Wolverines - Roosters 12.08.2021

Helsinkiläisten vaahteraliigajoukkueiden toinenkin keskinäinen kamppailu päättyi Roostersin selkeään voittoon 8–42 (8-28). Kukonpoikien kausi jatkuu vielä runkosarjassa, mutta täydet 8 peliä pelannut Wolverines voi rauhassa käynnistää jo nyt uuden kauden suunnittelun.

Vaahteraliigan sarjataulukossa toisena oleva Roosters lähti torstai-illan kamppailuun selkeänä ennakkosuosikkina. Kumpikin joukkue lähti otteluun rosterilla, josta useampikin avainpelaaja oli poissa. Poissaoloista huolimatta kentällä nähtiin varsinkin ottelun ensimmäisellä neljänneksellä hyvää jenkkifutista. Ottelun edetessä ja erityisesti neljännen neljänneksen aikana molemmat joukkueet pääsivät antamaan pelikokemusta reservimiehilleen.

Wolverinesin (3–5) repaleinen kausi päättyi tappioon

Viime kauden finalistin, Wolverinesin kausi on ollut offseasonista lähtien haastava. Valmennusjohdon alkuperäinen suunnitelma ei ole toteutunut missään vaiheessa kahden yhdysvaltalaispelinrakentajan tehtyä oharit ja tähtilaituriksi hankitun bahamalaispelaajan osoittauduttua joksikin muuksi kuin odotetuksi ratkaisijaksi. Myös muutokset valmennustiimissä eivät voineet olla sekoittamatta pakkaa loppukaudesta. Wolverines toteutti kuitenkin Tami Tammisen oppia – win the right games – ja on kauden päätteeksi turvassa putoamisuhasta hyvissä ajoin ennen pahimpien haastajiensa runkosarjapäätöstä.

Wolverinesilla oli otteluun lähdettäessä ohuen ohut oljenkorsi pudotuspeleihin, mutta viimeistään viikon aikana avaavasta puolustuksesta mies kerrallaan pudonneet EU-statuksen yhdysvaltalaiset pudottivat voiton todennäköisyyden minimiin. ELF-sarjaan siirtyneen Curtis Slaterin ja henkilökohtaisista syistä pelistä pois olleen Benjamin Egbudiwen lisäksi takapuolustaja Eric Irvinin ilmoitettiin jäävän pois ottelusta vain tunteja ennen kickoffia.

Puuttuvat palaset huomioiden Wolverines pelasi torstaina kelpo pelin. Lähes koko kauden loukkaantuneena ollut keskushyökkääjä Breon Allen pääsi jättämään positiivisen loppukuvan itsestään vetäisemällä puolikuntoisena muutaman pitkän siivun Velodromin turffilla. Viimeisellä neljänneksellä vauhtiin päästetyn nuoren Sebastian Lugoran varmat juoksut saivat pohtimaan miksi mies ei ole saanut vastuuta enempää kauden aikana. Kaikkiaan Wolverines keräsi ottelussa juoksujaardeja tasan 200, jotka jakautuivat Allenille 69, pelinrakentaja Jordan Williamsille 64, Lugoralle 52 ja Joonatan El Ouacefille 15. Joukkueen tuloksekkain laitahyökkääjä oli Matias Tuominen kolmella kopilla kerätyllä 33 jaardilla.

Avainpelaajien puuttumisesta huolimatta Wolverinesin puolustuksessa joukkueen nuori kaarti kantoi vastuuta tuloksellisesti. Taklaustilaston kärkimiehiä torstaina olivat Willy Lindfors kuudella, Arttu Ketonen viidellä ja Aleksi Kylli 3,5 taklauksellaan. Takapuolustaja Dajion Lynch piti jälleen kerran yhden liigan tähtilaitureista pimennossa eikä Roostersin Rashad Stillille kirjattu pelissä kuin kolme koppia.

