IF: Hamish Shepheard continues his stellar form (which we fully expect he will)...
THEN: ...he will be rueing his round five suspension when he tops the Hayward medal count.
IF: Bunbury’s senior players can stand up in every game like they did against the Dons...
THEN: ...they may even get off the bottom of the ladder eventually; top efforts from Codey Hay, Liam McGuire, Kane Bumann, Brad Blake and Kurt Tropiano.
IF: The third quarter truly is the “premiership quarter”...
THEN: ...it is fair to say Busselton may hoist a flag at the end of this year – their third quarters win games for them.
IF: You can absolutely dominate the competition’s most in-form side in the fourth quarter...
THEN: ...why did you let them dominate you in the third?
IF: There is a big call we are willing to make...
THEN: ...it is that Jayce Fontana is the most impressive young forward in the league.
IF: Donnybrook was yet to feel the absence of big man Jeff Smith...
THEN: ...they’re feeling it now - we don't think he would have let them lose against Bunbury.
IF: You think it’s time to go into crisis mode after the South Bunbury loss...
THEN: ...relax because you are still positioned well for a deep run in the finals – even your near-perfect 2013 side dropped at least one game to an underdog.
IF: Harvey can take one of the premier defenders of the competition (Brett Lofthouse) out of the backline and have him kicking goals...
THEN: ...they have more flexibility than we would have thought, making them far more dangerous.
IF: There was a bright spot in the Lions’ heavy loss to the Bulls...
THEN: ...it was the standout performance from Zac Piper – good to see a young player stand up despite his team suffering a belting.
IF: The Tigers are still celebrating their upset win over Eaton...
THEN: ...no one can blame them – there is nothing like sweet, unexpected revenge against the side that toppled you in a grand final to spark a party.
