North Melbourne 8 4 3 1 746 748 99 18 Whilst the top league had the weekend off First Division were playing as per normal. Out at Bensons Lane, the Collingwood Magpies 8 4 4 0 866 811 106 16 Mac Uni Warriors beat the Jets in a decent contest; at Fairfax Reserve in Camden, the Bats beat the Cats; out at Greygums Oval the Wolves continued on their impressive march and the Sharks accounted for the Goannas out Brisbane Lions 8 4 4 0 825 790 104 16 at Gwaley Oval. This weeks blockbuster has to be the UTS Bats taking on the Manly–Warringah Wolves out at St Kilda Saints 8 4 4 0 745 774 96 16 Trumper Oval in Paddington starting from 2pm. See below for my First Division Tips. Port Adelaide Power 8 3 5 0 827 836 98 12 Out at the Ern this week, second placed Pennant Hills take on ninth placed Balmain. Two weeks ago the Dockers Carlton Blues 8 3 5 0 794 850 93 12 won their first game for a very long time and are now starting to be treated as a serious side that is no longer an Richmond Tigers 8 2 5 1 810 846 95 10 easy-beat. The Demons have always been nestled at the top of the ladder and with the likes of Wright and Essendon Bombers 8 2 6 0 735 1057 69 8 Richardson playing well lately the Demons should win, though Balmain’s guns such as Davis, Napper and Clarke Fremantle Dockers 8 1 7 0 725 843 86 4 could well surprise. Pennant Hills by 40 points. LADDER AFL

West Coast Eagles 8 1 7 0 602 865 69 4 The boys from Campbelltown will be hosting North Shore out at Monarch Oval. A lot of water has flowed under Melbourne Demons 8 1 7 0 623 1055 59 4 the bridge since the Bombers knocked the Blues out of last year’s finals series, though I’m sure some of the exist- ing Blues will remember it. North Shore, with only one win to their name, have struggled but have had some shining lights over the last six weeks such as Strudwick, Nicks and Murphy to be positive about. This weekend the Collingwood 16.7.103 def. St. Kilda 14.10.94 Campbelltown crew should be a touch better at home. Campbelltown by 10 points. Hawthorn 17.15.117 def. Port Adelaide 15.12.102 Geelong 14.15.99 def. Richmond 10.9.69 One game to watch this weekend will be St.George Crows taking on Western Suburbs Magpies out at Olds Park. Brisbane 18.17.125 def. Carlton 12.20.92 Both clubs have had a great start to the year sitting at four wins and two losses. The Crows last week disposed of North Melbourne 13.11.89 def. West Coast 12.11.83 the Blues with Goolagong bagging four and Declan Donohue amongst the best, whilst the Magpies on the other Adelaide 22.18.150 def. Melbourne 11.8.74 hand had a gritty win against the students at Picken Oval with Matty Eurell kicking three. This contest will be a Sydney Swans 21.17.143 def. Essendon 7.10.52 close one, with the Crows just getting over the line. St George by 4 points. LAST WEEK WEEK LAST Western Bulldogs 17.12.114 def. Fremantle 17.9.111 The battle of the University sides takes place on the picturesque Village Green Oval on Saturday with this great Friday May 23 contest also coinciding with the Bulldogs Ladies Day. This will be a day not to be missed as both clubs have had Collingwood v Geelong at MCG brilliant starts to the year and the dogs are coming off a 150 point win with Abbott and Collett on fire, whilst

Saturday May 24 DESK THE BEHIND Sydney Uni have to pick themselves up after two consecutive losses - can Egan and Lee fire for the Students? I’m Carlton v Fremantle at Telstra Dome sure they will but in the end UNSW will be too strong. UNSW/ES by 8 points . Port Adelaide v Sydney at AAMI Stadium Essendon v Richmond at MCG North Dalton Park this Saturday night will see a fired up Wollongong Lions take on an equally keen East Coast West Coast v Adelaide at Subiaco Oval Eagles - both clubs aren’t where they would like to be on the ladder and both will be hoping for a good win on the Sunday May 25 weekend. The Eagles will win this one, though it’ll be tight. East Coast Eagles by 12 points. Brisbane v St Kilda at Gabba Melbourne v Hawthorn at MCG Sydney AFL First Division Tips:
