Sept-topia

Well September fever has hit here at the stately BUB Manor, forcing some of us to take some time off work to sleep it off. While Jdr has keep himself occupied with the care of small children, we felt it was still our duting to keep the masses informed of the upcoming clash between two titans of frisbee in Brisbane: The Moreton Bay Messy Buggers and the UQ Passion.

Messy Buggers

This team has been slightly below their best this season. They started out strongly and were on top of the table after six rounds with a record of 5-1, but suffered greatly during the Worlds period with four straight losses to finish the regular season 5-5.

Back at full strength, their strong showing last week against their brothers and minor premiers, Slippery Buggers, with a resounding victory of 15-7 should show that these boys are back to their best.

UQ Passion

The boys in pink have had an up and down year. They showed that they can be amazingly good, then showed that they can be disasterously bad. Their season includes a 15-9 loss to a 6-man Dojo team.

Last week, however, they dismantled the wasabi-smoking Dojo with a clinical 14-8 victory that showed that they are more than capable of taking care of a hammer dependant opposition.

Past results

Passion have had the better of the Messy boys so far this season. With a victory against an under strength Messy of 15-6 in round 5, then a victory over a near full strength Messy of 12-10 in round 10, Passion have had the wood over Messy in recent times. These two teams met in the Grand Final of last season also, with Messy Buggers prevailing 16-12.

Players to watch

Messy Buggers - Jordan Kravitz

While he may not be an American Woman, this all American, terrorist killing, BBQ cooking, tobacco smoking man will be a force during the GF. Newly arrived to the shores of Oz, people are only just starting to realise that this Seppo can play, and Passion will need to treat him accordingly.

Passion - John McNaughton

Cheeseburger, as he is unaffectionately known, missed the semi final due to an ankle injured sustained during the warm up to that game. Expect him to bring more strapping tape than Jangles brings excuses, but his ankle should not stop him from being the unstoppable force.

Messy Buggers - Mike Neild

The newly wed Mr Neild will try to be the immovable force that meets the unstoppable force of Cheeseburger. Expect these 2 to be matched up against each other all night, and expect Space Needle to chase and pull down throws more than any human ever to have walked the earth. EVER!

Passion - Nathan Litzow

Nate, as he likes to be called, is a key member of this whole team, especially on defence. With Passion likely to run a puppy fence for most of the game, expect to see Nato on the mark, trying to stop the momentum that the Messy handlers like to get going.
