Well the penultimate chapter of the shortened 2020 season is upon us and it shapes up to be a decent couple of fixtures out at Piara Waters.
Well done to those of you who tipped correctly. Highpants looks like a bit of a fool only getting 1 of the 4 right on the day.
RESERVES
Noranda Vs Forrestdale
Noranda will be livid with themselves for dropping their first game of the season, especially with a full compliment of players to pick from. Meanwhile, the Falcons will be elated about coming away from Shelley Park with a good win. Expecting a huge contingent of Forrestdale fans to head around the corner and get behind their team in this one.
That said, i think there's just a little too much quality in this Noranda side and I'll tip them to get up by a couple of kicks.
Piara Vs Rossmoyne
Piara apparently gave a far better account of themselves than the first battle of the falcons, only being down by a couple of points at 3QT before Forrestdale kicked away. I'm sure they'll be happy to be back at home for this one though.
As for Rossmoyne, by all accounts it was a bruising encounter with a few serious injuries before coming away with a relatively comprehensive win against Roley last week on their big home ground.
Both teams were expected to be up there this year and if not for the rise of the other Falcons, may well of found themselves playing off against eachother last week.
The last encounter was an 88 point victory to Piara on their home deck and all signs would point to them coming out on top again as I'm not sure that the small grounds suit the Rossmoyne style of play.
I'll tip Piara in this one by 24 points, though i expect Rossmoyne to throw absolutely everything at them in this one.
Good luck to all teams this weekend.
