Roys FFC v Dragons FFC at Brunswick Junction Oval
The 9th-place, 5-5 Roys host the 7th-place, 6-4 Dragons this week. The Roys were disappointing after holding a slender 1 point lead at quarter time, slumping to a 41 point loss to the Royals. The Dragons had not one, but two goalless quarters on the weekend en route to a shocking 51 point loss to the Bombers. With so much to play for and a tight ladder, both teams will be desperate to turn around their form and resurrect their seasons.
Last time they met
In Round 5 of last season, scores were level at quarter time before the Dragons found another gear, kicking 5.6 to 3.0 to take a handy lead at half time. They maintained their advantage for the rest of the game despite the Roys' impressive accuracy en route to a crucial 26 point win. Hatchy1992 kicked 4 goals and was a standout in an even team performance by the Dragons and got 1 Mobbs vote for his trouble. However champion Roys DERRINALPHIL (106 DT, 2 goals, 27 disposals) and tigs2010 (99 DT, 9 tackles) were best on ground in a losing cause and deservedly walked away with 3 and 2 Mobbs votes respectively.
Players to watch
For the Roys, veteran 3KZ is Football (86 DT, 2 goals, 23 disposals) lead from the front and was well supported by Runk (22 disposals, 1 goal) and Ed_Gein (74 DT, 20 disposals) . Meanwhile for the Dragons, Knifey Spoony (105 DT, 2 goals, 24 disposals) played one of the best games of his career in a special performance and Strigoi (13 hitouts, 18 disposals, 3 tackles, 77 DT) was dominant throughout the game.
Prediction
Dragons by 11 points
