While it looked like Kye Duffill was about to establish a massive gap especially with Xie Guanzheng controversially getting no votes last week. However with the Glenelg Tigers players Fan Chung Ling and Barnabé da Gudiña instead getting all the votes they kept pace with Duffman and with the changing of the forefit rule Alejandro Ascariz from Slam ! has come from no-where to maybe Duffill's biggest threat. Finally we have the ever reliable Udi Samdup of the Western Titans still in the vote chance.

Thanks as always to our MVP writers who always do a great job.

Finally Matt1986 can you PLEASE remove your post.

Ladies and gentlemen week 5 is done and dusted and here is the votes that rose out of the appocalyptic conditions

Week 5 Part 1


Slam ! vs. Northcote Slammers 80 - 94 (36141700)

Round 5 kicked off with a very interesting and closely matched game between Slam and Northcote. In what was a 5 point game at 3q time, Northcote ran away in the last to record a 14 point win set up mainly by there depth of players and the fact they probably won the overall battle tactically....Here are the votes.

3. D. Polglase (Northcote Slammers) - Surprisingly Polglase had only polled 1 vote up until this stage of the private league but he looked all the bit of a top 5 MVP contender with him performance in this match. 44 points, 13 rebounds and 3 steals saw him chaired off on the day.

2. P. Masetti (Northcote Slammers) - Masetti is another one of the Slammers perennial vote-getters and this time he will be rewarded with 2 hard earned votes. He put up 17 points, 14 rebounds and 5 assists from the valuable SF position in his 41 min of court time....

1. C. Bertocco (Slam) - Masetti's opponent at SF Bertocco was the shining light for Slam on the day. He toiled hard for 21 points on 9-19 shooting whilst pulling in 2 reb and 2 assists.


Chumunga vs. JW City Bulls 88 - 108 (36141699)

The next game of the round brought the tanking and overclassed Chumunga vs the Bulls. In what was probably one of Chumunga's best performances so far this PL edition, they were still outclassed to the tune of 20 points and that was with the Bulls sitting up late and playing the kids and waterboy.

3. J. Vulcan (JW City Bulls) - The Vulcanator was the best player for the Bulls on this occasion hitting shots at will in his 23min of court time before hitting the showers early. He shot 8-11 for his 20 points whilst getting 2 rebounds and a steal. What a game he would have had if he played a full 48min!

2. B. Penik (JW City Bulls) - Penik scrapes into the number 2 spot courtesy of his 11 points and 16 rebounds on the night. What was also impressive was that Penik had chumunga's best player Sultan on him so his stats were truly earned.

1. S. Sultan (Chumunga) - Im not a fan of giving blown out teams votes, especially my own, but i just cant see how sultan cant get the 1 vote for his performance as pretty much a lone star playing against multiple fresh opponents. Sultan had 41 points on 16-31, 19 reb, 3 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks from the PF position.



Melbourne Goldfish vs. Haggards 79 - 97 (36141697)

In what was billed as a close matchup between 2 teams looking for a high finish in the East, the Xie lead goldfish floundered against the tough opposition of the Haggards. Looks as if despite Haggards choosing an Outside isolation offence they dominated this game inside which reflects in the voting. It must be noted that Haggards played a whole 12 players in the game which is a rare feat these days and still took the chocolates.

3. T. Salgueiro (Haggards) - Tome Salgueiro made an impressive display at Centre against the Goldfish. He shot 9-11 for his 22 points, collected 13 boards and sent back 3 shots into the VIP seats.

2. L. Phillips (Haggards) - Phillips had a well rounded performance at SF, hitting 8-12 shots in his 19 points. He also collected 5 reb and dished out 6 dimes to show he knows what to do.

1. P. Mayhew (Haggards) - Mayhew or Mathew as the journalists usually make the mistake on made it a clean sweep for the Haggards in this game. I couldnt look past Mayhews double double which compared better then any of the Goldfish's performances on the day. He had an efficient 17 points and 14 rebounds.

