BOUNDARY BANTER Ben Waterworth: In the words of the Foo Fighters BWS, ‘I’ve got another confession to make’. Ben Warren-Smith: Here we go again. BW: Not sure if you’ll ever look at me the same way again. BWS: I’ve been struggling most of the season. BW: Watched Two Weeks’ Notice during the week. BWS: Isn’t that the quintessential chick fl ick? BW: Indeed. BWS: The only way you’ll get my approval is if you tell me you watched it at a lovely lady’s house because that was the only decent DVD she offered up. BW: Not quite! Had the day off university. Saw it sitting there in the storage cupboard. Thought to myself ‘don’t think I’ve watched this for a while’. Then it just happened. BWS: You are a disgrace to all men. BW: Had a good reason to watch it though. BWS: You better have. BW: Well there’s only two weeks until EFL fi nals. So watched the fi lm to remind myself of how much things can change in two weeks. BWS: Gosh you redheads are strange. BW: You love it. BWS: While we’re on topic though, think the top fi ve will change in Division 4 over the next two weeks? BW: Don’t think so. With Forest Hill losing and South Belgrave winning, it’s hard to see the Zebras squeezing back in. BWS: A month ago I still had faith they could give it a shake. Don’t things turn around quickly? BW: It does. And that’s the difference between them and the Saints in 2011. Think the latter will make it and could really cause an upset in the fi nals if they come to play. BWS: Division 3’s basically set in stone too. North Ringwood will stay fi rst and Templestowe will fi nish fourth. However Boronia and Doncaster will be battling it out for second over the next fortnight. BW: Who gets the double chance? BWS: Tell me who you think and I tell you if I agree. BW: Don’t think we’ll know until next weekend when the top four sides all play each other. BWS: Perfect answer Sauce. Get around Division 3 next Saturday. It’s going to be huge. BW: Reckon Division 2’s top four won’t change much either. Montrose has a six points and a heap of percentage over Donny East and Upper Gully. BWS: What’s happened to our Lions? BW: Not sure. Lost three of their past four. Basically thrown their fi nals chances away. BWS: Perhaps the only Division where anything is still possible is Division 1. BW: Plenty of cats thrown amongst the pigeons last weekend. BWS: You’re not wrong. East Burwood beat Knox by eight points in a super tight contest, while Balwyn went down at home – again – to Norwood. BW: Fat lady hasn’t quite made her presence felt in Division 1 yet. BWS: She may have by the end of today if the Rams lose to East Ringwood and the Tigers beat South Croydon. BW: Surely the Knox-Noble Park game is the pick of the round though. BWS: One of the most anticipated matches in the second half of the season, pace versus press – who will win it and take the psychological edge into fi nals? I think the Bulls narrowly, breaking Shaun Kelly’s balcony curse and ensuring we are invited back in the future. BW: Yes the Bulls at home should be too strong. Balwyn will be too good for the Doggies, Blackburn, Scoresby, East Ringwood over the Rams and Vermont to beat the Blues in what should be a very close game. BWS: It’s David Banfi eld’s last home game as coach and I agree the boys will get up. I just can’t seem to pick East Burwood at the right time this year, but with a fi nals berth still ajar think they will topple the Roos today. Agree on the rest mate, whets going on in Division 2? BW: Can’t wait for the Rowville-Lilydale game today. Hawks have won their past six games by 57 points, but the ‘Dales haven’t done too much wrong themselves. We’ll get a really good indication of where the Hawks are today, which will be that they are the real deal. Going for an upset here. BWS: I’d love to agree but I can’t, Rowville have been up for weeks now, and the might of Lilydale will be evident this afternoon. In other games Doncaster East have a tough task but must win, and it would seem Bayswater, Mooroolbark and Montrose should win comfortably. BW: Two divisions down and plenty of different tips, I like it. BWS: Settle down mate. Looking forward to watching Chirnside Park and Templestowe out at Kimberley Reserve today. The Panthers have claimed some big scalps on their home patch this year and expect this to be close. I’m tipping Tempy just, but wouldn’t be surprised of an upset. BW: If you’re out there fossil, it’s bound to be close and agree Tempy will get over the line. Boronia will be too good for the Tigers today, the usual suspects North Ringwood and Doncaster and Ringwood just over the Whitehorse Pioneers to round out my Division 3 tips. BWS: I told you too settle down mate, wouldn’t you know – all they same with only a fortnight left in the Division. BW: It’s pretty clear cut in Division 4 this week but a big opportunity exists for South Belgrave today when it takes on the in-form Ferntree Gully Eagles. Reckon the Saints might struggle down back. Yes they’ve got a ripper in Todd Burley there, but he can’t cover all of Muscat, Morris, Pierce and Topp by himself. Eagles for mine. BWS: That’s good enough to sell me, Kilsyth will be looking to fi nish on a high for their last home game against Silvan, and I like the Nunawading today to get up against Forest Hill as a bit of an upset. The Glen Waverley Hawks, Heathmont and The Basin should kick scores that may even rival your boys down at the Cattery! BW: Some days you just really love that drive down the Western Highway to Geelong. BWS: And the other days? BW: Mum drives. 3 THE EASTERN FOOTBALLER 2011
