[The Riddler]

How many cans had you have when you wrote this? Surely you were under the influence? They've smashed every team since Christmas and have now unearthed spinning sensation Rob O'Gorman just in time for finals.

No drinks, its simple, fitzroy have finals experience and a young enthusiastic side, and on the flip side rose lakes have a strong mawson lakes footy club precence and everyone knows they dont know how to win finals. The riddler is the neil craig of the saafl! Also their side is old and past it, who they gonna rely on? Old man henderson? Bloke needs to stop and have scones, cup of tea and a grandpa nap at the tea break! Can he even finish a day of cricket these days? Still think he is 20yrs younger.. In his youthfull 40s? Or they gonna rely on the heavily over rated, severely under performed o'gorman?

Hi Phantom

Like Allan Scott.......

[Dogwatcher]

Congrats Stevie Neal on winning a flag with his team!

Damn it my tip didn't work, picked vista to win, don't understand how they did not win, playing on a postage stamp, they should of chased that down after 20 overs, what happened??

Is this the start of a dynasty at rose lakes??

Also, can anyone tell me the para vista b score in the grand final?

[DKL]

vista 6/65.....clarke 5 fa

I thought this game was in the balance 60/40 u said, let me know when u get your bookie license!

[hotpies]

Hey Gigs just wondering after the second week of the grand final and the result have Rose Park got enough runs yet?

[Goat Herder]

Congrats to Rose "Lakes" Park on their GF victory. They showed they were the best team all year and produced the goods when it mattered. You can't do any more than that. Well bowled to Sharkey and my main man Ian "Hotpies #1" Henderson today! Quality collective batting effort on Day 1, primarily the partnership between Nealy & Cougs that allowed RP to up the run-scoring ante after tea, and Wehrmann made PV pay dearly for dropping him when he was about 15 or so, with some clean hits in amongst his half-ton in the latter part of their innings. Lion-hearted effort by Marshall with the ball on Day 1 too, without his class PV would've been chasing the standard 300 on Casa Da Postage Stamp...

Enjoy the win guys, it was truly well earnt by the best team on the day/s. Now you're the 'hunted'..

To my guys, all good things must come to an end, and 4 in a row is a great effort in anyone's language! The beers won't be tasting as sweet as they have done in recent times down Grand North way tonight, but rest assured we'll be back in the mix to get our hands back on that piece of silverware again in 2012/13, with the 'hunted firmly in our sights. Look forward to it.

Cheers GH. Doesn't always work out that way that the Minor Premier wins the flag, but everything went right for us over the 2 days. Steve won his first toss of the season in the Grand Final which is always an incredible advantage, he was also only selected to open the batting 30 mins from the start of play and it proved to be the match winning move. I know a lot has been said on here about the size of our ground, but with the rain we've had over the past 2 weeks, 247 was a score 99% of sides would be confident of defending. Particularly when no side had made over 200 against us all season and the best bowler in the comp Jeff Clarke on our side. Still PV have some quality bats, but when Smith went early and Hodson who was looking dangerous was dismissed, any nerves I had left me. Must say I was baffled it was left to Cuz or Rich Marshall to hand us the shield, as no one from the committee was present Cheers for the PV lads who stuck around for a chat and a beer, and fair effort from you blokes to give yourselves a chance to win 5 flags in a row. Was a good night for us, and thought the Riddler and Hendo were our best off the ground too, as they were part of the final 4 that ran into the Woolshed crew of Cuz, Marshall, Harry and Pidge

A lot of banter gets thrown around on here (believe it or not.. ), but the size of the oval is fine. I remember watching a game there last year (by memory) when Tarcs made 70-odd and he top edged one for six that landed about where the cones were this time. The ground was a fraction quicker in week one, but that was due to the rain proceeding play during week 2, and the sun drying the ground out post-tea in week 1. But certainly not the difference in the match. Runs on the board in a Final are gold, and you guys proved why you finished minor premier.

I did mention to the NEK boys in attendance that I should say a few congratulatory words to the RP lads on behalf of C&CCA, but the irony of that eventuating was far too great..

Also want to congratulate Rooster & George too for jobs well done, and praise both Clubs for the manner & spirit in which the match was played. Hard, but fair, and with mutual respect. The way cricket should be played.
