BUML Preview Round 3

Div 3 – Akuila Uate

Slipped Discs v Mellow Yellow
Mellow Yellow are eyeing off the Div 3 title. You can tell already. Rolo has a gleam in his eye similar to when a pint of golden brew is poured with perfect head. Slipped Discs will be just the next step in yellow domination this week.

Griffith Go Yeahs v Dump and Burn
The Go Yeahs definitely have the best team name of the various Griffith teams. Easily yellable, even when drunk. Not that I’m saying that Griffith Ultimate promotes irresponsible drinking practices. At least not now that JDR The Encourager has left. Dump and Burn are still clearly finding their feet this season, but last week’s tight win will have done them the world of good.

Ultimate Apostles v Griffith Quties
The Apostles are the only team to crack that magic 17 mark in a game this season. That means they are clearly packing some serious heat in the offence department. After a round 1 bye the Quties had a tough 1 point loss last week. I think the Apostles free flowing offence will dominate this game.

Div 2 – Ashley Graham

Griffith A-Team v Tsunami
The imperiously named A-Team have been dominant this season, mercilessly crushing foes Vandal Savage style. I think this week will be another win for the cream of Griffith’s crop.

What The Huck? v Chimichangas
These 2 teams will be contenders this season. It should be a free flowing game with plenty of long shots. Geoff Grundy v Trevor Lovering will be a good contest.

Heroes v Agents
INTRA CLUB BATTLE! The only thing guaranteed from this game is that it will be tight, hard fought and well spirited. I’m going with Heroes simply because they got a solid win last week.

UQ Fluttershy v The Ghost Who Walks
I still don’t know who exactly makes up Fluttershy. It sure would be nice if someone at UQ got their act together with the team on AFDA…. I’m assuming the off field confusion will translate to their on field gameplay. For this reason I’m tipping the highly regimented and occasionally tall Ghost Who Walks.

Div 1 – Ben Barba

Bermuda Triangle v Cadillac
If there is one team that is going to feel the effects of the dreaded Halibut Hangover, it’s Cadillac. How they turn up tonight will determine the outcome of this tussle. Bermuda will definitely be fancying their chances of an upset. The question is whether their famed zone defence can put enough pressure on the Cadillac handlers.

Drop Bears v UQ AUG
This game is a grand final rematch from last season. UQ haven’t started well though and Drop Bears will be looking to bounce back after letting Dyspnoeics grab a comeback win last week. For the men, Pete Allen v Myles McCallum will be a key matchup, especially given Atlas scores a fantastic 87% on the Pete Allen Niceness Scale. On the ladies side, Megan Barnes v Giordana Rock will have a big bearing on the result, if not on an Abney Level.
Drop Bears by 15. Cos that’s how old Reece Stewart turns today right? HB Junior!

Dyspnoeics v Poachers
Dyspnoeics v Poachers is always an entertaining battle. Both teams have plenty of points in them and both have plenty of experience. It wouldn’t surprise me if both teams were feeling a bit of a Halibut Hangover as well. Expect plenty of big shots from Poachers to their long receivers and for Dyspnoeics to make their gains in the middle third.

I also use the Sonja Arthur Niceness Scale – accounts for outrageous, colourful clothing (most often Fitzroy op shop jumpers) and ability to withstand cold temperatures. PANS = α SANS (α = the "when two ridiculously nice people date each other" factor)
