Mole Creek Squad Def: Saad, Rioli, Atkins, Ridley (Williams) Mid: Laird, Danger, Kelly, Petracca (Perryman) Ruc: Darcy (Reeves) Fwd: Rankine, Heeney, Curnow, Greene (Darling) Int: Pendles, Short
Only one of the two planes carrying the Black Swamp team to Mac Island @Darran has touched down carrying 12 players for this weekend's marquee matchup, if the others arrive in time they may be fortunate enough to make the AFL sub spot and bolster numbers to a slightly more competitive position.
Nangkita Bucks: Def: Docherty, Day, Dale, Hinge (Heppell) Mid: Hopper, Cripps, Treloar, Anderson (O'Driscoll) Ruc: Marshall Fwd: C.Cameron, MacPherson, Ainsworth, Thilthorpe (Henry) Int: E.Langdon, O'Meara (Hughes)
Round 7 - Useless Loop Virgins Def: Steven May, Lewis Young, Brennan Cox, James Sicily (Griffin Logue) Mid: Lachie Neale, Rory Sloane, James Worpel, Steele Sidebottom Ruck: Tom Campbell (James Jordon*) Fwd: Errol Gulden, Aaron Naughton, Zak Butters, Liam Baker (Ben Hobbs) Int: Isaac Smith, Cameron Zurhaar (Josh Battle) Out: Cameron Zurhaar In: Josh Battle
The Virgin's finish on 1,226/15 81.7 to the Boozers @leematty1 on 1,235/15 82.3 Errol & Butters tried as they might to swing the match, however the Boozers take it again, well done coach.
Unofficial scores have the 29ers 1033 prevailing over the Whales 1029 @Darran despite a 2 player disadvantage in a match which severely disappointed fans wanting a free scoring contest but satisfied those wanting a tight and thrilling finish. Edit - the 29ers score of 1033 was the 4th lowest ever winning score, showing their good fortune to pick up the 4 points
Not only is the streak over, but it was a thumping! Drouin 1528 (25th highest score ever) easily dispatch Mole Creek 1177
Fugitives look to have upset the high flying Ducks, results 1230ish to 1160 ish in a boilover at the Winery
Congrats to the Dropbears on the win and to the Glow-Worms for setting a record which will take some beating, 19 straight and 33 of 34 is a phenomenal effort !!
doesn't feel real til the site rolls over, it's like a score review and I'm just waiting for the ARC to give it the all clear!
Well played @tyze1 and the Fugitives, I had a good streak going but the Ducks just didn't show up this week. Even sadder is I literally got my best 15 on the park and still only managed 1160! Revenge coming up this week against the old nemesis Walpole Woylies, even if P_L is no longer coach.
Hard fought match @Bearfly Noahs take the crown as the true Predators of SA. A flaky Neptune fwd line kept the Wedgies in the hunt but a few too many sub par Pointers brought them undone.
