Murrabit will welocme back the services of Ettershank whom they missed greatly last week. Him coming back into the side will release Rooney forward and hopefully straighen them up in front of goals.
You would expect B Smith to return for the maroons to further bolst their running brigade
Should be a great contest if the last game shows any indication

Rooney will play on the ball i reckon! He is one of the better runners in the side. Should be a good contest anyway! Murrabit to win just, also in the 2nds, with Tyson Christianson to play a blinder who went missing last week. Murrabit also in 4ths, and macorna in the 3rds!!

How has Rooter been going this year I'v seen him in the best a bit, could be a very physical game if he lined up on Andy Hewitt...

Your kicks don't have to look good to kick goals, just ask Doran. Rooney doesn't miss many i'm told

Bugger me!! You've got to be kidding me!! He has been a welcome addition to the Murrabit side and I love the bloke to pieces but if you're looking at him to be a match winner you may well come up short, good honest backman who works his ass off for the team, but on baller or forward, i think not...
May not have missed any but dare say he hasn't kicked many either...

Tend to agree with Greg Champion on this one, hell of a manreally, but not a forward! Has been a handy inclusion to Murrabits team yes, but as a backman!

Yes i dare say a little bit of Big Footy banter,
Rooney has played well at half back all year and i can't see the mowhawk heading forward at any stage on saturday.

6 Sep 2007, 14:35
I'd would say that Murrabit will come out of the blocks early. They started slowly last week and would want to knock that on the head fairly quickly. Then after that it will be an even tussle. Whatever Murrabit lead by at Quarter time will be the margin.
There you go Nully...prove me wrong. I dare ya.

You've been around long enough Footy Pie, what do you think will happen?
Cable Tie
6 Sep 2007, 15:07
I personally think it will be a good game to watch, played at a pretty frantic pace. I agree with the Vet that the start of the match will be decisive in the final result.. who will start the best? unsure
Players to watch i imagine you already would be watching Glenn Smith, but also his little Bro too on the ball, both are lightning. Then you have a handy player by the name of Billy Hewitt, game winner if playing forward, but unlikely to do so.
so probably the three keys there for Nully.
Murrabit will need to improve in their forward line, Henry kicked 5 last week in a loosing side so they will need to find other avenues to goal i suspect. So the likes of Randall, McDonald and Coulter up forward will need to kick a few each. On ball a couple of classy players, Hein and Morton probably 25+ touches each a game are a key to the success of the team. Down back ettershank will be improtant too in holding a key forwand to few kicks more than likely a Poyner or Atkin.
All in all a cracker of a game i would imagine, the forcast is fine and the venue is "the best in the league"????
Unable to pick a winner but will pick a margin.... 14pts

6 Sep 2007, 15:09
You've been around long enough Footy Pie, what do you think will happen?
Team who kicks more goals and points on the day will win!!!
On a serious note, Murrabit have to shut down Smiths, Hewitt and Atkin, Nully have to shut down big Nats, the Heins, Morton. Mite be a ringa ding ding show Murrabit may just have more depth

Good to be back boys! A lot has been happening since I have been away.
Good win to Wandella, give the cup to them now! They will excel on the big ground of Kerang. To win the Grand Final in the Golden Rivers you need to have leg speed and the Bombers have this. The Murrabit boys will be tested by the Maroons this weekend as the Maroons have good leg speed too but not enough depth as the Murrabit boys. The big ground at Quamby will help the Mallee boys as the blue boys do not have a lot of pace. What they do have is a couple of big targets and the Maroons will not be able keep all of these quiet enough on the day.
Blue boys this weekend by 5 goals.
Bombers the week after!

They are big on paybacks because they continually fail at the last hurdle. My tip is that they will soon owe nully or murrabit TWO paybacks.

Lets talk about this weeks big game a bit more. We all know who the big match ups are, who are some of the lesser known players who do the job week in, week out? Every club has always got a few who are not stars, but continually get the job done. Wade Humphries springs to mind, hardly ever gets beaten. In fact, the Nully back six have been good all year. Murrabit seem to have had different names pop up in the best throughout the year, which suggests good depth. Who do others see as consistent 'non-stars' in these teams?

