Who Will Win Div 1?

Poachers

Back when this blogger wore Green on a Monday night, we had a saying: "Which Poachers?" We knew without question that Dan Blacklock would be there, but who would he have lassoed in for the fight that night, and how would they perform? The latter question has not been asked this season - Dan's herd having a clean record. The real question is - Can they be stopped?

Dyspnoeics

It comes as no surprise that a team as old as Mellow Yellow and Bermuda Triangle could get their shit together and dominate in the top division. With a little help from their friends, Mansauce & Baker have sauced all over most of the competition, only losing to half of the teams that still remain in the race.

Wuxi

Rumours have it that it is no longer fun-and-finger-holding-chinese-mind-games at Kaitlin's place. As minor premiers, there is a lot of expectation to follow up. Wuxi have had just one spill of the bleach in their performance this season and they are poised for another Grand Final birth.

Heroes

This team does not resemble the Super Heroes who entered the (arguably more difficult) Div 1 last season. Perhaps this is a good thing. The blooding of some young talent and the disturbing amount of Hampels in this team is no doubt part of the winning formula that Heroes have found this season. Heroes will be hoping that the stars align and they have Chaddy & Guarin when it counts.
