The Sharks were given a wake-up call by Labrador on Saturday, when they trailed by 8 points at half-time, before six goals by Tim Deacon led them to a comfortable 24-point win at Fankhauser Reserve. Three goals by Rod Mackay for a season total of 66 gave him the Brisbane Insurance Brokers goalkicking award, finishing a solitary goal ahead of Eagle Robbie Williamson. It was plainly obvious the Sharks' minds were focussed on the finals, as they never got out of third gear all day. Best in the coast derby were Deacon, McCluckie, Crossley, Ballans and Wise for Southport, and Gowers, Stevenson, Bartlett, Lamb and Donnellon for the Tigers.

Giant-killers Maroochydore were on target for yet another win, until the Panthers showed some season-lacking form to finally down the Roos by 13 points at Maroochydore. The Roos led until midway through the third term where fatigue appeared to take over, and thus ball security and delivery suffered. Evans led the match-winning charge for the Panthers with 5 majors. In all, its been a disappointing season for Morningside, missing their first finals campaign since 1980. However, the flag is still flying with the "reggies" finishing third on the ladder. Best on the day were Gough, Tarrant, Gaunt and Pearce for the 'siders, and Miller, Fisher, McKinnon, Calthorpe and Smith for Maroochy.

The Vultures turned in a rusty performance at Kedron against Mayne, winning by 15 points on the back of a rare "double-goal" in the final term, the second in successive weeks against the Tige's, after a defender kicked the ball away in frustration following a Mounties goal. Mayne's loss takes the heat off the QSFL executive who will hand down a decision this week on the Tigers protest against the Roos naming an extra man on their playing list last week and not declaring interchange players. Too bad …. Mayne, you lost, so it's all academic now anyway!!! Top goalkicker was Dupuy with 4 for Mounties. Best on the day were Lanyon, Lynn, Dupuy and Jones for Mounties, with DeBrinni, Lynch, Pearce and Stone performing well for the Tige's.

The Northern Eagles tuned up for the "showdown" with Mounties next week, with an effortless 44-point thumping of the Cats at Broadbeach. For Broady, only club pride was at stake, and they put in a solid effort around the ground all day, but were beaten by a much classier side. For the Eagles, it was a slightly inauspicious start, but once the engine fired it was all one-way traffic. Williamson for the Eagles and Fulton for the Cats both squeezed through four goals in blustery conditions. Performers were Smith, Benham, Buchanan, Deeth and Howson for the Zillmere boys, with Covino, Walsh, Robinson, Russell and Wilkinson playing well for the losers.

Other News

Should the Brisbane Lions play their home AFL semi-final on either Saturday the 4th or Sunday the 5th of September, the Premier Division Second Semi-Final will be played as the curtain-raiser match. This will be confirmed though, as soon as the AFL makes an official announcement.

Next Week

This week-end sees the commencement of the finals, all played this Sunday (29/8/99) at Brisbane Lions Football Park (previously Giffin Park, Coorparoo). The elimination semi-finals between Labrador and the Lion Cubs in first grade (12:00), and Mounties and Broady in the "reggies"(9:30am), with the qualifying semi-finals between Mounties and Eagles in first grade(2:30pm), and Morningside and Eagles in the "twos"(5:00pm). As Southport finished minor premiers in both grades, the Sharks earn the week's rest.

In first division, the second week of finals sees the Palm Beach-Currumbin Lions take on the Surfers Paradise Demons in both grades for first passage into the "granny". Reserves commence at 11:30am with the seniors at 2:15pm, at Broadbeach Oval.

There's plenty of footy finals action to be seen throughout South-East Queensland this week-end, so why not head out to at least one of the "big ones" on Saturday or Sunday ???

Higgsy's Hints

Tips for this week …. Hmmm, let's see …. I think Labrador's loss to Southport last week, and the fact the Lions are travelling so well in the AFL might be two too-bigger hurdles for the Tige's …. Cubs by five goals. In the "grudgy" …. And what a beauty this'll be …. Toss a coin here as the last 16 weeks mean nothing now …. I think the Zillmere boys might be just a little too big and fast for Mounties …. Eagles by three goals (but don't be surprised if they win by more!)

It's been a while, but I managed to jag 4/4 last week to give me a creditable 56/72 (77.8%) for the season. I wish I could say the same for the AFL Footypix !!!

AFL Footypix Tipping Competition

Well there's no nice way to say it …. I choked !!! Had the !@#$%^& Eagles beaten the Bulldogs and the !@#$%^& Crows beaten the Power, I would have only been one solitary point behind Chaddo in the race to the title with one week to go. However, the bastards lost so I'm relegated now down to THIRD !!! What a shit! Now I've got no hope of taking my second title, and only a slim chance of coming second. But I don't care …. (sniff) …. Its only fun …. (sob) …. Its not serious …. (boo,hoo) …..

The top ten now are: David Chadwick-117, Richard Marsden-113, Me-112, Phil Amey & Ted Cleary-111, Brian Waterson, Rob Z & Huddy-110, Sando, Jack, Richard Sloan & REG-108. From here, there are 32 others ranging down to Rob Bowes on 78, who is still battling for "money-back" last.

This being the final round in the AFL is also the last weekly jackpot of $50 …. See if I can jag that even! It should be also be pointed out that a record six 8/8's were recorded last week.
