Willunga ultimately prevailed by the barest possible margin, 1 point
The result being now Willunga only need to defeat Strath to seal the Minor Premiership and a free pass into the 2nd Semi Final whilst Victor who were looking the goods to finish top only 2 weeks ago have faltered by losing to fellow finalists McLaren and Willunga and now face the in form Creeks who are on a 7 game winning streak in a match that will determine who finishes 3rd and the important double chance. The loser will be consigned to the cut throat Elim final against the dangerous McLaren, which is a very difficult, treacherous and almost certain route to NOT winning the Flag.
All the pressure will be on Victor as the Creeks have basically been out of Top 3 contention all season until now and should have their full compliment to select from next week for only the 2nd time this season. Gonna be a cracking game i'd expect
So Willunga will finish Top if they beat Strath , if not they will drop to 2nd as Mt Compass should account for Yankalilla comfortably so will finish 2nd or Top if Willunga falter
McLaren have basiaclly a trial game against E Bay as a win or lose wont change anything for them as they are consigned for the Elim Final
As mentioned the winner of Victor v Creek match will finish 3rd and the loser playing McLaren next week.
Creek will actually likely fall to 5th if they lose.
All in all it's an incredibly strong top 5 teams and an amazing finals series is ensured

Well picked up Dutchy. The crowd was in perfect position to see this and it certainly looked clearly over the line to us. The camera angle actually makes it look not as bad as it was. Note the boundary ump was not in a position to adjudicate (and made no effort to do so). The victor players were still whining about it after the point was scored.
But the score is up, game is over and they will need to concentrate on making a better start next week. Willunga had a 4 goal lead after only 8 minutes of play before victor managed to stem the flow somewhat. Willunga also kicked the first 2 after quarter time to give them a 6 goal lead before victor switched on.

Yeah the boundary ump was miles away, which was strange as the play was switched by Willunga to his side of the ground so had plenty of time to make good position for that call.

All this whining from SFL supporters saying GSFL has to recruit to be any good but the locals are certainly holding their own.
When was the last time someone kicked 100 in a season in the GSFL?

One could draw the conclusion that he was struggling with it being late in the game, lots of quick transitions and he isn’t in his prime. But when the previous mark was taken he stopped and waited behind that contest rather than getting upfield, so could be a lack of understanding of the job.
(Not meaning to have a dig...good on him for getting out there. Was bloody frustrating given when it occurred though)

Dutchy wrote:Yeah agree he was probably out of gas, do you guys get extra boundary umpires on the bigger ovals? We often get 3 boundary umpires so they share the load across the game with 2 patrolling one side.

Yeh I had a quick look at his history, also notched up his 500th A grade goal over the weekend. Given he's only what 25/26? He has a few years left in him. Keep bagging 80+ a year (barring injuries) and he would have to give 1000 a crack. Historians, any figures on all time GSFL snag kickers? Few players in the 90's would have got their numbers up.

Additionally, any tips for the Mail Medal on Wednesday night? I think Bass will take it home.