Roosters (5-1) pelasi kovalla rutiinilla

Roosters otti torstain pelissä varsin rutiininomaisen voiton, vaikka vastustaja onnistui pelin alussa rimpuilemaan pelissä mukana. Ottelun vakuuttavimmaksi pelaajaksi valittu Miro Kadmiry onnistui viemään kaikki aloittamansa hyökkäysvuorot maaliin saakka. Joukkueen ykkösetenijänä oli keskushyökkääjä Andrecus Lindley, joka 11 kannollaan kuljetti palloa eteenpäin 122 jaardia ja onnistui kahteen kertaan TD:n teossa. Kauden avauspelinsä pelannut Mike Gentili ylsi 92 jaardiin ja teki yhden maalin juosten. Laitureista parhaat statsit keräsi Micky Kyei (6/57 ja TD), mutta pallo tarttui pelin aikana yhteensä seitsemän vastaanottajan hyppysiin. Toinen Roostersin heittomaaleista oli Arttu Erkkilän käsialaa.

Ottelun viimeisellä neljänneksellä pelin johtamisvastuu annettiin nuorelle Ambro Urjanssonille, mutta hyvistä yrityksistä huolimatta Urjanssonin TD-tili jäi tältä kaudelta vielä avaamatta.

Kukonpoikien puolustuksesta puuttui otteluun lähdettäessä useita avauskokoonpanossa normaalisti pelaavia miehiä (mm. Akseli Olin, Arttu Pajarinen, Roni Salonen, Viljo Lempinen), mutta leveän rosterin ansiosta kentälle saapuneet pitivät riittävän hyvin vastustajan hyökkäyksen pihdeissään. Akseli Vartiainen oli torstai-illassa joukkueensa tehokkain 6,5 taklauksellaan.

Ottelun jälkeisessä haastattelussa pelinrakentaja Miro Kadmiry oli silmin nähden tyytyväinen joukkueensa pelisuoritukseen ja kiitti hyökkäyksen linjaa saamastaan ruhtinaallisesta pelinlukuajasta.

Vaahteraliigan 8. kierroksen avaa paikallispeli Helsingissä. Wolverines (3-4) ja Roosters (4-1) kohtasivat toisensa kertaalleen liigaviikolla 2 ja tuolloin Roosters vei pisteet lukemin 28-22 (14-0).

Kotijoukkue Wolverines pelaa torstaina runkosarjan viimeisen pelinsä. Mikäli Roosters ottaa kamppailussa voiton, on peli samalla viime vuoden finalistin päätöspeli kaudella 2021. Ahmoilla on vielä hiuksen hienot mahdollisuudet yltää playoff-peleihin, mutta torstaina voiton ohella joukkue tarvitsisi useampia epäonnistumisia Butchersilta ja/tai Crocodilesilta kauden päätöskierroksilla. Teoriassa Wolverines voi vielä pudottaa jopa Roostersin pudotuspeleistä, mutta tuon toteutuminen edellyttäisi yli 6 pisteen voittoa torstaina ja Roostersin töydellistä romahtamista kauden lopuissa peleissään.

Roosters lähtee otteluun tappio harteillaan. Sarjan kärkijoukkueiden kohdatessa ennen maaottelutaukoa Steelers kävi hakemassa pisteet Helsingistä tiukoin 32-35 lukemin. Iso osa Roostersin runkopelaajista oli mukana Suomen EM-karsintapelissä, joten ottelussa on mielenkiintoista seurata miten valmennusjohto jakaa kuormaa leveän rosterin muille pelaajille. Kukonpojat tarvitsevat vielä lisää sarjapisteitä playoff-pelien kotiedun varmistamiseen

Wolverines peliin ilman Slateria

Helsinki Wolverines menetti hyökkäys- ja puolustuspelinsä kärkipelaajan Curtis Slaterin miehen siirtyessä Saksaan ELF-sarjaan pelaamaan. Tätä kirjoitettaessa joukkuetta ei ole julkaistu. Torstain rosterista puuttuu myös puolustuslinjan ykkösmies Benjamin Egbudiwen nimi. Egbudive oli lauantaina Myyrmäessä pelanneessa Team Swedenissä, mutta puuttuu nyt Wolverinesin vahvuudesta. Maajoukkueleiri verotti Wolverinesilta myös takapuolustaja Elmeri Laalon joukkueen toipilasosastolle.

