THE WEEK THAT WAS | Review of last weeks games<br />
Lauderdale Bombers made a statement in Round 8 of the Wrest Point State League. A big<br />
one at that.<br />
Coming off a 185 point win and packed with stars<br />
– you’d be forgiven if you thought Glenorchy was<br />
headed to Lauderdale Oval for a big win. But, the<br />
Bombers were magnificent. 14 goals to 8 after<br />
quarter time setting up the 30 point win – and<br />
putting the top 6 of the Wrest Point State League on<br />
notice, with percentage now the only thing keeping<br />
Lauderdale outside of the top half of the competition.<br />
Hobart will be regretting taking its foot off the pedal<br />
against North Hobart. After controlling the match<br />
across 4 quarters the game came down to the final<br />
minutes. Zeke Gardam won the match with a kick on<br />
goal less than 2 minutes before the final siren. The<br />
win was a crucial one for the Demons heading into<br />
the mid season break – with a huge match against<br />
Launceston at Windsor Park coming up in Round 9<br />
after the long weekend break.<br />
Clarence’s season continues to tick along nicely,<br />
after the Roos secured another big win – this time<br />
at the hands of Devonport. Mitch Williamson again<br />
showed why he’s become one of the recruits of the<br />
season kicking 6 goals – with Cameron Thurley<br />
AGAIN named best on ground. The Northern<br />
Magpies season continues to go from bad to<br />
worse – but in some positive news, will play South<br />
Launceston next round – the only team they have<br />
defeated this season.<br />
Speaking of South, the Bulldogs attempt to win a<br />
game continues to be mission impossible after they<br />
copped another hiding – Burnie thrashing the hosts<br />
at Youngtown. The Dockers continue to fly under<br />
the radar this season, with Brent Plant’s men sitting<br />
nicely in 4th, but, will be challenged by an up and<br />
coming Lauderdale outfit next round.<br />
And, who is going to beat Launceston? The Blues<br />
were once again tested, this time against North<br />
Launceston. But the boys from Windsor Park had<br />
all the answers, and are almost certain to finish this<br />
season on top of the table. North Launceston’s<br />
inconsistency continues to haunt them – and its<br />
biggest test of the season to date will come next<br />
round when they travel to the TCA Ground to meet<br />
Hobart.<br />
BURNING QUESTIONS:<br />
Is Lauderdale going to make its first TSL finals<br />
series? All the evidence suggests it might!<br />
Can South Launceston turn the tables on Devonport<br />
and get their first win for 2011?<br />
