R4.2 ANZAC Day Round
Mavs-Tigers @ Mt Barker
Women: Mavettes couldn't quite get over the line last week and the Tigers felt the full heat of the top team. Tigeresses seem a little deeper than the Mavettes, but will need to tame that Madgen girl to secure the win. Mavs are close to a win, but not this week.
Men: Mavs were given a basketball lesson last week and the Tigers had a lesson from the Flames who banged up 3’s in the fourth to shoot out a win and steal the win from the Tigers like a dodgy pollie using cab rides. The team that learnt the most from last week’s lesson will get up tonight. Tigers should be that team.
North-Sturt @ Hillcrest
Women: North - Sturt clashes always bring out the best in both teams. Someone’s best won’t be good enough tonight with both teams having reasons to win, unfortunately, both have a lot of reasons to lose. I am thinking North at home, but Sturt don’t know how to lie down and die peacefully.
Men: Not even the power of the Sturt Sith may be enough to overcome the brut force of Norf. Sturt needed a bench of 16 last week to supress the Lions - a new Guinness World record. How many will they need to keep North at bay? North with all the answers, Sturt to wonder what the questions are.
Flames-Panthers @ Mars
Women: I am looking forward to the round when Webstats is working at Mars. Tonight, it’s probably best they’re not working. Panther burgers served flame grilled tonight.
Men: Norwood had the prowess of McGyver with a paperclip last round outscoring the Tigers in the last by 6 to win by 1. Panthers had a good win too knocking off the Westies boys who seem to be still in the starting blocks. This will actually be a lot better game than it appears on paper and could be a close one. The only difference might be the cunningness of Norwood who have shown that even when you think they’re done, you better put an extra kick in to make sure.
Lions-Warriors @ Stirplex
Women: The Warrior supporters would like me to tip the Woodies girls. Not this game.
Men: Lions with some soul searching this week with an agonising stumble at the final hurle after having Sturt on toast for most of the game. Warriors are higher than Jimi Hendrix after a 1 point win in OT over the Feagles. Lions-Warrior games always have great rivalry. I expect every rebound will be contested with prejudice. Warriors may enjoy the benefits of a hot shower after the game. There are no shower attendants at Starplex, so make sure you don’t slipper in the shower.
