Fortunately playing back down in the back line has kept me nice and active over the off season. Not nearly as much standing around doing nothing as I would have hoped for though.

Match commencing shortly ... WA0 v SA0

Welcome to Subiaco Oval for what is likely to be the least watched game so far this tournament. Yes, it's true that neither team is in contention. Yes it's true that neither team has really set this competition on fire so far (with the exception of threats of arson after each received a penalty point. However, there is something deeper and more meaningful than tatty silverware: pride. Both of these states have it in spades but both have also let themselves and their supporters down so far this carnival. WA are winless and have been thumped mercilessly in their attempts to turn the tide. SA have been respectable but unable to capitalise on good performances against stronger teams. We'll be looking for a lot more fight from boths sides than their last efforts. Let's take a look at the matchups on the ground:

WA0 Foll : larrikin, boncer34, Mr Eagle

WA0 INT : hougie, vWest Coast
SA0 INT : Jerry, George

In a surprising move which really is a condemnation of their KPF stocks, WA have brought newcomer Krazy Kris straight in to full forward in an attempt to fix their malfunctioning forwardline. At the other end of the ground, The Doctor11 will be looking at stealing a run on his opponents in the race for the highest goalkicking award (The Medal Formally Known As Lioness) but he will have to overcome his perchant for behinds (so to speak) if he is to lead his team to victory while taking home the award. The Falcon Strike will be making his Key Position debut on the wayward yet prolific Full Forward, while former WA full forward boncer is trying his hand at ruck rover opposite the slightly disappointing WAG. They will be looking to shark the taps of what promises to be an epic ruck duel between two of the best ruckman in this competition: larrikin and Dagless. On the wing captain Ljp, one of the few who can hold his head high in this horrendous WA campaign, will take on youngster Christoh while once again the SA bots are rotated with Kramer, Jerry and George making their debuts.

Let's not forget that the other game at QEO in Bendigo between Vic Country and NSW&ACT will be starting shortly. We'll be bringing you updates from that thanks to SKM Couriers. SKM: we get our GPS' from NQR.

Round 05, Conditions for this match - RAINY
There's just a bit of light drizzle about and we're told it will disipate later in the game. It has made conditions greasy but not impossible, though it is hard to predict which side this will affect more. Just a reminder about the other game on this afternoon: Vic Country take on NSW&ACT in a matchup that will see Vic Country seeking to give themselves a chance to take out their third consecutive State of Origin title, but it's the game tonight between The Allies and Vic Metro which will truly decide which way the coverted SFA SoO trophy goes. We'll bring you updates from the game in Bendigo as and when it happens but for now, the ball is about to be bounced here at Subiaco.

Western Australia : 3.1.19

Some very intense football in the right forward pocket between hougie and Kramer. Loopy is put under enormous pressure and it just falls over the line. Hougie doesn't disapoint and now WA have some breathing space going into the first break.

=====================================
SIREN SOUNDS FOR THE END OF QUARTER 1
Western Australia : 3.1.19
South Australia : 2.0.12
=====================================
There's the siren and it's WA by a slender 7 point lead here at Subiaco. It wasn't the ckeanest, most free-running quarter of the tournament but there were glimpses from boths sides showing what they're capable of. The ball spent the majority of time in one forward fifty or the other, but neither team seemed confident enough to attempt a shot on goal and the defence of both sides was impressive. WA will be heartened but not carried away by their lead. They have had games in their grasp before and thrown it away. SA will be worried, however. Their wins have all come from commanding positions and they will do well to avoid panicking and continue taking it up to WA.

Let's go around the grounds for SKM Couriers: We guarantee it'll get at least a quarter of the way if you send it with SKM! The first quarter is just underway with Country out of the blocks first, 1.2.8 with NSW&ACT yet to score.
 
