BUML round 8

Open Ultimate has finished up for another year, which means its mixed season now baby! With many players now taking a well deserved break after nationals last week, and allowing themselves to rest for a couple weeks before refocusing on Mixed Nationals later this year in Perth. Expect several games to involve dominate players and energised players....

Division 1:

White Lantern vs Drop Bears.

Last time these teams meet was in round 3, and Drop Bears have found themselves some more depth with Buz joining the ranks. This frees up Pete Allen to cut and be a massive target downfield. With this addition even the once seemingly infallible Dyspnoeics have struggled, coming up with a 13 all draw.

It seems that Drop Bears have laid there claim as a real competitive division 1 force.

However, White Lantern does stand currently in third place on the ladder; and now also have several players with Nationals experience - renewing their vigor.
Past games mean nothing when rosters change.

Division 2:

Heroes vs Discheads.

WOOHOO! Intra Club Battle! I love these games.
Heroes should be well rested, or could that then mean rusty? Who knows?
Surprisingly these two teams haven't met yet this season. These teams are really quite even, 5th and 4th respectfully. Apparently that tips the scales slightly in favor of Discheads.
I expect a close game with several turns, either team with a potent offense will prevail in this game. Looking at you, Brad Dull, Luke Stark.

Agents vs Disc-iples

And the award for the worst team name goes to... (Hint: they wear black). Anyways despite the name, the Disc-iples haven't been playing good ultimate of late - opening the door for a Agent win. The once Orange fortress of the Gap SHS, has been under siege this season (thankfully the White Lanterns have restored some of the fortress' glory).

Get pumped Agents, this is a great opportunity!
