@insider its like soccer in the Goldfields right now. nil-all after the first of 9 stanzas, with all players still warming up in the rooms. They all heard the siren, but none chose to make their way out onto the field.
It’s The Buff well on top late in this one at The Crater @ron swanson Serengeti 879/10/88 v Carnamah 712/11/65
ah ok. Yep I’m a little slow. Also, you’ve shafted me with not having Jack Higgins score. He got a respectable 75 I believe
Serengeti have run out comfortable winners down in The Crater @ron swanson Serengeti 1333 v Carnamah 1049
Full Time at the Eden Sporting Complex and it's Plovers 1056, Crocs 1213. For the positives, we got the 1000, also Chandler got a vote. Crocs got 4 players over 100, with Sheezel leading the way with 141. Their backline was good with Wilkie and McGrath both getting the 100+. In the wildcard ruck matchup, Chapman got the win after 2 losses earlier. Next week Plovers are off to Junee whilst Cow Bay face Groote Eyelandt. BAFFU: Sheezel 3, Wilkie 2, Chandler 1 Giant Tap: Chapman 58 def Moraes 20
Full time at the Goldfields and late outs have completely screwed over the home side. The Ever-reliable Coolgardie defence was a real disappointment this week, with Worrell and Short performing well, while Sicily and Wanganeen-Milera have a lot to answer for. For the boys from Ararat, Blakey and Ryan were having a field day, while McDonald did very well, with only the ever-reliable Stewart being un-reliable! Ararat won the line by 41 points. The midfield was a tight tussle, with no player from either team really standing up and taking the game on. Serong and Miller performed well enough for the locals, while Sanders did likewise for the visitors. There will be some anger pointed towards Bruhn, Thomas, Brayshaw, and Pillipou, who were all below average. Coolgardie won the line by 97 points The rucks was all one-way traffic, with the experienced Jackson schooling McAndrew in the art of rucking (and getting some dodgy free kicks paid right infront of goals, but I'm not bitter!), easily winning the big tap contest. The forward lines for both sides was an absolute nightmare. Two scores over 70 (Wright for the locals, Higgins for the visitors), while Waterman ran around in the magoos scoring at will. I can't speak for the Ararat coach, but the whip will be cracking at Coolgardie training this week! Coolgardie won the line by 42 points. ...and the interchange was the difference, with team announcements meaning that the Coolgardie coach was left deceived by the lies published prior to lockout by the AFL, and ended up playing a man down. Aliir was no match for Humphries and Edwards, being belted by 118 points, and giving Ararat the win in a low-scoring slug-fest. What should have been a spectacle of high-scoring and high-skills by the top two sides on the ladder going into the round, turned out to be a huge disappointment, with only the Ararat coach seen smiling after the match, simply because he knew his side had escaped with the win. The votes: 3 - N Blakey, Ararat, 128 2 - L Jackson, Ararat, 125 1 - L Ryan, Ararat, 116 Next up sees Ararat back home to take on Staghorn Flat, while Coolgardie will be looking to make amends on the trip to Blanchetown. Good luck to all four teams.
