#12 Sámrson – Seriously Hurt (MNG)
#3 Márdóttir – Smashed Knee (-MA)
“Dwarves were magnificent, as was CoachBuck.
We could not really compete this game. Dwarves walked in two very easy TD, and we struggled on ours and had to get lucky. As CoachBuck mentions- we were sacked.
We were certainly bashed off the pitch, so I can take two learnings here:
1. Don't go to war with Dwarves. CoachBuck didn't leave me any options (that I could see) and my engagement was through desperation. AV8 vs AV10... yeah... that was only going to end one way.
2. Pay attention to TV and inducements. We should have bought more players before readying team. Bribe inducement does not work when you don't have a bench. V silly.
We tried to get hits on that pesky guard player, it is true. Ideally a foul as well, but they never came off. Sandwich that guy next time. Rule of 2 and all that.
You say loose dwarf defence, but found the sack well, had backfield coverage, and pinned us on the sidelines where we had no agency. All starting with a player down (which you quickly reversed through good block generation.
It was one way traffic, and terrific Dwarf coaching, so take those wins as well with the learnings.
Good luck in the next round.

1. 1Ds and -2Ds
1Ds and especially -2Ds against players with Block is foolish unless absolutely necessary. I should know this, but there was a moment when I went for a 1D blitz on one of his lineman and got a both down that I couldn't re-roll. Stuck in place I gifted him an extra hit on a blitzer that wasn't necessary. There were other instances as well.
2. Protecting the Guard Player
I felt like my guard piece was always getting targeted, specifically by S4 Frenzy blitzes. This leads me to think that I was exposing that crucial player and allowing my opponent to use Frenzy to put him in disadvantageous positions. Generally I'm pretty thoughtful about what pieces my opponent can blitz, and specifically trying to trap the second hit, but clearly that wasn't the case with my Guard blocker today.
3. Loose Defense
My opponent aligned with a wide front on his offense forcing me to do the same, but while being down a player, and while trying not to get too close to the edges that I get surfed. The defensive plan felt like we were just gradually giving ground, and hoping our armor didn't break. We managed a lucky 1D on the carrier eventually, but the scrum to follow was a mess. The numbers situation played a huge role as his ulf tied up 2 Blockers at one point, essentially dropping us to one less player. Need to consider if there was a better way to do this.
4. Going to War
In OT we had a moment where my opponent aggressively marked everything, and we were somewhat able to fight them off. The hinge point ended up being a failed block on his turn that sprung us free. I was genuinely worried though that if we didn't get out, there was a strong possibility of the game going to kicks.
