Congrats to Easts.
But the refereeing in today's game was atrocious.

I take that back, ha congrats to your boys Chapo couldnt get out to Oldmac, score tells of a very close game any review
Timu unseen really. Lucas shut down the Souths midfield. Sunnybank defence 10-13 was impenetrableAs a bit of a fan of the older Lucas boys,out of interest, how did the younger Lucas go against Levi, the big Souths centre. Levi has been travelling well lately. Also how did Caleb Timu go?

Anyone have the intelligence on whether Pulver goes?
Tyrone has a season ending leg injury, Lacey going overseas. It's been the year of overseas contracts and injuries at the nest, but the other lads have stepped up big time. Finally a bit of depth at the club is paying off. No short term fixes and it's really helping.Watched the Bond v Norths game through the stream on Saturday and must admit that Cayden Neville was outstanding, not sure why he is not getting any love from the Reds. Was pretty brutal in defence and was a handful in attack. Can't understand how Bond lost that game, probably had it won a couple of times but kept letting Norths back in the game. Hard to believe Bond have only won one game considering the quality of their roster. The Eagles are making a bit of a habit of having a strong second half and running down teams. Where is Lacey and Tyrone for Norths?
Does anyone know who the coaches are for the President's teams Prems and Colts?

Filth as a neutral I have watched the game on the Reds website - I don't know whether I agree with your assessment of the refereeing - bit of sour grapes maybe?
After this weekend we only have 5 rounds remaining and the battle for that 4th spot is still wide open.
TEAM: R14; R15; R16; R17; R18; Top 3 Opp; 4-7 Opp; 8&9 Opp
4th:EASTS(29): Norths(H); Snbk(A); Uni(A); BYE; GPS(H) 3 0 1
5th:WESTS(23): Snbk(H); BYE; Bond(A); Bros(H); Norths(H) 1 1 2
6th:SOUTHS(23): GPS(A); Uni(H); Bros(A); Bond(A); BYE 2 1 1
7th:BROS(21)*: Bond(H); Norths(A); Souths(H); Wests(A) Snbk(H) 1 2 2
* Bros are the only team to have had their second bye at this stage
Brothers who are currently 7th cannot be written off because they could potentially get to 41 points with 5 x 4 point wins. Whereas Easts would need 3/4 x 4 point wins to get to 41 points and 3 of their remaining games are against the top 3 sides (Snbk, Uni & GPS). If Wests & Souths could secure 3 x 4 points wins they would get to 35 points which maybe enough to secure the 4th spot. However Wests play 1 top 3 side (Snbk) and Bros whereas Souths play GPS, Uni & Bros.
In my honest opinion the team that gets the 4th spot will be the one that can secure a top 3 scalp or two and in the case of Wests, Souths & Brothers they also have some head to head battles which will be crucial. It may come down to whoever secures a win in R18 goes through.
The Bulldogs will be happy to just be flying under the radar - I certainly haven't written them off as yet.
