Melbourne for mine playing Perth in the final.

My thoughts exactly

Very good tipping

[mal]

Certainly does look like a Melbourne vs Perth GF series but I wouldn't be surprised if Perth got them.

I had Tassie finishing Top 2 this season but they appear to be going off the boil.

Very Good tipping

Very good chance Guru , Magnificent _Tiger_79 , Doc will be spot on if its MU V PW Grand Final