Week 5 Part 2

CROCKERS vs. Billy Hoyles Boys 46 - 93 (36141701)

This matchup brought another of the Guppies woeful east teams against an abbl powerhouse. I guess the best thing about this game to report is at least the Guppies showed up with a team for the match unlike last week!!

3. M. Bergman (Billy Hoyles Boys) - The Burger-man takes max votes from this game in an intriguing battle versus an old MVP favourite McPhail. Bergman showed his superior class on the way to 32 points on 11-17 with 6-8 of these being 3's. Everyone after the game was shouted a free burger in recognition of his performance.

2. A. Centurión (Billy Hoyles Boys) - Centurion used and abused crockers inside players especially Mingfang the big asian. He had 8 points on 50% shooting and 13 rebounds in 23 mins before having an early shower.

1. Y. Keinan (Billy Hoyles Boys) - Lastly Keinan completes the sweep of votes from the game. He had 5 points and 10 rebounds in his 28min and took the minor votes thanks the Billys other stars having bad shooting nights.


Chelsea Seagulls vs. Glenelg Tigers 91 - 71 (36141698)

This was billed as one of the matches of the round and it surely did deliver! Yoda the self proclaimed blob of a man :-p orchestrated a sensation victory over the previously undefeated Glenelg Tigers and in turn handed the Tigers their 1st Fishbowl private league loss of their career. Thsi win also pushed yoda into the top 2 with Glenelg dropping out but their finals aspirations still alive.

3. R. Forbes (Chelsea Seagulls) - Forbes was an absolute machine in this game. Thats right he was rediculous! The 31yo hit a game high 38 points and connected on 8 3 pointers in the win. He also pulled 4 rebounds and 3 assists without a single apple turnover so it must go down as one of the performances of the PL season.

2. F. Chung Ling (Glenelg Tigers) - The Chungstar unusually takes the 2 votes from this game in a 20 points loss. He got this as the game was still up for grabs at 3q time so he was integral in keeping the game close to that stage. He had a team high 28 points on 11-19, whilst getting 10 reb and 3 assists at the PF position and slightly winning that battle.

1. G. Larbi (Chelsea Seagulls) - Larbi had his colors slightly lowered by Chung but was still an integral part in the team eventual win. He had 14 points, 12 reb and 2 blocks.


Western Titans vs. Da Fat Boy Slim 67 - 82 (36141702)

The last match of the round in the east was another evenly matched event between the 3-1 Titans and the 2-2 Fat Boys. In a must win for the Fat Boys they used their slightly superior defense combined with better tactics offensively using their LI offence to win the game by 15.

3. K. Duffill (DFBS) - Duffman oh Duffman is the only man who can! Duffill takes the 3 votes with a dominating 29 points, 17 rebs and 7 of the most vicious blocks seen in living memory.

2. U. Samdup (Western Titans) - Samdup was the shining light for the Titans hitting a team high 22 points, gathering 16 boards and 4 blocks opposed to the games best player Duffill.

1. H. Degao (DFBS) - The point guards dont get enough love sometimes but on this occasion Degao was noticed with an allround performance. He had 12 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists. A very tidy game indeed!

Well it looks like now Duffill has established a strangelhold on this MVP and now it is his to lose. Fan Chung Ling of the Tigers is starting to look like his only credible threat although there are some very high quality players like Udi Samdup, Tome Salgueiro (Its S-Time baby!) and Mikey Bergman who are still at least statistically in the race and would be expected to continue to poll well. Interesting that the top two teams Billy Hoyles Boys and Chelsea Seagulls have only one player between them in the top 12 although they have 11 different players who have recieved votes between them. Can nyone catch Duffill or is this a one horse race? Will the MVP award not be named the Smeltz award but the Dufill award? In seven hours the teams will be locked in and we shall see!

WEEK SIX PART 1

Tremmell and my good self will be sharing the vote giving duties this week so i wills tart with his game.

