Round 15 saw the Sandgropers at home against the Bulls. The home side managed to put together their first 4 quarter performance in almost 10 weeks to sho the home fans a glimpse of what could be should they find some consistency. With 6 tons and belter performances from Fyfe, Swallow, Yarran, Ryder & LeCras the win never looked in danger. Promising performances from youngsters Stringer, Docherty & McDonald gave the front liners great support. The only downside was Taylor, Kennedy & Day combining for a total of 132 points, if they'd managed to hit their averages the 1400 would have been in the offing. The Bulls have struggled away from home this season and a game they'd have pencilled in for 4 points wasn't even close to the cake walk they'd expected. Rockliff, Boyd, Dahlhaus & Mackie led from the front but 6 sub 70 point scores was really leaving too much to too few. This loss has seen them drop from 7th to 10th and a major form reversal is required if they want to get back into the 8. <table width='434' style='width: 326pt; border-collapse: collapse;' border='0' cellspacing='0' cellpadding='0] [span style='color: rgb(0, 0, 0);

Final Score Eden (Whalers) 1,234 def by Groote Eylandt (Barracudas) 1,320 Both teams were out slow this weekend but once leather and liniment smell rose to nostrils it was on. Scotty Thompson led the Whalers midfield with a dashing game breaking his tag and picking up 34 disposals with a goal to boot. Young Aish shone as this star burned kicking 2 great goals and collecting 28 disposals and had plenty of uncontested marks. Curnow and Jones had very solid games with 28 and 23 disposals setting up the home team. Out of the centre Hale had 19 hit-outs and gave a good run. In defence Malceski turned it on with 27 disposals, this bloke was everywhere and so was Smith grabbing his 21 disposals for the day. However the cracks started to show with Reilly only collecting 12 disposals and Trengrove being subbed out with an ankle injury. Nick Suban kicked a beauty and picked up a handy 19 disposals while Lyons wore the green vest and came on to replace Trengrove in the second half. The forward line up all had good games with Harvey kicking only 1 goal as a heavy tagged was applied, Jenkins also kicked 1 but only collected 11 disposals. Rowe and May picked up 11 and 13 disposals but no goals leaving the Whalers short on home soil. The Barracuda’s backline was solid this week with increased performances across the board. Murphy, Frawley, Mohr and Burgoyne all obtaining 20 plus disposals, laying tackle after tackle and some pace with Burgoyne even getting one through the big sticks at the other end of the ground. Zorko again was the spark up front leading the way with a goal and 20 disposals. Darling and Watts both kicked a goal each but only had 12 and 19 disposals which wasn’t good enough given the spray they copped from last week’s performances. Young Liam Jones had an absolute shocker collecting just 1 disposal before being dragged from the field. Another fantastic performance from Lewis, on fire and picking up 28 disposals and booting 2 goals. He’s a class act and he showed us all about it with his second from the left pocket. Ball had a solid game slotting 2 goals as well and collecting 17 disposals. Unfortunately Derickx didn’t make it on the field so Goodes stepped in and did his best tapping out. However the main attraction was Captain Cotchin as he caused carnage across the oval with his personal best as he racked up a massive 31 disposals slammed through 5, that’s right 5 goals. Our opponents thought we had cloned him and put up a protest that there were too many Cotchin’s to catch. Inspired by his captain young Bontempelli followed suit collecting 17 disposals and kicking 2 of his own, one of which will be nominated as goal of the year as he snapped true from deep in the pocket. Cunnington and Gibbs also performed well with their disposal tally of 19 and 25 including a straight one from Bryce. During the week our cousins further to the north in Papa New Guinea could hear the spray’s from the coach. It shocked the Cuda’s into action as we went from our worst score for the year to our highest.

Tylo, Thanks for a great game this week. I typed up a report (75% complete) yesterday, but then my computer shit itself and I lost it. I was very lucky to get the win, 3 points! Really needed Pendles to stand up at the end and he did 131 points which ended up being the difference between winning and losing. The trip to King Island was always going to be a cold, windy and hostile one, so the Bunyips are lucky to escape with a win and a few wheels of King Island's finest cheeses!
Match report form Pakenham. A match between 2 out of form clubs ends up being an easy victory for the home side, Pakenham had been in awful form leading in with 3 losses on the trot and the lowest score for the year last week, it was a must win and they came to play posting the clubs highest score for the year, a fair turn around which was a great relief and pleasant surprise for the coach and fans. Big scores from Sidebum, big Bud and the great man all helped in the win. The mids combined for a whopping 554where asArarats mids could only muster 341, the 200 points was the difference in the end. Ararat would be happy with efforts from Jamar, Minson and the junior Taylor, great game for the rookie with a big future, although it wasn't enough to many poor scoreshurt the chances for a win. Final scores Pakenham 1451 defeats Ararat 1259 BOG votes 3. Sidebum 2. Ablett 1. Bud Pakenhams attention now turns to thethe Stags, a matchup between 5th and 10th with only 1 win separating them on the ladder, another must win for the Parasites and no doubt another tough match up. Interesting to note the Bustlers also take on the Stags in the UF with final ladder implications. It makes for a busy week in Staghorn with both clubs coming to town, ill letthe boys know they need to behave, we don't want these famous bulls to run us out of town with out the double win in the bag. Good luck Tyze

The ruck crisis continues at Mill Park... heres hoping for a late in. Bulls team to tackle the Parasites: B: Mackie, Ibbotson, Birchall, Dempster (Rampe) M: Rockliff, Boyd, Stanton, Kelly (Cunningham) R: McEvoy (Lester) F: Roughead, Dahlhaus, Bird, Lynch (Jetta) I: Kelly, Bastinac @dd the Bulls owe your Bustlers one following our 11 point loss earlier in the year - the top 6 is potentially out of reach for the loser. Big ramifications in both games in UF and the FU good luck this weekend dd.

A potential boil over at Flying Fish Cove Park, with the Smugglers close to knocking off the top placed Goon. The Goannas hold a slight lead 888/12 (74) versus 873/10 (87). Bartel, Jack and Hawkins to come for Goondiwindi. Mackenzie, Judd, Tippett, McIntosh and Horlin-Smith for Christmas Island.
An absolute cracker down at Mill Park this week. The Bulls made sure the oval was well watered this week and have brought the game down to our level. As it stands its Pakenham, 785/10/78.5lead theBulls 705/9/78.3 this despite the Bulls starting with a sub in Kelly and no recognised ruckman. A lot of time went in to nullifying the parasites midfield and they ave struggled accordingly. The injury to gaj was unfortunate and we wish him a speedy recovery. Super Sunday brings Parasites Simpson, Pyke, buddy, Riewoldt & Higgins v the Bulls Boyd, Dahlhaus, Mackie, James Kelly, Bird & Dempster in what has the potential to be a boilover.
Armadillos v Prospectors very tight with the away side sniffing a victory on the road. Josh Kennedy & Cox against Mitch Wallis & Minson - I know who my money's on. Congrats JPK!
