In a week of mixed emotions, we found the right level of emotion and made a strong start going into half time comfortably in front. Our dominance continued in the third quarter before we allowed the Roys to peg back the margin a touch in the last quarter. The winning margin though was enough to propel us into the top-four for the first time this season. We had a very good week of stats with 18 of the team scoring 30+ DT. Up forward Mop, Chat Pile and Barrybran were excellent, in the middle cats_09, Brick Loosener, CatToTheFuture, StFly and ossie_21 were in full command while the defence was wonderfully led by BlueE, bone2468 and NSWCROW.

We hosted the second-placed Swamprats in a match of the round fixture that lived up to its name. The first quarter was an arm wrestle with the Swampies hitting quarter time with a 7 point lead. For the next two quarters, the Swamprats had the ascendancy but we were good enough to stay in touch. And in the last quarter, boy did we come back, with 4 of the last 5 goals of the match to equalise in the 23rd minute of the last which was the final score of the match. HotPiesWithSauce came off the bench and was clear BOG with 26 disposals and 3 goals. Other significant contributors include BlueE who was excellent at fullback, beez who topped 100 DT, GWS Goose with 21 disposals after being moved to the centre possie by the sim, NSWCROW off halfback with 20 touches and cats_09 continuing her immense season.

Off to Las Vegas we went seeking to continue our recent good form and knock off the Bears. Chat Pile got us off to a quick start with the opening goal before the quarter descended into an arm wrestle. The second quarter was where we made our move kicking five goals to one to head into half time 29 points in front. By the five minute mark of the third we'd extended our lead to 35 before one of our characteristic fades set in. The Bears banged on nine of the next eleven goals of the contest to be in front ten minutes into the last. Thankfully we came back to life and kicked the last three majors for an important win. Speaking of majors, Barrybran continued his form by kicking four to go with 16 disposals in a nice display. GWS Goose played a very nice game at ruck rover, with BlueE, Dory_77, Chat Pile and ossie_21 also prominent.

So, the Thursday night experiment did not work in our favour as we went down to the Old Boys. The margin in the end probably flatters us as we were outplayed by the ladder leaders for much of the game. We got as far behind as 31 points in the third quarter before we jolted to life and kicked 5 consecutive majors to actually lead! However, that lead lasted just 42 seconds as the Old Boys again put a gap on the scoreboard that we couldn't overcome. Mop, beez, ossie_21 and HotPiesWithSauce were prolific in the midfield each pulling in bulk stats. Also important were cats_09 who won the ruck battle and Supercheapgiants was efficient turning each of their four kicks into goals (a career best tally). Not the milestone match we wanted for Dory_77 however there isn't long until we can play for redemption on Monday.

Monday qooty was not what we wanted as we recorded consecutive losses for the first time since early in the season. The match was a close affair for the first three and half quarters with the lead changing hands a few times and the margin sitting in single digits. However, we finished awfully and copped a four goal loss. Brick Loosener had a fantastic day out and was by far our best. BlueE had an excellent day at fullback, while at the other end of the park, Supercheapgiants kicked three. Through the middle, bone2468, beez and Mop did their best in the circumstances. Five players scored 10 DT or less (myself included) so should be VERY fresh and ready to dominate next match.

For the first time in a couple of seasons, we have recorded three consecutive losses with this one undoubtedly the worst in our streak. The match was never close, with the Dragons having double the scoring shots in the 58 point loss. Despite the belting, a few of us still had quite good matches. StFly in game 350 was huge with 113DT, GWS Goose (98 DT), beez (23 disposals) and rye (22 disposals, 2 goals) all stood up well forward of centre with NSWCROW (22 disposals) and myself (17 disposals) doing our best in the D50. We really need to arrest this form slump rapidly as any loss from here and we're cactus!
