TOPIC:

After the fruitful discussion last weekend MrM is back again for some more Perth Football League A Grade action. It is good to see the banter alive and well and MrM has even made a new friend, if you ever run into MrM “The Preacher” it will be MrM’s shout, as he loves what you bring.

Sadly no gif this week for MrM’s followers…next week he will find something special.

Plenty of big games for all involved this weekend, one thing all can remember though at the end of the day it is community football, something that seems lost on a few people MrM happens to converse with. Football should be fun for all, which will be MrM’s next campaign, make football fun again!

As we settle for a month period of campaigns, MrM’s campaign, turned crusade has fallen of deaf ears for some, especially for what MrM bare witness to last weekend. No hot chips, fair enough Uni students, they are really hard to cook and potatoes are really hard to come by…
SO MrM had to settle for a toastie made right in front of MrM (no qualms about this, MrM LOVES freshness) but made with no gloves on? An interesting technique, however the game needs to be lifted ladies and gentlemen, standards need to be higher.

All right, let us look at this weekends matches, MrM cannot wait.

North Beach v University @Charles Riley Reserve

Both these sides got their season off to the exact start you would want. North Beach managed to outlast TA’s despite the latters attempt to rough a few up (MrM hears and sees things) but will relish being back at home this weekend against an opponent who were slick last weekend. Uni were good last weekend, but can they bring it to the big boys of the competition they way they disposed of Wanneroo last weekend. I think North Beach will be too good here.
North Beach by 4 goals

Kingsley v North Fremantle @Kingsley Park MOTR

Settle down MrM what are you doing some would say, well it is a Grand Final rematch, and first ever A Grade game at Kingsley Reserve so it’s this weekend’s Match Of The Round.
Both sides looking to get there season underway, Kingsley had a tough ask last weekend away for Round 1, but back at home, should feel more comfortable against a familiar opponent. North Freo fell short against another quality side last weekend but would take their chances this weekend. Out of both Grand Final sides, I can see North Freo getting slightly stronger and will get it done this weekend.
North Fremantle by 2 goals

Scarborough v Trinity Aquinas @Millington Reserve

Scarborough started the season in grand fashion last weekend with a good win and will be looking to do exactly the same this weekend when they a face a side at risk of slipping to 0-2. TA’s will not wan to lose here but they have been in worse spots and made finals (like last season). They should come out firing, but will take a lot to stop the Scarborough juggernaut.
Scarborough by 3 goals

Wembley v Fremantle C.B.C @Pat Goodridge Reserve

Wembley will be looking to rebound after losing last weekend when they were up against an opponent they would have fancied beating. They would be counting on winning those games and won’t want to lose to many more of those games. Freo CBC had a good win last weekend and did what they needed to to start their season accordingly. I can’t see Wembley winning here
Fremantle C.B.C by 3 goals

Wanneroo v Kingsway @Wanneroo Showgrounds

An exciting rivalry resumes this weekend and MrM is excited to see what’s in store. Wanneroo faced an uphill battle last weekend, but will be looking to rebound when they return to home this weekend against a side who did win last weekend, but Wanneroo knowing there best is good enough. Kingsway managed a come from behind win last weekend, which is always a good way to start the season. Should be a good game here and plenty of spirit to be shown.
Wanneroo by 2 goals

Good luck to all this weekend.
To UnHolyTugBoat “the social media monitor” I hope this wasn’t cause for concern for you.

I wonder if the drunken loud mouthed ex president will make an appearance at the showgrounds this weekend - was a disgrace last year!

Haha Mr M, they should give u back the keys to the Facebook page, bring back some charisma & charm.

Good one Sneaky 101, you may have to be more specific, a fair few of them do float around.

You must have the wrong man UnHolyTugBoat, MrM has never been incharge of such social media platforms.
Looking forward to your summation of player points this weekend though, please enlighten MrM, thank you.

Another round completed with some close games, where as there could already be a divide between the top and the bottom of the ladder after 2 weeks.
Apologies MrM didn’t get to type up his summations yesterday; he was on a social media ban till he watched the latest episode of GoT.

MrM did get down to watch Wanneroo on Saturday though and was excited with what he saw in the Colts game, especially from the young Roos. MrM missed round 1, but he will miss no more as he looks to keep up his lucky streak, games won when MrM attends 1…it’s a good sign for all involved.

MrM did get chatting to a few of the Kingsway crowd though before the Reserves game and one thing is evident, either MrM was chatting to Mr. Sneaky101 or the unbeknown hatred to the aforementioned person earlier in this post runs deep at Kingsway, for reasons unknown. Can you confirm Sneaky 101?

The Reserves were in a tussle, but with the game never reaching great heights…apart from a little bit of biff, which is expected. MrM thinks you will find a higher grade of skirmishes in Reserves football than any other grade in Australian Rules football. It must be a write of passage when playing Reserves, your skill level or fitness isn’t good enough to play League, so you will throw your weight around to make up for it.
Either way Kingsway ran out winners, in a game that nearly put MrM to sleep.

In the League game Kingsway got out of the blocks well in the first quarter with Wanneroo unable to match it with them and the trend continued for majority of the game. Kingsway crowd did their best to try and lift the atmosphere, but MrM sat hand in hand with his bucket of hot chips and lamented the fact he had little to no vocal support there with him.
It was good to see Kingsway doing well with so many East Perth players too, MrM likes that, and finally their captain after having the ball on a string all afternoon, seems to have silenced the critics by achieving what many thought was impossible and getting a decent haircut.
With the Italian wedding season over, Wanneroo may get a few players back now to help steady the ship.
Looking forward to the Easter Break though…MrM cannot wait, a break is needed after this quick start

Mr M - i do believe we may have conversed at some stage however with so little support from the Wanneroo crowd (meaning lack of crowd in attendence), i wasn't 100% sure who was who - as for the person mentioned above, his performance at last years night fixture will remain seared into the scones of all from Kingsway who were there that night - I'm sure some of the locals were even embarrassed by his performance with the drivel that came out of his mouth. Anyway as for the game, Kingsway pretty much controlled it for most of the game and the result was a fair reflection of that, having said that i only recognised maybe 3 - 4 players from the last few years from Wanneroo and it looked like maybe a dozen or so from last years Colts side running around who will obviously take some time to adjust to the better standard required. Goodluck for the rest of the year and look forward to the return bout later in the year
