ROUND 7 REVIEWS

Dromana Vs Francas

In a match which Francas needed to win to keep it's position on the top of the ladder, they came up against Dromana who had only posted 1 win prior to this game, and that is the way it stayed with Francas confortably beating Dromana in a very high scoring contest. Good signs for Dromana in this game that their forward line are capable of kicking high scores, but work in the back half will be needed to make them more competitive going down this week by 27 points. R. Francis was dominant again snagging 10 goals.

Mainland vs Barossa

In a game where the Kiss Of Death predicted that Mainland would upset Barossa after Barossa knocked off Faarknn Buutty last week, he was prooven right with the Marauders teaching the Panthers a lesson in football beating the over-confident Barossa by 9 points in front of a loud home crowd. Wayne Campbell was awesome at Full Forward kicking 8 goals straight with great help from the strong marking rover Chris Sluth who picked up 34 touches, 3 goals and 15 marks. This keeps Mainland in touch with the final 5 and brings Barossa back down to earth after a stunning win the week before.

Faarknn Buutty Vs The Wolves

After a shocking loss to Barossa Panthers last week, Faarknn were determined not to continue this shock loss of form, and the unlucky team the Faarknn powerhouse came up against were the talented Wolves lineup. Faarknn were just dominant all over the ground and in the end beat The Wolves by 37 points infront of their boystrous home crowd. Luke Power combined well with Glen Manton out of the middle for Faarknn picking up 42 and 33 touches respectivley and for the Wolves Leigh Colbert worked hard across the half back line getting a lot of the ball early. This keeps Faarknn in second position, and if they are able to get some consistensy into their play week after week, they will be very hard to beat for the rest of the season.

Pines Vs Manchester United

Before this game it looked as if it could be very tight bewteen these two strong outfits. Manchester are in the middle of a terrible form slump, and Pines seem to be peeking at this stage of the season, playing some football suited to a higher grade, so it looked to be a very good game. But it ended up being a blowout infront of the Pines fans with Pines emassing 39 goals and beating the hapless Red Devils by 80 points. Trent Hoppner was dominant out of the ruck collecting 59 touches, 3 goals and 21 marks in an outstanding Best-On-Ground performance. Colin Hayes and Simon Beaumont were also brilliant kicking 8 and 7 goals respectivley and both picking up 22 kicks. Pines have really been the suprise packet of Signature Division coming up to the half way mark of the season and seem to be on a real roll.

Lucifer Vs San Fransisco

In a game where all expected Lucifer to destroy the 49ers, no one was suprised with Lucifer handing out an 81 point thrashing of the disgraceful San Fransisco after coming off a strong win the previous week. Lucifer have now jumped into 3rd position on the ladder with 5 wins and 2 losses and look to be a real threat for the flag. Simon Pedlar was magnificent in the ruck for the Devils collecting 71 possesions and kicking a magnificent 4 goals. Matthew CLarke was deadly infront of goals kicking 10 goals straight through the big sticks.
