Well i got 5 from 5 although the margins were a bit out which isn't surprising with some of the fluctuations in form is the last month
I'm still trying to fathom GPE form of the last 6 weeks
Rd 10 Lost by 14 points to Yank
Rd 11 WON by 48 points against Mt Compass
How ? Just HOW ?????
Rd 12 Lost by 40 points to Myp/Sell which is nothing to be ashamed of at all. Good effort
Rd 13 Lost by 153 points to E Bay
Rd 14 Lost by 156 points to Victor
Rd 15 Lost by 193 points to Strath
Yes it's apparent they have a heap of injuries by reports which is very unfortunate. It looks like they must have lost their top 10 best players between Rd 11 and 13 to explain those results. Maybe they have ? Mad Monday cant come quick enough it seems
Creeks kept their slim finals hopes alive downing Compass by 7 points in a low scoring scrap in perfect conditions where scoring was inexplicably hard to come by. Compass led 3 goals to zip at quarter time to which the Creeks had leveled at 3 apiece by half time. Creeks gradually got on top in the 3rd term and hung on in the last to hold off Compass who did all the attacking in the last 10 minutes. Creeks would have been kicking themselves if they'd lost after missing 4 set shots from basically right in front inside 15 metres during the match
Compass still very likely to hold 5th spot being a win and a good % ahead of the Creek. Both teams play VH and Myp/Sell whilst Creek play GPE and Compass play E Bay in the other game. Only certain win among that lot are Creeks to eat GPE. Going on the trend if Creek did have a 150+ point win against GPE as others are having that % gap could be caught. Big game this week for Compass against the Bays
Looking at the Bays v Myp/Sell scores Bays kicked themselves out of it by kicking 6 -15 to 3/4 time. still a 16 point lead in a low scoring game would be enough usually but they failed to score in the last term as Myp/Sell keep their Minor premierships chances alive to take over a faltering McLaren
Bays would have to be frustrated to be in 8th spot with only 5 wins considering how competitive they've been against all the top sides.
Strath by 193 over GPE Strath broke a 5 game losing streak which would be no consolation to them after another disappointing season for them
Victor have really confirmed they're the real deal by trouncing the ladder leaders McLaren by 52 points and looking good for the double chance where they'll be dangerous. McLaren have really hit a flat spot and it's gonna take something special to get that momentum back before finals.
Willunga trounced Yank by 161 points. Obviously the win wasnt a shock but the margin well and truly was. Willunga had only kicked a total of 10 goals in their past 2 matches whilst Yank had been super competitive in their last 3 to Compass, Creeks and Bays only going down by 3 - 4 goals in each of them
Probably cant read anything into the result at all
With 3 rounds to go i'd say Vh and Myp/Sell are the clear form teams and most peoples pick for the flag whiulst McLaren still needs to be respected as they may still finished top . From what i've seen of Willunga and Compass in recent weeks, neither are capable of taking the flag from the Elim final
