Yawn. Stretch. Wha?! What day is it? Bugger me, time to fire up. Footy's back this weekend!!
What will the week off bring to the comp? Are the Hawks at full strength yet? Are they the real deal? The Rams improved season may have a slight stutter this week, Woodend likely to win by plenty.
What about Diggers? Where have they been all season? Does the break afford them the opportunity to hit their straps? Maybe a few key blokes had the opportunity to get over some niggles? Maybe they're just in for an ordinary year. Big game for them this week, if Centrals turn it on they are a big chance at an upset. Wheelahan and Bullen to lead the Centrals to a hard fought win <3 goals.
Kilmore started strong, but appeared to taper off a little the last couple of weeks. Macedon appeared to be headed for whipping boy status, then came out and beat my Tiges and took it right up to Rockbank. Kilmore to strong here, but it won't be easy. Maybe 5 or 6 goals.
My Tigers have shown marked improvement since the return of Chris Collins and some improved form accross the entire group. Knocked over Centrals then took it up to Romsey. Now I guess we'll get an idea of just how far we have come, a trip to Boardman to take on the unbeaten 'Roos. What about them. More knockers than George W, but just keep winning. More recruits to bolster an already impressive list. Who's gonna stop them? Probably expected to beat Centrals by more last time, and would be expecting to beat us comfortably. But you never know. The Tiges will need there best game to take it up to Sunbury.
Then comes match of the round. No James, no Riddell? Not likely. Somehow last years premiers are getting under the radar (to a point), with the impressive improvements from Woodend and Sunbury. Dropped 1 game, but seem to be in second gear. They've done it, the others are unproven. They go to Romsey to take on a Redbacks outfit that were less than impressive last time. One would suggest that if that sort of performance comes up again this week, Riddell will dismantle them easily.
