BUML17-5 Preview: The Best Defence

We’ve gotta be quick this week, but the main bit of excitement (aside from Craig B of course) is the start of the next phase of Ultimate’s world domination plan – BUML gets some real estate at The Gap. It’s a slight embuggerance that this has happened part of the way into the season, but all can agree that we need to take every piece of turf we can get our hands on so we can keep growing as easily and painlessly as possible. ONWARDS! Anyway, onto the draw, and apologies if we don’t have much to say on some games this week – we’re flat out like a lizard drinking that’s been run over by a mack truck.

Division 1

Co-Mingled vs Poachers – Annerley 3A
Our tip: Co-Mingled by 5

Bermuda Triangle vs The Ghost Who Walks – The Gap 1
Well, this is a big fat arse of a match, appropriate to open a new avenue for sport, and with the left cheek taking on the right cheek. Hopefully everyone knows that the purple clad GWW outfit emerged butterfly-style from the Bermudan womb at the start of the year, before the parent was nudged into Div 1 and the child grew to dominate Div 2. And now they are face to face. It’ll be tight and emotional.
Our tip: Ghost Who Walks by 2.

Wuxi Finger Hold vs Heroes – Griffith 1
Our tip: Wuxi by 7.

UQ vs Dyspnoeics – UQ 1
Yep, there’s four Division 1 games, and they’re spread equally across the four BUML venues. This will be a great game although both sides will need to keep a tight rein on themselves to win it.
Our tip: Dyspnoeics by 2.

Division 2

Discheads vs Slipped Discs – Annerley 3B
Discy.
Our tip: Discheads by 10.

Plastic Scourgery vs Mellow Yellow – Annerley 5A
Old school Ultimate, marinated in a sauce of spirit, peace and love. And hucking, lots of that stuff. Sport at its very best.
Our tip: Mellow Yellow by 2.

Disc-Iples vs Tsunami – The Gap 2
Some are tipping these two teams as likely to meet in this season’s Division 2 final. Big call to make this early, but on form, its not a bad call. Playing at The unfamiliar Gap may add to the challenge for both teams.
Our tip: Tsunami by 1.

Griffith Oh Yeahs vs Agent Orange – Griffith 2
Our tip: Agent Orange by 7.

Griffith Go-Go’s vs What the Huck? – Griffith 3.
The Go-Go’s have recruited some more speed and good looks this season, but will it be enough to keep up with WTH? We think so.
Our tip: Griffith Go-Go’s by 2.

QUTies vs Chimichangas – Annerley 3B
Two former powerhouses who seem to be underperforming a bit this season. Maybe this game will provide the spark.
Our tip: QUTies by 4.
