Round 2 done and dusted, as we saw some massive scores from Marinoff 191, Rowbottom 163, Anderson 161, Garner 130, Parker 124 & Bonici 120. Talking about big the Glenbrook Galahs round score was 930 which pushed them up into first place, while on the flip side the Katanning Krushers took the brownies with 661 sitting at the bottom ladder. Please continue to post your teams in the round thread (i.e. here) at least an hour before bouncedown between Doggies and the Eagles on Thursday - remembering this game is at Whitten Oval at the time of 7.15 EST.
And now to the matchups! Bathurst Belles (@Len) vs Glenbrook Galahs (@ver_redit_optatum) The Belles will need to lift from their loss in round 2 especially up against the ladder leaders. Who will have the hot hand in the centre and make it all happen for their team. Will the Galahs look to screech their way to victory or will belles of the football ball prevail. Katanning Krushers (@FreoDockers) vs Eastern Park Dragons The Krushers got thumped by the Wallabies last week so will be looking to lift their spirts hosting the Dragons albeit an improved outfit especially in their backline. The match of the round as one team will have a win against their name. Wongan Hills Wallabies (@Schmitty) vs Timboon Trailblazers (@Peter W) The Wallabies will have their best thumper out there in Rowbottom, will this be enough to move them up the ladder. They will be up against a well-rounded Trailblazers team, it’ll only take one to shine, will it be Maddi or Lucy that will steel the show. Manildra Mystix (@TheTassieHawk) vs Lake St Clair Devils (@dmandrews) The Mystix squeezed out a high scoring win to see them sit third on the list, however they will need to deal with the Devil’s Garner who was on fire last week and lead her team to a big win, they are a force to be reckoned with. Pomona Wood Nymphs (@anthak) vs Scone Sirens (@Tracey) With Captain Marinoff in your side pumping out ridiculous scores it’s hard to see anyone getting close to you especially when you have supporting Nymphs in TLR, King & Frederick but the Sirens have their own dynamic duo in Hatchard and Parker. This will be a hotly contested game. Vivonne Bay Valkeries (@That KI Guy) vs Junee Jets (@Chloe) The Valkeries ate a donut in their lost last week which made it hard to swallow the pain while the Jets were burnt with a 22-point loss as they could still be at the top end of things. Double A will surely get her team taking off for an airy battle to delight on lookers. While the Valks will need to pull something out of thin air to get their season started. Best of luck to all in Round 3

A win by 23 points or more would result in Lake St Clair leapfrogging Manildra on the ladder. Alternatively a Mystix win would increase their advantage over the Devils to two games, a sizeable lead in a short season.

I just edited my comment, but only to change my “outs” I mistakenly listed Lauren Pearce in the Outs but she was already a late-out last round. It was actually Daria Bannister who I dropped this round, so she’s now listed in the Outs instead of Pearce.
midway through the second quarter the Mystix 6/497 lead the Devils 2/138 @dmandrews It is a frantic start to Super Sunday with 6 players apiece taking the field at 105pm with the Manildra side wanting maintain a healthy lead before a 5 to 1 Devils advantage plays out over the final 2 matches of round 3.
The Mystix have posted 1030 and lead the Devils 10/674 @dmandrews with Clayden, Whitfort and Stanton to complete proceedings for the visitors as look to chase down the 356 point lead in the final game.
