A very quick update as I get ready for a trip to the Airport.... Banchang leads Southern Cross 6/497 to 6/479......(after BL v Geel) @eagle_eyed
At Mill Park its a low scoring scrap with the Bulls opening up a margin. SFB 4 / 297 / 74 GG 4 / 196 / 49 @Tomster
We're into the third at Mill Park SFB 769 / 10 / 77 GG 715 / 11 / 65 All to play for with Bulls having an extra 0.5 to come @Tomster
With Serengeti getting the job done the Bulls have one eye on the Pearcedale Coolgardie contest @JPK @TigersTooTough As we go around the grounds its an intriguing contest Pearcedale 886 / 11 / 80 Coolgardie 680 / 8 / 85 A barn burner at Panthers HQ!
@insider Ararat aren't raising much of a sweat so far. They're 28 points behind but have 2 players up their sleeve Cow Bay: 29 / 11 / 66.3 Ararat: 757 / 9 / 84.1
After being in a form slump since the mid-season break, the Smugglers are finally posting a decent score, leading the Parasites, 930/10 (93 including the OOP ruck Menzel) to 810/12 (67.5).
It's a bloodbath at the Dino Dome with the homeside not even offering a yelp against the visiting Baracudas. It is going to be a long last 3/9ths of the game for the home fans:- Barracudas 1100/10/110 Hughenden 650/10/65 Yes the scores are correct, the Barracudas have 7 players ton up already.
At the major break at The Stadium, the local Barcrawlers have surprised all and sundry with their performance so far against the 2nd placed Sandgropers and lead the visitors 10/873 to 8/674. The major win for the home team has been in the midfield where Greenwood 114, Adams 109, and Lyons 100, have overshadowed their more fancied opponents Duncan 112 Prestia 104 and ex-Banchang player Selwood 52, while Wright 103 and Sinclair 100 have both tonned up to make it difficult for the visitors in the 2nd half. However Southern Cross haven't got to 2nd in the Comp by failing to produce, and if the remaining 7 players can follow the effort put in by young sensation Milera 112, then they're in with a big chance to grab the 4 points on offer. Should be a good 2nd half coming up..... @eagle_eyed
Just about 3/4 time in the Crater and the Buffaloes have this one in hand Serengeti 1166/11/106 v King Island 811/11/73 @Tylo
The bloodbath at the Dino Dome has finally come to an end with the Baracudas running out easy winners. Match report to come......
The Bulls have run out comfortable winners over a disappointing Grenades outfit SFB 1143 GG 985 @Tomster
@insider Ararat have made a mockery of the Crocs winning by 172 points. Crocs: 1,039 / 15 / 69.3 Armadillos: 1,211 / 15 / 80.7
Think it was one of those weeks where everyone underperformed massively unfortunately, however it may propel the Bulls into finals!
The Smugglers took their foot off the gas in the final third (none of the last five players to take the field hit their season average) but still did enough to take the points against @ddsaints Parasites, 1299-975.
