Seems a few sides have a fair few injury concerns going into the finals... Not the least US!! But the whispers are that Dingley & EB's have a couple too.

Heard the same. Besides Bruno St.Pauls will go in with the healthiest listSeems a few sides have a fair few injury concerns going into the finals... Not the least US!! But the whispers are that Dingley & EB's have a couple too.
Moorwood has a bruised shin. Should be o.k for first final. Frost will play this week. Walmsley and Brett Lavars should be ok for the 2nd final should we get there.Heard the same. Besides Bruno St.Pauls will go in with the healthiest list
From what I can gather this is how the other sides are travelling
E.Bri Their ruckman Skehan dislocated his shoulder last week and is gone for the year. Add onto that they've also lost their CHF ( Mahoney ) and Jansen their CHF both for the year and finished with no bench last week including Francis,Larsen & Douthie.
Dingley Morwood broken leg, Stock gone o/s,Frost an injury to his neck and Walmsley will be a target if he returns from his shoulder injury
Chelsea Downie dusted with a another shoulder, Roberts with a busted hand. They I believe getting Smith & Terch back for the finals
EB's by 8
Heights by 5
Yep I agree CH by roughly 5 but EB v Dingly a lot closer than 8.EB's by 8
Heights by 5
Tips for the week:
East Brighton vs Dingley - 3 goals
East Brightons experience will come to the fore here with seasoned campaigners e.g. Jameison, Larsen, Hope all showing the way.
Won't be a pushover as Dingley are the most improved side and if their youngsters play without fear and run the football in the wide spaces of Springvale they will give it a nudge.
Chelsea Heights vs St Kilda City - 2 goals
Chelsea Heights will go in as favourites but something tells me City are going to be right in this game.[/quote
Dingley by 15 points.
Chelsea Heights by 35 points.....
Manders will be out for CH....did his ankle badly last week.
Fricken hell... Down by 5 points with 21 seconds to go in the 2nd half of OT, then a Manders snap..Goal... Great win, and ballsy to come back.. But 3 goals 9 in the 1st 1/4 was always going to hurt us.
Anyways, got some finals experience into half a dozen U19's which was invaluable.
Sounds like a great win in the end. I had a feeling City were going to give it a good shake and they sure did.
East Brighton easily over Dingley, as expected their experience came to the fore, with Dingley rushing their decisions and coughing the ball up.
East Brighton's intensity was exactly what's required for finals football.
Heard #6 did something pretty average......
Is the bloke that went to hospital OK?
This is where the Ammos have it right. The club has the right to lodge a complaint and the matter will be heard. I saw a guy get king hit once in the ammos and not one umpire saw it. The offending player still got 9 weeks.How can 3 field, 2 boundary and 2 goal umpires miss it? Don't they watch the game? Or are they so self absorbed with their umpire antics that they infuriate everyone with.
Your not wrong. Dingley vs Chelsea Heights in the Reserves on Saturday and then the Seniors clash on Sunday. St Pauls Seniors play on Saturday with their Reserves on Sunday. Would have made great sense to switch it around to be all playing on the same day. I guess the league just wants the coin from both days because from what I saw on Saturday East Brighton were lucky to have 50 supporters.We should try and organise a saturday night match this week for us v you Mahalo.... Pain in the arse going both days!
Spot On, The Dingoes started ok but the signs were there early that EB were harder at it. Good wake up call and expect to see a far better prepared outfit this week. East were just too good on the day.
Douthie gives the impression that he is pretty happy with himself but geez he cut us to bits and he was terrific all day. Would love another crack at EB in a couple of weeks and can only hope that #6 is playing.
