WELL, I’ve got a trip planned this week to see Peter Moore.
The local supermarket owner will see his shelves stripped of Windex and bug remover as I give the crystal ball a real polish after the hazy insights that came in predicting winners in Loddon Valley football last week.
Really thought it was the round for upsets - even some thought I had rocks in the head.
Turns out that apart from the boys off the leash from the Mitchell Park kennel in Pyramid Hill more than troubling Marong, I was way off beam.
Inglewood was disappointing and simply didn’t have the cattle to counter Bridgewater. Mitiamo, the young side it is, lacked the experience in the final minutes to lock out Maiden Gully.
Pyramid Hill sees itself 1-2 after three rounds and faces Bridgewater in what will be a real big one this Saturday.
I’m going for Pyramid. Just think its last four or five players picked for the seniors are better than the Mean Machine’s bottom handful.
And besides, the match is at the great graveyard of visiting sides, Mitchell Park.
In what is probably the best round of Loddon Valley football in more than a decade, we also have Bears Lagoon Serpentine taking on Marong, a side I thought may have dropped back a cog or two this season but the Panthers so far are proving me partially wrong. They did go down to Pyramid Hill in the seconds.
At home, Marong may just have the edge over Bears, likely to still be without bigman Nathan Twigg, who have shown  they’re good, real, good, at going inside 50.
Inglewood has another river appointment, this time against Newbridge. The winner will move into box position to have at least half a claim to finishing in fifth spot. My tip is the Maroons by less than a kick.
And in the battle of Prairie plains wanderers Calivil and Mitiamo, the experience of Calivil’s Ant Dennis and couple of others are likely to be the difference.
The grapevine says Calivil can also expect to have ruckman Justin Hynes in the side for the match that could well shape the bottom end fortunes on the ladder.
The ol’ Oracle could return to a perfect tipping record or end up with a big fat zero come.
