This weeks round 2 should start to see which teams are contenders and which teams are not. The addition of C3 team Nollamara will also add interest.

Melville v Coolbellup
Both teams got pumped last week and my sources ( Coolbelups fb page ) say that the cats are struggling for numbers this even so you would think that they would still be too good for Melville.

Swan Districts v Ocean Ridge
The TV stars of amateurs take on the boys from Heathridge. Swans had a bye last week and the Ridge had a massive win over Melville . Be interesting to see who Swans have lining up for them and will West Coast Eagle Murray Newman be playing. They will also be unhappy that Marley Williams got off with a suspended sentence. The Swans should be too good with their superior fitness.

Roleystone V Forrestdale.
Probably be the match of the day. Both teams had good wins first up. Forrestdale to win.

Safety Bay v Bayswater
The bay had a big win last game and apparently have a number of ex Peel Thunder players who left Peel due to lack of opportunity due the Freo Dockers alignment . Both these teams have reserve teams so should have an advantage over other E1 clubs. Safety Bay should get up in a close game.

Nollamara v Quinn's
A lot has been said about Nollamara and there are conflicting reports on who has left Nollamara. It will be a bitter pill to swallow for the stalwarts of there club as I am sure there are plenty of good people running the club who would be heartbroken buy what has happened. Nollamara should bounce back and win.

Would be good to get some E1 talk going. Can anyone get close to Swan Districts?

Melville v Coolbellup

Melville's strength has been it's defensive structures but i think coolbellup will be too strong. Iirc , both teams premiers last year.

Swan Districts v Ocean Ridge

Even though Ridge had a big win , Swans always seem to be unbeatable early in a season.

Roleystone v Forrestdale

Forrestdale to be one of the top group of teams. Hard at the ball and make you earn your possesions.

Bayswater v Safety Bay

Hard to pick. If Safety Bays Mids give there key forwards enough ball, they could sneak a win.

Nollamara v Quinns

Will be barracking for quinns even though they had a few kicked against them last week but Nollamara coming down from c3 would win you'd think.

Good to see some e grade stuff some good teams in the grade. Swan districts will be hard to beat as they are prob the fittest team in amateurs and that will always be an edge. How many of the swans players get out and keep playing.
My tips for the weeks games are
Swan by a heap
Safety bay in a close one
Coolby to pump the Rams who I have heard have lost heaps
Roleystone
Nollamara will still get a good team u would think

Nollamara getting a bus to Quinn's to make sure they get a side.

Coolbellup to beat Melville.
Ridge to win in the upset of the round.
Forrestdale over Roleystone.
Safety Bay too strong for Bayswater.
Nollamara to have their first win in E grade against Quinns.

Going by the clearances on the waafl site it would appear that former swan districts captain wil collard has landed himself back in jail.
Interesting to see if this is the case and whether or not he's going to be allowed to re-enter the new horizons program at swans given that he's gone back inside.

Coolby
Swans
Bayswater
Nollamara