Both teams will be looking for early goals here: WA to break SA's spirit, SA to make WA heads drop. Let's see who will triumph...
2 : 25.03 {C} - That really should have been thrown up rather than bounced.
2 : .1 {lW} - Taking the ball is Rhodesy_Blues.
2 : .14 {rHFF} - Hoofs it forward..
2 : .18 {rHFF} - simba slips at the crucial moment and its marked by Magpies2010.
2 : .24 {lHBF} - Magpies2010 takes off.
2 : .28 {C} - Throws it onto his boot.
2 : .34 {C} - Anybody's ball.
2 : .38 {C} - A bit of space for HawkPatrol to utilise.
2 : .43 {C} - HawkPatrol has a bounce.
2 : .49 {C} - HawkPatrol boots toward an open goal.
2 : .53 {C} - HawkPatrol kicks the goal.
Western Australia : 4.1.25
South Australia : 2.0.12
It's WA with first blood and they get it straight away! HP slams it home from 55 out on the run and it's a beautiful kick! Less than a minute in and they already have SA on the ropes!
2 : .59 {C} - Winning the bounce is larrikin.
2 : 1.09 {lW} - Ljp86 hits the ground running.
2 : 1.13 {C} - HawkPatrol runs past and takes the handpass.
2 : 1.17 {C} - He has time to take a bounce.
2 : 1.23 {C} - That couldn't be a goal ... surely?.
2 : 1.28 {C} - Misses - no wait! Its a goal!.
Western Australia : 5.1.31
South Australia : 2.0.12
POW-POW! One-two hit from HawkPatrol and he's got them in 30 seconds! WA look genuinely excited for the first time this carnival as the crowd around HP. He's got them off to a flier already! SA have barely got hands to it in this quarter and the home crowd can barely get their hands off it!
2 : 1.34 {C} - larrikin gets one hand to it.
2 : 1.42 {lW} - Rhodesy_Blues sizes the options in front of him.
2 : 1.49 {lW} - A lookaway handpass to Dagless.
2 : 1.52 {lW} - Dagless dummy's the handpass and then takes a bounce.
2 : 1.59 {CHF} - He rewards the MisterMarto lead.
2 : 2.03 {CHF} - Anybody's ball.
2 : 2.09 {CHB} - Tarkyn_24 threads his way through traffic.
2 : 2.13 {lW} - His kick covers more height than distance.
2 : 2.17 {lW} - Ljp86 is caught under pressure and knocks the ball forward.
2 : 2.24 {rW} - Nobody's checking Christoh.
2 : 2.28 {rW} - Christoh has wild shot at goal.
2 : 2.34 {rW} - That's a terrible miss.
Western Australia : 5.1.31
South Australia : 2.1.13
Not least because it would have been a quick way to regain a bit of scoreboard composure. SA need goals and they need them quickly if they're going to get back into this game.
2 : 2.42 {FB} - Now Cheetah has the ball. What can he do with it?.
2 : 2.48 {lBP} - He kicks sideways towards riteo.

2 : 3.58 {FB} - Quick hands to The Falcon Strike.
2 : 4.03 {rHBF} - With his laser-like left foot.
2 : 4.07 {rHBF} - Biggie misjudges it and it's an easy mark to A Bit High.
2 : 4.13 {lHFF} - So A Bit High ... with a moment to digest his options.
2 : 4.17 {lHFF} - Crunching tackle by Biggie.
2 : 4.23 {rHBF} - Nobody's checking Biggie.
2 : 4.27 {lHBF} - A quick handpass to Magpies2010.

2 : 5.12 {rHFF} - simba has wild shot at goal.
2 : 5.16 {rHFF} - And that just grazes the post.
Western Australia : 5.1.31
South Australia : 2.2.14
SA have it trapped in their forward 50 but just can't get a clear shot. That one went close but comes off the front of the near post.
2 : 5.27 {FB} - Nobody's checking The Falcon Strike.
2 : 5.31 {FB} - Handpass over the shoulder to Mr Eagle.
2 : 5.37 {lHBF} - A short kick to Magpies2010.
2 : 5.41 {lHBF} - Magpies2010 appeals for the mark but play on's the call.
2 : 5.48 {lHBF} - Magpies2010 with a little space.
2 : 5.52 {lHBF} - Handballs over the top to larrikin.
2 : 5.58 {lHBF} - A poor handpass but boncer34 is up to the challenge.

