Hello again and welcome to all those devout Banana-land footy fans around the globe. I received an e-mail recently from the sister of Sharks' captain David Bain who lives in Malaysia. I appreciate your thoughts Sandra and will endeavour to provide as much info as I can get my grubby little fingers on each week. And yes, I'd be booking tickets for the final …. In fact, I'd be saving a seat at the Sharks' GF celebratory evening also!!! If anyone has any queries or suggestions regarding this page, be sure to e-mail me, and I'll see what I can do. Anyway, on with the show ….

Well …. I think it's safe to say that the Maroochy put in a diabolical performance against the Sharks, going down by 24 goals on Saturday. No, that's probably a bit harsh, it was probably more of a welcome return to their ruthless best for Southport, and a good example of what is to come in the finals. The Sharks dominated every aspect of play from go to whoa, with Mackay bagging ten and Coughlin five. A six-goals-to-one first term followed by nine to nil in the second nailed the lid shut on this match. There wasn't a bad performer for the Sharks, with Mackay, Stevens, McCluckie, Bain and Ballans putting in standout performances. For the Roos, Vagg, Michael, Stenhouse, Smith and Fisher never gave an inch.

Morningside's larger-than-life Brad Edwards single-handedly tore Mayne's finals aspirations apart at Kedron on Saturday, with a dominant forward display. The loss effectively extinguishes Mayne's hopes for playing in September, along with dampening the club's 75th anniversary celebrations afterwards. If every result from here on goes their way, it is possible though. Realistically, it's all over for the Tige's …. And if they did scrape into the finals, I can assure you they would only be making up numbers. Mapleston (5) and Evans (4) did the damage on the scoreboard for the Panthers, with Smyth and Bermingham jagging 2 each for the Tige's. Panthers' best were Gough, the Edwards' brothers, Mapleston and Conroy, while for Mayne Stone, Housego, Frigo, Wray and Jordan never stopped trying.

Mounties were always too strong for Broady at home, rattling up a non-chalant 22-point victory. The Vultures never got into top gear …. and didn't need to. The season is over for the Cats now, but they can upset others in coming weeks. The locals were always that step up in class on Broady, pulling away by a goal or two in each quarter. The Cats should be congratulated though on never throwing in the towel, and giving the teams in the finals a shake throughout the season. For Mounties, Dupuy slotted 4 more, while Robson nailed five for Broady. Best Vultures included Dupuy, Lynn, Jones and Dobbs, while the Cats' performers were Robson, Fulton, Burgess and Ellis.

The last match of the round was at O'Callaghan Park where the Eagles hosted the Lion Cubs. In a good preview to the finals, the Eagles ran out comfortable 33-point winners, showing up the importance of having a solid mix of youth and experience - the latter being lacked by the Lions "young guns". Teenage Kilcoy product Robert Copeland was outstanding for the Eagles, and may have even been BOG. The ever-strengthening Eagles effectively sewed up a double-chance with the win, and relegated the Cubs to a last-minute chicken-scratch for 4th and fifth. The Eagles are shaping up as a potentially solid performer during the finals, and are the only side to have pushed the Sharks this year. Best for the Eagles were Copeland, Deeth, Dean, Weller and Reeves. Cubs' best performers were Knobel, Cooper, Tana-Hill, Bartlett and Gowers. Robbie Williamson added five more to his season total with the Cubs' Picken kicking four.

Other News

No goss this week.

Next Week

The penultimate round of the home and away season falls upon us next week, with Morningside hosting the Eagles, Broadbeach travelling five minutes up the road to Labrador, Mayne making the trip up to the Sunshine Coast to take on Maroochydore, and the Lion Cubs taking on the undefeated Sharks at the Gabba in the curtain-raiser to the Lions-Freo match. Mounties have the bye, but as they are safely in second spot, I don't think they will mind the lay-off to overcome a few niggly injuries.

Higgsy's Hints

Although their season is basically over, the Panthers certainly have lost pride to play for on Saturday against the Zillmere boys …. Hmmm …. No, I can't go past the Eagles in this one - Eagles by four goals, but 'side to put up a good show. Labrador and Broady is what I think will be the match of the round. Broady can "mathematically" still make it while the Tige's can still "mathematically" earn the double-chance …. I might go the upset this week and suggest the Cats might get the money by three goals. I know Maroochydore are at home, but Mayne will be pissed at their attrocious effort and lack of commitment last week against the lowly Panthers …. I think they will rout the Roos in no uncertain terms. Although the Cubs are at the Gabba in front of good local support, the Sharks won't stumble now …. Southport by five goals.

Three out of four yet again (how many times have I said that?) gives me 50/64 for the season. I've gone one upset this week …. I bet that's the one I get wrong ???

AFL Footypix Tipping Competition

Well Chaddo is still out in front by four, both he and I jagging five this week. (I just don't seem to be able to cut that gap) Rob Zubrinich, Mark Ramage, Lindsay Hegarty and Tom Usher all nailed 7/8, while Dave Fraser shooting for "money-back" last and got 1. Big movers were Mark R up five, Scott Bool down and Frank down 5.
