Crocodiles - Roosters 06.08.2020

Seinäjoki Crocodiles avasi pistetilinsä Vaahteraliigassa mestaruutta puolustavan Roostersin kustannuksella. Edellisestä viikosta piristyneet krokotiilit voittivat aurinkoisella keskuskentällä pelatun ottelun selkein luvuin 34-13.

Roosters lähti otteluun vaikeista lähtökohdista. Avausottelussa aloittaneista ykkösketjun miehistä peräti viisi puuttui kokoonpanosta. Kukonpojat siirtyivät pelin alussa kahteen kertaan maalin johtoon, mutta vaiheittain Crocodiles sai hyökkäysdieselinsä liikkeelle ja ottelussa 150 jaardia rynninyt Christian Powell ratkaisi kamppailun kotijoukkueen eduksi kolmella maalillaan.

Kahdeksan edellistä mestaruutta ja historiansa aikana yhteensä 22 kannua vienyt Roosters on edellisen kerran aloittanut sarjan kahdella tappiolla murheellisella 2011 kaudellaan. Päävalmentaja Juha Hakala summaa alkukauden vaikeudet seuran instagram-tilillä näin:

-Oli aika vaikea peli taas meille. Puolustuksessa päästettiin isoja pelejä ja hyökkäyksessä tehtiin itsellemme asiat vaikeaksi tiputtamalla palloja ja muutama pallonmenetys jälleen kerran tänään vaivasi meitä. Omaa tekemistä pitää pystyä edelleen siivota paremmaksi ja virheistä pitää päästä eroon. Tällä hetkellä, kun mennään tiukasti omalla porkalla niin meillä pitää ihan selkeästi omasta porukasta pitää löytyä ne kundit jotka tahtoo tehdä isoja pelejä. Ei auta muuta, kun tehdä lisää töitä ja parantaa tästä loppukautta kohden. Nyt on niin sanotusti alkulämmittelyt vedetty ja enää ei ole varaa löysäillä.

Crocodiles lähti kauden ensimmäiseen kotiotteluunsa silminnähden innostuneena. Tim Thomasin liittyminen Spencer Cutlanin johtamaan hyökkäykseen toi selkeästi ryhtiä toimintaan, sekä pari arvokasta koppia. Todelliset työn sankarit löytyivät torstain illassa kuitenkin Crocodiles puolustuksesta. Ranskalaispelaaja Hadrien Lynda sekä Crocojen nuorisomyllyn oma kasvatti Mikko Havulehto onnistuivat torjumaan pelinrakentaja Miro Kadmiryn heitot ratkaisevilla hetkillä näyttävästi ja estivät punakoneen vyöryn maalialueelleen. Myös yhdysvaltalaispelaaja Alexander Germany onnistui kertaalleen katkaisemaan Kadmiryn heiton maalialueen tuntumassa.

Vaahteraliigan runkosarja on kaudella 2020 viiden ottelun mittainen. Kautta edeltävissä spekulaatioissa arvioitiin kolmen otteluvoiton varmistavan joukkueelle todennäköisen paikan playoff-peleihin. Hallitsevalla mestarilla tulee pikkuhiljaa kiire saavuttaa nuo tarvittavat voitot. Roostersilla on runkosarjassa enää kolme ottelua jäljellä (Butchers, Royals, Wolverines).

Torstain taisteluparin molemmat osapuolet lähtevät otteluun tappio harteillaan. Kotijoukkue Crocodiles on saanut viikon alle yhteisharjoituksia tuoreiden vahvistustensa kanssa. Roosters nuolee haavojaan ja lähtee otteluun sisuuntuneena.

Vaahteraliigan ensimmäisen sarjakierroksen suurin alisuorittaja oli Seinäjoki Crocodiles. Joukkue ei päässyt sarja-avauksessaan rytmiin mukaan pelin alussa ja vastustaja meni menojaan. Roosters sai omassa ottelussaan unelma-alun, mutta pelin loppua kohden kolhut ja kovatasoinen vastustaja ottivat mestarijoukkueelta parhaan terän pois. Lyhyessä sarjassa kahden pelin tappioputki ei ole toivottava, mikäli haluaa hyvistä asemista pudotuspeleihin. Ollaan siis jo isojen asioiden äärellä.

Tim Thomas tekee paluun vihreään paitaan

Crocodiles lähtee Roosters-peliin pitkälti samalla kokoonpanolla kuin avauspeliinsä. Merkittävin muutos rosterissa on monipuolisen Tim Thomasin paluu vaahteraliigakentille. Thomasin edelliset kauden Crocodiles-paidassa (2015 & 2016) tuottivat joukkueelleen yhteensä 26 touchdownia ja 1653 jaardia etenemistä kiinniotoilla. Brittilaiturilla on hyvää kokemusta myös torstain vastustajastaan. Vuonna 2017 Thomas oli voittamassa Vaahteramaljaa Roostersin miehistössä.

Seinäjokisten suurimmat haasteet ensimmäisessä ottelussaan löytyivät Spencer Cutlanin johtamasta heittohyökkäyksestä. Yhden ylimääräisen laiturin lisääminen rosteriin ei välttämättä korjaa asiaa, mutta Thomasin tasoisen miehen marssittaminen kentälle sitoo vastustajan takakentältä miehen tiiviimmin pois muusta pahanteosta. Viikko sitten Helsingissä Cutlan heitti pallon viidesti vastustajan hyppysiin. Toista kertaa tähän ei ole enää varaa.

Crocodiles puolustus lähtee kotioteluun samalla aloituskokoonpanolla mukaan lukien Veikka Lehtonen tukimiehen paikallaan joukkueen ykköstaklaaja Jaska Värisen rinnalla.

Roosters peliin ilman Pajarista

Roosters koki avauspelissään kolhuja muutoinkin kuin vain tulostaululla. Pelinrakentaja Miro Kadmiry nilkutti pois kentältä ottelun viimeisellä neljänneksellä ja maan ykköskeskushyökkääjä Karri Pajarinen on poissa rosterista Seinäjoella. Joukkueen tiedotteen mukaan Pajarinen on poissa pelaavasta kokoonpanosta pitkälle runkosarjan loppupuolelle. Hyökkäyslinjan avaajista ovat poissa Richard Laine ja Samuli Vehkomäki, joista Laineen kausi on joukkueen mukaan ohi käsivamman johdosta. Kadmiry on toipunut pelikuntoon ja aloittaa pelinrakentajana. Avaavan keskushyökkääjän paikalla pelaa Antti Lahtinen. Myös Velodromilla lähes 300 jaardia kiinniotoillaan edennyt Johannes Jauhiainen ei ole mukana kokoonpanossa. Roostersin tiedotteen mukaan Jauhiainen on poissa useita viikkoja ylävartalovamman takia.

Toinen merkittävä muutos Roostersin aloituskokoonpanossa löytyy puolustuksen linjasta. Okko Outinen on merkitty poissaolijoiden listalle ja hänen paikallaan pelaa Camille Gruel. Outisen osalta ei löydy mainintaa joukkueen loukkaantuneiden listalta.

Edellisen kierroksen tappio Kuopio Steelersille näkyi tulostaululla numeroina 34-43. Tappiosta huolimatta Roosters voitti joukkueiden etenemiskilpailun selvästi jaardein 483-307 ja osoitti kykenevänsä nopeaan ja tehokkaaseen hyökkäyspeliin. Nyt Seinäjoelle on matkaamassa joukkue, jonka miehistöstä puuttuu viisi edellisen pelin avauksen pelaajaa. Tästä tulee jännittävä peli.
