. Vulcan goes to the free throw line with the pressure on and misses one. Timeout Marmots. They draw the perfect play, 19, 18, 17, 16...3, 2, 1, Clune Shoots...siren, Clune Scores, a buzzerbeater to tie it up. Sadly there was little excitement in the OT as JW totally dominated.

3 Liang Wai Yuen JW City Bulls 27 PTS 13 REB and one really huge basket to get the Bulls to the OT.

2 Dan Gardner Rampaging Marmots 20 PTs 23 REB 10 AST. A triple double and a double double double he did everything he could but the lack of a bench left him exhausted in the overtime.

1 Joel Vulcan JW City Bulls 24 PTS 7 AST. Great game but must watch the turnovers,in this game every possession was gold.

Chelsea Seagulls vs. SASTROOPERS 45 - 81

This was supposed to be the match of the round but instead it was total embarassment for the Seagulls. Two starters out injured and one in poor game shape was always going to be an issue. But excuses are like assholes, everyone has one and they all stink. The fact is the Seagulls simply were beaten in every position and had the worst shooting night that can ever remember as the SAS outside defence left the Seagull starting PG, SG and SF a combined 1/34 for the match! Wow!

3 Ky Smeltz SASTROOPERS 13 PTS 25 REB 14.0 rating. Ky had an off night and was probably line ball with Alfas Konfeldas for the 3 points but the massive rebounds were essential as the Seagulls actually controlled the boards and Bustos had a stinker.

2 Alfas Konfeldas SASTROOPERS 17 PTS 7 AST 7 REB. Not often Ky finds decent guards on his team but this season's group has people in Smeltzland talking championship.

1 Róbert Kožlej SASTROOPERS Forget the stats, kept Ðuričko and his wondrous JS to 0/17 for the match. Incredible!

Slam ! vs. Da Fat Boy Slim 64 - 119

Da Fat Boy Slim have actually been in semi-tank mode this season so this shows how important a dominant big man is in this league. They threw the ball inside to Duffill and he scored at will. I want to give him all 6 MVP points.

3 Kye Duffill Da Fat Boy Slim 46 PTS 30 REB 20/29 FGS 17.0 rating. Probably the best single performance from anyone including Smeltz this season.

2 Ralph Rendon Da Fat Boy Slim 26 PTS 7 REB 6 AST. Someone had to throw Duff Duff the ball.

1 Hunter Hawthorn Da Fat Boy Slim. Grabbed the rebound Duff Duff missed. Still sounds like he should be in a cheap vampire movie or gay porn to me.

No secret that Ky Smeltz will be the MVP yet again just following the results of the blood doping investigation. Daniel Peixet still has a chance to pass Xie for second but needs Xie to have an off night. Interesting to see Cowboys with three top performers, Da Fat Buy Slim with two and Rampaging Marmots with two. My candidate Rober Forbes did my team and himself no favours by spending the last three weeks out injured. Finally the Slammers certainly have a real player in Pier Giorgio Masetti.

Been a busy weekend so no writeups for the last round of votes unfortunately. We just need them published so Smeltz can start his celebrations...its like on brownlow night when the winner is clear with a round to go they rocket through the last round haha.

So very well done to Ky Smeltz of SASTROOPERS getting his 4th MVP award. Well done also to Xie Guanzheng of Melbourne Goldfish that gave him at least some competition and Daniel Peixet from the Cowboys From Hell who achieved third despite being on a very balanced and even team unlike Smeltz and Xie.
