It’s looking like OBALUMNIANDAFEWORMONDJUNIORS and OMs will be making up the numbers.

The young but ruthless SKOBAFL.
The hardened but due for a loss Lions.
And of course. The talent laden but catching up OXAFL.

It’s anyones flag to win now.

I liked it again , i wonder whether the eye will approve

 

[that was out of bounds]

Not if they loose a lot of players in the off season

Is that the rumour?

 

[RednWhite]

Is that the rumour?

Could just be, we will have to wait and see

 

[XXXXAFL]

Surely the match of the day game is at Braahton this week?

 

[Mike Olotripo]

Surely the match of the day game is at Braahton this week?

You would think so, both sides have plenty to play for.

Ditto for Collegians against Old Trinity as a win would sew up 2nd spot and the double chance. Add in Old Xavs v Uni Blues. Credit to Uni, they have not relented later on this season when they could have gone to water post the points cap issue. This will be a terrific contest.

 

[man in outer]

Slight lack of drama to end the season this year unfortunately. Ladder looks pretty set aside from the elimination final ... and even that looks to be a contest in who gets to lose to Xavs the week after.

VFL players availability and eligibility to be the big determinate for me. I'm cautiously optimistic for the young SKOBBers with a resurgence Phil Edgar. Think its pretty even money between SKOB, Xavs & OC.

The SKOB vs Collegians game would be a dreaded scenario for the Lions, they know they can't beat them when it counts, although it's been an amazing run for the Lions boys, I for one are really happy for them as Mr Rivers is a terrific person. Could they do a UB and go from the edge of relegation to premiers? Mr Mike Olotripo would be hoping so.

I'm not sure that OX are an automatic qualifier for the prelim, OM's or Brighton will lick their wounds and come hard for them in that game. My gut tells me OB will win this week, they were pretty good against SKOB last week. They are hard and ferocious at the pill, which is not something OM's are renowned for. If we look at the recent meeting between the two of them, OM's were smashed in that area.

Let's hope all teams get through this weekend injury free, so we can all enjoy some great finals action, and may the best team, whoever that may be, be victorious

Gotta agree with "Plats". OB should get over OM's, just a little bit more polished Im thinking. Will be a cracker of a game, every thing on the line.
Dont you just love it..

VAFA website has De Steiger, Borthwock and Baker all getting injured on the weekend. Probably OMs three best players, minus Dunnell. Brighton will roll them by 30+.

Thanks Mr Platinum. I'm curious as to how SKOB managed to dismantle OB by such a humbling margin on the weekend. I agree that OB do play a more contested and ruthless style of football than OMs, but remember that it's Tom Paule's 200th game on the weekend and OMs I'm sure will no doubt be ensuring that such a club champion plays game 201 in a final.

 

[man in outer]

OMs to win and stay alive
Scotchies in a bruise free game
SKOB playing very cautiously to get the job done in a tight one
OX to roar into the finals
OC to continue the ride

Braahton 1 pointers lost by 77 points so I’m not sure how that is “pretty good”. I do however think they will bounce back this week.

I would love to follow it live on match of the day but that’s not happening

 

[From45SlightAngle]

Am I right in saying, if OXAFL lose to UNIAFL, and OB and OMs draw, then they both make finals?

So Mr Angle, you’re telling me there’s a chance?

 

[From45SlightAngle]

Dare I say Sir Platinum, there is. And boy wouldn’t that be some crazy “areas”.

There couldn’t be a gentleman’s agreement between the southern mobs could there? Surely not. But we know the hatred for the claret and stout runs deep

 

[Over The Post]

An interesting postulation!

 

[Over The Post]

I'm making a late charge to avoid the wooden spoon.

 

[flat footy]

I think your forgetting the %'s must also align. More chance of winning "Power Ball" than that happening....

Not sure about that FF. If it’s a draw, OB and OM will be on 46 points. OXAFL will be on 44 points if they lose. Unless I’ve missed something.

I believe the match of the year so far, The Elimination Final will be the match of the day. Someone listened!

 

[Keano15]

Back for last round tips:
Old Brighton v Old Melburnians - OM's are just a little less wounded (only just though)
Old Trinity v Collegians - Lions tuning up for finals
Caulfield v Old Scotch - One last time for the great Punchy Williams
St Bernards v SKOBS - SKOBS in a canter
Old Xavs v Uni Blues - Last game at the Old Toorak Park
