TOPIC:

Well after much deliberation and negotiation Mr Mysterious is back again for season 2015. Yes it's true, I've had more comebacks than John Farnham but fear not, talk of retirement is much exaggerated! MrM is back for now and seemingly (until a better offer comes along) for good.

I hope everybody enjoyed their off-season as much as me. I met the girl of my dreams at my local watering hole. A nice waitress, whom had the ability to carry 3 pints in one hand. Pity she was unavailable for MrM. But I remembered go with the golden rule: date a girl with small hands. Not one with hands the size of Andre the Giant.

Alright, enough of me, for those who know MrM they know he hates to self indulge.

I think 2015 will be a tough season for all. It's looking like a very even competition. I hesitate to make a ladder prediction, after last season boldly predicting Bullcreek would play finals only for them to be relegated. So I won't be making a ladder prediction, I'd rather people let the football do the talking.

Collegians v Whitford @Allen Park

Collegians play at their temporary home whilst Dalkeith Oval gets refurbished. Allen Park isn't an overly big ground so get ready for some tight contested football. Collegians were a very hot and cold team last season. Their good was good, their bad was no good, im sure they can turn it around this season. North Padbury start off with a new coach, new players, can they turn around a disappointing previous season? Time will tell. Should be a good contest down in Swanbourne. I think Collegians will get off to a good start in 2015.

Maddington v Hamersley Carine @Harmony Fields

Well it's the battle of the maroon and gold. Maddington have some good young players, depth has been an issue for them in the past, but reports of good numbers at training will hold them in good stead. Hamersley are the unknown, played finals last season and have gained a few players back, however it's whether they can play good consistent football across the season. Should be another good game, tough to rip however I'll go with Hamersley.

Kingsway v Swan Athlectic @Kingsway Reserve

Well this is Kingsway's debut in B Grade and it's sure to be a tough test against Swan Ath after the later was relegated last season. Kngsway played some very good football last season and were quite impressive in the C Grade GF, however that counts for nothing come Saturday. Swan Ath have a new coach in charge and won't be happy after dropping down to B Grade. Should be a good clash, and correct me if I'm wrong but this is the first ever clash between these two sides? Should be a cracker. I'm going with Kingsway, just.
Kingsway by 1 goal

Stirling v Scarborough @Richard Guefli Reserve

Well Stirling are another side on the way back to A Grade after spending a season down in C Grade. Depth was an issue last season after their Reserves, Colts and Thirds all copped hidings. They have no colts side this season so they may lose a few good youngsters from that. Scarborough have a new coach and he brings some great experience to a side that has disappointingly last the past 3 B Grade Preliminary Finals. Can "The Big Shuff" be the missing piece and guide them back to A Grade? MrM thinks he might be. Scarborough should be too good here, even with some of Stirling's recruits.

Wanneroo v Wembley @Wanneroo Showgrounds MOTR

Need I say more? Yes this is Match of the Round. Why you ask? Battle of the white V. A few other reasons too but I won't dwell on those.
Wanneroo has had a good pre season, with many numbers at training ready for an exciting 2015. A few new faces in the league side should see Wanneroo improve. Wembley are a very good club, right through all the grades. I'm sure the change of scenery for them won't affect how they perform throughout the year. This should be a close tough & rough contest, much like the encounters from last season. Wanneroo should be up and about in front of a home crowd, hungry for football.
Wanneroo by 1 goal.

Good luck to all this season, let's get those deep fryers ready and start producing those chips. Should be no excuses after MrM's good friend Tony Galati has made potatoes readily available for all, so get them while you can.
MrM is always ready to fork out a beer for the first opposition supporter to recognise him. However remember, MrM is not who you think, and unsubstantiated rumours about me are frowned upon.

Good luck to all teams certainly going to be a great B grade this year

Whitfords
Maddo
Swan Ath
Scarborough
Wembley

For those that care there is only one team (Kingsway) competing in B Grade that has not competed previously in the big boys competition (A Grade).

Accordingly I am predicting that Kingsway will make the big day and be competing with Scarborough for the B Grade Flag.

As to this weeks games:

Collegians v Whitford @Allen Park

Collegians will improve this year whereas Whitfords were terrible last year and will find it very hard to get back to A Grade. I feel a bit nostalgic given the game is at Allen Park.Almost tempted to go down and watch as I'm sure all my Swanbourne best clubman pictures are still on the wall.

Maddington v Hamersley Carine @Harmony Fields

Maddo's depth will test them but I think they will get up.Is Catta going around again? He must be 37 by now!
Maddo by 2 goals

Kingsway v Swan Athlectic @Kingsway Reserve
Have to stick with my early prediction that Kingsway will shock everybody, so if they can beat Swan Ath that will give them the confidence they can hold their own for the rest of the year. Why is Embley playing for Swan Ath anyway?
Kingsway by 1 point

Stirling v Scarborough @Richard Guefli Reserve

The Scarborough maroons with half the Subiaco League side should murder Stirling.
Scarborough by 15 goals

Wanneroo v Wembley @Wanneroo Showgrounds MOTR

Wembley will "shine" and do a lot more this year. Unfortunately for Mr Mysterious the first game will (apart from the hamburgers) be a disappointment for him.
Wembley by 5 goals

Collegians 3 goals
Maddo 5 goals

Scabs-10+ goals
Wembly 6 goals

Scarborough are missing 9 first team players this week.
Stirling to get the chocolates.

Whitfords to strong with hunter up fed, Whitfords by 5 goals
Maddo always tough at harmony, maddo by 2 goals in a close one
Swan ath have been smashed in pre season training and a few are sore and may not play, lost a key backman to country which will hurt, depth will be an issue this year so going Kingsway in a close one at home. 2 goals
Scabs to strong even with 9 out shiz, 8 goals
Going for wanneroo at home in a close one, 2 points.

Good luck to all teams this weekend. Will be a tight and even comp this year and if ur off your game 10% u won't get the job done this year.

Hawk eye,
Embley plays for Swan Ath. Because he teaches at Ellenbrook (won state teacher of the year a few years ago) probably just easier for him to play there and play with a few ex Swans teammates.

I hope the hamburgers aren't the only good thing about Saturday. MrM wants those delicious hot chips with delicious gravy.
