Scotch, if it was Dry.
So on that basis, I will go for Beaumaris.

No one with a refined taste would ever mix Scotch with dry.
Beaumaris are through to the 2016 VAFA Premier B Grand Final and will play St Bedes Mentone Tigers next Saturday at Sportscover Arena.
The Sharks defeated Old Scotch 16. 13 (109) to 12. 3 (75).

Funny you say that again (for at least the 3rd time in the past 2 weeks). Thought Scotch were harder at it, just got cut up when they turned it over.

Having the grand final at Sportscover Arena might favour Beaumaris, because of the wind factor and also the playing surface, which is not that flash compared to Trevor Barker Oval, Sandringham. And if it rains next Saturday, that could be an advantage to the Sharks as well.

I'm a bit of a predictor. No they were softer. Was the difference in the end.
The VAFA instead of putting up an increase in admission prices for the finals series to pay for their representative matches and their 'holidays' in New Zealand and Ireland, could have the money better spent on the clubs in most need of financial assistance.
Oh, and getting a new scoreboard at Sportscover Arena as well. The current scoreboard which has been used since 1986 could go on the blink sooner rather than later. In fact the worst nightmare for the VAFA could be if the scores are really close next Saturday (ie scores level, 28 min in the last quarter, scoreboard goes off without warning, and there is no backup plan in place to restart the scoreboard).

How many times has that scoreboard gone on the blink in the past 30 seasons Jase?

Worked ok yesterday, but the ground is a disgrace. They even had workers filling in holes before the 19's game.
GF at Trevor Barker, brings Tigers into favouritism IMO.
Tigers were already favourites after last weeks result.
Sat Sportscover
The weather forecast could be a big factor in teams selection on Thursday night, with showers increasing on Saturday. And that could favour Beaumaris.

Why Jase, do you think that would favour Beaumaris?
Ah yes. Sharks do like water. Nice pick up Jase.
If it's wet as expected on Saturday, the softer surface would more suit Beaumaris because the Sharks are not as quick compared to St Bedes Mentone Tigers, who are lighting fast on dry tracks. However, don't be surprised to see two things happen on Premier B Grand Final Day:
1) The final lineup of both teams won't be known until virtually the last minute, because I would imagine both Beaumaris and St Bedes Mentone will be waiting to see just how wet it would be underfoot before bringing in the players who can adapt to the greasy surface.
2) If St Bedes Mentone win the toss, they could do what they did back in 2008 by kicking against the breeze (ie if it's a 5-6 goal wind going to the Social Club End).

They could also do what they did back in 2008 and bring Luke Beveridge back to coach the GF couldn't they?
