After every round of the South West Football League the Footy HQ team will reflect on what we've learned from the weekend's matches.
Here's our take on Round 14.
Somewhere in between our bickering over ladder positions and wondering who can make finals, we as a football community can forget that our beloved sport is not everything there is to life.
Unfortunately, we all received a sombre reminder of this when Donnybrook leader Chris Sheehan passed away on Saturday.
The club has felt a heavy loss at his passing and the way they have handled the tragedy has been first class. Shane Atherton really hit the nail on the head when he said "Donnybrook won't be the same without Chris Sheehan".
The show of support from the rest of the SWFL football community has been pleasing to see and we hope to see the Dons back on their feet soon and continuing their stellar form this season.
In a few years time, you might find Bailey Sanford and Luke Hutchins occupying positions in Busselton’s midfield.
But for now, we as spectators are quite content to see them terrorising backlines and slotting goals.
I’ve heaped plenty of praise on Hutchins this season but unfortunately he went down with an injury in Saturday night’s game against the Tigers.
But never fear, for Bailey Sanford is equally as entertaining to watch.
Sanford booted two goals in the match and made the most of some poor delivery.
We’re excited to see these youngsters take to the park in finals.
Coming off the bye, the Hawks were thoroughly spanked by Donnybrook.
We thought this might mean a dip in form and could possibly see them falter, but they showed against HBL on Saturday that they are far from done.
Augusta-Margaret River booted nine goals in total in their match against Donnybrook in round 13.
In round 14, they kicked eight straight in the first quarter.
Their blistering pace is dangerous, and with Hamish Shepheard patrolling the field they aren’t afraid to use the corridor.
I’m backing the Hawks to upset Carey Park this week and consolidate their place in the top five.
We always knew it would take the young Bulldogs almost half a season or thereabouts to adapt to league level football.
The physicality of games is a huge step-up from anything they faced before, but they are showing pleasing signs of improvement at the moment.
After competing well against Carey Park, the Bulldogs almost pulled off the upset of the year when they came close to toppling league leaders Eaton.
They also had another debutant show off his skill on the weekend with Gaetan Mwanangela booting a goal and earning a spot in the best players.
But the thing to like most about the Bulldogs is how they’ve handled their list re-build.
Even though their league side has struggled, they haven’t pillaged players from their colts and have allowed them to develop.
The challenge is to keep the talent together, but if they can, the Dogs will have some selection headaches in a couple of years.
Despite leading at half time and losing by 24 points, South Bunbury was a delight to watch on Saturday night.
Watching the game, you always had the feeling that Busselton would come home strong and eventually get over the top of the Tigers.
But South Bunbury did enough to keep doubt in the minds of spectators until the very end.
Chris Andrew was in hot form while Damon Bull, Leigh Conway and James Kirby played well.
It’s rare to see a side lose by four goals but be able to hold their heads high, and South Bunbury achieved that against the Magpies.
