With only 3 Rounds of football left we know now that one thing is for certain, Maddington will be relegated, unfortunate for a club who was in A Grade 3 short seasons ago, but heading to C Grade isn't the worst thing to ever happen to a club, look at how Scarborough have turned it around. With so much left to decide in 2015, these next three weeks of the regular season could be the most exciting of them all. With a few teams on the march and looking at sneaking into the finals, the race for Fifth is on, while for the second season in a row Wembley are storming home and loom as a big threat to the top 3, it's up to Scarborough to hold onto top spot, while the order and teams are still to be determined for the remaining 4 finals places. As for Kingsway and Stirling, it's down to them in the relegation battle, things couldn't be more exciting.
As for MrM well this week I feel for the true minority group in Australia and that is the middle aged, heterosexual caucasian male, living in a monogamous relationship with his wife and kids at home, just food for thought. In other good news, the redevelopment of the Innaloo shops was approved and Tony G couldn't be more thrilled, more customers, means better business and better prices for you.
With plenty of football to discuss, let's get right into as MrM watches Australia capitulate in this third test, let's hope they resurrect by the time I finish.
Swan Athletic v Wembley @Fawell Park MOTR
Last time they met
Wembley 8.8 (56) defeated by Swan Athletic 13.10 (88)
This winner of this game, should move into the top 3, if that's Swan Ath they could open up a 6 point gap and lock up that double chance with a good end to the season, if Wembley wins, look out others, as MrM has said they the form side and are going along swimmingly, which is why I've awarded this Match Of The Round.
Swan Ath have stumbled of late, not winning a game in their last 4 and it may cost them in the long run, a win here against Wembley would be a big confidence boost heading into finals. Wembley are coming, you've been warned. They have have a few games here to show if they are the real deal or pretenders. MrM think they are serious contenders and should just defeat Swan Ath this weekend and prove me right (for once).
Wembley by 2 goals
Maddington v Collegians @Harmony Fields
Last time they met
Collegians 20.15 (135) defeated Maddington 4.3 (27)
Maddington are here to play for respect in these remaining few games and hope they can build on something as they head into C Grade next season. It's a good time to take stock and even play some kids. Collegians still have that hope of playing finals and should be out to emulate their last performance against Maddington here. MrM thinks Collegians should win and then hit the books ahead of Uni starting in a few days.
Collegians by 6 goals
Kingsway V Wanneroo @Kingsway Reserve
Last time they met
Wanneroo 15.13 (103) defeated Kingsway 6.9 (45)
Kingsway and Wanneroo battle for the Mayors Cup this weekend. Kingsway are still a chance of being relegated so they win be out to win this weekend as they always lift a gear when playing Wanneroo. They should also have an extra pep in their step as its ladies day at Kingsway and MrM is looking forward to seeing what talents on offer, given it was ladies day at Wanneroo in earlier fixture, I expect something similar. Wanneroo just need to keep winning and it will hold them in good stead towards September. They need not look too far ahead of themselves though as a slip up could prove costly. Wanneroo should get it done here though.
Wanneroo by 4 goals
Scarborough v Hamersley Carine @Millington Reserve
Last time they met
Hamersley Carine 8.7 (55) defeated by Scarborough 14.7 (91)
Scarborough losing last weekend has opened up the possibility of another side grabbing top spot come season's end. A minor blip isn't the end of the world though as they are still in a very good position. Hamersley got a much needed win last week and should take confidence from that. They will need to keep winning if they want a double chance, or to get a home final, a loss and they keep live the hope for there looking to play finals. Scarborough will win here and atone for last weeks loss.
Scarborough by 4 goals
Stirling v Whitford @Richard Guefli Reserve
Last time they met
Whitford 17.10 (112) defeated Stirling 10.10 (70)
Stirling still have the slimmest of chances to avoid relegation and its season over if they don't win here. It would be a great shame to fall back down after the hard work of getting back to B grade, so they desperately need a win. Whitford are the other side looking to get into the Top 5, and given they have a healthy percentage, they should get another big percentage boost here. Whitford will win and slam the nail into the coffin of Stirling's season and chances of staying in B Grade.
Whitford by 10 goals
Good luck to all this weekend. Please play in the right spirit, we have been incident free in B Grade this season, so keep up the great work.
Australia is now All Out and we will need to bowl very well to have any chance in this test match, we currently have not bowled well at all.
