Ellenbrook v Dianella Morley
The Eels will take this one at home comfortably. They just snuck home last week so I don't expect them to be anything but lethal this week.
Piara Waters v Manning
I'm looking forward to this game. My Rippers need this win to remain in the 5, and Piara are showing good form, but I'm confident our boys will get up. Also looking forward to reuniting with my old coach (now coaching Piara) who I also spent many years with at Manning, TA's and the State 19's. We will no doubt be having a few frothies after the battle.
SNESA v Brentwood Booragoon
Both sides coming off excellent wins makes this game VERY interesting, with a possible slot in the 5 up for grabs. In my opinion this is game of the round. They are both in good form and difficult to split, so I'll take the "home ground" theory and tip SNESA, but, like most of my tips this season, I'm not confident in my choice. Hope it's a close one, as it will make "great theatre".
Swan Valley v Nollamara
Top of the table clash, but kind of a dead rubber. No one cares about a May premier, least of all these two clubs. I anticipate that the top slot will change hands many times throughout the season. Although Nolla will be angry for last week, Swan Valley have their tails up and won't drop this one. I'm predicting a blow out.
Mosman Park v Armadale
It seems Armadale are a "hot/cold" prospect week in week out. They got thumped two weeks ago, then took it up to Ellenbrook last week in a close loss. If their up/down form follows suit, this should be a cold week for Armadale, so I'm tipping Mozzies in a walk over.
Good footy, everyone.
