williamstowns 2's should absolutley annihalate elthams 2's, unless something goes wrong or eltham bring in Darryl Strawberry. Damn ringers.
Stewie40 do you have a job? How do you have the time to come up with the scores of this round for all grades!

Boys,
My tips for this weeks first round of finals football for D3.
I'll see if I can find some cliche's...
They have everything to play for....the season starts now...
Willy to smash the Hawks. Too fast, too strong, big ground will worry the Hawks and Willys run off half back should be the difference. I actually think it will be close but I hate everyone and everything associated with The Hacks that I want to see them retain their form of the last 10 years and miss out again...let's hope it's straight sets!
Willy have been primed for this game for 8 weeks now and they should unleash their fury on the Hacks.
The big questions are..."How many pies will Jackomos eat during the game?" and "How many beers will Lauletta drink after the game?"
Oh, and there is one other question..."Can Hacks coach Tyson get any fatter and any less popular?"
The House seems to have the edge over the Turtles winning recent encounters easily, especially in big games and finals. The House to have a few big names return including the elbow wielding captain...
Elthams season has run off the rails of late and Coach Hollywood needs to have a cold hard look at himself as a leader on and off the field and especially during matches with his abuse of his team and the officials.
I think the House should get up comfortably over the Turtles.
In the Magoos, Willy to smash the arrogant cocky Eltham magoos while The House and UHSOB to draw and play extra time. Can't pick it...The House by 1 point just to piss off Boycey!

Preview
Cy's by 28 over Hawthorn (Wong will fire and Hawthorn will be hard pressed to stop him. May be a shootout if conditions are dry, but wet conditions will only strenghten Willy's resolve)
The House by 58 over Eltham (Unless the Turtles have got back their star players they wil not get within a bull's roar of Powerhouse. Edoo and Sosic to fire and set them up for a Grand Final tilt)
Good luck to all involved and congrats to all four clubs that made the finals.

From an unbiased observer the game was a massive battle. Neither team could really gain any ascendancy with the ground conditions making it a slogfest. Neither team really deserved to win or lose the game from what i could see.
The most dissapointing part i thought was that the umpire pretty much decided the game with 10 seconds to go with a ticky-touch free kick to Eltham after keeping his whistle away all game. It was a great kick to win it but you hate seeing the umpires determine the game!! Well done to Eltham though.
CY's V Hawks was a good tough game. Hawks inaccurate kicking cost them bigtime. Umpires called a tough game and let most things go. Next week will be a cracker but i think the Hawk's will just get up to give them another shot at the CY's.

After half time, CY carried the ball more and players ran forward and provided more options. Hawk forwards ran out of puff and needed pinpoint delivery or more support after ball went to ground. Great contest but CY better on the day. Nothing to do with inaccurate kicking. That's just an excuse.
Have to agree footy fan, it was enjoyable to watch, some interesting banter in the crowd , and an even tussle, umpires pocketed the whistles and let the game go, thought there was an excessive amount of head highs and big House ruckmen was interferred with all day long at boundary throw ins, by the way, Hollywood , who contuinually professes to be a clean player, nice right to the crown jewels of the big ruckman. Thought with around 6 minutes or so to go and the scorebaord reading house by 18, that it was all over for Eltham, but kept on attacking and attacking, certainly one of the most technical free kicks I have seen, taking into account what went through to the keeper all day. House undoubtedly not fielding the same team I seen against Willy. Thought, Burnside, 12, 21, 30, Taylor and Sosic nearly won the game for them. Also losing Boland ( best full back, who played at CHF) early in the game and 11 not producing what I have seen him capable of was the difference.
Won't get to see any more, but I bet Willy are happy they don't have to front up to the house and the Captain would have come back in all fired up. Eltham may have played their Grand Final and think the team everyone loves to hate will be joining Willy in D2.

Apart from the first quarter, hawthorn kicked the first goal or two in each of the other quarters, then tapered off toward the end of each Q. It looked to me like to me like Willy had the superior fitness, finishing off each quarter the stronger. It was a hard, tough game with plenty of skill errors from both teams, mainly due to the pressure. In many ways, the result of the prelim will be decided by which team recovers better during the week and fronts up fresher next Sunday. Although I think Hawthorn are the better team, Eltham are a huge chance if they have the legs.

Agreed mate. No excuses. Hope to do it again in a couple of weeks but first need to get over Eltham.

Team Captain
Couldn't agree more. If Eltham hold their heads and run out each quarter to the end, they might have enough in the tank to get over the Hacks*.

Good effort DgradeAmmo. Always fun to debate teams of the year.
Would be good to know B&F results from clubs when they happen.
Thanks Texyboy. I did read that after posting.
Interesting that Dgradeammo couldn't sneak Mahony into his side.

Hey DgradeAmmo,
A few flaws in your side as selected.
Mahoney from Elsternwick not selected?
Wells (Monash) and Sosic (Power House) both had average years. It seems you selected them on reputation rather than actual form.
You selected the Wells (centre half back) and Rutherford (centre) both from Monash. Are you on drugs? Two players in key positions from a team that failed miserably in living up to their own hyped up expectations (and missed the finals) in the team of the year!!
You must play for them!
