In a sloppy match at the Gabba, the Lion Cubs outplayed and dominated the Maroochydore Roos to record a solid 31-point victory. In slippery conditions and before a record Gabba-Lions crowd, McDonald and Notting notched 4 goals each for the Cubs, while Fisher landed 3 for the Roos. Best on the day were Voss, McDonald, Picken, Boulton and Loney for the Cubs while Vagg, Clarke, Charles and the Fishers tried hard for the Roos. The win pushes the Cubs up to equal second on the ladder while effectively slamming the door shut on Maroochydore's premiership aspirations.

At Klumpp Road swamplands, the Southport Sharks notched their sixth straight win in quagmire conditions over the Vultures. A scoreless second term effectively killed off any chances Mt. Gravatt had of upsetting the yet undefeated reigning premiers. All credit must go to the Sharks who handled the conditions much better than their counterparts, always being first to a slippery pill and then controlling it for the majority of the match. Mackay and Backhouse slotted three majors each for the Sharks while Dupuy, Allen and Tudhope kicked one each for the Vultures. Difficult to pick the best as everyone appeared to be donning the same bog-coloured guernsey after the first five minutes. However, Ballins, McCluckie, Wise, McKenzie and Deacon played well for Southport, and Lanyon, Collins and Davies battled hard all day for Mt. Gravatt.

As Labrador's ground resembled a lake, this match was transferred to the Eagles' nest at O'Callaghan Park (so my spy Matty informs me) .... not that it affected the final result any .... the Eagles doing it easy, kicking seven goals to two in the second half to roll the second-placed Tigers. Williamson for the Eagles was easily the day's shining star with six sausage-rolls to his name. It could be said that Labrador had their chances, but a solid premiership quarter from the Zillmere boys saw their lead balloon from 2 out to 19 points, sealing the Tigers' fate. Flying high for the Eagles were Meunch, Deeth, Benham, Buchanan and Bulley. Best on the losing side were Firman, Wood, Browne, Wright and Donnellon.

At Kedron, Mayne steamrolled a plucky Broadbeach in the last term to record an impressive 15-point win. With scores deadlocked at the big break, and then trailing by five points at three-quarter time, the Tigers kicked 5-1 to 1-5 in the final term to take match honours, thus keeping in touch with the competition leaders. Reid Dobson, with five goals for the Tigers was easily best-on-ground, ably supported by Fisher, Lynch, DeBrini and Pearce. Standout for the Cats was Richard Patching who was well supported by Tanis, Foat and Wilkinson. The move of Mayne utility Rob Green on to the Cats' Korey Fulton (4 goals) was crucial in terms of the final washup.

Next week sees a top-of-the-table local derby at the Tigers' lair as Labrador go head-to-head with the Sharks, the battle for the wooden spoon is on in earnest as Maroochydore takes on Morningside at Hawthorne Park, Mayne and Mt. Gravatt will duel at Kedron, and Broadbeach will trek yet again up the Pacific highway to do battle with the Northern Eagles at Zillmere. The Lion Cubs have the bye.

Higgsy's Hints
For mine, warm premiership favourites Southport should account for a game Labrador outfit, the Panthers should shrug off their recent poor form to account for the Roos, Mt. Gravatt should have too many big guns for the Tigers, and the Eagles should be far too strong at home for the Cats.

AFL Footypix Tipping Competition
Big news this week is the first-second place positional swap between David Chadwick and Craig Sanderson who are going toe-to-toe at the top of the table. Movers this week are Jim Anderson (+8) Graham McColm (with 7/8), Dave Fraser, Neil Wilkinson, Norm Jamison and Trevor Dann (all +6), while Mark Landgraf had a shocker with only 2/8 and dropped 15 places. Yours truly, with 5/8, is still hovering for the kill in 4th spot. Bowesy and Greeny still bring up the rear.
