After every round of the South West Football League the Footy HQ team will reflect on what we've learned from the weekend's matches.
Here's our take on Round 3.
He may have missed week two due to other commitments but Carey Park's Matt Cavedon made his presence known against Collie in round three.
Big, fast and extremely physical, Cavedon adds a dimension to Carey Park's game that they otherwise would not have.
Cavedon was spotted sprinting from the half-back line to half-forward to affect a contest despite his side leading by 40 points with less than 10 minutes to go.
The gesture showed this is a player with every intention of giving a four-quarter effort each week.
Already earning strong praise around the league, Cavedon is a player to watch.
Harvey, who are currently in their seventh season as part of the South West Football League, can say their win over South Bunbury on the weekend was arguably the best since the club joined in 2009.
A narrow four-point victory over Carey Park in 2011, in the John Zappia tribute match, currently holds that title but the demolition of the Tigers was so impressive that it must go close.
It was a win which made a statement to the competition – the Bull's young midfielders and their new recruits have gelled and are ready to make a dash at an inaugural finals berth.
With the way the competition has evened out this season they are every chance of playing in September.
They look to be in the same bracket as Donnybrook and Augusta-Margaret River and will look to contend for a spot in this season's finals.
Fans at eight of the 10 South West Football League clubs have at least one side in the top five of a ladder in either the league, reserves or colts competition.
Carey Park and Donnybrook are yet to lose a league game, Eaton, Harvey-Brunswick-Leschenault and Carey Park are all undefeated in the reserves while Bunbury are three from three in the colts.
Busselton currently hold down position number six on each of the three tables but with a tough draw to start the season, will likely muscle their way up the ranks pretty soon.
The only side to not have a team in the top five is South Bunbury but you wouldn't know it by the mood down at Hands Oval.
Their young sides are up and about and learning a fair few good lessons along the way.
The first round with a decent downpour had plenty of boys slipping and sliding around.
Massive downpours hit the Bunbury and Augusta-Margaret River match on multiple occasions and the Payne Park pitch was clearly spongy.
When the wind picked up too we wondered on occasions why the players continued to look for long targets.
In those sorts of conditions it may be prudent to just lower the eyes and look for a target.
The long range forecast suggests this winter could be one of the wettest the South West has seen in quite a few so if a side wants to lift the trophy aloft at the end of September, they had better learn how to play good wet-weather football.
Footy HQ - WA reporter Justin Rake loves everything about the South West Football League.
From round one through to the grand final last year he led the Fairfax tipping competition and will proudly tell anyone who stands still long enough that he was 25 from 25 last year.
He was cock-a-hoop after two rounds of season 2015 with 10 from 10 but a shock three-out-of-five in round three sees him tied for first place with our digital editor Tim Carrier.
As perennial cellar-dweller last year (Andrew), I'm happy to be sitting on 11 and in striking distance if the Hawks can get the job done over the Dons this weekend.
It will be a frosty morning in the Bunbury Mail office if Justin were to get knocked off the first position.
(And yes we are taking a chance to trash talk him while he is on a short, but well-deserved holiday).
