The significant quarantine breach in the WA Goldfields is to be investigated with the hope of nulling (nullifying) and voiding the visitors' good work @insider Despite being a man down, the Ararat Armadillos have almost-certainly taken this one out, leading the way even with a big fat donut on the field. Coolgardie: 1163 / 14 / 83.1 Ararat: 1308 / 15 / 87.2 Thats a 145 point deficit for the home side to make up, on the back of Hunter Clark. Its possible, but highly HIGHLY unlikely. The visitors have had some ups and downs, with small forward Max Gawn pinch-hitting in the ruck (and covering for Jack Ziebell, who called in sick after the first bounce, much to the coach's disdain), scoring 185 points all by his lonesome. Adam Treloar has also been great support with 158 points. On the bottom end, and aside from Ziebell, there were a pair of 52's (does that make them B-52's ???) in L McDonald and G Miers. The home side 14 have been lead by J Sicily on 149 and T Dumont on 139, keeping things honest, but let down by poor team selection, and three scores in the 40's (O McInerney 48, S Martin 46, and C Serong 42). Everyone still left at the ground is cheering on Hunter Clark to score 146 points or more, and bring home a miraculous win for the Prospectors.
May have missed some scaling along the way but hopefully enough info for draft order calcs, Serengeti have claimed a comfortable win in the end Serengeti 1308 def Pearcedale 1054
Southern Cross lose three on the trot with @Tomster ’s Grenades taking the chocolates by 200 points 1244 - 1044. Bring on the draft!
Anyone have score updates for Korumburra, Nuytsland, Pakenham, King Island, Staghorn Flat, and Blanchetown, please?
Progress score from The Stadium, Banchang sees the visiting Vikings take a slender lead 3/332 to the Barcrawlers 3/274. The weeks break obviously did Tobias Greene the world of good, as he completely dominated Banchang's defence, booting 5 majors in his 166, with Banchang's new signing, Sam Collins, scoring 117 on his debut for the 'Crawlers. @bryzza
Slow start for the visiting Cudas, home side in control up in FNQ Cow Bay - 462 / 5 / 92.4 Groote - 114 / 2 / 57.0
Late in the first quarter at The Sandpit and it’s @wrightbrendan ‘s visiting Buffalos (273/3/91) leading the Sandgropers (262/3/87) by 11 points. Poor performances from Ballard (30) and Cameron (48) had the visitors reeling as the home side marched away with Crozier (105) leading the charge. Josh Kelly (195) however, wasn’t prepared to throw in the towel and his inspirational performance has got Serengeti’s nose back in front. It’s still all to play for in the goldfields. Go ‘Gropers!
At the main break, Banchang are leading Nuytsland 10/791/79.1 to Nuytsland 7/703/100.4. The main contributors in this period of play for the Vikings were Rampe (139), who may have an issue with a broken hand, and Mitchell in the middle with 104. The only shining light for the Home side was 2nd gamer, Peter Ladhams, 2nd Ruck playing in the forward line with 106. This one is The Vikings to lose. @bryzza
Early in the second half at the Sandpit and @wrightbrendan ‘s Buffalos (663/8/83) have extended their lead over the Sandgropers (495/8/83) to 168 points. The visitors were fortunate to have Hanley (66) sub in for mid season recruit McKenzie, who managed to miss the bus for his debut. Points on the board are gold and as such the bookies have Serengeti in front by half a head, but with both teams having similar averages, it’s still anyone’s game. Go ‘Gropers!
The Monarchs have sprinted for home out in Gisborne, leading the Grenades 553/7/76.1 to King Island 1110/12/92.5. I'd love to say the game is still wide open but it really isn't. @Tylo