Lesser known for murrabit, but very valuable include matt jackman, brent neville, dave millard. etc! Quite a long list, as murrabit have quite a lot of depth.

Matt Jackman would have to be one of the premier rebounding defenders in the league. For Murrabit to win they need Sam Randall to at least be a second option to take the heat of Nats. Sam had a bad day last week which didnt help the blues.

Didn't help the mallee boys against Quamby, but certainly helped the blue boys against them! Don't be fooled by the larger ground giving Nullawil's pace an advantage - they got lost out wide. Murrabit played it much better. Should be a cracker game though - ?? by up to 2 goals.
And there is no doubt that Wandella will thrive on the open paddock that is Riverside Park in Kerang..

It was embarrasing to see the scores flash up on the footy rap, a prelim and a 20 goal win! Will give the Blue boys a bit of confidence to take on the Bombers.

Yes well it is fair to say that Nully did cop a bit of a rear hiding, and Smith surely was embarrassed by the teams performance! Noticed he didnt play much in the guts, was that due to a good job from Murray or Soreness? Hurt Nully a lot and they just didnt look interested, Morton and Brad Hein absolutely polaxed the Maroons and they just looked deflated! Henry and Randall clicked together and played the forward 50 extremely well! Nully started off the day well with young Smith gettin the first couple of centre clearances, but was taken off an from then on Nully struggled to win the ball out of the middle! Full credit to the blues tho, proved why the finished on top of the ladder! She's game on this weekend!

If that is aaren smith you are talking about getting those clearances, then they were his only two kicks for the day. Him and his teammates didnt want to be there. Horrible performance.
How did Rooter go??? Did he tear up the midfield, punish them up forward.. or do what he does best, make his opponent earn every kick in the back half.

Mmmmm, another great writeup/prediction by the marvel himself, Ben Carter. If I recall, he tipped Nullawil by 6 goals. 6 goals equals 36 points, and also add the 115 points they lost by, which equates to a 151 point deficit. Embarrassing! I will be checking the classifieds for some work at the Northern Times next year, cos this man is a joke!

Also something that should be pretty topical at this point in time is who will win the League Medals tonight. Few Predictions from myself include
Seniors: Glenn Smith is favourite, Luke Maher shouldn’t be too far behind him I wouldn’t say, if not may even pip smith at the post. Harvey to poll ok coz its Harvey.
Reserves: Russell Gillingham if he had a full season would be a good chance, not to mention ol Tony Doran from Nully would be a fair show.
Thirds: Marty Kelly will poll well, as will Max Perignon from Hay. The Gibbons boys from Wandella should go alrite.
Rookie of the Year: 2 horse race between Millard and Smith, would have to say Smith as he is a bit bigger and more recognised on a footy field as he plays key positions.

Anyway that was 2 weeks ago. The main game between 2 bitter rivals for the 2007 Premiership Cup will be another ball biter, regardless of who umpires. A great effort to see Wandella get the 4 teams in the GF. I'll wait till Friday to give a prediction.

Probably a huge call considering they will be coming up against the likes of Mick Bott, Chum Chamberlain, Kyle Gillingham who are all capable footballers so I wouldnt say they'd be the difference! Huge job in stopping Henry and Meehan proved in the 2nd semi he is more than capable of that! Randall kicked his goals for the year last year so wouldnt be getting too worried about him Wandella boys!!

Just out of interest, who are the other 7 clubs hoping wins Saturday encounter between the bombers and the blues??
Carna Blues, i'm a little biast though as i played in a premiership there a long while back.:thumbsu:
I'm actually interested in the magoos game this weekend. Who are some of the players, from both teams, that could make the difference. I'm not talking about Doran etc i'm looking for the 2 rung of players that might stand up when it counts.
I'm also choosing F by the way

Probably a huge call considering they will be coming up against the likes of Mick Bott, Chum Chamberlain, Kyle Gillingham who are all capable footballers so I wouldnt say they'd be the difference! Huge job in stopping Henry and Meehan proved in the 2nd semi he is more than capable of that! Randall kicked his goals for the year last year so wouldnt be getting too worried about him Wandella boys!!
There's a few more they might have to contain also. What do you mean about Randall? Lets just hope it is a good game to watch and hopefor a good crowd!

