Sliding Doors: South West Football League | May 27

THEN: You’ve made the understatement of the year. Shepheard would have been very helpful against the Panthers last week.

IF: There was ever a stage for Bunbury to claim their first win.

THEN: It is this week, in a WA Day Derby, against bitter rivals South Bunbury who are also struggling.

IF: You have 10 more scoring shots than your opponent and still only win by 10 points.

THEN: You’re very lucky you won at all. Busselton came very close to rueing some errant kicking in round six.

IF: You kick nine goals in a match and still don’t get the game ball.

THEN: The bloke who did is one hell of a player. Sorry Marto, but Graham earned that one.

IF: There’s one thing about our Landmark Fantasy polls that’s stunned me.

THEN: It is that Corey Griggs is smashing the midfield votes. Perhaps the Collie boys are getting around their vice captain?

IF: You think Donnybrook is now the premiership favourite.

THEN: Think again. We are mightily impressed by the Dons’ past fortnight, but we haven’t forgotten their loss to AMR.

IF: You think Eaton is still a genuine threat to claim a premiership this season.

THEN: You’re on a different wavelength to us. We aren’t sold on the 2015 Boomers at all.

IF: There is a feel good story in the league so early into the season.

THEN: It is the Bulls. They’ve already won as many games as they did in total last year.

IF: The Lions thought their thrilling round five loss to AMR was painful.

THEN: It was matched by their 10 point defeat to Busselton, and this week could also be painful with Carey Park up and about.

IF: South Bunbury drops their game to the Bulldogs.

THEN: They will have lost to two winless sides in as many weeks, and alarm bells will be ringing at Hands Oval.
