A lopsided day of results in perfect sunny conditions across the State today.
On the ABC1 Match Of The Day, Clarence belted Burnie by 92-points at Bellerive to remain unbeaten.
After a tight first quarter in which the Roos led by 8-points at the first break, it was all Clarence from there-after, booting 14 goals to 1 from that point leading by 39 at halftime, 71 at three-quarter time and mercifully for the Dockers, the Roos booted 2.9 to Nil in the final quarter - 92 points could've been WAY worse.
Brett Geappen potted another seven for the match to be on the march to the ton.
At KGV an interesting game ensued. Launceston led at halftime by 16-points and Glenorchy hit back with five goals in the third quarter to trail by only four points at three-quarter time.
In the final term it was all the Blues as they stormed away to run out 48-point winners and inflicting further misery on the very hot & cold Pies.
Brian Finch booted eight and O'Donaghue five for the Blues, whilst the Pies had Darcy, Bowring and Crouch managing two each.
At Lauderdale the North Hobart side climbed back to second on the ladder with a 69-point win over the Bombers.
After a close first half in which North were able to remain a couple of goals in front, it was in the third quarter when the floodgates opened, the Demons romped away with seven goals to one to open up a 56-point lead at lemon time.
North continuing to hold the Bombers out in the final quarter, four goals to two and an easy win.
Jesse Wells put through seven and Ken Hall four, Paul Allison who was supposed to be captain-coaching Kermandie earlier in the year before they collapsed made his return to the senior and booted three also for North.
For Lauderdale, it's becoming a case of second year blues for the newcomers.
After the joy of their first win ever at KGV, the Bombers have fallen away badly in recent weeks and Darren Winter will have plenty of headaches
On a glorious day up at Youngtown, a moderate crowd saw South Launceston going into the match choc-full of confidence after registering their second win this season, away at West Park by a point last week.
Their opponents Hobart went in with a number of players missing due to school commitments and were further weakened with Cassidy out and Heath Neville was dropped to the reserves.
Rumour has it South also had a lot out for disciplinary reasons.
The Bulldogs started the match well with the first two goals before Hobart got themselves back into the match with five majors to lead at the first break and a continued domination in the second resulting in a 37-point lead at half time.
The Dogs got back into the match a little in the third with a couple of good bits of play resulting in a couple of good goals, then one of the Dogs players was knocked out and stretchered off (didn't see who he was) but after a long stoppage Hobart switched on quickly and rammed home three quick ones to get away to a 54-point lead at the last change.
The final quarter it was all Hobart as the Tigers rammed on eight goals to one at the scoreboard end to run out 90-point winners giving Hobart its first win at Youngtown since 1992 and its biggest win at that venue.
Aaron Hall was outstanding driving the Tigers down the ground constantly and sweeping across half back, Howe was equally dominant booting five, Lemm led from the front and Sam Cleary continues to improve, I thought Todd Willing was also good, presenting well and giving us a good presence in the forward line, setting up goals and kicking two himself.
Willing was swapping between ruck and the forward line and we looked especially good when he was up front.
The Bulldogs tried hard but were just outclassed on the day. If Hobart can get some consistency going they will really trouble a lot of good sides, they need to tighten the gap between their best and worst, when they are good they are extremely good but when they're not so crash hot they are very, very poor.
Very good win by the boys today
PS: A word on umpires and their uniforms.
Who was the bright spark who allowed them to wear Black and Gold uniforms?
It's very confusing for all concerned, especially when they're umpiring a team dressed in Black & Gold!
Put 'em in WHITE!
