They also laid 39 more tackles than Bond Uni did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The QAFLW is now in the final month of its home and away season, so the race for the finals now becomes more exciting and every win becomes more and more crucial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This weekend\u2019s match is although crucial for both sides, it is more crucial for Bond Uni than it is for Southport. For Southport, a win will see them just about secure a top two position, but for Bond Uni they need the win to help make them more secure in the top four.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Bull Sharks currently sit in fourth, with only percentage separating them from fifth place Coorparoo. Although a win on Saturday will not secure their finals spot, it will certainly makes things a bit safer for them, particularly should they slip up in either of their final two matches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-dc-block-dc-mention _dc_mention\"><div class=\"section-heading_wrap\"><span class=\"section-heading is-small\">Mentions<\/span><span class=\"hor-border\"><\/span><\/div><ul class=\"js-overflow-list overflow-list\"><li class=\"object-mention_single\"><div class=\"tag tag--is-clickable\"><a class=\"tag-text _dc_mention_p\" href=\"https:\/\/central.rookieme.com\/afl\/player\/brittany-perry\/\">Brittany Perry<\/a><\/div><\/li><li class=\"object-mention_single\"><div class=\"tag tag--is-clickable\"><a class=\"tag-text _dc_mention_p\" href=\"https:\/\/central.rookieme.com\/afl\/player\/darcie-davies\/\">Darcie Davies<\/a><\/div><\/li><li class=\"object-mention_single\"><div class=\"tag tag--is-clickable\"><a class=\"tag-text _dc_mention_p\" href=\"https:\/\/central.rookieme.com\/afl\/player\/brianna-mcfarlane\/\">Brianna McFarlane<\/a><\/div><\/li><li class=\"js-dropdown dropdown overflowed\"><button class=\"btn btn-icon-only\"><span class=\"icon btn-icon\">\n                    <!-- icon - plus circle - 20px-->\n                    <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 20 20\">\n                        <path d=\"M15,9.28h-4.3V5h0A.72.72,0,1,0,9.28,5h0V9.28H5a.72.72,0,0,0,0,1.43H9.28V15a.72.72,0,0,0,1.43,0h0V10.71H15a.72.72,0,0,0,0-1.43Z\"\/>\n                        <path d=\"M10,0A10,10,0,1,0,20,10,10,10,0,0,0,10,0Zm0,18.57A8.57,8.57,0,0,1,10,1.43h0a8.57,8.57,0,0,1,0,17.14Z\"\/>\n                    <\/svg>\n                <\/span><\/button><div class=\"popover\"><div class=\"popover-content\"><ul class=\"popover-menu\"><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THERE is only one match this weekend in the QAFLW, but it is sure to be a rather entertaining one.
