State of Origin Series XVIII Round 5: Vic Country vs Vic Metro at Crowlands Recreational Reserve

[Kennedy Parker]

Here we go, this is the most cut-throat match of Series XVIII with Vic Country going head to head with Vic Metro. Vic Country have had two losses in their three games to date, but a big win against South Australia puts them in an advantageous position with a decent percentage. For Vic Metro, the equation is simple, they have two wins and a win or draw will mean they make the final with a chance to repeat their success from three years ago.

Courtesy of Falconista, the circumstances needed to make the final are as follows.​

Players To Watch - Vic Country
Tigerturbulance - following an ignominious benching against the Allies, Turbo will be fired up to kick a bag of goals and bounce back to form.
Pickitt - gathered 26 disposals against the Allies and was one of the Counts stars in the last game.
Headless - Everybody is wondering if THIS is the game where the non-contributor finally makes a contribution

Players To Watch - Vic Metro
okeydoke7 - the superstar veteran has shaken off a sputtering finish to S35 at full forward and rejuvenate himself with a stunning run of form in the midfield.
gab213 - the reigning Fred Medalist has been a constant threat up forward for Metro, kicking big bags and standing up a critical moments.
Sun Ra - gathered 20 disposals and kicked a goal in Round 4 to help Metro to a close win against SA.

Good for plane-watching and stocking up on Dr Pepper + cinnamon chewing gum, but that's about it.