Chumunga 100 - 133 Haggards

It was always going to be a tough outing for the 0-5 Chumungans (Cumungites?.....i need clarification here Tremmel!) taking on a very strong Haggards outfit. Any team who rolls out FCP are usually going to be in trouble and in this case game that was definitely the case. It was an interesting game to give votes in as Haggards never let Chununga into the game but there were a couple of outstanding individual efforts from their team.

3 Votes Tomé Salgueiro HAG 18pts 21reb 3 blocks

The Tome slaughtered Chumunga. His 18 points came from just 12 shots, he had the highest +/- in the game and he restricted the oppositions C to a miserable 7-23 from the floor. Throw in an outstanding 21 rebs and 3 blocks as well as only 2 TO's and as far as i'm concerned he was the best man on the court.

2 votes Leigham Phillips HAG 24pts 6 ass 1 stl

The SF with blonde mop had an outstanding offensive game top scoring for Haggards. He was 10-15 from the field including 3-4 on 3's, did not turn the ball over and did a very good job defensively on the Frenchman Amot. Phillips is now 9th in the league in scoring at nearly 20PPG and his ability to contribute on both ends of the floor must be a real bonus for his manager.

1 Vote Selçuk Sultan CHUM - 28pt 11reb 4 ass 5 stls

Again we enter murky territory when handing out the last vote. The Sultan of Swing was clearly Chumunga's best player but he did get out rebounded and was a sieve defensively in letting his direct opponents hit 8-9 from the field. That said his main competition for the 1 vote was the Belgian Bart De Wilde who had 4 turnovers and only 5 assists at PG.

In the end the all around performance was enough to get Sultan the 1 vote. He shot a very respectable 11-22, had 4 dimes and 5 steals as well as his 28 points and 11 boards.

To clarify your question noodles, yes we are known as chumungans. Now back to the votes.....


Da Fat Boy Slim vs. Billy Hoyles Boys 68 - 82 (36141708)

This was an especially important game for Duffill and the fat boy's versus the power team of the East in BHB. The fat boys basically needed a win in this game to stay in touch with a finals place and their loss on the day looks to see them probably finish with a mid-table finish. BHB however goes from strength to strength and is definetly the favourite for the East title half way through the season.

3. M. Bergman (Billy Hoyles Boys) - Coachnoodles made it known to the world recently that bergman is still well and truly chasing this MVP title and he hasn't let up the pressure with a best on court performance. He had 35 points on 12-23 with 7-11 3's, very impressive! Also had a handy 4 rebounds and 5 steals.

2. K. Duffill (Da Fat Boy Slim) - Duffman made sure Bergman didnt make massive ground on him with 2 votes collected from the game. Duffman had 24 points, 21 reb and 4 blocks as his major stats on the day.

1. M. Chongzheng (Billy Hoyles Boys) - Chongzheng picks up the 1 vote for the game with his 7-14 night shooting 18 points, 5 reb, 2 assists and 2 steals.


Slam ! vs. Glenelg Tigers 49 - 85 (36141705)

The next match of the round featured one of the bottom feeders in Slam versus the high flying Glenelg Tigers. Glenelg was looking to bounce back from their 1st loss and stay in touch with the top 2 and they produced a fabulous performance limiting Slam to just 49 points!!

3. B. da Gudiña (Glenelg Tigers) - Bernabe was the star of the night for the Tigers in only his 33mins of court time. He shot 10-15 (25 points), 14 reb, 2 assists and 6 massive blocks which contributed greatly to his teams dominant defensive performance.

2. F. Chung Ling (Glenelg Tigers) - Chung Ling was battling Slam's best player on the night but still showed enough to be rewarded with the 2 votes. From the PF position Chung Ling contributed 29 points, 14 boards, 4 assists, 3 steals and a block.

1. A. Ascariz (Slam) - And the 1 vote goes to Slam's best player on the night, Ascariz. He was a lone presence on offence scoring a team high 18 of the 49 points scored whilst also pulling in 16 reb.


CROCKERS vs. JW City Bulls 85 - 100 (36141706)

JW has shown up for another week of PL action against another tanker....But this time crockers didnt disgrace themselves with one of the great individual scoring performances by a crockers player. In any case though JW took the cake on this occasion.

