BIG BAGS - thanks to Sherrin: 3 double-figure goal hauls over the weekend!
TON WATCH - it's tight at the top, with just a few goals separating our leaders, who are into the 60's... Is a ton still on the cards?
TIPS - Matty was doing so well in recent weeks that he may have got ahead of himself... However, Lachie is gaining on Cenchy as the U19 Premier tipping battle starts to heat up.
