Labrador continued their tumble
down the QSFL premiership table with an 11-point loss to Mounties
in the gold coast slush on Saturday. In driving rain, a three
goal to six points second quarter dominated by Justyn Hope and
Troy Easton for the Vultures set up the victory. After their
second straight loss, the Tigers have now slipped to fifth, and
with a bye next week must surely be feeling the pinch. Best for
Mounties were Hope, Easton, Lanyon, McKinnon and Harmon, while
Jason Lamb and Brad Firman were standouts for the losers. Donnellan
and Martin also tried hard.
The question must now be asked
.... who will stand in their way??? Southport continue to sweep
all before them with their seventh consecutive victory (in both
grades!!!), this time at the expense of Morningside - whom they
beat for the 1998 flag. In trying conditions, the Sharks pummelled
a hapless Panthers outfit from go-to-whoa, allowing them only
a solitary goal in each half. A six goals to one second quarter
tore the heart out of Morningside, who only appeared to be there
to make up the numbers. Sharks skipper David Bain revelled in
the Fankhauser Reserve slop, with full-forward Rod McKay managing
just two sausage rolls for the day - taking his season tally
to 31. For the Sharks, Ballins, Bain, Watts, Lawrence and Bradley
all starred. In a losing side Evans, Gough, Myles and Brad Edwards
played well.
The battle-of-the-big-cats between
the Lion Cubs and Mayne was held on a relatively dry and hard
pitch in Toowoomba - a match designed to generate publicity for
the code in the Darling Downs capital, historically a rugby league
stronghold. Organisers of the match would no doubt have been
disappointed with the poor crowd turnout, but those who did attend
saw one of the more open and entertaining matches of the season.
A never-say-die Tigers outfit battled to the death against their
more fancied rivals - outscoring them through the middle half
of the match. Up by 11 points at the final change, the Cubs certainly
finished the stronger nailing seven goals to three in the final
term. This match augurs well for the Tigers who have some tough
matches in the weeks ahead, and are desperately clinging to a
slim finals hope. Headland dobbed five goals and McDonald four
for the Cubs, while Housego booted seven for the Tigers. McDonald,
Picken, Voss and Boulton were the pick of the Cubs, while Robbins,
the Lynches, Housego and Bermingham battled all day for Mayne.
In the Zillmere bog, mudlarkers
- the Eagles - proved too strong for cellar-dwellers Maroochydore.
Sharp-shooter Robbie Williamson bagged four majors, bringing
his season tally to within one of the Sharks' McKay. In a steady-as-she-goes
performance the Eagles adapted to the quagmire conditions much
more successfully than their sunshine coast counter-parts. The
third quarter saw a total of four points scored - and only one
off the boot. Waters, Watts, Bulley, Cook and Deeth were the
Eagles best, with Vagg, Fisher, Olive, Muir and Charles showing
plenty of heart for the Roos.
Next Week
Round 9 will see Morningside
and Mayne sort out each other's premiership hopes once and for
all at Hawthorne Park, a rejuvenated Broadbeach head up from
the coast to meet the Vultures at a poor condition Klumpp Road
Oval, Southport head up the Bruce to take on the Maroochy boys,
all on Saturday. The match of the round between the Lion Cubs
and the Eagles will be fought out on Sunday at Giffin Park, Jason
Dunstall's old hunting ground in his days at Coorparoo. Labrador
have the rest, and must reflect on the fact that they will only
be one game clear in fifth after this week.
Higgsy's Hints
Tipping 28/32 so far counts for
nothing when looking at the Mayne - Morningside match. This will
no doubt be nip-and-tuck all day with perhaps Morningside having
the edge at home .... Panthers by three goals. Mounties will
make it a long, slow trip home for the Cats .... Vultures by
eight goals, and the sky's the limit for Southport's score against
the Roos - they will absolutely smash them!!! On Sunday, I think
the Cubs at home might be a bit too strong and humble the high-flying
Eagles - Cubs by four.
AFL Footypix Tipping Competition
Definitely one of the more interesting
week's results. In a round where three or four out of eight would
normally have been considered a good score, those who didn't
submit tips (and thus receive all away teams) certainly got their
money's worth - six away teams came good. Big movers for Round
10 were Johnny Wilkosz (+10) and Tim Hudd (+9) while Mitchell
Ross (-11), Norm Jamison (-11), Matty Smith (-9) and Rob Z (-9)
all had Barry Crockers. Me, well four keeps me just two off the
pace and still in fourth.
