Round 1 is done dusted and not many things surprised MrM results wise, however a few interesting things in some of the auxiliary grades for B Grade, but we may touch on them later.
Should be another exciting week and then we can all rejoice at getting a well-earned break next week, Thanks P.F.L.
Speaking of getting a break did anyone see that a particular Perth man whom is involved with another “Club” could not get a game at his former Colts club and they rejected his application? Talk about catching a bad break, that’s despicable. Granted he is 54, but if you need players, take them I’d say. (PS if you haven’t seen, watch Wednesday Night episode on The West – Ben Harvey Up Late).
Into this week now with 5 fabulous games.
Melville v Ocean Ridge @ Melville Reserve
Both clubs coming off from tough losses last week and you would expect both to bounce back, especially in this game, where there may be the biggest differential in ground sizes in the P.F.L. Melville, what was last weeks performance, was it a case of fining your feet, or will be a long year for the Rams of Stock Road. Onion Ridge suffered a loss at the hands of a pretty good side, so you would hope they would bounce back, and I think they will here, this is a big game for both clubs.

Wanneroo v Wembley @Wanneroo Showgrounds
Something about football at the Showgrounds just feels right to MrM, crowd, a grand stand and parking around the oval, it’s a football lovers dream. Wanneroo will know Wembley won’t want to fall to 0-2 and Wanneroo will be looking for a good start to the season once more. Wanneroo were good last weekend, but Wembley were unlucky to lose. It’s the Gooden Cup here and the Battle of the V. I think Wanneroo at home, to get it done.

Whitford v Baldivis @MacDonald Reserve
Whitford were good last weekend and you just know depth is going to be there strong suit, minus dropping the 4ths and Colts having to forfeit, but good depth will hold them high in MrM’s eyes. Baldivis are very much the same, improved and will not make it easy for clubs along the way, I think they will be a surprise packet for some with their depth and quality of players involved. It will be a fascinating contest for both sides here, I think Baldivis may be able to get it done, just away from home, the crowd on the balcony 250 metres away a non-issue, they will do it.
Baldivis by 2 goals
Collegians v Swan Athletic @David Cruikshank Reserve
MrM is hearing worrying things about Collegians, and he does hope they are not true, not quite Colts Coaches related bad, but even having a Colts side is a struggle from what MrM heard, but we know this will chance dramatically. The League side though, were winners, and that is what matters most. They prevailed over a side that many fancied, even MrM did, so all hope is not lost but they come up against a Swan Ath side hungry for wins. Swan Ath will not want to get off to the kind of start they did last season, where they spent the rest of it chasing themselves. It will be a tough game and one they hope they could win, but I think at home inside the GT, the Collegians boys will be too classy.

Mt Lawley v Bullcreek Leeming @Inglewood Oval
Mt Lawley have a big homecoming here at Inglewood oval, and Infront of a raucous crowd am sure will be better off for it. Imagine having an oval and rooms where everyone isn’t looking into the sun, wow, instantly 10 times better in MrM eyes, just hope the few have their certificate of authentication to enter licensed premises to enjoy said rooms. As for Bullcreek, well it’s a battle now and we know they will be up for it, it is just a shame they face a fancied Mt Lawley side, but Bullcreek do have more former AFL players, so who is the real winner. I think Mt Lawley at home.

Good luck to all this weekend.
