Last Week's Results
Southern Dragons 15.11.101 defeated Mod Squad 14.9.93 by 8 points
Fighting Furies 7.8.50 defeated by Mt Buller Demons 15.11.101 by 51 points
Two teams that sit on 2nd and 3rd on the ladder couldn't possibly have any more different form lines heading into Round 9's MOTR. The high flying Furies turned in arguably their worst performance of the season last week in slumping to a disappointing 51 point loss to the Demons. Their only shining light was their ruckman Equus, who easily dealt with the double team attempt. He won the ruck duties comprehensively, lead the Furies in disposals, and also kicked 2 goals of his own. The Furies will need another strong performance from him to give them the impetus at the centre, which will be a crucial area of the match.
The Dragons bounced back from a disappointing loss to the ladder-leading Wonders to beat the Mod Squad by 8 points in a close match. With neither side able to make a clear break the match came down to the death, with Big Kitty eventually kicking the sealer and sending the Dragons to 5-2 on the season. The Shagons will be looking towards SA Hawkette for a big game so there can be some drive provided from the centre. If Hawkette and the rest of the midfield team can neutralise the Furies advantage in the ruck, it will send the Dragons a long way to a crucial win, and the advantage in the race for a top 2 spot.
Prediction
Dragons by 23 points.