3. Ð. Cvoro (JW City Bulls) - Cvoro played a fabulous game at the hard SF position abusing Javadov of the crockers. Cvoro had a huge Kevin Love type double double with 32 points, 21 reb, 2 assists and a steal to cap off a fine day at the office.

2. R. McPhail (Crockers) - McPhail takes the 2 votes from this game with a fantastic individual scoring performance at the Sg position where he gave the Bulls coach fitts all night. However he did not have enough support to pull off an upset. He finished with 50 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists and tore shreads of his SG opponent.

1. B. Penik (JW City Bulls) - Penik was just slightly more efficient then his C teammate and as such takes the 1 vote. He shot 10-14 for his 25 points, had 12 boards and 2 steals on the night.

Chelsea Seagulls vs. Melbourne Goldfish 146 - 124 (36141703)

The next matchup was a good old Calamari scorefest with two great friends doing battle PL style! On this occasion though yodabig's Seagulls are the higher ranked team in the PL standings and accordingly they were too good and stay 2nd in the standings. Interestingly fishy won the TO count 42-37 in this game!!

3. X. Guanzheng (Melbourne Goldfish) - Im going to break normal protocol here and actually award the loser the 3 votes!! Sorry yoda....Xie ladies and gentlemen nearly had the ubber rare achievement of getting a quadruple double and dont let the scoreboard fool you, this was only a 7 point game at 3q time! Xie had 47 points on 20-39, 9 reb, 7 assists, 9n steals and a block! Not bad in a losing effort and a performance im sure that makes his owner fishy very proud...

2. C. Landrin (Chelsea Seagulls) - Landrin posted some pretty impressive stats in his 22min of court time. Shooting 9-11 he had 25 points, 9 reb, 2 assists and 5 steals.

1. R. Forbes (Chelsea Seagulls) - Forbes just sneaks in with the 1 vote this week with an allround performance at SF. He had 24 points, 6 reb, 6 assists and 6 steals to go with his 6 turnovers. Ha!


Western Titans vs. Northcote Slammers 81 - 89 (36141707)

And lastly on the Fishbowl PL seafood menu we had a matchup between two evenly matched mid table teams. Both teams took their scoring down low and had very similar stats and ratings for the game, however the buza gods were smiling upon the Slammers on this occasion.

3. D. Polglase (Northcote Slammers) - Familiar votegetter Polglase takes the 3 votes from this contest shooting a respectable 11-21 for his 31 points. He also had 10 rebounds and was on the winning team.

2. A. Rempała (Western Titans) - Rempala was Polglase's PF opponent on the night and was unlucky not to get the 3 votes which were only lost to him thanks to his team losing. He had 24 points and 14 reb while getting 2 steals and 2 blocks.

1. G. Trifonov (Northcote Slammers) - Ive mentioned before that i think sometimes the PG's miss out on some MVP love but on this occasion Trifonov caught my eye with his great 7-8 shooting while getting 6 rebounds and dropping 3 dimes.

This is my first attempt at the MV writeup. If it doesn't meet your expectations then I apologise. If you don't agree with my decisions please feel free to make an appeal. Now that's out of the way, lets begin.

Billy Hoyles Boys vs. Northcote Slammers 87 - 66 (36141714)
The favourite BHB defeated the Slammers with their usual tactics, m2m and motion. Their outside scoring proved to be unstoppable for most of the teams in the east this season. While Bergman on the side line celebrating with the cheerleaders in the 3rd, The Slammers tried to sneak in a come back but they didn't have enough firepower to overcome the rest of BHB team.

3 votes - Mikey Bergman - BHB
unarguably the best player of the match with leading 24 points in only 27 minutes.
2 votes - Pier Giorgio Masetti - NS
While Bergman raining in the 3pts, Pier did his best to keep his team in the race by going down low. Pier had 21 pts, 12rb and a very respectable 10-18 FG.
1 vote - Gianfrancesco Lucia - BHB
The last vote goes to Gianfransco for his rebounding effort which made him stand out amongst others that scored 14 points on the night. Gianfransco had 14 points, 18 rebounds.

