BUML: The Catch Up Round

Well, in a change of pace I'm gonna preview all the games in the league (cause there is only 4 of them!)

Div. 1:

UQ Lovers vs. Ghost
Lovers have already got a finals spot, but have to win to make it sure it’s third. Well they see Ghost, who will be keen to chalk up a win - but being keen isn't always enough.

Lovers by 10 (depending if they actually try)

Drop Bears vs. White Lantern
Game of the League! If a game was gonna be a showcase, it'd be this one! Winner gets fourth and place in finals - where all the big guns hung out. I honestly don't know who is going to win, but I can say that the last time a Heroes team found itself in the position to get into the finals it pulled its finger out.

Heroes by 5.

Div. 2:
Baby Chimis vs. Discheads
To miss out on the finals DH would have to lose by 11. Not likely. DH are probably the form team in the club, and I'd back them to win against almost any team in the division. I tip to shutdown Chimis - straight up mark the unders (HARD!), when I picked up against them one time this season, the long game was shown to be left wanting.

DH by 6

What the Huck? Vs. Agents

Short straw Agents. We WTH are this bloggers pick to take out the whole damn thing this season, so I expect them to bring the fire (and hucks). Agents should keep their heads up and smile the whole way and run the 'play with a smile play'. I've found that Heroes BUML teams do better with that attitude.

WTH by 6.

BUML: Penultimate round!

Way back in the beginning of the season we had a league wide wash out on the very first week of competition, so we're replaying it! Awesome you may be thinking, but that depends on who you’re playing and what that game means for finals spots.

Div. 2:

Heroes vs. Discheads - Easts 2

Discheads look like the Club's best chance at a finals birth, currently at 4th - 2 points clear of Baby Chimis. However, Heroes would love a win. I hear they could be short of numbers, Easts definitely feels far away for me (I'm out west in Jindalee- that sounds like a me problem).

Best of luck for both teams, but a DH win.

Agents vs. Disc-iples - Gap 2

Yep, it’s a cellar dweller game - but sometimes they aren’t that bad. The last time these teams met was back in round 8, with the Agents coming out on top. But that was April. Hopefully Agents can get some flow on their unders and work some goals.

Agents to play themselves out of draft picks.

Div. 1:

White Lantern vs. Poachers - Annerley 3A

I don't know but I feel like we just played Poachers (but that's probably because we only played them 3 games ago). Well its crunch time, to put it bluntly. If we win and go into the finals, as a contender -seeing how we've got a 1:1 head to head with Lovers, two 15-all draws against Poachers and 3 loses to Dyspnoeics. We lose and it’s another battle royal between Drop Bears and White Lanterns for the fourth and final spot.

Another damn draw. (Seriously 2 15-all draws is nuts, go for 3 in a row I guess).

Heroes Invitational: The Invites are out!

The Heroes Club is putting on an Invitational Tournament, and its gonna be sweet.

The Invites were sent today, so check your inbox now! (or ask your captain/club head honcho).
Details are:
July 14th
$50 per person
EDIT: Fields: Griffith University, Nathan Campus (fields 1 and 2 - same ones as Northern Regionals)

I'll post extra information soon, so stay posted!

BUML Rd 14

Happy Birthday Queen, to honor you we will play ultimate. Hope you like your present, cause we all do! This week looks like another important week in terms of finals coming up.


Div1:
White Lantern vs Dyspnoeics

The White Lantern are just 1 win away from securing a finals place, without relying on points difference. Tonight we face up against the Deep Blue's. Not Carlton, but Dyspnoeics.  The brains trust have gathered and formulated a couple strats that will hopefully put us on top. Hopefully. Also the wet weather is lame.


White Lantern's might, none will escape my sight. 


Div2:
Tsunami vs Heroes
This will be a hard game for the Heroes. Tsunami haven't lost since they played Bermuda Triangle in May. Geez, you may be thinking - and rightly so. Heads up Heroes, confident cuts and clean offense will put you in good stead.

The Waves are big, down at the beach.


Baby Chimis vs Discheads
Chimis knocked off the Heroes last week, this week they'll be keen to do the same to the Discheads. I picked up against Baby Chimis last week and I saw many long throws go up, and then promptly get misread and fall to ground. Therefore, GO straight up and mark under. When that works, pressure the dump handler and then the game is yours.


