Final round - this shapes as an intriguing encounter.
Wesley opting for their smaller Prahran ground to try and counter Xavier's great running game.
Key matchups to watch this week?
Croft v Noonan - Two of the titans going head to head. Both would have to be leading their sides B&F and will likely line up at CHF and CHB respectively for the APS team - super clash.
Chaplin-Birch & Smith - The two FF's have banged through more than 60 goals between them in the APS and only trail Tilly Yaman for the Dan Rush (57 APS goals in 2003) APS goal kicking title. Whoever gets the bigger bag will have put their side in with a big chance.
Sands v Sanfillipo - Battle of the Sans. Two key paymakers that will gather plenty of possessions. Both can be electric yet undisciplined - both are vital to their team's success.
Corp v Lees - Both have had impressive seasons and will likely be near each other on the day. Corp has slotted regular goals, Lees carries the ball with the best of em (aka Scully, Curnow, Sargent)
Wesley have a distinct advantage in size. They are honest and have the home ground and fresh after a week off.
Xavier have a star studded line up, they are the fastest team in the comp and are averaging more than 100 points per game this season.
Look for young guns Hannebery, Sibosado, Thomas and O'Sullivan to carve up around the ground and provide too many headaches for the Wesley heirachy.
My tip.... Xavier by 20 points in a tense encounter!