Da Fat Boy Slim vs. JW City Bulls 97 - 56 (36141713)
The game was over after the 2nd quarter but out of respect for the opposing team, DFBS drank some coffee and took some pills to stay awake for the rest of the game.

3 votes - Kye Duffill a.k.a Duffman - DFBS
Duffman totally annihilated his defenders with 36 pts, 20 rb, 3blk and 2 asst. Ünal Egeli decided that it's not worth trying to stop the unstoppable so he took a timeout with 6 fouls in 12 minutes.
2 votes - Jasper Kent - JWA
The second vote easily go to Salvatore Mariotti (DFBS) but I can sense Jasper Kent desperation and commitment in trying to help his team through his 'persistent' stats, therefore I reward Jasper Kent with 2 MVP points for his effort. Jasper Kent scored 23 pts, 5 assts, 2 blk, 10 - 29 FG, 0-10 3pts.
1 vote - Salvatore Mariotti - DFBS
Third best scorer on the night with 22 points, 20 rb and 9-13 FG.

CROCKERS vs. Haggards 63 - 98 (36141711)
The Crockers are in a rebuilding mode, whatever they roster on the night is just for show. The Haggards took this opportunity and handed defeat to the crockers before 3rd, letting their starters hit the showers early leaving the rest to their scrubs.

3 votes - Tomé Salgueiro - H
The 25 yo portuguese center bullied his defender for 27 pts, 19 rb, 12-14fg and even have time to tried his luck at the perimeter.
2 votes - Mövsüm Javadov - C
Movsum is still young and in training but proved to be a troublesome for his more experienced defender, scoring 20 pts, 3 assts, 5 rb and 9-14 fg. He also did well defensively, keeping his opponent to just 8 points.
1 vote - Pero Mayhew - H
Even tho he scored less but he is more efficient than others with his 7-14fg. Pero scored 15 points, pulled 12 rebounds in just 25 minutes.

Melbourne Goldfish vs. Chumunga 91 - 57 (36141709)
The Fishy destroyed the Chumunga in another walkerover-liked game. Chumunga, in tanking mode, fielded scrubs and Sultan to entertain the crowd but there was no crowd on the night just the cleaners and water boys.

3 votes - Xie Guanzheng - MG
Even tho the game was over by 2nd half, Xie insisted to stay on for 48 minutes to make sure he gets his 3 MVP votes. Xie score 30 points in 48 minutes against scrubs and grabbed 7 rebounds.
2 votes - Radosław Rymer - MG
Xie faithful sidekick deserves 2 votes for being more efficient than sultan on the court. He scored 18 points in 25 minutes with a 6-12 fg.
1 vote - Selçuk Sultan - Ch
Sultan had to put in more effort because the scrubs couldn't provide any assist. He was the most productive player in his team scoring 20 points in 48 minutes, 9-19 fg, 19 rbs and 3 blks. This probably deserve 2 mvp points but one thing let him down is his defense. During Sultan's 48 minutes on the court, his matchup scored 13 points with a 6-11 fg.

Western Titans vs. Glenelg Tigers 88 - 74 (36141712)
This is probably the best match of the night, both teams performed their best to fight for ladder position. I am quite surprised to see another team with similar game ratings to mine, Glenelg Tigers are well balanced in defense and overpowering inside offense. The Titans demonstrated a very impressive outside scoring but in the end it was their inside defense that led them to their defeat.

3 votes - Fan Chung Ling - GT
The 25 yo chinaman used his kungfu to scored 26 pts with 12-22 fg, grabbed 10 rebounds in 35 minutes against his opponent. very deserving of 3 mvp votes.
2 votes - Pablo Lobato - WT
Pablo, the artist is well deserved of 2 votes for his effort in providing 9 assists even against the opponent tough defense. He also lead his team in scoring with 20 pts.
1 vote - Bernabé da Gudiña - GT
Glenelg Tigers' second tower scored 19 points and grabbed 12 rebounds.
