TOPIC:

Last weekends round didn't see the wet weather football we thought, but by looking at the scores there were some cracking games and the ladder certainly doesn't look anything like we all thought it would at the start of the season.

Melville vs BullCreek @ Melville Reserve
A bit of a derby this one, these teams have a bit of history so should be a heated contest. Melville would be disappointed to lose last week by 2 points, a game they felt a big chance of winning. But you can't doubt their form over the last 2 weeks. BullCreek would be disappointed too and would have been confident against Kenwick last week but lost in convincing fashion. The Creek are winless this year and I cant see them changing that this weekend. Melville by 38 points.

Quinns vs Gosnells @ Rdgewood Park
Gosnells continued their winning way last week in what would have been a difficult day for them. They had something to play for but would have been excused for being a bit distracted but full credit to them doing it pretty easily in the end. Quinns are another team looking for their first points, and had a good showing against Bassendean last week. Gosnells will be too strong however, and I tip them by 21 points.

Carlisle vs Stirling @ Carlise Reserve
Carlisle the third and final team without a win, and coming up against the two promoted teams from C2 in the first 3 weeks they would have been confident on at least a 2-1 start. Stirling are undefeated since coming down but just scrapped over the line last week. Their depth could be an issue later in the year with their reserves struggling. I'm tipping an upset in this one, Carlise by 5 points.

Kenwick vs Bassendean @ Mills Park
Kenwick would be bouyed by a good win against Bullcreek last weekend to give them back to back wins for the first time in a while. Meanwhile Bassendean are just quietly getting it done, taking down some pretty decent sides in their path. This should be a good game, but Bassendean will continue their winning run by 15 points.

Willeton vs Ballajura @ Burrendah Reserve
Like Carlisle, Willeton will be wondering where they went wrong after the looking at the fixtures and seeing Basso and Gosnells in their first 3 weeks only to find themselves 1-2. Ballajura shook of their loss to Melville in emphatic style, trouncing Carlisle at home and getting a nice percentage boost in the process. Balla too strong in this one, 31 points.

Have a great weekend everyone, the weather looks fantastic so set up for another weekend of good quality community footy.

Good Write up GAH. Its great to have something to read up about each week so thanks for doing this.

As for my tips for this week
Melville
Gosnells
Stirling
Bassendean
Ballajura

Cheers get around him!

Been bit quiet on here the past couple of weeks.

I will take Melville by 5 goals
Gosnells to beat quinns by 7 goals
Carlisle with the upset over Stirling with Stirling having a couple out. 14points
Willetton to be touched up by ballajura as they also have a few outs. 55points
Kenwick to get the choccies over Basso 20points

Results from the weekend went as expected, however some differing margins from what I tipped.

Melville beat Bullcreek by 9 points. In the last 3 weeks Melville games have been decided by a total of 16 points. Not doing much for the blood pressure of their coach and fans ! Bullcreek remain winless and would be left wondering where there first win will come from.

Gosnells comfortable winners over Quinns in a game I don't think we have heard the last of. Quinns remain winless and it doesn't get any easier for them over the next 2 weeks. Early stages but is looking daunting for them. Gosnells looking the goods, the C2 grand final replay next week against the two undefeated teams will be a beauty !

Carlisle big winners over Stirling ! I tipped the upset but that margin is surprising. Will be saying it all year, but Stirlings depth a big issue. With no colts and a struggling reserves outfit its hard to see the succession plan in place for Stirling?? As the season goes on and injuries etc take their toll, I expect them to drop off.

Basso easy over Kenwick. See Gosnells comments above which is applicable to Basso. Their colts and reserves are going well too so happy times down at Basso by the looks! Kenwick look hard to pick, couple of solid wins combined with some comfortable losses.

Close game at Burrendah, but the result is what was expected. Balla a good outfit, Willeton probably played a bit above what they normally would with the occasion of the day but wasn't enough. Would be great to hear a report on the game? Was it tense and decided in the last minute or did Balla control the dying moments?
