Onion ridge v Wanneroo
agree with the earlier comment regarding the onions home ground at heathridge, terrible change rooms, tacky clubrooms and the ground itself is a huge uneven dustbowl that blows a gale. i think the real roos are beginning to shape towards a strong season with big wins so far, the onions have had a strange start to the season but i think they will still have have a role to play in this comp. its gotta be wanneroo though for me.

Kingsway v Kelmscott - GOTR
the kingsway hunter revolution has taken the competition by storm so far this year, culminating in a big win over melville last weekend. they key thing questions for kingsway later in the season because they have been april superpowers for a couple of years to no avail. kelmscott were widely predicted to take c1 by scruff of its neck and charge back up into b grade and so far they have been good without being great. definite game of the round with the winner annoucning themselves a genuine premiership contender. im backing kelmy in a tight one.
kelmy by one straight kick
Gosnells v Kingsway
kingsway have been physically intimidated for the last 2 years and they tend to butcher the football all over the ground. they were kept in the game last week by a relatively inspid cooly. that wont be the case this week. this will be a murder.

Melville v CWP
despite the return of the panda (with no mention of last years finals series) i think this may be a sleeper for a match of the round. as an ardent clubman and noted beer swilling supporter at yokine reserve, i have been a little disappointed with coolys last 2 efforts, despite getting the chocolates over melbourne last week. Melville on the other hand seem like they are yet to hit the rich vein of form from last season and will be snarling after a loss to kingsway hunter ast week. melville are excepts at dissecting teams on their auskick paddock and gave cwp a touch up last year. despite the odds stacked against my boys, i've got to tip with my heart and tip cooly in an upset.
cooly by 10 points
thornlie v lynwood
should be a good game with both teams similarly placed on the ladder, 4 points could be important for both teams come late in the season with a tight comp begining to take shape. in fact im tipping that they will share the points this week.
a draw
p.s. its good to have the panda back