For nully they will be looking for the v-train, the twin towers dasher poyner and ralphy pollington, spider coffee around the ground and the ever reliable Ricky sheehan dropping down back.

i'm back on board after living up north for a few yrs back in the early 90's i see murrabit are in the gf again this yr go boys hope u smash them
Just a curly one for Appin Vet, will the new rule not allowing u/17 players playing 2 games in a grand final, will this affect the reserves knowing that cant bring anyone up from the unders, and with the seniors in?

I don't believe that will be a problem at the selection table. I think they have a full list to pick from. With 3 players set to come back in the 1st's, that will add depth to the 2nd's which will in turn eliminate the chance of playing 3rd's in the 2nd's.
Here is a certainty on GRFL GF day- Collingwood to beat the West Coast Weasels by 3 goals on their home turf! Go Pies!!

Hey Vet, who makes way for ice, brandt and poodle?? I know they are all fit and ready to go, but does the coach omit those who can play seconds (ie. lancaster, moore, hall) or does he go with the best 21??

Anyone can play seconds if both sides play on the same day. But are they all 100%? You wouldn't want to carry anyone in to a grand final, particulary players like poodle and ice who are constantly breaking down.

Can't honestly say with any real degree of accuracy who will play and who won't. Not my place. See Chum, I can keep secrets!

Are you the No.1 ticket holder of that illustrious fan club? Is it also true there is a waiting list as long as Manchester United's to gain Membership??

Umpires for Saturdays Grand Final matches are as follows
Seniors: Brent Howden and Peter Warren with Graham Handock Emerg.
Reserves: Brian O'Conner and Ross Frantz with Graeme Cathie Emerg.
Under 17s: Graham Handcock and Geoff Douthat with Jason Leggett Emerg.
Mother/Daughter combination around the boundary with Johnny and Melissa Doyle patrolling the outer! No doubt Johnny will be as proud as punch jumping higher than Joe Cocker to his point on the centre square, sensational!

That is brilliant work there Facts! Considering that the Umpires are announced tonight at the annual Umpires tea they have each Grand Final week. They could've used you at APEC in Sydney as a sniffer hound.
BTW, congrats on the Rookie of the year.

Hey factsy do you think that nully may throw some surprises in the team considering some blokes can still qualify for the reserves?

Anyone know what time the gates are opened on grand final day. I know a few people who want a spot on the fence and I would think they will need to be there pretty early to get a spot.

Plus u have Doug Poyner as well and the flying V Train to slot in there but I'm not a selector but not allowing U17's certainly makes it harder and that rule is the most ridiculous thing I've heard in a while, something the league needs to re-assess. Take Hay's reserves for instance, if they were unable to play 3rds they wouldnt have fielded a team for the whole year, i no this is only a rule in finals but i still find it ridiculous as 3rds do play in the 2's all year.
Gates usually open @ 8 I'm pretty sure! If they're elderly tell them to get an disabled pass or whatever they are, am pretty sure u can and u are entitled to a park on the fence!

Apin Vet can you please pass onto Chum not to play injured players on the home ground of the Crappers as you can't afford it!
At least the weather won't be as hot at the GF this weekend as it was last year and this will make for a better contest!
Given that I am not a fan of either side but unfortunately one of these two sides has to win!
What I want out of the game is BIFF! Bring back the BIFF! I hope the Blues and Bombers smash each other! Do any of these sides have any hard men? Who enjoys the BIFF?

Didn't Nats kick 11 or 12 on Spider earlier in the year. I don't think he will be looking forward to standing Nats on the weekend, especially after his dismal effort in the 05 Grand Final, where he went to #*$^ and almost failed to register a stat.

Surely Brian O'Connor should get the main game. Has to be one of the best umpires that i have come across
