Ben Nunan - Victoria 
Weakness: Kryptonite
Favourite Player: Travis Crawley
Big Guns Comment:
Here we go again ladies and gentlemen... introducing the star of the show!!! Benny 'Big Time' Nunan
The defending 'Big Guns' champion will be even harder to beat on his home tables at Princes.
Who will Benny play in the final?
A white hot favourite (again) in our books.

Ron Kelly - Western Australia
Weakness: Any card game.
Favourite Player: Travis Crawley
Big Guns Comment:
Ronnie was clearly the best player last year until he ran into an out of control Ben Nunan in the final. Even
with Benny at his absolute best, the final still went down to the final frame and a master break by Ben in
the 21st frame prevented Ronnie from a visit to the table.
Over the best of 21 distance, Ronnie is world class. Tough to stop, tough to beat.
He will be equal favourite this year with Benny... Wont be a suprise to see him in the final again.

Jake McCartney - (Ballarat) Victoria
Weakness: Has a nervous cough when under the pump.
Favourite Player: Travis Crawley
Big Guns Comment:
This top line youngster will have serious claims on the title this year.
He just dipped his toe in the water last year to see hot it would be. He can lift to this level without
much trouble. He just needed the gallop last year, now he is ready.
Jake has an awkwardness about him at the table that gives opponents a hope that they in with a chance, however, his ability to finish frames is brilliant.
A definate contender in this years Big Guns.

Alec Evrenadis - (Adelaide) South Australia
Weakness: Unknown
Favourite Player: Travis Crawley
Big Guns Comment:
No introduction is required. Alec has done it all... many times.
Easily the most decorated pool player in Australia, Alec will be keen to add this title to his long list of achievments. Regarded by many as the greatest pool player Australia has ever seen, this man will take some stopping.
In any tournament, after the draw is done, everyone looks to see where Ace has been drawn. The longer you can avoid him, the better... hopefully someone else can beat him!!!
With his table toughness, best of 21 is right up his alley.
The bookies will keep Áce'very safe in the market. A big time player, big time ability.

James Delahunty - (Adelaide) South Australia
Weakness: Scoreboard Pressure
Favourite Player: Travis Crawley
Big Guns Comment:
Easily, one of the most gifted and outstanding potters in the world. Jimmy can put a space between himself and any opponent in a blink of an eye. When in full flight, he is just a pleasure to watch.
If he can find the complete game, he will be unstoppable. Who ever gets to play Jimmy had better be ready to play, coz there aint no time to get settled... don't blink... you might miss it!
If he shows up with his Á' game, I pity the rest of you.

Brenton Collier - (Adelaide) South Australia 
Weakness: Slow games drain his power.
Favourite Player: Travis Crawley
Big Guns Comment:
Introducing, the current Australian Champion... Mr. Brenton Collier.
Yes ladies & gentlemen, he is the number one man at the moment. He finally captured Australia's most prestigious title in Adelaide last year.
When he lights is up, he is unstoppable... his power and precision are jaw dropping, his desire to win is intense.
Well, here he is boys!!! He is number one, and he has come to take the cash.
Bookies have decided to take him on... We don't think he can last two full days and a Friday night of full-on tournament play.
We are tipping that Mr Collier will exit the main draw late on Saturday night. Prove me wrong big fella!!!

Favourite Player: Jo Jo
Big Guns Comment:
A genuine superstar in Australian 8-Ball.
Justin started winning Australian titles before his voice broke.
He is one of the most consistent players in Australia, his ability to adapt to any match type is a massive advantage
He can pot as good as anyone, he has got the patience of a saint, tactically, he is as good as anyone.
Not the most dynamic player in the field, but that matter little when the job needs to get done.
If he decides to practice for this, he will be very, very hard to beat.

Big Guns Comment:
A former snooker pro... he must know how to cue the ball... he must have some idea...
I guess the only thing I can say is... approach with caution!
The only form line I can find is... he belted Peter Butterworth at snooker the other night.
Peter has promised to return the favour on the 7 foot tables!!! :)
