Mal kicks the point after siren I believe from about 50 out. You guys chair him off the ground and then go on to smash Kew next week.

They would want to be strong to chair him off

I wonder what the D9 is up to these days. What a trade that was. I went to the lions v pies GF that year. Go Mal!

Old Geelong left to rue wasted chances. Should have been further up and couldn't withstand the inevitable surge from the Monds.

Shame for the Pivotonians, as they were always for mine the equal of the grand finalists, but 3 into 2 never works.

See ya Bedford, and thanks for your entertaining contributions all season.

Still got one more week of Bedford Hedgy!

bedford Well done mate, excellent work!

Bedders is ubiquitous when it comes to the VAFA board and pleasing it is that it is that way. So he'll be around D1 next year. You can bet on it.

Kew to pull an SMS and lose the granny to the team they dominated in the first final. Ormond by 9. Going early.

Love to see the Monders pull it off BB. But with Brazzale a likely inclusion and with a weeks rest Kew must go in as clear favourites.

Thanks Brian. OG should have been further in front at half time, but Ormond didn't finish on top for nothing.

 

[bedford]

interesting venue for the GF, anyhow glad to be in it

 

[BlackWhite]

Where would that be Bedford? Not on the ammos site yet?

Do you want the covers on or off this week Bedford?

Our Development boys (sorry I know you don't like that comp ) are still in the hunt for the flag after beating Casey this arvo, and we will be training there this week.

Just a hint - don't expect heaps of throw ins, it's one of the widest grounds I've ever seen.

Congrats to the Monders who took their chances much better than OG. Ormond's defence put just enough pressure on to cause some lost composure in front of goal, which was probably the difference. On the other side of the coin there were at least 3-4 gettable set shots (including one from 15m in the 3rd quarter that nearly went out on the full) that would be causing nightmares for the Oggers. Thats footy. #25 for Ormond was sensational in the second half (was also great in the 2nd Ormond v OG game at the Gunn) and will be a star. Good luck in C grade. Hopefully the Oggers can join them in 2017.

I find it strange that St Bernards 19's are playing at Sandy, why couldn't they go to Coburg.

 

[bedford]

Hard to see NOBS not going all the way.
6 big inclusions.
IMO they will be there on grand final day.

wow, what happened

What does everyone attribute Kew's recent success to? Were once a perennial D3 team once upon a time, now gained promotion to C section & going for their 3 premiership in a row

wow, what happened

Long injury list including two new recruits that couldn't comeback in time for 2015 after suffering severe injuries during praccy matches. Lack of consistency in reserves squad; 68 players appeared in the 2s and e.g., Round 12 (just before the break) was 70% clubbies filling in.

Appearing in least one senior game:

• 2012 premiership: average age = 26.02* (37 players)
• 2015: average age = 26.46 (47 players)

* figure skewed slightly by two 300 gamers.

A more telling stat was 14 players appearing in at least 15 senior games for 2012, 12 in 2014 (finals appearance), and this year had just 7.

Instead of using SCIENCE!, Tim Michell's article from Round 9 may explain it in simpler terms: http://www.heraldsun.com.au/leader/...s-kew-and-ormond/story-fns1ii19-1227398101372
