Huge Week for A/Grade Under 18's

Qualifying Final
Keilor vs Greenvale

Elimination Final
West Coburg vs Doutta Stars

Any Tips?

Big rivalry with Keilor and Greenvale always with there tough duals, with Greenvale winning the last match played.
Also another big match with West Coburg vs Doutta Stars, last time they played apparently it got called off at three quarter time due to a huge melee that ended up in the car park.
So it will be very intense week in A/Grade this week!

Any Thoughts?
I think keilor will beat Greenvale but not by much. Douttas will also beat West Coburg by a good 30 points or so. Lets jus hope that they actually come out to play footy and not jus for a punch on. Does anybody know where they are being played at?

From the four teams that have made finals who are the key players to look for?
Don't know bout the other teams but Douttas have a full line up. Watch out for jakey george he will definately kick a bag. Young joel cusack and patty nataro along with other quick runners make the back line a strong lineup. who can give any other teams in the finals key players?
 
I coached in this league this season and was pumped by all 4 teams. Here is my analysis.


Keilor - definitely favourites. They had key players out each time we played them but were solid across the ground. Have fantastic depth and consist of mainly athletic type players. Doubt they will be beaten.

Greenvale - Fairytale team. Solid, hard working team. A great unit. Solid across the ground, fantastic workrate, Some very good players but don't think they have as many stars as Keilor. Team Id like to see win it most. Think they will make the granny.

Douttas - Very talented team. Clever team also. George at full forward is a monster. They use the ball well. Could win it on their day. Don't think they have the midfield to go with Keilor or Greenvale. Have some solid players, but don't think their flankers are as strong as Keilor. Will go close.

West Coburg - Great effort to make finals coming from B grade. Some good players but don't have the talent to go with the others. Courageous team whom will get better next season, I see a punch on breaking out at some point.

Prelim - Keilor VS Greenvale - Keilor 29pts

Elimination - West Coburg VS Douttas - Douttas 39pts

Prelim - Greenvale VS Douttas - Greenvale 44pts

Grand Final - Keilor VS Greenvale - Greenvale 2pts

l too coached a side which were beaten by the top four this year and from good people that l do know from d/stars is that they have 8 players out that would win them the finals....................so l can't see them beating w/cobury no way.......
some of the players are so down coz the 8players which ,5 are guns, 2 are ok and 1, l wouldn't play in my side didn't play 4 games in the 18's coz of school footy , a broken hand and a knee from last weeks game.....my tip is w/coburg 75points easy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Keilor v Greenvale- greenvale 24 pts
Which ever midfield gets on top early will decide which way this game will go. Greenvales tall forwards will stretch the back line of keilor.

West Coburg v Doutta Stars- doutta 30pts
If doutta come to play they will win, although they are known to be inconsistent. West coburg lack the 1 or 2 guns who can turn a game which i think will be the difference.
 
Well done Douttas.

Good to see they had a "young" trick up their sleeve by the name of Lucin. Once this kid was put on the ball in the 2nd Q he really came to life. Sorry dont no final score but Douttas will meet Greenvale next week I believe.

Saw Lucin have a major influence in DS winning U16 GF against KE. What message does it send other U18 players at DS for him to be promoted in front of them unless he has been there most of the season?

l was at the game of d/stars yesterday saw half ,very good game but,the only message that l saw is that they had players out and that they have more out coz of injuries l don,t think it was players promoted.

I don't think there is a problem promoting this kid into the team. If DS had injuries, they had to ensure they had a full bench going into this a final. And besides that if some players form and attitude have been crap over the past weeks or for that fact all season then I wouldn't hesitate replacing them. Correct me if I am wrong but didn't DS have 3 x U16 players in the GF last year. My view is you put the best team on form on the park on any given week, especially finals time. After watching the u16's GF the week before, I reckon DS could have brought in half a dozen u16's and they would have done the job equally as Lucin did yesterday.....:rolleyes:

Anyway, G Christie missed out on his clubs B&F, that went to Nick Kovac, but maybe he is in with a show on the comp B&F.......:p

Totally agree jets06! douttas should bring in a top TAC cup player if they have a chance. Also Christie was unlucky but I was there watching on the weekend and that on the run goal gave the team a lift and some would say the game!! haha

dejavu - Greenvale vs Doutta.......
only got to watch doutta v west coburg last week and was impressed with doutta's discipline and quick movement of the footy. Doutta didn't have a full bench after 1/4 time, plus they did have a number of regular contributors down on form on the day, but I still expect them to lift as they did last year in the pre-lim vs Greenvale.

A little bird told me that Lucin will be out due to cannons duties. Needs to play this weekend to qualify for TAC finals. Pitty for douttas as he really changed the game for them when moved into the middle. Good luck to the young fella deserves everthing that comes his way.

Lucin does not need to qualify for TAC finals, as long as he is a registered TAC Cup player he is eligible to play finals. The old rule was that you needed to have played a minimum of 2 games to qualify. :D
