Last time they met
In Round 8 of Season 36 on an unusually rainy day at the Underground Stadium, the Swamprats stormed to a crucial 4 goal lead over the Bears at the first change. They lead the entire game and despite a scare late in the game as the Bears rallied and kept chipping away at the margin, it was too little too late for the Bears as the Swamprats prevailed in a 4 point thriller. Given the conditions, there were few individual highlights but GotTheGoodes (76 DT, 21 disposals, 1 goal) was all-class in a best on ground performance. For the Bears, Matera92 rewound the clock and defied the conditions by kicking 3 goals (with an additional 3 chances)
Last week
The Swamprats were held goalless in the opening term against the Old Boys but made up for it in the second term as they took a surprise 1 point lead at half time before continuing the momentum for the rest on the game en route to an upset 25 point away win ant555 (111 DT , 33 disposals, 7 marks) and BloodySwan (99 DT, 31 disposals) were outstanding as okeydoke7 capitalised with 4 goals. The Bears began strongly against the Warriors and stormed to a 20 point lead early in the first quarter before the game tightened for the remainder of the first half. In the end, the Bears had no answer for the Warriors in the second half and were left ruing their inaccuracy as they slumped to a 23 point loss. Big Man Test Tickle (101 DT, 17 hitouts, 5 tackles, 27 disposals) found some form and could hold is head high.
