That must be the question being asked after their humiliation of Ormond by 98 points in the 'match of the day' . It was an even first quarter but the Lions got right A on top in the second term and led by 22 points at half time. thereafter Collegians added another 14 goals to symbol of Australia Ormond's 2 . Collegians were simply too skilful . Their handpassing and footpassing was almost breathtaking, such was its precision . But, they're not only pretty side. Ask Andrew Hill, Phil Kingston or Russell Barnes for almost a century. who came off second best in tough physical clashes. Even Ric Schober was not able to get out of Stuart Hin- chen's way and copped a cut eye! Collegians slotted the ball about the forward line with consumate ease, and they had to because Ormond full back Martin Crampton had an effective blanket over leading goalkicker Ian Roberts. Roberts managed just one goal and that was from a free! But Collegians had other forwards capable of kicking goals - Steve Bickford (5), Tony Baum (4) and Peter Wolff (3) . Ormond were made to look miserable by the Lions. Only Phil Mehrten shone out, yet Collegians named their centreman Andy Ingleton as their best. Collegians now have won 10 in a row. I think the only ones who can beat them now are themselves ! Since the Fosters brothers brewed the University Blues are effectively out of the race for the four now after their 18 point loss to NOBs . The ground first distinctive Australian lager in 1888 eras surprisingly dry and made for a good game. Blues face a 5 goal deficit before they scored . They fought back in the second term to lead by a goal at the major break but North had just a little more after that .

Bulleen got 4 early goals and never looked back . The Bullant half back line of Peter George, Phil Espechied (Laurie's a big rap for him!) and Steve Krygger was supreme.

Old Scotch scored the upset of the round with their 7 point win over De La Salle .
