Diggers have spirit.
Horsham United, the club that has been standing in the bottom half of the ladder from many years have done the impossible and turned their finals chances around. United, a.k.a Diggers, are currently sitting 4th on the ladder although beating the 3rd and 1st teams on previous occasions. The season has been intense with finals only a kick away, it seems. Nhill collectively knocked Horsham off the top of the ladder last week after beating them by a comfortable 37 points. This ladder change late in the season hurt the Demon’s but they will have to just hope Nhill lose one before Finals. The Diggers beat Nhill but lost to the Demon’s by a goal last time they met.
United play 3rd placed Ararat this Sunday in what has been named Match of the Round by some few. The Diggers, at home, won by 5 points last time they battled the Ararat Rats in a very fierce battle. Both teams are hoping for a win this week and both teams need it. If the Diggers win, they will have the same amount of premiership points as Ararat but will still be 4th on the ladder due to percentage. If Ararat win, they move 2 games clear of the Diggers possibly stopping them from entering a top 3 place come finals time, forcing them to win every game throughout the final series. They will also have to do well as they battle Nhill the next week in a game tipped to the Tigers. Ararat will have to just concentrate on each game from here on in if they wish to become a serious threat in Finals.

Yeah he has an ankle injury but come finals time he will make a big difference to the side as he's missed a few games this year due to playing Seniors and now injury.

Scotty, the United boys seem a bit cocky heading into the Sunday blockbuster, your thoughts?
After last time, I guess there are a few of us who are expecting a win. Footy is a very weird sport which can go either way at times so I guess we shouldn’t get too far ahead of ourselves. The boys are keen to play the Rats but they themselves, like the Rats, know it will be a hard battle.
Sitting 4th on the ladder after a shaky start, you must be proud of the boys?
No doubt. The team this year has welcomed new additions to the playing side and the coaching side. I suppose we don’t have the greatest depth at the present moment but we are just taking it one day at a time, one game at a time. This has to be the best year of footy that any of the boys have every played in and we need to use that to our advantage. We are all mates off the track and it helps in a social game such as footy.
What have you got to say about the controversial incidents against Minyip-Murtoa last week?
I guess I am in no position to go into any detail but what I will say is, it was just a bit of fun. We are happy no injuries were published after the melee but it was after the game and not during play which is a god thing in retrospect.
What do you think about the run home for United?
With 4 games left of the season including this Sunday, I think we should do pretty well. We have Ararat obviously, followed by Stawell away. I think the boys will get up against the Warriors although they are underdogs themselves. We have got to play it safe before finals season to make sure we keep everyone fit and healthy and we can do well. This is followed by our 2nd bye which is very handy near the end of the season. Warracknabeal put up a good fight last time but at home the boys should get the job done. I, myself, will not be playing this game or the first week of finals. But the boys should do the job if they play at their best ability.
Who are your tips for the finals?
Being bias, I think it will be Nhill vs. Horsham United. I just think that with Horsham woe’s hurting them and Nhill’s form at an all-time high, the Diggers will sneak up into the second position. However, if United were out of the finals, Horsham should be in the big game with Nhill. Two very strong teams who always put on a great show.

Nah just williamson that i no of!! U dont think ararat have there chance in makin the granny this yr??

Rats have as good a chance as anyone of making the Granny with a full strength side IMO. I watched the Demons/Rats game a few weeks back and Ararat had no Williamson and played a crap game and still only lost by 5 goals so it's more even than people make out. They just aren't consistent enough yet but once they play to their potential should be a top 2 team from the few games I've watched of them.

Not really. I guess you could say the Diggers and Rats are on level terms. But after recent form, i can't see you guys knocking off either Nhill or Horsham. They are just too big of a powerhouse duo. If you guys beat Nhill next week, i will change my mind but my thoughts stay how they are at the moment
Do you play mate?

Obvious from anybody who lives in Ararat I'd think.
Think I'll come down and have a look on Sunday cause it sounds like it could be one of the best games of the season.
