Is that a given Damo as to where the GF will be played - sunny coast if the Roos win, GC if Palmy win?

nooas wins it will be at fishermans road. palmy win and it will be down the coast

fair to say if maroochy didn't have 20 plus blokes heading to zillmere to cheer on nambour on saturday, they would all be in noosa cheering them on to beat palmy.

Guess there will be a first for everything! If granny played on goldy have been told it will be at surfers or cooly as the phc clubs didnt want to prop up neafl clubs when the funds generated would be dearly wanted at our own clubs.

i would be surprised if the granny was played at cooly

 

[exogenesis]

whats surfers like as a club, trying to shortlist somewhere to play from Melbourne as im moving to gold coast

Lets hope both Nambour and Noosa win - Maroochy can take credit for both in a small way

 

[damochandler]

i think they would play the grand final at the biggest and best available venue down the coast. that's either broadie or southport. car parks and broadie will always get a big crowd in there

Am heading to Weyba rd sat. Fever pitch. Big congrats to mathews, brewster and Isles and Noosa afc in general. Not being nit picking but Horn, Bloom, Zieldler, Pearson in 2s all won respective medals last year. If Palmy win Granny to be played at Surfers! And maroochy if Noosa get up. Agree with switching play all those match ups are going to be massive, add the hards, hewatt and Isles Mcintick Mills to the midfield going head to head. Trompf is a proven competitor, will need help, not sure who back up is, Noosaboy any clus. And like round 1 will be wet muddy and hard as f$@k. Former collingwood listed player Damien Lyon to pick up Brewster held him to 1 maybe 2 goals when they met at Palmy, and I would bet to see an Ianson and round drop in hole. No idea who will pick up drake? Cant wait, this is what footy is about and the best news is whatever the result on sat, if they are good enough to meet again in a fortnight totally different result, guaranteed. Good luck to Hawks v Magpies, will be interesting to see if Hawks can prevail with a 10 goal win again, or if Maggies will turn last weekend around and run Hawks of feet.

Trompf is a key kwhit.no doubt about that.Such a competitor and a crowd favourite also.Always rises to the occasion but Round and L`lanson more than proven also at this level.I think tim storrer will provide the back up for Trompfy and I`d like to see Angel Duke or even a Riley Buntain have a crack in their also at some time.Be very interesting at selection tomorrow night.Noosa have plenty of smalls so I`d say one or two of them will exit for trompf and Buntain.As switching play said,will be a cracker in any conditions.Both teams have gun onballers,Brewster a key for noosa up forward and drake a key at either end.I did have concerns about Noosas` defence early on in the season but they have been outstanding.Lets hope the weather comes good and i`m sure it will be one to remember.Massive stakes with a GF on either coast plenty to play for.My tip;Noosa by 5 goals.

Yeah be great to see nambour go 4 on the trot smy.Amazing effort regardless of standard.You can only beat whats there in front of you.Would love to see them back in our comp` in the future.We always had great rivalry with them back in the `90s.

Good point kwhit.Great opportunity for PHC clubs who are not involved in the last day and in this case finals to cash in and earn some much needed revenue.Why give it to a State league club? I reckon surfers would be a terrific venue for a GF and know that the Noosa faithfull would certainly make the effort to attend,as they did in 2006 at Carrara.Always something exciting about the Goldy regardless of what age you are.

Is DJ Todd heading down to Zillmere?

 

[noosaboy]

wasnt Dobson the runner up?

Equal with cubby i think speedy.Good footballer dobson.Was huge against noosa in the 2006 GF.I heard he also won the reserves league medal in the State league last year.Is the difference between the two comps that great?

Thanks for bringing that crap day up mate Was one of the stupidest scheduling weekends of footy I have ever seen in 30 years of football

Agree re playing the match at a PHC venue - dumb to do otherwise IMO.

 

[smy1305]

Is DJ Todd heading down to Zillmere?

Was going to ask the same re "Biggest Loser" John Morrall. He must be gutted that he is missing out on all this free publicity to push his personal training business? Might he provide a free "1 on 1" with some fatty from the Noosa crowd at 1/2 time?

 

[smy1305]

Mate - whats the ground like up there? Should I wear the footwear of choice at Noosa - thongs (expensive ones of course) or put the footy boots on to hear the coaches speak this week?

 

[damochandler]

we will know on saturday night who the host will be

 

[damochandler]

noosa winners by 25 points. fishermans road would be the venue i would say. must have been a wet day up there today

 

[smy1305]

Very wet - rained all Friday night and Saturday morning. Was a good solid game though - PBC did not disgrace themselves esp with Drake going off KO'd in the 2nd. Noosa too strong in the conditions - may be a little more suspect on a dry day against a fast side IMO.

 

[kwhit]

Fantastic contest yesterday! Have to say Noosa's game plan was sensational, implemented very very well in shocking conditions. A very willing contest, hard and tough, very proud of the palmy boys but were beaten by a better side.Brewster was a standout, took 5 or 6 contested grabs in appaling conditions, and didnt miss. Fingers crossed the boys can get over next weekend and will be a huge granny between the two best sides imo. Fingers crossed for a dry track. Well done to Noosa and there supporters for sticking it out in rubbish conditions.

 

[smy1305]

didn't seem to have the feel of a final Kwhit I thought - maybe bc the conditions were so poor and those Noosa ferals never really got going.

How did Drake pull up in the end? Big loss for PBC.

Your skipper was very good - had a crack all day. In fact the side never gave up I felt. Noosa are well drilled.

 

[kwhit]

Agree the weather robbed everone of a clean fast hard game but given the conditions it was still a pretty good standard. If palmy get over sandgate this week they would want to pray for good weather as I think noosa s game plan in the wet is much better than palmy's. Anyway like they say, one week at a time, need to get over the hawks then worry about the following week. Drake will be ok, came back to the ground afterwards which was positive. Not sure what the league policy on concusion is? if he is available this week. Fingers crossed. Gus Munro has been terrific all year, love him to stay but should really look at state league, as he is more than capable.

 

[damochandler]

where are they playing next weeks game

Think they just have alot more bigger, stronger bodies TBH. They aren't really quick (not dead slow either in the SMY mould but there isn't a soft footballer among them. Every bloke can win his own footy and hit bodies hard.
Brewster was the big difference - a FF who can klunk marks like that and kick goals from the 50 arc is invaluable.
Thought Bova was great as well - doesn't make errors and Cubby and Matthews just keep going at their own speed. Great players. Good to see the Duke twins still kicking around and holding their own - fantastic clubmen.

 

[noosaboy]

Terrific contest at Weyba rd on Saturday.Noosa able to answer any challenge thrown at them with brewster up forward the absolute difference.Matthews,isles and brew all in and under as usual but so were the hards boys,Munroe and horn.Just didn`t have that big key forward.Conditions certainly suited the tigers as Palmy like to chip it around and find targets which was hard to do in such heavy going.Skipper bovalino was outstanding mopping up across half back and i thought noosas` small forwards in Smith and Mills were busy.I`d expect palmy to knock over Sandgate to reach what should be a classic GF.The week off this week invaluable for the tigers after such a hard slog.

Anyone give the Hawks a chance this week? PBC and Sandgate 1 all this year, might be closer than most think. Sandgate seemed to be written off weeks ago on here, but still hanging in there.

Noosa no injuries again, and week off, you would think will be very hard to beat in the big one.
