The Rococo Noosa Tigers have crushed Mt Gravatt in Brisbane last Saturday to the tune of 15 goals to now set up a mouthwatering clash with defending Premiers Morningside in Brisbane this weekend. It was the engine brigade in the middle of the ground who set up the victory with ruckman Maccy Johnston giving first use of the ball to guns Conn, Gaul and Pettigrove who all racked up huge possession numbers along with impressive tackling counts. Best on ground Conn even hitting the scoreboard with four goals. Former Brisbane Lions star Daniel Rich returned from a six week break and played a starring role off half back whilst youngsters Rory Mc Kenzie, Caine Cates and second gamer Archie Shannon so impressive once again. Echuca champion Gus Byrne definitely makes a huge difference to the Tigers forward line with skipper Jono Freemsn again influential booting four goals in the victory.
It’s Morningside away this week which is just a must watch. The Tigers should see the return of left footed stars Nathan Horbury and Ben McNiece whilst in form utility Will Mczkenzie should be right to go also.

The reserves had a big win to notch up their second victory of the year with Cooper Langan the star of the show booting six majors. Paddy Monk continued his great form as did Jed Bullman and Rhys Tarling.
Brainy’s boys remain in top of the colts ladder after another convincing performance with Jai Mure, Wispa Brain, Will Cooke and Darcy Dinnage the best for the victors who now take on defending premiers Morningside in what would be well worth the early trip to have a look at. Game starts at 9.30am.
The Senior Women went down to Surfers on the Gold Coast by two goals in a very entertaining game of footy. The women have worked hard over the past week on their footy transition and in particular ways of scoring which was a great improvement last weekend. The girls play Palm Beach on the Gold Coast this weekend which is a very winnable game and I’m sure new coach Darren ‘Rocket’ McConnon would love to sing the Tigers sing by 6pm Saturday night.
