Right now it is a toss of the coin job to pick who could win this game of footy on saturday between the panthers and the hornets. The hornets are on a roll and are seeking their fourth win in a row for the first time in their history. Morningside are coming off a solid performance against arch rivals in southport and the confidence will start to grow in the panthers camp. The last time these 2 met, the hornets choked the life out of the panthers midfield and forward line to over run the panthers in the last quarter to win by 22 points. The hornets will have to produce a similar effort tomorrow to win this game I feel. The panthers midfield won the battle last week and Paul Shelton and David Lillico lead the charge. I feel Jeff Teale will go straight to Paul Shelton again like he did 2 weeks ago, Teale has been in fantastic touch for the hornets and has shut down 2 premier midfielders in the NEAFL in the last 2 weeks and the way he is going I expect him to keep up with good start. I wouldn't be surprised if Lillico went straight to Reece Toye who has been in fine touch again this year after a great season last year. He seems to be playing with plenty of freedom. The hornets defense has been stout and has been a brick wall at the best of times. Robbie Copeland has lead his chargers well down back and will more than likely get Kent Abey again and after he blanketed him in the last encounter can see why they play on him again. The ruck battle might just decide who wins this contest. The midfield for both side will need someone to feed them the footy all day long and whoever wins that battle might just win the game. At home the hornets will be hard to beat and I think they might just get over the line in a tight contest
