‘The Weak shall inherit the earth’ is a well known saying and though it may be early to proclaim a complete renovation of the 2010 Latrobe Team Premiership, there is a sniff of maybe something changing in the wind. On the back of the performances from 3 of their draft choices, F Troop, after a shattering summer wallowing in the fact that they were the 2009 wooden spooner’s, performed the very first miracle of 2010 overcoming 2 time defending Premiers The Buglers who were showing distinct signs of a double premiership hangover. Maybe it will be the second draft that shall produce a more significant shake up of the Premiership table in 2010 after the supposed super draft of 2009 failed to deliver anything but more of the same. No doubt half of the bottom sides from last year’s premiership have that belief already after achieving the sweet taste of victory in the opening round.
F Troop will enter the second round against a bruised All Night Chemist side excited about the season ahead. The Chemists however, who some say talk so much they are always playing down wind, fell to arch rivals the Wood Ducks and are desperate for a win. The Brothers in Arms await them in Round 3 and a 0 – 3 start to the season may mean that the sounds of silence will start to permeate into the post mortems of this team.
Those 3rd round opponents the Brothers in Arms, are also facing up this week after a first up loss. One of the leagues more motivating Captains DAVID FAIRLESS will need all his senses charged as he seeks to lift his team against the great 2 time premiers The Buglers. It would seem that The Brothers in Arms still don’t like the spotlight, faltering twice in the past 2 finals series after strong seasons. They have again shied away at the rumours of early Premiership favouritism. They will not have to worry about the headlines of success for too long as if they are dealt another defeat by the still great Buglers side this weekend, their odds of winning will drift dramatically and the warming heat from that Premiership spotlight will quickly cool like an overcast day on a cool autumn evening.
The big match this week will pit the previous 2 Grand final losers, The Gummers and Wally World against each other after they both posted big first round victories. Wally World could not have been more impressive racking up a mountain of points against an In Time Dynasty side that appears to be losing its way. Their 1st round record 188 points inflicted an 18 point demolition to the distraught Dynasty side that is slowly splitting apart like a discarded teddy bear that has lost the undying love of a previously affectionate child. The Dynasty meet the aptly named Vultures in Round 2 who will be ready to pick at what stuffing is left and sadly, it is looking as though it will be a very small meal.
Wally World does have their ‘mojo’ back and look very keen to continue against the star laden Gummers side. The Gummers sit second behind Wally World on the table having also loaded up with percentage points after new player DAVID MARKS lit it up with a Round high 42 points as they dispatched the Cup Hunters who were simply awful. The song that was to inspire them is still a beauty; however it is the ability of this team to sing in unity that had questions being asked. Just like the Dynasty, there was a change of captain and things have not gelled as quickly as they would like. It was a karaoke night gone sour for the Cup Hunters first trip to the microphone, hopefully for them and all who can hear them, the sound they produce starts to improve very quickly.
So Round 2 gives us the Top 2 sides in battle. It is early in the season for a blockbuster, however it will be a match for all to watch with interest as Wally World and The Gummers look to be true contenders in 2010 and one of them will steal a march on the other and put themselves surely on the top of the 2010 Latrobe Golf Club Premiership Table this week.
