I might try to do something for Zeta like this. We'll see. Maybe I'll do something quick after each week. Like a week in review thing.

Good thing that this is a Tertiary Review... because there are 3 teams at the top of the Zeta Mountain.....


Samoa Flying Foxes - The Little Team that could is all grown up now and even though they lost to the Gunners, a after a big win over same Island rival, the Gangster,s and with the #3 Offense in O-Pro, The Foxes might not lose another game for the rest of the season. Good Luck Foxes!

Guadalcanal Gunners - This team is build around the run 3# Rushing Attack and the #4 Rush Defense. They are also the only team to beat the Foxes and the only team that controls their own destiny. If the Gunners can win out, and they have to play the 1-loss Jellybirds, they will have the home field advantage throughout the playoffs.

Sydney Jellybirds - With 6 games to go the Jellybirds already need help, only a Foxes loss can open the door for the JBirds to earn the #1 seed. Otherwise #2 is the best they can do.... and they will have to beat the Gunners to earn that..... The JBirds have the best defense in O-Pro so don't count them out.....

The next two teams are going to be fighting for Home Field advantage in the playoffs but are not quite top tier yet....

Berlin Kreuzberg Red Stars - Solid on both sides of the ball with the #4 Offense and the #5 Defense the Red Stars only two losses come from teams above them on this list. If the Red Stars want to be talked about as one of the best in Zeta then they will have beat the Gunners in week 12. If not then they can fight the Gangsters for the best team in the 2nd tier.....

Samoa Gangsters - The Gangsters went 1-2 against the big 3 in Zeta and so find themselves on the outside looking in.... They need a lot of help but can still host a playoff game if they can take care of business against the Red Stars. For that to happen I believe their offense will have to come alive in the next 5 games 18th is just not going to cut it....

These 2 teams are solid and could surprise some....

Christchurch Knightmares - The Knightmares almost made it to the other side of the line but their 3 losses all come against teams above them. The Knightmares have a solid offense, 5th overall and 1st in passing, and played well in their losses but 5 losses is too many in Season 12 and you have not shown me your ready for the 2nd tier.

Vanuatu Volcanos - A week 1 loss may come back to haunt this team. However if they can take care of business against Christchurch and Sumatra then the Volcanos might have enough in them to surprise their opponent in the playoffs.... This team has the Defense to get it done.... but does it have the offense????

These next 4 teams are fighting for the last playoff spot.....

Perth Pirates - Solid Passing team, 6th Passing Offense and 2 Pass Defense the Pirates need to get their running game in motion.... 8-8 could miss the playoffs so the Pirates have to win 4 games to have a chance and 2 of them have to come from some tough teams, including a very hungry Bulldogs team.....

Sumatra Seahawks - I like this team but I don't see them going 3-3 or making the playoffs.... They have the toughest schedule remaining.... but they also have a strong Front Office and I know they will learn a lot from their rookie season and be a lot stronger in Season 13.....

Brisbane Bulldogs - Also a tough remaining schedule however the Bulldogs control the 8th seed destiny since they still play the Pirates... Brisbane needs to start a fire under their passing game if they really want to be in the playoffs this season....

Atlantis Lost Souls - While not technically out of the playoff hunt you need to beat the Foxes or the Jellybirds and have other teams lose as well.... maybe if you run the table you have a shot.... so your playoffs essentially start now!!!!

------------------------------------------------------

Knox Nightmares, Solomon Islands Alchemy and Guam Gorillas... get your learn on in these last few games and start gearing up for Season 13.....

Olden and Matu put your nose to the grindstone and get back to the Pros.....

Thanks, man! It's a tough league and we're happy that we're doing rather well in our first season ever in the Pros. But there's a lot left to learn, that's for sure...
