TOPIC:

Well who can believe we are here at the end of the season already. We have seen some people like Fullback disappear off the face of the earth, however, am sure he will remerge once finals come around, and who knew the Padbury boys were so passionate about Reserves football they came out in their droves. As for MrM as usual he has been here week in, week out and we all know MrM is the best, as for MrM wannabees, I do feel for you.  

We have 4 very exciting games of football this weekend and 1 that really means nothing to the overall scheme of things, so more on that later. 4 teams are still in a chance for relegation, 2 teams can finish top of the ladder, and the top 5 order is still to be determined as well. Let us not wait any further and find out now. 

Mt Lawley v Ocean Ridge @Hamer Park

The last ever game at Hamer Park for Mt Lawley? Is MrM correct? And what a vital game it is for the MT Lawley boys. A loss and if results go against them, they can see themselves slipping down to 9th spot. Very hard to imagine I know, but stranger things have happened. Onion Ridge though, a win and they can sneak into the top 3 if results go their way, a loss and a home final beckons, so up to them where they would rather finish. Should be a fantastic game, both clubs plenty to play for. I think Onion Ridge gets home in a dramatic finish, and Mt Lawley don’t get blown away and not hurt their percentage too much. Ocean Ridge by 2 goals  

Bassendean v West Coast @Jubilee Reserve

Well this game is basically an early final for both sides, with perhaps a bit of cat and mouse at play. Bassendean will not want to drop the double chance but know a win and they will face the exact same side next weekend. West Coast are still a big chance for the much-excited top spot but will need a win and other results to go their way.  This will be a big game, and who knows West Coast may rest some players to freshen them up for next week. It is hard to go past Bassendean t home though.
Bassendean by 2 goals

Kingsley v Swan Athletic @Kingsley Park

Well this is probably the most important game of the weekend. Kingsley, it is all but over for them only a colossal win would be enough to save them, but as MrM said, stranger things have happened. They can also ruin Swan Aths day with a win. Swan Ath, well they must be thankful they have snuck a few surprises wins this season otherwise it is goodbye for them. A win is not enough for the Ath boys, it will need to be a win and win big and pray that Ballajura do not sneak a win over Wanneroo. Or just hope results fall as they should. Should be very interesting. I can see Ath being far too good here and save themselves form the executioner by the barest of margins.
Swan Athletic by 3 goals

Whitford v Bullcreek Leeming @Macdonald Reserve

This game means nothing in terms of ladder positions. I am sure all involved will be excited to play. Bullcreek have bigger fish to fry with finals next weekend and Whitford, probably dropping some players back to qualify for finals. Who knows what will happen. To be perfectly Francis, MrM does not really mind what happens, the smart thing to do is toss the coin, shake hands and give the result up...the Padbury lower grades are good at that, ask them to help.
Bullcreek Leeming by 3 goals (or 90-1 who knows) 

Wanneroo v Ballajura @Wanneroo Showgrounds

A big game, with big implications here. By half time both sides should know what they need to do for their seasons hopes. Wanneroo it is simple a win and they will finish top and earn a week off. Should be a big crowd, with big things happening at the Showgrounds. Ballajura know a win may be enough for them to avoid relegation (Results depending ) but a loss and also (results depending) may see them fall down to C Grade in season 2022. It will be a hard fought game MrM would have though, but Wanneroo will get a win.
Wanneroo by 5 goals 

Good luck too all playing this weekend.

Havent posted for a couple of weeks as I didnt think it was worth it with some key board warriors coming in for a snipe and then disappear until someone else says something they dont like. But it is just footy after all. For what its worth my predictions.

Mt Law V OR. Should be an enthralling game. OR have been the surprised packet of the year and played some great footy and Mt Law have improved form last year for sure. Mt Law destiny is in their own hands and looking at previous scores if they kicked straight could of been a different story. The new coach of the club has performed at a high standard from what I have seen. I have been in the huddle at the breaks listening in and impressed at the way he and the other coaches actually coach. Will that be enough,not sure as they dont have a massive talent list, but play for each other. I really hope the club get this win. Mt Law by a goal

Bassendean$ V WC . WC to win easily here and my tip for the flag. I travelled to watch last week for 3 quarters and they are a good outfit. Basso, hot and cold and still not convinced they play for each other but for other reasons. WC have some class players and will put Bassendean under pressure from the outset. WC by 5goals

Kingsley V SA . Kinglsey playing C1 next year and I think SA will do enough to stay up. A young group but they will get the win and survive. SA by 3goals

Whitford V BC. BC should win and agree with Mr M that Whitfords may qualify players as they are safe to play B grade next year. Hoping BC get up by 5goals

Wanneroo V Ballajura. Wanneroo playing for top spot and Ballajura playing to survive. Wanneroo wouldnt want to drop this going into finals and will win by 6goals on their home deck.

Have a great weekend all.

Round 18 already, who’d have thought. Finals to come and things are nearing then pointy end. 

Onion rings take on mt lawley who are playing at Hamer park for the last time and a past players day too by the looks of it. For this reason alone I think they will get up here. 

WC will beat ba$$o. WC still burning after 2020s failure to win and will do enough here. 

SA will win by 4 goals. The big boys in Yukich and Polich will kick a couple each and be the difffence. 

whitford to cause an upset and beat bullcreek but who cares. Whitfords have forfeited their way to an easier path in 2022 for their lower grade so hoorah for them.

balla to lose triumphantly to the Roos. The Balla boys are an earthy mob and they will come up to the Showgrounds with plenty of and gusto but it won’t be enough to win. Roos by 3 goals. 

Will any of the top 5 in B grade be competitive in A grade next year??

Blunder so knowledgeable? An easier path? clearly the most knowledgeable unit in PFL. Never mind the other clubs that have headed to E grade🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
