Only 2 weeks to go in our regular season, with top spot, the final 2 spots in the finals and one spot in relegation still to be decided it's fair to say the next few weeks will be very interesting indeed. Each game is big for all clubs so I'm very much looking forward to seeing what the results are come 5pm on Saturday afternoon.
Willetton v Scarborough @Burrendah Reserve
Last time they met
Scarborough 18.18 (126) defeated Willetton 12.1 (73)
Willetton still have a lot to offer this season and they can shape the ladder. They are destined for C Grade next season but I'm sure they'd still be looking to win the remaining 2 games. Scarborough slipped up last week losing and also losing second spot on the ladder. This is a big game for Scarborough, who need to make up the percentage they lost to overcome Wembley especially as they play North Freo next week. I think Scarborough should come out all guns blazing this week.
Scarborough by 6 goals.
Hamersley Carine v Maddington @Carine Open Space
Last time they met
Maddington 12.6 (78) defeated Hamersley Carine 9.5 (59)
Hamersley had a good win against Kelmscott last week keeping their hope of finishing 4th and earning a home final. They need a win here as a loss (although they would need to lose by quite a bit) could see them pushed to 7th, but probably 6th is more likely or they could stay 5th, either way a win is more important than ever. Maddington have that slim hope of finals but will definitely need to win here a loss definitely ends the hope of finals. Should be a good game at Carine with the clash of the maroon and gold. It's also ladies at Hamersley so that should provide a boost and see them win here.
Hamersley by 3 goals.
Collegians v Bullcreek Leeming @Dalkeith Oval MOTR
Last time they met
Bullcreek Leeming 8.8 (56) defeated by Collegians 13.5 (83)
Well a few games could have earned have earned this esteemed title, but seeing as both clubs future is on the line here I've decoded to awarded this Mr Mysterious' Match of the Round.
Collegians have had a very disappointing last 6 weeks losing all 6 games in that period, which now sees them sitting 1 game out of relegation, with finals out of the question and possibly a few players returning from holiday, this weeks game could be one of the biggest in the clubs history, if they fall into the relegation zone it could mean the double drop and that can spell bad news. Bullcreek have strung 2 wins together now and have a chance to keep that streak alive here also a chance to move out of the relegation zone. This will be a tough physical game and I'm sure it will be close. I think Bullcreek can win here and possibly avoid the drop.
Bullcreek by 1 goal.
North Fremantle v Wembley @Gil Fraser Oval
Last time they met
Wembley 14.11 (95) defeated North Fremantle 12.3 (75)
North Freo will be firing after last weeks loss which now leaves them with a chance of losing top spot. They have a tough few next weeks playing both teams who are vying that top spot. Wembley need a win to keep the chance of finishing 1st as a possibility but also a good chance to earn a home final if they finish 2nd. Could this be a grand final preview? MrM thinks so, although the Grand Final could be a better quality match than this game. Wembley got the job done last time and I think they can do it again.
Wembley by 2 goals
Wanneroo v Kelmscott @Wanneroo Showgrounds
Last time they met
Kelmscott 14.10 (94) defeated Wanneroo 10.10 (70)
Well it's a simple for Wanneroo, win and they can still finish 4th. If they lose it makes it all that tougher. Coming off a good, hard fought out win last weekend, may be a few sore bodies in the Wanneroo camp. Kelmscott slipped up last weekend giving others a sniff of finishing 4th. They need to get back to playing their best football, as their best is quite good. Should be a good crowd at The Showgrounds (or the Wanneroo mudpit) and I'm sure it will be a good game. I'll go with Wanneroo because I'm biased and I genuinely think they can win.
Wanneroo by 2 goals
Good luck to all those playing this weekend and play within the right spirits, which means don't go the knuckle.
