Should be a fun HCA GF this week, both sides have beaten each other this year and have played close games past 3 years. Two different styles with Stirling being very aggressive with the bat whereas SCIBs more grind you down. Stirling have 3 absolute weapons in Read, Mcfayden and Webb, Webb being a real big game player. We got the best of them once with the ball but the other time they smacked us around. Fielding will be huge for us as need to take chances. Aaron the key wicket for us as he's been in unbelievable form the past 6 weeks. Hopefully we get another close GF.

Would McFadyen be playing or be out due to SANFL Round 1?

All set for the GFs- Two cracking games in store

Hahndorf v Lobethal: Think Lobey get this done, they know how to win finals and Weeks is a big game player and will have the troops primed to take another flag. Hahndorf have got them a couple of times this year though, can they do it again?

Stirling v SCIB: SCIB with all the momentum into finals and are my tip. Their top order are in form and Stirling will have their work cut with the ball. Read will have to get them off to a flyer with the bat and their experienced middle order will have to make a good total for Stirling to be a chance.

Congratulations to Stirling on Saturday. 3 in 4 years is a hell of an effort. Way to good on the day, bowled and fielded a treat. McCullum with the gloves is spectacular.

Dark day for us in our worst performance for a few years but super proud to be back there again.

Congratulations to Lobethal on 4 in a row to, that is a super effort.

Agree with those sentiments Batman. I was checking scores (Hills, A&EH & the Shield final) throughout Saturday arvo, while at the Box Hill Hawks game...... McCullum is a good keeper. He caught my eye last season, with his up to the stumps work. His stumping of J. Healy in the Semi, was superb work.

Loby just bat, bowl & field too deep.