Ok go! DH by a couple.


Bermuda Triangle vs Agents
Bermuda are undefeated, although they are classic div2 team - massive fence against teams that don't have enough handlers and cutters with good enough hands. Lame. Agents, unfortunately are also a classic div2 team.


BT by many.

BPL Semi Final Night

Thursday marks the start of the BPL finals series, with next week being the grand final! I highly recommend coming down and getting a feel for BPL if your looking to play in the Winter League, you could even come for a run around with me down on field 3 (or 5 depending on how you look at it).

The Heroes boys are gonna need all the support we can get, I'm looking at you WAGS - Laura Behrendorff, Jodie Dickson, Chantelle Smith, Myall's Amy, Laura Sonter, Jo Ashdown and Amy Enkelmann. But Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Strelan are excused,... gone honeymooning!

This week we have:

Dojo Mojo vs. Heroes Ultimate Club - Field 1
Slamtown Flatball Club vs. Morton Bay Buggers - Field 2

Game on at 7.30, like normal.

GAP SHS Washout

Straight from the horses mouth...

"We are sad to announce that the fields at the Gap SHS are waterlogged and therefore closed for BUML tonight.
The following games:
What The Huck v. Agents
Drop Bears v. White Lantern
will be rescheduled for a later date.

Regards,
C Fox
BUML "


So what does this mean for Agents and White Lantern?
It means get your freak on, and come along to East's to watch Discheads battle it out with the Baby Chimi's, or to Annerley to watch the Heroes try to hold back the on rushing Tsunami.

Or in true HUC style, head to archive for some beers, $10 burgers, team bonding and I even hear there is a Wii competition held on a monday night as well!


NexGen Ultimate

Check out these vids, if you've got some time on the ol' lunch break.

BUML Round 13 Preview

Div. 1:

White Lantern vs. Drop Bears
Right so there is only 3 weeks left till finals start, and White Lantern needs a win to secure a finals birth. Drop Bears could easily claim any reward for the best recruiters but have to win the rest of their games to progress. Just one win and the Lanterns progress. Therefore, the stage is set for a massive face off.

Key Players:
White Lanterns, classic Heroes: no strike player, all competent.
Drop Bears, Buzz and Pete Allen (according to afda anyways)

White Lantern, by 4

Other games:
Lovers vs. Poachers - Poachers by 4
Dyspnoeics vs. Ghost -Dyspnoeics by 10

Div. 2:

Baby Chimi vs. Heroes

All season we bloggers have been writing off these Baby Chimichangas, but as it stands they seem to be improving - given they are only 1 win off fifth placed Heroes. Heroes should watch themselves, and bring it and keep themselves in the chase for a top 4 place.

Key Players:
Heroes: Sean, Meagan, Brad and Nathaniel
Baby Chimi: Arrlann, Matt Stubbs

Heroes, by 5

Bermuda Triangle vs. Discheads
Bermuda as per usual, are undefeated in division 2 - wait for them to go back into div1 and that will change. Discheads are pushing hard to keep the tag of 4th on the ladder. I'm not sure Discheads haven’t the firepower to beat BT. My biggest tip, scoobers are awesome, and get chicks - they're also useful to throw over cups.

BT, by 5

What the Huck? Vs. Agents
WTH are solidly in the finals already, but how high up the ladder they finish is still up in the air. I'd imagine 2nd is likely, as for Agents I feel as though a playoff game for 5th is on the cards. So then, both teams have got something worth playing for. I reckon the easiest way to shut down WTH has to be learning early which of the boys you can poach off on and then go help the girls. Seemed to help in the grand final last season (Yeah Discheads)

WTH by 6

Tsunami vs. Disc-iples - Tsunami by 6

Div. 3:

I generally don't comment on Div3 but meh.

Ultimate Apostles vs. QUTies - UA by a couple
Mellow Yellow vs. Ultimate Yeast - Yellow by several
Go-Gos vs. FC - Go Gos by many.
Oh Yeahs vs. Slipped Discs - Oh Yeahs by many