2 : 8.06 {lHFF} - Loopy_cam has a ping.
2 : 8.11 {lHFF} - This should be a goal ... but it isn't.
Western Australia : 5.1.31
South Australia : 2.3.15
TFS is doing a fantastic job on Doc11 but WA just cannot find a way out of their defensive 50 and SA can't get a clear shot on goal, and when they do they miss. That was a gimme for Loopy if he'd kept his cool.
2 : 8.22 {FB} - The ball is now with Cheetah.

Western Australia : 6.1.37
South Australia : 2.3.15
All that time in attack and yet WA get another goal. Their lead has ballooned out to 22 points now and it's a comfortable lead for WA. It was Boncer --> Ljp --> peterss --> Fumbles --> goals all the way from the back pocket. Great team goal.
2 : 11.01 {C} - larrikin wins the hitout unopposed.
2 : 11.11 {rW} - Christoh has it. What can he do with it?.
2 : 11.15 {rW} - Ljp86 sews Christoh up like a morgue worker. Great tackle.
2 : 11.19 {lW} - Nobody's checking Ljp86.

2 : 12.46 {lHFF} - Too long for A Bit High and Biggie marks.
2 : 12.5 {lHBF} - Magpies2010 dances around simba.
2 : 12.54 - <<< reggie is coming on to replace larrikin >>>
2 : 13.04 {lHBF} - Magpies2010 assessing what lies ahead of him.
2 : 13.1 {lHBF} - That's a trip surely.

=====================================
SIREN SOUNDS FOR THE END OF QUARTER 2
Western Australia : 6.1.37
South Australia : 4.10.34
=====================================
Three goals one to two goals ten means that despite having 8 more scoring shots in that quarter, South Australia are still four points in arrears. It's hard to argue that they didn't have the better of WA in that term but to say they missed their opportunities is a slight understatement. WA just could not get the ball out of their back half and struggled to maintain possession in the face of a well organised press by SA, yet they kept the pressure on when they didn't have the ball and can take some of the credit for keeping the lead, as small as it is.

Around the grounds for SKM Couriers: "We don't just deliver things!"... oh, sorry, that should read "We just don't deliver things!" And at QEO it's all tied up at 27 points apiece early in the second quarter.
 
After the long break we're ready for What couldn't possibly be a more wayward quarter of football. The rain has intensified a little but it's just regular yet short showers coming through. Let's see if SA can capitalise on their chances, or whether WA can get it itno their forward fifty.

Western Australia : 6.2.38
South Australia : 7.16.58
That's WA's first score since the 10 minute mark of the second quarter. 37 minutes and they've barely had it in their forwardline. The lead at the mmoment isn't unassailable for them, they just need to improve ninefold.
3 : 22.47 {FB} - A Bit High signals for his teammates to present.

=====================================
SIREN SOUNDS FOR THE END OF QUARTER 3
Western Australia : 8.2.50
South Australia : 8.16.64
=====================================
Oh! I thought that shotr was taken after the siren but the Umpires are allowing it. That buzzerbeater by Christoh means WA managed just 2.1 to 4.6 in that quarter and neither team has entirely impressed. SA's ability to get to the point of shooting for goal is excellent, their finishing woeful. WA just can't seem to get it into their half of the ground at all. They're doing a heap of work off the ball but just hand it right back as soon as they get it. I can't imagine this game will rise to any great heights in this final quarter, given the three that have preceeded it, but both teams will want to have a good solid hit out since their next won't be until pre-season begins.

Let's go around the grounds for SKM Couriers: It's SKM and/or it's nothin'. NSW&ACT are running away with it. Early in the second half they're up 52 to 36.
 
The end is just about to begin for these two teams in the State of Origin Series#9. Their fans are expecting them to put it all on the line but I'm not sure they should hold their collective breaths.
4 : .1 {C} - That really should have been thrown up rather than bounced.
4 : .2 {lW} - Rhodesy_Blues signals for his teammates to present.
4 : .24 {rW} - He beckons for a lead.
4 : .3 {rW} - Over the head of Christoh.
4 : .34 {rW} - Its hard and tough but Christoh wins possession.
4 : .38 {rW} - Crunching tackle by Ljp86.
4 : .45 {lW} - Ljp86 looking for a lead.
4 : .49 {CHF} - Cheetah calls for it.
4 : .55 {CHF} - That's a great mark.
4 : .59 {CHF} - With the ball is Cheetah.
4 : 1.05 {CHF} - reggie on the end of this.
4 : 1.09 {CHF} - Loopy_cam rides reggie into the ground.
4 : 1.13 {lHBF} - The ball is now with Mr Zero.
4 : 1.2 {lHBF} - OOOOOOOooohh... Mr Eagle has poleaxed Mr Zero..
4 : 1.23 {rHFF} - Mr Eagle wants to get on with proceedings.
4 : 1.3 {FF} - Hoofs it forward..

