Following their five-point humbling by Mayne on Saturday, perennial finalists Morningside are now in serious danger of missing the finals altogether for the first time since 1980. It would also take some investigation to determine the last time the Tigers actually rolled the Panthers in a premiership match. In a heart-stopping display, Morningside effectively lost the game in the "premiership" quarter when they conceded six goals to one. Teenage rover Steve Kenna and robust centre-half forward Brad Edwards led a spirited Panthers fight-back in the final term, almost overhauling the 36-point deficit, but fell agonisingly short. For Mayne, Housego nailed five and DeBrinni four, with Lynch, Ashlin and Dobson their best. Ryan with three, Kenna, Edwards, Gough and Conroy were unlucky to be on a losing side.

The Lion Cubs continue to improve each week after they humbled the Eagles in an entertaining match which was transferred to Yeronga on Sunday. Headland, Voss and McDonald each bagged three goals as the Cubs registered their most impressive win to date. Eagles' frontman Robbie Williamson also bagged 4 for the losers taking his season tally to 34 and a share of the lead at the top of the goalkicking for the league. The Eagles certainly had their chances to take match honours, but flitted away opportunities with far too many rushed shots. Best for the Cubs were McDonald, Knobel, Boulton, Bartlett and Voss.

For the Zillmere boys, Copeland, Bulley, Deeth, Watts and Williamson all played well. In the Wises Road mud-heap, Southport very unconvincingly outmuscled Maroochydore to remain undefeated at the top of the table. The halftime coaches chat would no doubt have had the paint blistering from the walls after kicking a meagre four goals ten for the first half. The winless Roos however, showed plenty of heart in battling all the way to the final siren. Should they be able to put in efforts like that for the rest of the season they will certainly rattle the cage of a few of the sides holding premiership aspirations. Mackay jabbed three through for the day to share the competition's goalkicking lead with Eagle Robbie Williamson. In the Sharks' most disappointing effort this season Bradley, Bain, Martin and Crossley were possibly their best. For the Roos Olive, Fisher, Smith and Staunton all stood tall against their more fancied rivals.

Broadbeach almost pulled off the boilover of the season when they tripped at the final hurdle in their blustery Klumpp Road battle with the Vultures. The Cats led for most of the day and trailed Mounties by less than a straight kick at the final change. However, the Vultures just had that little bit more in the tank and fell over the line by 22 points. It was an impressive performance by the Cats who more than matched their bigger rivals in all departments. Veteran Brad Jones led by example all day for Mounties, and with Dupuy banging through five, leaves the Vultures firmly entrenched in the leading pack on the table. The Cats' loss almost certainly draws the curtains on their flag hopes, and they must now concentrate on avoiding the dreaded wooden spoon .... although the Roos already have their paw-prints all over it !!!! Vultures' best were Jones, Harman, Dupuy, Davies and Edwards, while Cats to stand out were Wilkinson, Taylor, Patching, Covino and Walsh.

Next Week

Round ten sees Broadbeach facing a daunting task at the new-look Gabba against the Cubs on Saturday evening, Mounties host cellar-dwellers Maroochydore, Morningside take on a shaky Labrador at home, while on Sunday the Zillmere boys travel to Mayne for the Northside derby. Unbeaten Southport will have a well-earned bye.

Higgsy's Hints

Three winners last week gave me 31/36 for the season .... mmmmm, I was robbed on the Mayne-Morningside match !!! Let's see .... Lion Cubs will flog Broadbeach at the Gabba by say, a conservative eight goals, if it's fine Mount Gravatt will pump Maroochydore by twenty goals, Morningside might get up from their death-bed against Labrador .... Panthers by four goals, the Mayne-Eagles match will be nip-and-tuck all the way with the Eagles getting the nod by three goals. Southport will hammer the bye .... the unbeaten sharks most probably spending the day in the "green room" or at the blackjack tables at Jupiters.

AFL Footypix Tipping Competition

What a shocker .... yes, I had a Barry of a round in the Footypix and that's all I'm sayin' !!! David Chadwick continues to lead with 60, with Craig Sanderson and Jim Anderson right up his clacker on 58 and 57 respectively. Big movers for the week were Mitchell Ross (+14) and Wayne Lake, Jim McArthur and Trevor Dann all (-8) places. David, Schultzy, and Mitchell all managed a very solid 6, especially considering the Hawks-Dogs draw.
