Wolves and Olympic both looking really strong with 100% records so far, Wolves impressive, dominant victories are something to behold. Defending league champions from last season where they started the season with 12 successive wins, breaking numerous records during the year, are my favorites to go back-to-back in 2012.
Lions, promoted this season despite the signing of former Coasty (CCM & GCU) Matt Osman are really struggling and along with North Pine are my spend a tough reason at the dirty end of the table. A battle between Souths United and newly promoted North Star will decides who rounds out the bottom 3 for me.
Its been a 2 horse race at the top of the league between Wolves and Rochedale in recent memories, both superior in all aspects in Brisbane football all the way down to the juniors, but my dark horses for this year's Veto League crown are both Olympic FC and Brisbane City. The bright lights are back on at Spencer Park, home of the Brisbane Azzuri from the old NSL days... and Goodwin Park is turning into a Greek fortress over on that side of town.
Props must go to Eastern Suburbs who this week had a grand re-opening of their home field and brand new facilities after having to start from scratch and rebuild after the Brisbane Floods tore through the club just over 12 months ago... congrats to Alan Hunter and all the background staff down there at Eastern Suburbs, tigers looking for a top 4-6 finish this year.

What a day today has been in the Veto League with the only three remaining unbeaten teams all defeated. No games were played on Saturday this weekend due to the Roar finals match.
As for the task of providing photos of local grounds..... googling the ground names tends to only get you little snapshots of the park as opposed to the whole thing - but perhaps over the course of the season I could put a little album together......