4 : 2.3 {CHF} - Cheetah to send the ball forward.
4 : 2.34 {CHF} - Open goal!.
4 : 2.38 {CHF} - And Cheetah scores one behind.
Western Australia : 8.3.51
South Australia : 8.16.64
What were the chances we would start with a behind? Pretty much 100%. What was the likelihood it would be a WA behind? Not quite as certain. They've been good in front of goals so far but that one was a bad miss.
4 : 2.48 {FB} - George with the ball now.
4 : 2.54 {FB} - Handpass over the shoulder to WishinAintGettin.

4 : 3.38 {rBP} - Handballs to George.

4 : 4.23 {FF} - Krazy Kris presents on a long lead.
4 : 4.27 {FF} - Horrific choice of kick and Gus will mark unopposed.
4 : 4.33 {FB} - Gus wants to get on with proceedings.
4 : 4.37 {FB} - Fires out the handpass to Jerry.
4 : 4.43 {FB} - He takes the opportunity to bounce.
4 : 4.48 {lHBF} - Geeze he's got onto that one. Pressure on Mr Zero to mark.

4 : 5.37 {rHFF} - He's tackled but manages to get the shot away.
4 : 5.43 {rHFF} - Haha Mr Eagle completely shanked it. Lucky to be a behind.
Western Australia : 8.5.53

Western Australia : 9.5.59
South Australia : 8.16.64
Wayhey! hougie gets the goal and this game suddenly looks a bit more interesting. Providing both teams can kick straight this might be a close finish.

Western Australia : 10.5.65

4 : 10.18 {rHFF} - Didn't look good off the boot - a minor score.
Western Australia : 10.5.65

=====================================
SIREN SOUNDS FOR THE END OF QUARTER 4
Western Australia : 11.7.73
South Australia : 10.18.78
=====================================
Match Over!
That game really came alive in the last term after 3 quarters of mediocrity. It was a hard fought game but it really needn't have been so close given the wastefulness of South Australia in front of goals. Their atrocious kicking for goal nearly came back to haunt them in the dying stages of the match but then the curse afflicted WA and they were unable to seize their first victory. They look shattered by going through this tournament without a win and SA look pretty pleased to finish off with three wins from their five outings. Let's have a look at the stats!

Both HawkPatrol and Ljp were stunning for WA but few others contributed when they were really needed. For SA Simba and Dagless were excellent while Andonis and Loopy_cam were the main culprits infront of goals and captain The Doctor11 had just 3 touches for one goal.
Around the grounds thanks to SKM Couriers: What's a Courie? At the QEO NSW&ACT are just about to wrap that one up, with a 51 point lead late in the last quarter. It looks like it will all come down to the game tonight between Metro and The Allies.

Thanks for joining us here at a wet Subiaco. Don't forget that in Launceston tonight Vic Metro take on The Allies in a bout that will decide the Carnival winner after Country's capitulation today. Join us then but for now, good bye.
 
First quarter and a half was great but the second quarter and a half was poor. We were lucky to be leading at half time anyway, is SA had have kicked straight the game would have been just about over by then. Still, we fought on and almost stole the game late in the last term but it just wasn't to be.

HP was impressive again with hougie making the most of his limited chances, Glinn was lively early, Cheetah played well and I had a another good display.

All in all the carnival was very disappointing, to finish with no wins from five games just isn't good enough and we've certainly let our standards slip since the glory days of a few years ago where we were unstoppable. Hopefully we can regroup next carnival but I would say there will be a few new faces in the team by then.
 
6 marks off the HBF.:thumbsu:

SA's forwards better kick straight come next season letting us backs down.
