[Phantom Gossiper]

Well here we are, after months of dedication from pre-season in the extreme heat to the bitterly cold wet winter evenings. The hopes and aspirations of big things to devasting injuries. From thrilling wins and the highest highs, to the heartbreaking losses and disappointments. Achieving personal milestones, celebrating the success of your team and battling on when times got tough.

After 17 rounds, 85 games and 134 days since the first bounce way back in Round 1, we have reached the end of the minor round - something that felt oh so far away and a distant thought for most of the year. For some sides tomorrow evening will put to an end the season and a moment to reflect on the year that was and what could've been. Emotions will be mixed - from relief to disappointment.

For the rest of the sides, they'll carry on into finals, continuing their quest for the holy grail, to reach that pinnacle that they've strived for all season, that thing that drives all players in some way - that one thing that is on everyones mind but no one dare speak of it for fear it disappears into the wind.. The Premiership. Not only that, but for clubs the opportunity to receive something just as important and great - promotion. Suddenly all those tough sessions back in summer during pre-season and those nights on the track where you questioned your interest enthusiasm, and consdered what you could've been doing seems a distant memory but oh so worth it.

Mawson Lakes v Angle Vale: Two sides that will draw curtains on 2014 tomorrow, both will be disappointed with how their season has panned out, particularly Mawson Lakes whose efforts to fly under the radar has seen them crash and burn for flying to low. A season that promised so much for the Lakes has delivered little. Losing Travis Uern during the season hurt, but the shining lights have been the years of Mark Chilvers and Craig Schapel. For Angle Vale it has been a very long and hard fought season, well documented during the year and at times struggling to field sides. But the Owls have fought on gallantly, and should be proud to see out the season tomorrow. Back down to 7 to rebuild, but a taste of what's required in 6 should hold the Owls in good stead for the future. Mawson Lakes comfortable winners in this clash.

Mitchell Park v Blackfriars: As with Angle Vale, Mitchell Park have had a difficult season, after a losing a raft of players during the off season, the Lions were reduced from 3 sides to 1. A uniting of forces with the struggling Flinders Uni proved to be benefiial for both parties, and from an outside point of view has proven to be successful. Proud club with a rich history, Mitchell Park have copped their tough losses as well as anyone could hope for and come out on the other end with heads still held well high. Blackfriars will take no risks in this clash with the minor premiership firmly secured. It's been an outstanding season for the Hounds, who were not on the radars or many early or during the season, but have quietly gone about their business and built up well heading towards finals. A side that is unselfish and plays for each other, full of contributors, i'm sure BOS have always had faith in themselves and now it seems so do the neutral spectators. Massive month of finals approaches for the Hounds.

Rosewater v Central United: The big story for this game will be if Bain and Williams can both knotch up the 100 goals. Rosewater will be desperate for a win and a big win to regain that slipped confidence, and give themselves every chance of snatching that double chance from Ingle Farm. Central United has had an up and down season, and just when they appeared to be making their move on the 5 disaster stuck. Since that moment it appears to have created a resolve around the group and the results reflect that. Danger game for Rosewater in the battle of the 'Dogs, a win for Central United will see them finish 7th and head into Summer full of optimism for next year.

Ingle Farm v Lockleys: So much on the line for both these sides. The Farmers have dropped their last 3 and fallen from the perch at the top of the ladder to find themselve in a fight for the double chance. A home final is still a possibility, and the final home game for the season in front of a big crows - Ladies Day, Sponsors Day and a triple header - the 'Dogs will be eager to bounce back heading into finals and let everyone know they mean business. Lockleys will be fighting for their lives tomorrow, lose and their season is over - win and they give themselves a chance of getting back into the 5. Nothing to lose and everything to play for, the 'Dees will come out hard and full of run, and expect them to through everything at Ingle Farm. A cracking clash is certain and this is why I vote it the 2nd best match of the round.

West Croydon v Fitzroy: Match of the round. Fitzroy the giant killers knocked off Rosewater last week to strengthen their hold on 5th place, with their major players beginning to up the ante, the 'Roys are not to be underestimated and have the cattle capable of beating any side. Should the Lions lose, they rely on the Ingle Farm result to go their way to stay in the 5. West Croydon will be desperate to hold onto 2nd place and set up a home final for their A & B grade next week. The Hawks have flexed their muscles over the past month and shown they are the real deal and a side to beat. As with Fitzroy, a lose to the Hawks will leave them relying on the Ingle Farm result to keep 2nd. Firepower a plenty up forward not dissimilar to Fitzroy, this promises to be a high paced, physicalshoot out between the two sides, neither side will want to leave their fate in the hands of another game.

Ever since from memory age 3 every time my Dad or I drove under that bridge which was nearly daily as we have a post box at IF we blast the horn. Give it a try, super reverberating echo that frightens the shitski out of anyone near there. Its one of the best things about Ingle Farm

Not sure where you get your VERY misguided info from. Shoc's meetings are with Edwardstown who appear to have hit another financial crisis, a merge maybe that would have them back in Div 2. Mitchell Park and Flinders Uni trained together at the den last night under the new lights with around 50 players participating. That's a lot more than 4 light towers. MP will be in Div 7 next year with 2 teams.

[marbles]

what would shocs have to gain from merging with them yankman?

[Footy Chick]

an oval and clubrooms...der...

Fantastic news Yank! All the best moving forward, I look forward to Mitchell Park growing strong again and reigniting the infamous Ingle Farm v Mitchell Park and PG v Morell rivalry on more even terms!

[Phantom Gossiper]

who else is IF resting ??? i dont read sporting pulse

Are you serious?! So much on the line for both Ingle Farm and Lockleys you think the Farmers would rest players if they didn't need to?

Any changes to our lineups are and always have been forced changes - as for who those changes may be, well i'll leave that up to those interested enough to do the simple research

[marbles]

an oval and clubrooms...der...

yep sure sacred heart come take over our club - have the lot, take the oval take the rooms, we'll just move out - edwardstown no more

anyways i figure when mitchell park and flinders uni merge to become the Tonsley Crabby Lions, one clubs facilities will be vacant, and sacred heart can gank theirs

[Q.]

SHOC-Edwardstown has a nice ring to it... Worked for PHOS Camden

I am led to believe SHOC need a facility next year and Towns are cactus, not to mention that Towns have recruited not only players but some very intelligent people over the years from SHOC and maybe the karma bus has come around. From SHOC's point of view they get 2 more teams and 6 extra junior teams currently in MSJFL. Mitchell Park sports and social club have a council lease until 2017 and we intend to use full advantage of it Crabs or not. 2016 is also when the commencement of our new $2million complex is starting and we are more than keen to be there when it is completed.

[Yank Man]

So, moving on, good luck to all teams tomorrow in their quest to play finals. Personally I don't think the ladder will change but stranger things can happen when the pressure is on.
