Roosters - Royals 19.08.2021

Helsinki Roosters voitti torstai-illan kamppailussa Wasa Royalsin puhtain lukemin 28-0 (0-7) ja varmisti kotiedun välieräkierrokselle. Voitto ei tullut helpolla harvalukuisen Royalsin antaessa Velodromilla hienon näytöksen taistelutahdostaan.

Helsinki Roosters lähti torstain peliin hakemaan kotietua Vaahteraliigan playoff-kierrokselle. Otteluun lähdettiin pelipäivän parhaalla kokoonpanolla eikä valmennus sortunut antamaan vapaavuoroja joukkueen tähtipelaajille. Vierasjoukkue Royals saapui Helsinkiin ilman erityisiä paineita ja päivän teemaksi oli valittu hauskan pitäminen ja täysillä painaminen. Illan päätteeksi molemmat joukkueet saivat toivomansa, Roosters varmisti kotiedun välieriin ja Royals sai päättää kautensa hienoon taisteluun.

Roostersilla vaikea alku

Torstai-illan peli Velodromilla oli kaikkea muuta kuin odotettu Roostersin näytös. Royals piti kotijoukkueen tiukoilla läpi pelin ja pisteitä päästiin takomaan taululle vasta toisella neljänneksellä. Kolme Roostersin neljästä hyökkäysvuorosta pelin ensimmäisellä puoliskolla päättyivät pallonmenetyksiin, joista kaksi tapahtui vastustajan red zonella maaliviivan tuntumassa.

Roosters eteni märällä Velodromi turffilla 297 jaardia joista 183 heittopeleillä. Miro Kadmiryn suosikkikohteena torstaina oli MIcky Kyei, joka keräsi seitsemällä kiinniotollaan 97 jaardia ja yhden touchdownin. Juoksupeleissä vastuu jaettiin tasan Andrecus Lindleyn ja Mike Gentilin kesken molempien kannettua palloa seitsemän kertaa. Gentili keräsi jälleen jaardeja enemmän (65 yds) mutta Lindley onnistui kertaalleen murtautumaan pallon kanssa vastustajan maalialueelle.

Punapaitojen puolustuksessa ykköstaklaajana urakoi Roni Salonen 7,5 taklauksellaan. Vaahteraliigan säkkitilaston kakkonen ei onnistunut torstaina kartuttamaan tilastojaan ja näin Steelersin Radji jatkaa toistaiseksi sarjan säkkikuninkaana. Roosters-puolustuksessa takakentällä pelannut Viljo Lempinen onnistui erinomaisesti heittopuolustuksissaan ja sai illan päätteeksi vastaanottaa Pohjola Vakuutuksen vakuuttavimman pelaajan palkinnon

Royals jännittää divarijoukkueiden päätöksiä

Wasa Royals pelasi Helsingin illassa hienon pelin, mutta taistelua ei palkittu sarjapistein. Tappio merkitsee joukkueella varmaa sijoitusta Vaahteraliigan runkosarjan seitsemännelle sijalle ja sarjapaikka on katkolla kauden päätteeksi. I-divisioonan mestaruuden voittanut joukkue on rankingissa liiigajumbon yläpuolella ja on halutessaan ja lisenssikriteerit täyttäessään etusijalla kauden 2022 liigalisenssejä myönnettäessä.

Royals saapui Helsinkiin seuran puheenjohtaja Martti Kassin mukaan pitämään hauskaa ilman mitään paineita. 25 pelaajan rosterissa useampikin mies pelasi läpi pelin kahteen suuntaan ja kokonaisuutena joukkue onnistui tarjoamaan liigan kakkosena olevalle Roostersille odoettuakin kovemman vastuksen.

Roostersin kova puolustuksen frontti onnistui sulkemaan juoksuväylät keskushyökkääjän paikalle pelanneilta Nico Barrowlta sekä Sam Dickeyltä eikä pelinrakentaja Brandon Gwinnerkään löytänyt aukkoja aiempien pelien lailla. Torstaina Gwinnerin jaardit jäivät lukemiin 39 joka on sama luku kuin joukkueen yhteensä keräämä juoksujen nettojaardimäärä. Yhdeksällä onnistuneella heitollaan Royals saavutti etenemistä yhteensä 126.

Vaasalaisten taistelun näyttävimmät suorituksen nähtiin upeasti pelanneen puolustuksen puolella. Pelin ensimmäisellä puoliskolla Sam Dickey, Nico Barrow ja Tommy Kaczocha onnistuivat riistämään pallon Roostersilta haltuunsa maalintekopeikoista pitäen suorituksillaan pelin tiukkana puoliajalle siirryttäessä. Taistelutahdon puutteesta ei voi myöskään moittia Royals takapuolustaja Peter Lundströmiä, joka käsi kipsattuna keräsi joukkueensa korkeimmat taklauslukemat (5,5).

Royals kaatui torstaina Helsingissä saappaat jalassa ja ottelun jälkeisessä Ruutu-haastattelussa joukkueen puolustuslinjan jätti ja seuran puheenjohtaja Martti Kass vaikutti tyytyvaiseltä miehistönsä esitykseen, mutta myös silminähden helpottuneelta vaikean kauden nyt päättyessä. Puheenjohtajan usko tulevaisuuteen on horjumaton.

Vaahteraliigan sarjataulukossa toisena oleva Helsinki Roosters saa torstaina vieraita Vaasasta. Kotijoukkueella on mahdollisuus varmistaa pelissä playoff-kierroksen kotietu, mutta vastaan asettuu kovasta taisteluilmeestä tunnettu Royals, jolle peli on viimeinen oljenkorsi jumbopaikan välttämiseen.

