Mayne's giant-killing form certainly came to an abrupt and embarrassing end at Fankhauser Reserve on Saturday when they were crushed by the Sharks 22-22 to 2-7. It was a day well worth forgetting for Mayne, Southport keeping the young Tigers outfit goalless in the first term and scoreless in the third while piling on seven, five, seven and three goals in each quarter respectively. After recording solid wins over the Eagles and Panthers in recent weeks, this match shaped as an opportunity for the Tigers to make a stand and announce their intentions for the rest of the season. However, it wasn't to be and the Sharks simply steamrolled them from the first bounce. A seven goals to nil opening term by Southport ensured it would be a long afternoon for Mayne and their small band of supporters. The Sharks must now be staring at some sort of record in only conceding 294 points in their nine games to date. Mackay, Deacon and Black each slotted four goals for Southport with Bradley, McCluckie, Watts, Pemberton and McKenzie their best. For the Tigers, Bermingham, DeBrinni, Robbins and Lynch never gave up with Ryan and Lynch being the Tigers' only goal-scorers.

Mt. Gravatt led from go-to-whoa in recording a solid 24-point win over a goal-shy Cubs at Dittmer Park on Saturday, reversing the third round result. The Vultures gained an important psychological edge over the Cubs who are battling with the Vultures and Eagles for that all-important top three position. Aside from Tim Notting who booted four goals, the Cubs goalkicking was nothing short of woeful, kicking two goals nine in the second term and blowing a huge opportunity to reel in Mounties. Mounties coach Dean Bailey said the result would take on more importance as the season wore on. One highlight was the improving form of Daniel Bradshaw in only his second game back from injury - taking several terrific grabs. Full-forward Geoff Buswell kicked five goals in trying conditions for Mounties with Brad Jones dominating the centre to ensure they took the match and consolidated their second position on the ladder. The Vultures' best were Harman, Lanyon, Dobbs, Rankin and Wolbers. For the Cubs, Shattock, Notting, Dobbs, Roach and McCormack never stopped trying.

Broadbeach managed to keep their ever-so-slim finals chances alive when they outmuscled the Panthers by 34 points in blustery conditions at home. Such were the conditions only nine goals were kicked on the day with Burgess (Broadbeach) the only multiple goalkicker with two. The damage was done by the Cats with a four goal to one opening quarter, ensuring the Panthers would be playing catch-up football for the rest of the afternoon. At times the match looked as if it was being played in slow-motion, due to the toll the conditions took on some players. The final quarter provided a total of two points in a match both sides would be looking to forget. Best (?) were Covino, Lynch, Wilkinson, Oldham and Walsh for the winning team and Gough, Davis, Longland and Edwards for the losing team.

Labrador recorded their second win in a row after their recent slump in disposing of the Roos by ten goals at Maroochydore. Bartlett led from the front all day in bagging six majors with his dead-eye-dick kicking a feature. Collins also jammed three through for the Tiges. The Roos were never in the hunt after being held scoreless for the first term, although they did manage to outscore the Tigers in the second term. The win keeps Labrador in a position to make an assault on a top three berth come finals time. Best for the Tiges were Donnellen, Lamb, Gurciullo and Bartlett with Olive, Michael, Vagg, Stenhouse and Clarke trying hard for the Roos. Maroochydore's position in the top league must surely be under a cloud, with the league considering relegation back a division for next year. The Roos rise from the Amateur Leagues has been nothing short of meteoric, but they do appear to be that one step behind in class.

Next Week

Round 12 sees the last opportunity for players to impress for selection in the state side to take on the V.M.F.L. at Brisbane Lions Football Park (Coorparoo) the following week-end. At the coast, Broady will host the unbeaten Sharks, Labrador travel up to take on Mayne in a Tigers cat-fight which will sort out Mayne's flag hopes once and for all, Morningside host the Cubs, Mounties drive across town to take on the Eagles at Zillmere, and Maroochydore can start planning their end-of-season trip on their bye week-end.

Higgsy's Hints

Back to form .... yes, 4/4 .... and I was pretty close with the winning margins also. 36/44 .... it would be nice if I could tip the AFL as well as I do the local comp. Broady will try hard at home, perhaps matching Southport for a quarter or so, but the Sharks are just too good here .... Sharks by eight goals. This will probably be Mayne's last grab at a finals spot, and I think they might roll an inconsistent Labrador at home, despite the thumping they copped this week .... Mayne by three goals. At Esplen oval, the Panthers might upset a lethargic (and understrength) Cubs .... Panthers by three goals. The grudge match of the round will be at O'Callaghan Park where Mounties (who won by five points last time) and the Eagles will belt each other senseless ... no love lost here .... my tip is Mounties by two goals (with the blue to finish a draw, but well worth the admission price!!!) Bugner, Tyson and Holyfield have nothing on this one
