2 weeks left! It’s prelim finals time. Who we got this week to make it through to the final weekend of the season?

Waaia to beat katandra by 4 goals for me. Gonna take a mighty effort from katandras key players to win that one. Waaia Just play their ground so well and stars everywhere on the park. Do we get Leighton Daly vs Bell in the middle? Or do sides tag the two stars? Winner of that battle should be handed the Pearce medal. Gonna be a good contest.

Katamatite to be to strong for Deni. Deni will come out firing but katty have to much depth and will win by 5-6 goals on their home deck. Can’t see Deni winning that one unless their mids dominate. Gorman to do his thing again? Showed in the first final he’s a match winner, one to watch.

What’s everyone else thinking?!

Waaia vs katty in next weeks grand final. What a game that will be! Bombers just know how to get it done after being down 4 goals yesterday. Katty way too classy for Deni.

Any predictions for tomorrow nights vote count?
 
First game I have watched of PDFL in a long time today between Katty and Deni. Without umpire bashing, it was the worst umpiring I have ever witnessed (go back to club umpires is a good option here). Any players watching today who might be thinking of heading PDFL way would go to MFL for sure. I hope for better next week or there could be a boil over after the game. Deni looked a long way of it and the Clurey boys and co all rested from 3/4 time onwards.

Ironic that you mention MFL and umpiring . Came across some people who had been at the MFL final at Numurkah and they were far less than complimentary of the umpiring . Unfortunately umpire bashing ( complaining ) it is a far too common practice, along with the use of old ‘ the worst umpiring ever seen ‘ , blah blah blah.

Amongst the crowd yesterday when there was two vastly different reactions to two particular umpire calls , from supporters of the same club . Some just think everything has to go their clubs way and some are realists .
There will be times during a match and particularly a grand final when things go a clubs way and times when they don’t , like when they think they been on the wrong end of an umpiring decision .
The club that can absorb the pressure and not get flustered , when things aren’t going their way , will win the GF .
I am pretty confident neither club is going to buy into umpiring being used as an excuse , particularly knowing the coaches involved pretty well .
The senior GF shapes as a really good game and the weather forecast looks favourable .
Tom Clurey I don’t believe played the last quarter whilst Will Gorman came off at the 18 minute mark of the last quarter , Patrick Riordan not long after.
Will Gorman is in white 🔥 form atm and no doubt will be a key player in next weeks game .

The umpiring wasn’t great but you should mention it had 0 impact on the result. If anything I’d argue it helped Deniliquin. They were miles of Katty

My main take away from the game was the league (all leagues) should have finals venues with nets behind the goals.

Why didn't Gerish play? Will he play this weekend in the big dance?

Leighton-Daly- Waaia
Gorman- Katty
Bell- Katandra
Conboy- Berrigan
That’s my top 4 in no particular order

Clubs are allowed to apply for 3 player exemptions to be able to play in 2 comps.
Believe there are allowed more at the start of the year, then need to cut it down to 3 by a certain date, perhaps June 30

I think it's great that kids can play in 2 comps, on a Saturday and Sunday. It's a bit like metro Melbourne when kids can play school footy then club footy.
 
I see some other leagues do a team of the year, maybe something the Picola league could do next year? Would be great to see

Anyone want to have ago on here

Good start, It will be hard as most people only see players once.

I think the most dominant Ruckmans would be Bergman, Del Grosso or Costa

I think Neild as a smaller forward would go in the forward pocket or Kerzerle

Hickford, Newman or Hay in the backline

Cleeland from Waaia would have to be in the backline somewhere and probably Clurey. Alex Hay from Deni on HBF as well - very good user. Last years Pearce medal winner Ferguson as slots in somewhere

Hickford doesn't make it. McGrath and Kerzerl much better players.

Tonks kicks a lot of goals for a small forward in a bad side (never seen him play just looking at stats).

Roar's man Will Gorman at HF would be dangerous
