BUML Week 7

We're into the second half of the season, and things are starting to look interesting in the all-comers Monday night mixed league. The cooler temperatures of recent weeks have seen a few teams change their looks (either because some weaklings haven't been showing up or because team uniforms now have the 'hoodie' look) making tipping difficult, so lets just check out a couple of matches we're calling Games of the Round and draw your attention to our Player to Watch.

Game of the Round 1: All the old folks sitting in the lawn bowls club house next to Annerley Field 4 will be wondering what all that racket is and then trying to chase the nude Andy's off their lawns, when the Dyspnoeics take on their arch-foes Mellow Yellow tonight. This will be a real cracker with both teams coming off wins last week. Significantly, while both teams have long term reputations as the 'also-rans' of Monday night Ultimate, this season sees them both well-positioned and continuing to come good and regular. If Jon's flu has been shaken off and Rob has had enough to drink over the weekend that he feels he need to punish his body tonight, then we're tipping the Mellies to take it out.

Game of the Round 2: Speaking of arch-foes, the QUT RiverRats take on the UQ Lovers in the battle of the studs, I mean, students. The Lovers slammed the much-fancied (on and off the field) Chimichangas last week, while the Rats turned the zoological world upside-down with their defeat of the Cougars. We here at Brisbane Ultimate Blog have a bit of a soft spot for the Runts, I mean Rats, and since UQ aren't in our good books at the moment (for once!), we'll have to tip the Rats.

Player to Watch: So if you're down checking out the games tonight, you'll want to keep an eye out for Matt Eastburn of Team 12. Soon to be of the married kind, Matt is currently leading Dojo Mojo's MVP polling and is best known for ... well, a lot of things. I wouldn't want to spoil the surprises or mystique. But if you're near Annerley Field 3, make sure you tell him you're checking him out - he might shake some booty or show you how to ".... STOP! .... Hammer time ... woo-oo-ooooo-ooo ..."
