[Q.]

Big rumour, where you off to Quichey

To get a cup of tea...

[hawkseye]

love your work

[Scout]

Thats the big question will Harvey play surely someone knows

[Farbs]

My tips Similar to Bro's

Bs: Heccies by 3-4 goals - showed a bit at times against HVFC, especially when they applied pressure in the middle.
As: WOS by 8-10 goals - think they will be too tall up forward for CLG - may depend on how much of it Greeny gets across half back, and if Harvey plays, but from what I saw from WOS in the Qual final, I think if their midfielders get plenty of it and deliver to their tall forwards, then they should win comfortably.

Well if he copped the champagne bottle last Friday night before the Hope Valley game and had to have stitches, you are supposed to have two weeks off after stitches, so that would mean he wouldn't be available till Grand Final at the earliest.

But then again, if I was playing I would be going to CLG expecting him to play. CLG are more than a one-man team anyway, so surely WOS wouldn't really care.

i would expect him to play as well..but dont kid yourself..wos would love the leading goalkicker in the comp with 86 to NOT be playing rather than playing..power fwds like that not only give confidence to the team they also get some direction back into the way the team plays..

Colonel Light Gardens vs Westminster OS

It's no secret who the rest of Division 6 would like to see win here, there's something oddly satisfying about seeing the money fall...I mean, mighty fall. Money, umm, many times we have seen a minor premier bundled out in straight sets with weight of expectation sitting heavy on their shoulders. The Lions will be the team mon...mostly feeling the pressure come first bounce.

And yet, all the talk is of Harvey. I got word he wasn't going to play for the rest of the year, but dismissed it as a bluff. Who will all this attention distract though? Harvey himself, the rest of his team (he does have a team, right?), or will it affect the Dragon camp? I think Westminster will be very focused and very confident after a convincing semi-final win. CLG not so. Their three losses this year have come against the two sides remaining in the competition and last week's semi final would have raised doubts in the back of some minds at Mortlock Park.

The best defender in Div 6, Hooper, will go to the leading goalscorer and will do the job on him, he leads a tough back six that killed the Hounds last week. A salivating battle out of the middle ensues with a perfect day today bringing perfect conditions tomorrow. The stoppages will provide exciting contests as ruckmen from both sides give their small blokes great use of the ball. Good taps and clean clearances will be defining, but neither midfield will give them up easily. Good rotation and fresh legs will then prove important. Westminster then have many targets up forward, with several good marking options and crumbers that read the ball really well. Colonel Light Gardens' defence is strong, but can they shut them all down and for how long.

I don't think either midfield will dominate, but the difference could be in how effective they are in bringing the ball forward. Westminster's confidence coupled with plenty of recent game time could give them the edge here. If they do not tire and switch off I can see them winning this comfortably. Hopefully, with conditions perfect, we'll see a skillful game. Dragons by 24 points.

Looks like I'm going to this game. Zedman, you gonna be there hiding in the shadows?

Great wrap Q

[scottroo]

huge game tommorow, great weather, should be an absoulute cracker of a game, can not wait, quichey 90 percent of clubs spend money mate, if we spend more then hope valley and hectoville ill eat my own sack

[Scout]

Quichey u did not fail to impress well done.. I think the legs will be the key and if WOS have already used them up. Harvey will play and for this reason I will go the leading team all yearv CLG by a whisker.

WOS have to shut the run down and I am not sure they will on the other side of the coin if they get it in quick to there fwds who are dangerous they might kich enough.

Overall a great yr by both clubs but glory for only one

[Scout]

Scotty in your balanced opinion rate the spending pre club from least to most.

[scottroo]

from colonel light

[Scout]

Ok cloak and dagger time will Harvs play I say no...also heard Conway was out of WOS not sure how true

[zedman]

Looks like I'm going to this game. Zedman, you gonna be there hiding in the shadows?

yes i will be mate..after half time probably..nice wrap on the game as well

fwiw..i saw wos throw away a big lead v hv..havent seen clg but they must be pretty good to finish top..if the leading goalkicker plays i think clg will win by a whisker, home ground advantage in the last 1/4 will be vital..dont write them off from one losing final and it was a close game all day..they werent spanked by hv..their form has been top shelf before that although they give the impression of being a group of good players rather than a great team..are wos hungry enough ??

goodwood v s/north at goodwood is very tempting as well quichey
