Both teams won well last week, the Roos by 83 points and the Bays by 87 points.

These traditional rivals have played some absolute belters, literally, in the past and this week will be no different.

Both with a good supply of youngsters, hard men, pace and exceptional skills.

The only thing that could turn this into an unattractive match would be the weather!

I saw Weeroona Bay last week and could not believe there were 12 under 21 bodies on the park, such was the confidence and maturity of this fast moving, powerful unit.

I take nothing back when referring to the excitement of five-goal star Andrew Hoffman.

There isn't much difference in the way he can split matches open in five minutes to the way Mark Beaton used to.

Uncanny goal awareness and a freakish ability to keep his footing in a tight turn almost a carbon copy of "Beatle".

Roopena will have to watch for the in-form Bays forward set up of Carrigan, Verhaaf, Hoffman, Parker, Jones and Yendall.

They accounted for 17 of the 20 goals last week and their inaccuracy cost them a bit of percentage, scoring eight behinds in the final term.

The run of the Roos has been good thus far, especially out of the backlines.

Skipper Jeff Ewings doing plenty and being ably assisted by Bodinner, Ayliffe, Nielsen and Grund.

Scoring enough is likely to be the Roos problem.

Paul Zucker with five and Justin Crompton with four against North last week worked well, but the Bays have some very "convincing" backliners, who have ways of dissuading forwards from getting the loose ball.

The good old hip and shoulder as well as the sling tackle and gang tackle tends to stick in the mind and body for a while.

These two teams love to dish it out to one another and neither take a backward step.

Weeroona Bay on last week's effort though was just too awesome for me to go against them.

The Tigers by 31-40.
