The Coney Island Warriors were successful in their qualifying final against the Royals and are hoping the
taught them some valuable lessons. Now that the Warriors main competitors, Royals and Gumbies, have both been knocked out in straight sets, TheInjuryFactory must be feeling pretty good right now. The only teams left in the competition are teams that Coney Island have already beaten this season, so all they need to do is focus on playing their brand of qooty.The Away Team
The Mount Buller Demons have done it the hard way after failing to finish inside the top 4 at the end of the home and away fixture, but they have learnt a lot along the way. Beating Roys and Gumbies was only the beginning, as now they face a fired up Warriors unit on their home turf. manangatang will be sure to tell his team to not get on the back foot early on like they did in their previous match against the Warriors.
The Players
The FRED medallist winner harry000 will be looking to recreate his performance from the last time these teams met. Heres hoping the week off allowed him to practice his goal kicking, as the 2 goals 5 behinds in the qualifying final was very uncharacteristic from him.
The warrior winger Tonga Bob has had an outstanding season, averaging over 22 disposals per game, and he will be looking to provide a much needed outlet target for the Warriors defenders to kick to.
The Mobbs Medal favourite The Half Back will continue to tackle ferociously as he has throughout the entire season (ranked #1 in tackles) and provide the Warriors with the finals pressure that we all know and love.
pantskyle has his work cut out for him going up against The Half Back, but he knows the ins and outs of the Warriors gameplan and will be hoping to give another great game for the Demons as he did the last time they played his old side.
The close second placer in the FRED medal, Proper Gander will want to do everything possible to outscore harry000 this week. It might very well come down to who can kick the most goals at full forward.
Last Time they Met
Season 31 Round 10 @ Snow Dome
Mount Buller Demons 4.1 8.6 13.6 17.9 (111)
Coney Island Warriors 8.2 14.3 18.7 21.7 (133)
harry000 kicked 9 goals from 9 kicks in an inhuman display of accuracy. Tonga Bob was at his best with 28 disposals and 12 marks, as was TheInjuryFactory with 9 tackles and a goal to boot.
pantskyle was carrying his team on his shoulders with a huge game, gathering 24 disposals and kicking 5 goals, but it wasn't enough. Tarkyn_24 had 21 hitouts to give his team the best opportunities to get first hands to the ball, but it didn't matter in the end.
The main differentiator: Handball receives (+/- 25)
