_______________________________________________________
An interesting round of matches coming up this Saturday.
The ABC1 game sees the South's two bitterest rivals go head-to-head at Bellerive Oval.
The Roos held sway for much of their match last week against North before being overrun in the dying minutes to go down.
The Magpies, despite wayward kicking early, disposed of a very inexperienced Hobart side by over 15-goals.
Expect to see some fireworks between the two but a good game is on the cards, Clarence have a tremendous record at Bellerive and Glenorchy will be out to prove they are still a force to be reckoned with.
I'm tipping with absolutely no confidence whatsoever, the Roos to win by 8-points.
Lauderdale hosts its first ever TSL match at Dona Road and a big crowd is expected to pack into the tiny venue.
Lauderdale will be oozing with confidence after registering its first ever TSL win at Youngtown two weeks ago and will be anxious to show their local community down there just how much improvement they have made as a club.
Their opponents North Hobart come into this match with a great confidence boost after clawing their way to an 18-point triumph over Clarence last week.
While I think the Bombers will take the game up to North I think North will just be a little too polished in the end and take the points at a venue that many opposition teams will find very tricky to play at.
North Hobart by 34 points in the end.
Launceston host last placed Hobart at Windsor Park, Riverside on Saturday in what is expected to be a pretty one-sided result.
The Blues will be smarting after being handed a shock defeat by their cross-town rival North Launceston last week and won't be in a very forgiving mood.
The Tigers suffered a disastrous 92-point home defeat to Glenorchy on Good Friday and despite the inclusion of veteran Trent Harvey into the side this week, the lack of experience in the Hobart side will more than likely see a defeat of similar proportions.
Windsor Park is the only venue that Hobart has played on that it has never recorded a victory at, I doubt they will this week either.
It will be a steep learning curve for the young Tiger outfit but one they will benefit from in the long run.
An impressive Launceston outfit to win by 108 points
At Youngtown, South Launceston tackle Burnie.
The Bulldogs head into this one on a loss after losing to Lauderdale at the same venue two weeks ago, while the Dockers have been patchy thus far, losing to North Launceston (away) and eventually pulling away from Devonport in the second half for a six goal win at West Park last week.
The Dogs are also a fairly inexperienced side, the Dockers should record a solid win on the road.
Burnie by 49 points.
In the last match of the round, Devonport take on unbeaten North Launceston under the brand new lights at Devonport Oval on Saturday night.
The fledgling Magpies haven't been figured to be amongst the leading teams in this year's competition but fought it out stoicly against Burnie last week while the Bombers have been flying so far, recording two home wins against Burnie and Launceston and playing very slick football.
North Launceston should record their third straight win for the season in this one, the Bombers by 53 points.
Who's your tips for this week?
