Dianella (1st) v Brentwood (10th)
The Raiders looked to have top spot wrapped up but may have Doug themselves into a hole with the loss against MP - the chasing pack is now only half a game behind and sets up some big games in the next few weeks. Brentwood got towelled up by CWP & pushed down to the bottom of the ladder - they need a couple of wins to get back out of the relegation zone but I don't see it happening - Dianella to win.
Belmont (8th) v Coolbinia (7th)
I'll actually give this one "Match of the Round" due to it's importance in keeping a club up in C3. The Falcons jumped off the bottom with a win over the Bulldogs and will be looking to keep the good form going. Belmont slugged it out with the Eels but ended up going down by less than a kick - results will surely come their way soon. This one is difficult to pick but with the big unit now with a game under his belt I'll give the kiss of death to CWP and pick them to narrowly win.
SNESA (4th) v Piara (5th)
The Saints are only 4th on % and would still be eyeing off top spot - a win here would put them 3 games clear of Piara and guarentee them finals. The Falcons have really struggled over the last few weeks and need to get their mojo back in a hurry before the season slips away. I'll pick SNESA on the waterlogged home ground.
Mosman Park (2nd) v Cottesloe (6th)
The western suburbs derby. MP got their second controversial win over a fellow top 5 side in a row and will be looking to push for the top spot and put a dampener on Cottesloe's chances of getting into the 5. The Roosters are pecking at the door and will be backing themselves here (and hoping SNESA win) to jump Piara into 5th spot. They'll have to play some good football and get a big lead going into 3/4 time by the sounds of it - not sure they'll have the chance to do that up on the hilltop. Mosman Park to win.
Ellenbrook (3rd) v Manning (9th)
The Rippers dropped down the ladder on the back of the weekends loss and suddenly they find themselves in the relegation zone - they needs wins and quickly. The Eels won a brutal affair out at Forster Park and will look to back it up this week. Ellenbrook to win.
