BUML 17-7 Preview: The Calm Before

Well, everyone’s focused on the 7th Lovefest this weekend, but serious Ultimate players know that the whole event was concocted several years ago to ensure that UQ was ready to continue its unbeaten run in BUML19’s Round 7 on Monday night.

It being the NRL and AFL Finals this weekend, plus the RWC starting, we’re going totally with form to help you all with your tipping this week.

Meanwhile, the big boys in the BPL are wondering why they don't get the same sort of coverage BUML does from the BUB. An easy answer would be to blame aL and Natman for cutting JdR from the UQ Lovers a few seasons ago. Another answer could just be that BUML is more interesting.

Division 1
Division 1 this week is very interesting, as random chance has produced a draw of two halves. The top four teams play each other, and the bottom four teams play each other. So that makes all matches very hard to pick.

Wuxi Finger Hold (4th) vs Dyspnoeics (2nd) – Annerley 3A
Wuxi - last six games – WWLDWL (Looking shaky)
Wuxi Player to Watch – Salvatore Colangelo
If Wuxi were a TV show – Home and Away
Dyspnoeics – last six games – WWWWLW (Bam baaam)
Dyspnoeics Player to Watch – Adam Baker
If Dyspnoeics were a TV show – The Flintstones
Our tip: Dyspnoeics by 2

Poachers (5th) vs The Ghost Who Walks (6th) – The Gap 1
Poachers last six games – LWLWLW (what a roller-coaster)
Poachers Player to Watch – Alison Baynes
If Poachers were a TV show – Being Human
The Ghost Who Walks - last six games – LLWLLL (a blip?)
The Ghost Who Walks Player to Watch – Luke Allen-Ankins
If The Ghost Who Walks was a TV show – Lois and Clark: The Adventures of Superman
Our tip: The Ghost Who Walks by 5

Heroes (8th) vs Bermuda Triangle (7th) – Griffith 1
Heroes – last six games – LLLLLL (flatline)
Heroes Player to Watch – Carl Behrendorff
If Heroes were a TV show: Sex and the City
Bermuda Triangle – last six games – LLLLWL (looking up)
Bermuda Triangle Player to Watch – Jack Allan
If Bermuda Triangle were a TV show: Lost
Our tip: Heroes by 1

Co-Mingled (3rd) vs UQ Ultimate Lovers (1st) – UQ7A
Co-Mingled – last six games –WLWDWW (on a roll)
Co-Mingled Player to Watch –Sonya Arthur
If Co-Mingled were a TV show – The Tudors
UQ Ultimate Lovers – last six games – WWWWWW (on a steamroller)
UQ Ultimate Lovers Player to Watch – Megan Barnes
If UQ Ultimate Lovers were a TV show – In the Night Garden
Our tip: UQ Ultimate Lovers by 3

Division 2
Meanwhile in Division 2, the fun continues, mostly because we’re out of time this week. Let’s make it quick.

QUTies vs Disc-iples – Annerley 3B
Jangles is reporting that Ultimate doesn’t hurt the next day any more. Obviously he’s doing it wrong.
Our tip: Disc-iples by 3.

Discheads vs What the Huck? – Annerley 5A
After losing to Agent Orange last week, I was totally surprised when the Discheads didn’t set fire to Gav’s wheelie bin after drinking all his beer.
Our tip: Discheads by 2.

Agent Orange vs Chimichangas – The Gap 2
Agent Orange are currently undefeated at their new fortress at The Gap. The Chimis have had a few soft games recently.
Our tip: AO by 3.

Griffith Go-Go’s vs Plastic Scourgery – Griffith 2
Well, all we can say is its JdR vs Dusty, and some s#%t’s gonna go down. The Go-Go’s have had a decent crack at some good teams this last two weeks before giving it away in the second half.
Our tip: Griffith Go-Go’s by 1.

Griffith Oh Yeahs vs Mellow Yellow – Griffith 3
The Rugby World Cup should soften the livers of Mellow Yellow this week, but the Oh Yeahs are pretty much Tonga.
Our tip: Mellow Yellow by 5.

Slipped Discs vs Tsunami – UQ7B
Tsunami got a bit of a scare last week before pulling out the zone and taking care of the Go-Go’s.
Our tip: Tsunami by 7.

Clearly this blogger hasn't seen Heroes BUML team play in a while. Player to watch is definitely Jesse Hampel, who allegedly received an out-of-the-blue phone call from a certain John Doe talent scout after his end zone performance against UQ.

I have been doing it wrong for years. Unfortunately for Disc-iples I need some cutting practice so time to have some fun and throw some bombs.

GWW should be the ghost who sits GWS that way funding might accidentally come their way.

Heroes will get no love from Carl, he left nothing in the tank at Lovefest so he'll be spent. His brother meanwhile looked as fresh as when he started the day, a shining example of youth over experience.

Dysp
Poachers
Heroes
Co-mingled

Dysp v Wuxi was a cracker, no team got more than 2 points ahead, ended in a draw (12 all I think).

Game ended with cake.

The Heroes V Triangle game was a cracker too... 14-10 in the end to Heroes but BT smashed us on D with their 2-3-2. It was hammers to the rescue that helped us get up.

WTH showcased their depth and athleticism (especially with their women) to smash an understrength Discheads by 6ish.
Discheads women did an incredible job to overcome B2B aches, gym classes and hangovers and play savage all night, getting a HUGE number of D's on the bigger, faster female Huckers. Unfortunately poor decision making (mostly from the men) and an inability to convert turnovers proved to be the downfall of the once first-placed Discheads.
Title race looking wide open!
