Well, once again, the residents at the stately Brisbane Ultimate Blog mansion are casting their bloodshot and filthy eyes (don’t ask) over the teams lists, and are please to bring you the absolutely necessary Halibut preview.
But with Wetnose having chosen to accept a mission currently on a top secret overseas sojourn, we thank frequent blog-commenter and all-round good guy Julz aboard to help with the tipping. And an extra special guest punter is joining us at the bottom too!
But let's start the previews!
Towns ‘Villains’
From: Mostly Townsville, plus the ‘Gong
Captain: Mike ‘Mike from Townsville’ Larson
Uniform: Navy and White
So Villainous heavy-weight Simon Urquhart has apparently represented Townsville at the last 11 Halibuts. This is probably all you really need to know about the team, and its prospects at Halibut 2010. They do have some new outfits purchased on JdR’s credit card, so he’d better be paid back before the hit the field, or he’ll be siccing the QUDA goons on them. Apparently Hugh Osborn has been practicing his ‘muttley’ laugh, but let's be clear, let’s be clear – with a name like ‘villains’ and Megan on the team, you can only be Chaotic Evil, ok? Day one features games against Fish-N-Discs, Team Canada and Slamtown, the latter of which are usually refered to by the Townsvillians as 'border-humping dodgie bros'.
JdR’s tip: 3rd - yeah, someone's got to talk them up besides themselves.
Julz's tip: 5th - middle of the road there - will win a few.
Seeding: 7th - obviously we think there's be a move up from there.
Slamtown Flatball Club
From: Gold Coast with a bit of Colombia via Moorooka
Captain: Mike ‘Eff Yeah’ Morgan
Uniform: White and Black
On the way to becoming one of the iconic clubs of Queensland Ultimate. Expect a few extra players to turn up out of the blue once Uni starts and Dr Phil starts cruising the strip, or perhaps more realistically once the locals work out what all this "afda rego site guff" is. The TD hasn't done them any favours by putting them up against Team Canada and then Team Hill Sprints so soon after their early morning surf, but they'll enjoy the chance to smack around some "redneck AJ town punks" from up north later in the day.
JdR’s tip: 9th – will be a little busy running the tournament and all. However, don’t be surprised if Stef tries to ‘pull a Stu’ and announce them as the winners at the speeches at the end.
Julz tip: 7th - tipped to munch up some Fish-N-Discs in a playoff
Seeding: 6th - looks a bit generous to us!
Now for our surprise guest tipper .... let us see who PAUL THE WORLD CUP OCTOPUS likes out of these two ....
Yes - its the Towns Villian's who have Paul's tip!

I would like to know more about Paul.
Gee this blog has gone down hill since Wettie went on his honeymoon.
Nah, just kidding. But I do miss BPL.
Slamtown is going to beat Townsville easily.
