Halibut Preview Step Five - Don't You Know That The Time is Right ...

Hello again, lovers of the flat fish, and welcome to part five of the Brisbane Ultimate Blog's 2010 Halibut preview!

With only two teams left to examine, let's get straight into the action!

John Doe

From: The Brisbane Morgue, plus the catecombs beneath Mayor Residence down at the Gold Coast
Captain: Stu "Pants is not really my nickname" Austin
Uniform: Dumpster chic apparently

Putting a male name in front of a female deer seems like a strange way to give your team an identity, but then again maybe its all about deception, as anyone acquainted with Abra will know. There are some who will view this team as the resurrected body of the respected Mind the Gap only with more Kaitlin and less T-Ross (the latter possibly a fatal error), but this is perhaps only because the talented oldies of the Brisbane Ultimate know how to attract a few young legs by offering them sweet hucks to chase down. And that's what to expect with this team, particularly as they are such hot favourites to win the event that Buzz probably won't bother getting the Halibut trophy out from the pool room. But will the expectation of success mean that everyone else brings their A-game and the Does may be run ragged by the time the finals come around.

JdR's Tip: 1st - its hard to tip against any team that includes Maylin and Molly
Julz's Tip: 1st - Julz didn't say this, but of course he'll tip his own team
Seeding: 1st - some big names on this team attracting the seeders attention

BUD (Byron Ultimate Disc)

From: Byron Bay, the Channon, Perth, Melbourne, Geraldton and Salisbury
Captain: kevin 'not badman' Stahlman
Uniform: Black and white hippie tye-die

Our final team to preview, and its one of the more schizophrenic. Apparently the Captain doesn't own a mobile phone and is organising the team via methods such as pigeon, telegraph and banging on drums, but the shirts are done. Any team that includes jd is not to be underestimated. Teams including jdr tend to defy estimation.

JdR's tip: 4th - don't want to over or under tip his own team
Julz's tip: 4th - yeah why not
Seeding: 5th - middle of the road, and possibly to be run over



And let us once again and for the final time, see what Paul the Octopus likes!


Well, there you have it.
