The battle for the Wooden Spoon hots up this week as the team known as the "All around nice guys" East Side Hawks host the team known as "The most flexible group of collective playdoh" Geelong Gumbies.
The Hawks are coming off a heart breaking loss to the Demons last week, when a goal in the dying minutes stole what looked like a certain victory for the Hawks. Once again, it was Gilbert_Hodge in fine form in the "guts" for the Hawks, whilst young guns akkaps and Magpies2010 were serviceable again. If the Hawks are to get a victory this week, more will have to come from up forward, the switching of akkaps to the key forward role this week to support Dagless should help, but the flanks and pockets need to step up again. Matt121 continues his strong form in front of goal, but lacks the support needed to carry the Hawks to victory.
The Gumbies season of woe was delivered a ray of glistening light last week as they dismantled the Roys to keep their hopes of ascending from the bottom of the ladder alive. Gumbies stars Claypigeon and StFly were outstanding again, but it was wotdoiput that was the Gumbies shining light in the midfield, dominating the contest and carrying the floppy ones to a majestic 4 point win. The move of winty to Full Forward was a match winning one for the Gumbies, he booted 4 in the victory in a season that has been extremely difficult for forwards, the question will remain, can the Gumbies carry that form through to a second straight week and put themselves in the box seat to not grasp the wooden spoon and hand the Hawks their 2nd straight.
My Prediction: One of these two sides will win, unless it's a draw, then neither side will win.