Wolverines hakemaan voittoa pelistä pitkään loukkaantuneena olleen keskushyökkääjä Breon Allenin juoksupelin kautta. Mikäli Allen on torstaina täydessä tikissä, tulee ahma-joukkueen pelivalikoima monipuolistumaan kahden yhdysvaltalaispelaajan yhdessä luoman juoksu-uhan avulla. Pelinrakentaja Jordan Williams on ollut joukkueensa kahden viimeisen voittopelin pääarkkitehti ja tulee olemaan Roostersin kovan puolustuksen vartioinnissa läpi pelin. Mitään heittojuhlaa Wolvojen hyökkäykseltä lienee turha odottaa kauden kahden tehokkaimman laiturin (Slater + Phung Nguyen) ollessa poissa kokoonpanosta.

Wolverinesin puolustuksessa suurta vastuuta tulevat kantamaan nuoret nimet Willy Lindfors, Viljami Rautavirta, Aleksi Kylli, Jonis Heikkinen, Veeti Puustinen ja Edo Waxlax. Kokoonpanoon on torstaiksi merkitty myös Rufail Khalifa, joka ei ollut joukkueen Royals-pelissä ennakkotieoista poiketen mukana.

Roosters koki kolhuja maaottelutauolla

Suomen EM-välieräpeliin valmistautuneessa maajoukkueessa oli mukana yli 20 Roostersin pelaajaa. Useampikin punapaita otti pelissä iskuja vastaan ja ainakin Karri- ja Arttu Pajarinen ovat välieräpelissä saamiensa vammojen takia poissa miehistöstä. Maajoukkuepelaajista Akseli Olin ja Roni Salonen ovat ilmoitettuina epävarmojen listalle ja joukkueen tuore ruotsalaisvahvistus Filip Jönsson ei ole mukana pelaavassa kokoonpanossa torstaina. Myös Jönsson osallistui maansa maajoukkueleirille viime viikolla, mutta ei ollut mukana voitokkaassa miehistössä lauantaina.

Roosters esittelee pelissä tuoreena vahvistuksena yhdysvaltalaisitalialaisen Mike Gentilin. Gentilillä saattaa olla paljon hampaankolossaan nimenomaan Wolverinesia kohtaan. Joukkueiden edellisessä kohtaamisessa Brahen kentällä elokuussa 2020 Gentili sai suihkukomennuksen kahden epäurheilijamaisen käyttäytymisen johdosta ja joutui seuraaman sivusta joukkueensa tappiota ja kauden päättymistä playoff-pelien ulkopuolelle.

Roosters lähtee peliin selkeänä ennakkosuosikkina. Pelinrakentaja Miro Kadmiryllä on laiturivalikoimassaan huikea määrä taitoa, eikä Karri Pajarisen puuttuminen miehistöstä heikennä dramaattisesti joukkueen juoksuvoimaa. Pallon kantajina tullaan näkemään Gentilin ohella Andrecus Lindley joka on saanut nauttia Pajarisen tarjoamista lepohetkistä läpi kauden.

aahteraliigan 8. kierroksen paikallisottelu Wolverines-Roosters pelataan torstaina 12. elokuuta Käpylän Velodromilla. Liput kannattaa hankkia ajoissa Lippu.fi. Ottelu potkaistaan käyntiin 18.30 ja suora JedX-studio kentän laidalta Ruutu+ kanavalla jo klo 18.00 alkaen.
