PREVIEW
A struggling North Launceston had a much needed win last week against cross town rival South Launceston belting them by 67-points. The Dees were playing the better for most of the game last week, the fell short against the reigning premiers by 17 points at North Hobart Oval.
The Bombers have had their troubles maintaining any sort of form over the years, and this season has been the same again. Thankfully for them they came up against a wounded South Launceston side, and small forward Darren Crawford booted 6 goals and lead the Bombers over the line.
For the Demons Caden Wilson, and Michael Fisher booted 10 goals between them, Caden Wilson was looking unstoppable up forward, and Fisher was ready to do whatever Wilson was doing. Zane Murphy is up against his old side again, he's played against Burnie already this season, and now he has the Bombers, he has been at his best again this season but he is now looking to continue it here.
Praciak is showing no signs of age either this season, both sides met in the finals last season and the Dees managed to get the better of the Bombers, home field advantage might see the Bombers get the better of the Dees, but who knows? The Bombers have been unpredictable. A bad case of Jackyl and Hyde for the Bombers, one week they are a champion side that could beat anyone, the next week they are getting hammered.

PLAYERS TO WATCH
Darren Crawford (North Launceston) – Clearly the key this weekend for the Bombers if they are going to win this game, they are needing him to stand up and boot another bag of goals.
Caden Wilson (North Hobart) – A dominant display by him and Michael Fisher last weekend, he booted 5, and Fisher booted 5, he and Zane Murphy in the middle could prove too much for the Bombers.
QUESTION MARKS
Caden Wilson and Michael Fisher booted 10 goals between them last weekend, they were looking unstoppable, but they aren't a permanent fixture up forward, it begs the question, why are they not up forward with Paul Allison?
North Launceston, are they back in form, or are they going to show their ugly side yet again this season? Will the Bombers ever be consistent?
WILL WIN AND WHY
This game will give everyone a good indication of where both sides are at, does North Launceston have enough players to cover the Demons superstars? Or are the Demons going to fall down when it comes to travelling North? With Zane Murphy in the side he has a lot of experience at Aurora, a lot of knowledge to pass along on his former side as well, maybe not a game plan but how some play at least.
North Hobart minus their fadeout late against the Roos have been going well in parts this season, they jumped the then undefeated Magpies at KGV Oval with Ken Hall proving to be a tough ask for the Magpies. Last week Wilson and Fisher popped up, as well as Street showing he still has the courage and the ability to help the Demons to a victory.
The Demons should see off the Bombers, and battle the Roos for 4th spot.
PREDICTION
North Hobart 20-points
