BUML2012-1 Round 4 Preview - You Just Need a Bandage

Have to do this quick today!

**Division 3 - Donald**

>>Mellow Yellow vs Slipped Discs - Annerley
Top of the table vs bottom of the table games are normally pretty simple to tip, but while it’s early days yet, but the new Division 3 is looking the tightest in the Monday night competition. Two games in, and Mellow Yellow is leading the competition, but that’s only following a very close win over the Griffith Go-Go’s last week, and a tie against the Griffith Oh Yeahs the week before. Meanwhile, the Slipped Discs are bottom of the table with a loss and a bye, but their goal difference is only -4. Still, experience will count in this game.
>Our Tip: Mellow Yellow by 7.

>>Griffith Oh Yeahs vs The Ultimate Yeast – Annerley
In their first game ever, the Yeast got a win last week (although we refuse to use the word Ultimate as an adjective) against the reluctant to travel Griffith Yee Hars. The Oh Yeahs meanwhile have had the stiffest start to the season, with a draw against Mellow Yellow and a one point loss to the Apostles last week. Assuming the Oh Yeahs can find Annerley fields for their first ever away game, we’ll have to go with the 12 months additional experience of the Griffith team.
>Our Tip: Griffith Oh Yeahs by 6.

>>Ultimate Apostles vs Griffith Yee Haws – Griffith
Back at Griffith, the Yee Hars get a chance to regather their forces and bring Jordiii and MoTO back into the fold, just in time to face Marcus’ Apostles (another adjective user – bah!), who are facing their third Griffith team in three weeks. Both teams feature a lot of newbies and are on the upward curve. Should be a close one.
>Our Tip: Apostles by 1.

>>Griffith Go-Go's vs QUTies - Griffith
The Go-Go’s are hurting after a tight loss to Mellow Yellow, so expect them to come out hard against a travel-fatigued QUTies, who’s assignments are starting to catch up with them, despite their on-field speed.
>Our Tip: Go-Go’s by 3.

**Division 1 - Goofy**

>>Drop Bears vs Poachers – Annerley
Well, the Drop Bears finally pick themselves a decent name for an Ultimate team. See, its self-depriicating (the ‘drop’ bit), has a slight pun (dropping, as well as drop bears), uses an obscure Aussie pop cultural phrase (drop bears), and of course, Dusty is a ‘bear’ in certain parlance, and of course, most of the team are quite cuddly. So, well done, as PUD sucked badly. The Poachers won’t care though.
>Our tip: Poachers by 2.

>>Dyspnoeics vs White Lantern – Easts
Are previewed in our first BUML team interview for the season.
>Our Tip: Dysponoeics by 3.

>>UQ Lovers vs The Ghost Who Walks – The Gap
The Ghost Who Walks is up against it this week, but maybe the Lovers are vulnerable, what with all the sausage selling, having to hitchhike to The Gap, and the subtle team-division mind games played by some.
>Our Tip: UQ Lovers by 4.

**Division 2 - Mickey**

>>Tsunami vs Discheads – Annerley
Discheads are undefeated and much more backed than the Tsunami if our Division 2 poll is anything to go by
>Our Tip: Discheads by 3.

>>What The Huck? vs Heroes – Easts
Well, this should be interesting. After an easy win over the Baby Chimis two weeks back, WTH? Were smashed by Bermuda Triangle on Monday. So warning to the Heroes – the Huckers ALWAYS come back hard after a loss. That said, the Heroes will also be looking to get their season back on track, after a surprising loss to the Iples.
>Our Tip: What the Huck? by 2

>>Bermuda Triangle vs Disc-iples – Easts
BUB poll and emotional favourites the Bermuda Triangles continue to revel in Division 2 with two wins on the trot, but the Dis-Iples surprised everyone last week in cleaning up the Heroes.
>Our Tip: Bermuda Triangle by 3.

>>Baby Chimis vs Agent Orange – The Gap[
Both teams are winless so far this season, although where the Baby Chimis have been having trouble scoring, Agent Orange have lost a couple of close ones against quality foes.
>Our Tip: Agent Orange by 6.

Let's hope the sun returns over the weekend.

The gap again!? Jesus we need UQ field 7 back.

The accusations of a rift within the team is blatant misinformation planted by enemies who seek to destroy UQ through nefarious means. Errbody jelly cos we raise mad dollars with fundraising barbecues.

You want a real scoop?? Chris Brown volunteered his services to barbecue bulk sausages without a second thought and seemed guilty throughout. Second thoughts on the dyspnoeics move?? Time will tell...

I think the rumours of a rift emanate from the fact the team list on AFDA has steadily declined in numbers. You'll be down to savage soon in trends continue.

I think you've confused guilt with pity Goose. As Dyspnoeics Captain I fully endorse people on the team helping out other, less fortunate and less good looking teams :P