Helsinki Roosters on voittanut kuudesta pelaamastaan ottelusta viisi ja torstaina tarjoutuu kuudennella voitolla mahdollisuus varmistaa välieräpeli omalle kotiareenalle syyskuun ensimmäiseksi viikonlopuksi. Helsinkiläiset kohtaavat kahdella viimeisellä pelikerroksella perättäin pohjalaisjoukkueet Royalsin ja Crocodilesin, joista jälkimmäinen kärkkyy yhä nälkäisenä välieräpeliä omalle areenalleen.

Royals suistettiin Vaahteraliigan putoajan paikalle viime viikonlopun jännitysnäytelmässä Lohjalla. Sarjapaikan varmistaminen edellyttää vaasalaisilta voittoa Roostersista sekä Crusadersille tappioita joukkueen kahdesta viimeisestä pelistä. Tasapisteissä oleminen kääntää voiton aina lohjalaisten puolelle viime perjantain voiton ansiosta.

Roosters liikkeelle vahvalla miehistöllä

Kotijoukkue Roosters lähtee varmistamaan runkosarjan kakkospaikkaa vahvalla kokoonpanolla. Edellisestä Wolverines-pelistä avauskokoonpanosta puuttuneet Roni Salonen, Filip Jönsson ja Viljo Lempinen palaavat paikoilleen varmistamaan, että vastustajalle ei tarjota isoja pelejä Velodromilla.

Roostersin puolustus on hieman yllättäen päästänyt toistaiseksi sarjan puolustuksista eniten jaardeja taakseen per peli, joten tällä osa-alueella Kalle Karppisen koordinoimalla puolustuksella on vielä varaa parantaa. Tukimies Roni Salosella (5,5 säkkiä) on erinomaiset mahdollisuudet ohittaa Steelersin Semmie Radji (7,5 säkkiä) sarjan säkitystilaston kunkkuna, joten Royalsin liikkuvalle pelinrakentajalle on odotettavissa rankka iltapuhde Helsingissä.

Helsinkiläisten hyökkäysmiehistöstä puuttuu edelleen maajoukkuepelissä loukkaantunut keskushyökkääjä Karri Pajarinen, jonka odotetaan palaavan kentälle aikaisinaan välieräpeliin syyskuu alussa. Pelipaikkakohtaista ongelmaa joukkueelle ei kuitenkaan ole Andrecus Lindleyn ja Mike Gentilin vuorotellessa pallonkantajana.

Pelinrakentaja Miro Kadmiry on Vaahteraliigan tilastojen paalupaikalla heitetyissä jaardeissa (1511) ja touchdowneissa (18) eikä vastustajan katkomia syöttöjä ole tullut kuin neljä. Keskimäärin peleissä on edetty Kadmiryn johdolla heittäen 251 jaardia, joka tekee Roostersista Vaahteraliigan vaarallisimman heittojoukkueen. Torstain rosteriin palloja vastaanottamaan on kirjattu peräti 10 laituria, joista eniten jaardeja on kerännyt vasta kolme peliä joukkueen mukana ollut Rashad Still (370 yds).

Royals selkä seinää vasten

Vaasa Royals lähtee kauden viimeiseen peliinsä ahtaasta paikasta. Torstai-illalle ajoitettuun peliin olisi saatava kasaan taisteleva rosteri, jonka tavoitteena on pakollisen voiton hakeminen. Kuninkaan miesten pelaajalista on harventunut kauden edetessä, mutta alustavaan Helsinkiin suuntaavaan rosteriin on kirjattu 25 pelaajan nimet.

Royalsin liigataipaleen aikana on pääsy näkemään, että rosterin pituus ja menestys eivät heidän tapauksessansa kulje aina käsi kädessä. Kuluvalla kaudellakin lähtökohdat peleihin eivät ole olleet parhaat mahdolliset, mutta aina jollain ilveellä päävalmentaja John Booker on onnistunut loihtimaan kentälle miehistön, joka taistelee voitosta viimeiseen asti.

Torstainakin tulemme näkemään kentällä avainpelaajien uhrautuvaa peliä molemmin puolin palloa. Erityisesti Tommy Kaczochaa ei ole montaakaan downia päästy näkemään sivurajalla miehen uurastaessa laitahyökkääjän, potkujen palauttajan ja takapuolustajan rooleissaan tuloksekkaasti. Myös linjoja vahvistava Ray Lima sekä avaavana keskushyökkääjänä pelaava Nico Barrow kuuluvat urakointiryhmän näkyvimpiin pelaajiin. Yhdysvaltalainen tukimies Sam Dickey keskittyy lähinnä puolustuksen downeihin, mutta urakoinnin puutteesta miestä ei voi moittia. Dickey johtaa Vaahteraliigan taklaustilastoa 51.5 taklauksellaan.

Helsinki Roosters lähtee torstain kotipeliinsä selkeänä ennakkosuosikkina. Royalsin ahdinko sarjan putoajan paikalla saattaa kuitenkin innostaa päävalmentaja Bookerin kaivamaan vielä yhteen kertaan uusia luova ratkaisuja pelikirjastaan ja tuo peliin oman erityismausteensa.

Vaahteraliigan 9. kierroksen ottelu Helsinki Roosters – Wasa Royals pelataan Helsingissä Käpylän Velodromilla torstaina 19. elokuuta. Ottelun kickoff poikkeuksellisesti jo 17.30. Liput kannattaa ostaa ennakkoon Lippu.fi. Suora lähetys Ruutu+ kanavalla käyntiin jo 17.00
