Remember, this game is a twilight game, so bouncedown is 3:15, I think.

Royals v Demons - This is the game I am really undecided about. Perth have lost close games and forget the Easter Monday game against Subi, because Perth have mental problems in beating Subi. Once they realise they can, the flood gates will open. But back to this game, if there's one team the Demons like beating, it's the Royals.

The Royals retain a pretty strong team, although if all of Martin, McKinley and Roberton are out, it will test their defence, along with citizen Kane being omitted. Kane must still be finding his feet, because a couple of years ago he was pretty impressive, and possibly the Royals best defender. Shepheard looks to have been moved back to balance this. Roe's been in reasonable form. JON will need to inject himself more into the game, IMO, and young Prior will be tested if he lines up at FF.

The Demons lose McDougall and Humble, who had a pretty fair debut. However, a spine of Moody, Ferguson, Armstrong, Warner and Thornton is pretty fair. The centreline of Armstrong and Young, along with a very promising Florio, looks like it will need to be stopped for the Royals to win. Look forward to Bollenhagen, Smith and Elari as well.
The Royals, just in this one.
