The first placed Moranbah Bulldogs will face the fourth placed Mackay Magpies, in this weeks Allied Pickford's Cup match of the round.
Moranbah are coming off an incredible 204-point victory over the Whitsunday Sea Eagles at home, while the Magpies fought out a tough 3-goal win over the win-less Saints. For the men in black and white, their focus will need to be on key goal-kickers Moloney and Proud.
The Moloney-Proud combination booted 21-goals between them, to automatically become the two most dangerous forwards in the competition.
Daniel Moloney will play predominately up forward, with Nicholas Proud a hard-running midfielder, both players sitting second and third on the Allied Pickford's goal-kicking leader board for the competition. For the Magpies, they are harder to read with 10-goal kickers from their round 3 clash.
Simon Wilson, was by far the Magpies best and will be a key to shut-down for the Bulldogs.
Other key players include last season best and fairest Heath Thiele, Tyson Craig (ruck) and player/coach Nick Thiele, all key players to a Magpies victory.
For the Bulldogs, the previously mentioned Nicholas Proud and Daniel Moloney, along with Aaron Thompson and Damian Krause.
An interesting match up, this will be Moranbah's first trip into Mackay and all eyes will be on the ladder leaders, to see if they are a contender in season 2016.
