Strathalbyn vs Yankalilla - Strath should be too strong but as we all know Yank can be the Jekyll and Hyde of the GSFL depending on who they have available on any given week. Roosters by 7 goals.
Mt Compass vs Langhorne Creek - This will be an absolute arm wrestle, when the two sides met at this venue it resembled mud wrestling and I think there were less than 5 goals scored in total. Hawks by less than a goal, only cos they're my team!
McLaren vs Encounter Bay - Encounter Bay have shown glimpses of brilliance all season and will need to be ready for a tough hit out against the "other" eagles. The conditions will close the margin and I think McLaren are slightly better then what the ladder suggests. I'm going with the Bays in a tight one but I think McLaren could cause an upset if they can adapt to the muddy conditions. Encounter Bay by 3 goals.
Victor Harbor vs Willunga - Obviously Willunga will be strong favourites and regardless of the wet conditions they will simply be too strong. Demons by 8 goals.
Myponga/Sellicks vs Saints - They don't call them the Mudlarks for nothing! Myponga by 4 goals.
Strath to beat Yank, Yank need Groom, Freeborn and co to play to be any sort of chance!
Creeks to beat Compass, just feel they will outbody the young Mt COmpass boys. If Orrock, Hicks and the other harder bodied players can match it with the creek Burdett, Maxfield and co should be able to provide the clean ball delivery to there potent forward line.
Encounter Bay over Mclarens, wont be as one sided as expected, little wet under foot will slow down the feelt footed bays and turn it into a test of wills. The bays still to get up with a little too much class aroudn the ground.
Willunga to beat Victor, a clash of the midfields here, Victors Midfield as strong as anyones and with the inclusion of Hunter to go with Hodge, Mckinlay, Jurek and Brown makes it all the more impressive. Our forwards are good in the wet and dry and Genovese kicking 6 last outing provides us with another avenue to goal.
Myponga to beat the Saints, i was impressed with the mudlarks a month ago, if they play the disciplined man on man style of football they did against us they will get over the saints.
Any further comments from me will be provided by P32 and the rest of his merry men.
Just got off the phone to BJ (Ernest09) and he said he is very concerned about Victor as they are one of the better teams going around and that on any given day any team can win, it's a two horse race. They always play well against the Demons and the inclusion of Hunter gives them just another midfielder to throw at him and his teammates. Being wet means the game will be extremely close and that it definitely won't be as easy as everyone else thinks and that come September Victor will be there challenging in finals. The fact that there will be 18 blokes from each team on the field at once means this is very much a 50/50 game for them...wilunga by 1 point.... Translation- Stay at home Victor, you will have more chance winning powerball saturday night than winning this game...Willunga by 135 points...would have been more but it IS raining!
Thank you Panther, thats what i was trying to say! Lucky my cute assistant translated for me!
D%$k heads powerball is thursday nights, $20 million tonight but dont worry about getting a ticket iv already got one. If i win the bays will win the flag this year.
