BUML Preview Round 6

Apologies for missing last week’s preview. I was wandering about the Mansion, doing some spring cleaning, when I came across a box of Wetnose’s leftover stuff. Apart from the expected assortment of mankinis and leather masks, I found a bag containing a pair of socks I think have been there since last time Cobras had a winning season. I made the mistake of inhaling near them and promptly got sick for a week and a half. Rest assured I’ve now had all the necessary shots and bought some heavy duty gas masks so I never miss a week again.

Div 1 – Matty Bowen

Poachers v Cadillac

Div 1 has done a full circle and we are back to the same matchups as Round 1. Cadillac got the lollies in that contest 15-11. The key to this will be how Cadillac bounce back after being flogged by Drop Bears last week.

Drop Bears v Bermuda Triangle

Bermuda Triangle are certainly acquitting themselves well so far this season. Beating UQ the other week would have boosted their confidence no end. Drop Bears should be too strong tonight however. Pete Allen.

Dyspnoeics v UQ AUG

I haven’t tipped Dyspnoeics yet this season. They are an unreliable bunch, prone to bouts of whimsy and mentioning the NQ Cowboys too often. UQ AUG on the other hand, have been extremely predictable this season. Before last round their top score was a paltry 6. It’s not too late for UQ to make the finals, but they need to start winning tonight. My tip is throw it to Atlas. That guy is a beast.

Div 2 – Ash Graham

Griffith A-Team v Chimichangas

On paper this should be very even. Both teams for and against is very close and they have the same spirit score. I think Chimichangas have a bit more momentum though. The real question is who will wear red and who will wear their alternate?

Tsunami v What The Huck?

We know Tsunami can score points, but can they defend? Cutting off the bombs thrown by TJ and Trevor is where Tsunami need to focus. The girls are the key to this stoush.

Agents v UQ Fluttershy

This is the contest both teams would be looking forward to. Someone is (almost) guaranteed to get their first win of the season! With both teams saturated with beginners, it’ll be up to the leaders to take command of their troops and decide the outcome. Whichever team has more patience with the disc will win.

A draw.

Heroes v The Ghost Who Walks

It’d be easy to talk about Chris Brown v Jangles, but no-one wants to read that. Ever. What the highlight for me will be is the clash of purple vs green. The spirit circle at the end of the game is going to be a fashionista’s nightmare. Ghost will be the ones talking second.

Div 3 – Brent Tate

Mellow Yellow v Dump and Burn

I get the feeling that Dump and Burn are primed for an upset here. They’ll be full of confidence and verve after last week. Mellow Yellow had a slip last week and may be down on confidence.

Griffith Go Yeahs v Ultimate Apostles

The Go Yeahs are no doubt keen to emerge from the shadow of the A-Team and claim the mantle as Griffith’s top team, similar to how the Cowboys have emerged from the shadows of the Broncos. This week will be the perfect opportunity. The Apostles are undefeated and early season favourites. This should be a close one though as the Go Yeahs can score plenty of points. I smell an upset.

Slipped Discs v Griffith Aunties

5 v 6. Similar to Agents and Fluttershy in Div 2, this game will come down to who controls the disc better. Both teams haven’t been really fond of scoring points this season, but this will be an excellent opportunity to rack up a good score. I’m tipping Slipped Discs as I understand that pun better than the Griffith name.
