00:00 Welcome to NTFA Premier Footy Tips round 9. I'm sports journalist Brian Allen from The Examiner.
00:06 First up we're looking at the Longford v Hillwood Blockbuster and I think that Longford will win
00:12 this by 13 points against the Sharks at Hillwood. The Tigers will be desperate to bounce back after
00:17 losing to Bridge North at home last week by 21 points. Meanwhile Hillwood will be better for
00:23 the bye but they've lost their past two games. They've been a bit of under-manned with injuries
00:28 and that appears to be hurting them against the top sides. In the next game we've got South
00:33 Launceston against Dallorane and I think the Bulldogs will win this by 60 points at Dallorane.
00:38 South thrashed Georgetown last week who had been travelling pretty well with two wins but yeah just
00:45 the under-fitted Bulldogs have won seven in a row and it's hard to see the bottom sides getting near
00:52 them. In the next game we've got Bridge North hosting Scottsdale and I think the Parrots will win by 70
00:58 points. They'll certainly have their tails up after upsetting Longford away by 21 points last week and
01:06 they should comfortably account for the Magpies who virtually beat by 91 points in round eight.
01:13 And then in arguably the biggest game of the round we have the Aboriginal match on Sunday
01:21 and I think Rotorua will win by 25 points against Bracknell at the game which is at Rotorua.
01:29 The Tigers trounced Scottsdale to bounce back from their four-point loss to Longford
01:33 on the weekend while sixth-placed Bracknell have accounted for the lower sides than them this
01:39 season but they have struggled across four quarters against the top teams
01:44 and Georgetown have the bye this weekend. I hope you enjoy your football.
