Oh shit, I knew something was amiss...

Welcome to the eighth year of occupation.

Glenelg looking to go back-to-back after an undefeated 2021. The Bays currently on an 18 game winning streak having last lost in round 12 2020. The Roosters are Clear Minor Premiership Material (tm) with 2 big wins, including a solid away victory over last years' runner up.

Hooray!

I was starting to think the Pure Ladder (TM) had gone the way of John Martins, Halls soft-drinks and Red Hens...

The Bays go on their merry way, but the Roosters are the early pacesetters.

Glenelg gets beaten for the first time in well over a year, and their conquerors fittingly take their place at the lead of the Pure Ladder (tm).

The Roosters go on their merry way. After this week's bye they'll play the Redlegs at home, and a win will see them start the season with a victory over every team. Conversely the Bloods get two chances to avoid going zip-7, starting with the Panthers this week.

Round 9 complete, and now all the dinkm teams have played each other once. The Roosters have put all other teams to the sword, while the Bloods are yet to pop their cherry. In fact, the Pure Ladder (tm) exhibits perfect equilibrium: Each team has beaten every team below it, and lost to every team above it. In this sense, West is doing just as well as North!

Only one game this week. Interesting that seven broadcast it, instead of the eastern-league game on at the same time, or the inconsequential scratch match at Richmond. Wonders will never cease.

The Doggies have pulled the Eagles back from the leading pack, now trailing by 2 games and percentage. With only 6 games remaining the sprint to the coveted Pure Minor Premiership (tm) is turning into a two horse race.

Glenelg the only real threat to the Roosters' grasp on the Pure Minor Premiership (tm), still in second place despite not having played a credible game in 3 weeks.

I trust it's a final four?

North now effectively 2 games clear on top (given percentage differences) with 2 rounds to go. Better prompt the fat chick to start practicing her arias, she'll be in full voice next week when the Roosters claim their maiden Pure Minor Premiership (tm). Meanwhile Westies have their first win over a dinkum team in one and a half seasons, sparing them the ignominy of a winless pure season.
