Well we are finally here Finals time everything that happen in the regular season is forgotten and the team who wants it more will prevail... now for the tips!

Reserves
Elimination match
Forrestdale vs Rossmoyne -
Not really a advantage for forrestdale here being at the opposition ground and previous match saw them lose to rossmoyne by only 7 points but I feel the stronger team will be forrestdale and get up by 3 goals

Reserves
Qualifying match
Piara vs Noranda -
Last time they met ended in a draw both teams want revenge but Noranda might have a few league players playing which will be a big help, travel and smaller ground will favor piara and there squad is strong through league & reserves. Piara to advance through by 1 goal

League
Elimination match
Rossmoyne vs Roleystone -
Well last weekends game was a preview for this week and wasn’t much of a match by the looks, Rossy had there strongest team and Roley had a couple missing... This week I have a feeling it could be a bit more even but with home ground advantage and reserves at the same ground it’s a big ask for Roley. Rossy to get up by 2 goals

League
Qualifying match
Forrestdale vs Piara -
Piara came off a bye and would be well rested for this big match. Forrestdale had a big win over Noranda, they will be up and about having beating all that faced them. Home ground advantage and not sure how big the crowd will be until later due to league and reserves being split up. Piara have both teams and will want a fast start this week. I Feel a upset here and see piara advancing first 1 goal.

Looking like perfect conditions for the first week of finals. Expecting some good quality contests across the board.

Reserves
Forrestdale vs Rossmoyne
Forrestdale may be the home team, but Rossmoyne with all the advantage of playing at home on the day. Forrestdale have been more consistent, though Rossmoyne got the win last time they played. Could be all down to just who Rossmoyne have available, as i'm aware they have a few handy FIFO players. I'll tip them at home on their big ground by a point.

Piara vs Noranda
Both sides are undefeated in 2020 and the last one between the 2 ended in a draw. I get the feeling there are a few league players who will be qualified for the Hawks and i get the feeling they will just shade the Falcons in this one by a goal.

League
Rossmoyne V Roleystone
Last weeks game didn't quite live up to expectations, with Rossmoyne coming away comfortable winners. Plenty of lessons learned by Roley and I'm tipping a far more even contest this week. That said, Rossmoyne seem to have found another gear since their touch up by Piara and will get the job done in this one on their home deck by 2 goals.

Forrestdale vs Piara
These 2 teams will meet again in a fortnight's time, with this one going along way to establishing favoritism. Forrestdale have been fantastic all year, taking down all who have come before them. I'm expecting a far more even contest this year, with Piara no doubt learning a lot from their first meeting. I'll go an upset in this one and tip Piara by less than a straight kick.

A little cloudy but a mostly sunny day with a top of 22°, a great day for footy.

Forrestdale v Rossmoyne
I think Forrestdale will get up in this contest, I’m sure Rossy have will get a few filtered back with some of the league fifo boys coming back but Forrestdale might push a few colts up also as they just missed the top 4.
Forrestdale by 4 goals

Noranda v Piara
A draw last time they met, the only difference this time is that noranda have qualified more league players. I can’t see noranda winning many games in E1 next year. I’m going Piara in an upset by 3 points

Rossy v Rolly
Well we saw last week that Rossy were too good at home, I’m predicting a similar result but maybe a little closer this time round, I wouldn’t be surprised if Rolly worked what went wrong last week but those blokes up in the hills ain’t the sharpest tools in the shed.
Rossy by 13 points

Forrestdale v Piara Waters
A lot of hype for the first game around but Forrestdale absolutely pulled down Piaras pants and went whack... could be a different story this time tho. Although Piara are coming off a rest from a bye I’m not sure if sometimes thats an advantage or disadvantage. Either way I think this time will be closer and I think Forrestdale will miss a goal after the siren for Piara to win by 5 points.

Good luck everyone this weekend
And for the not so luck ones who don’t get a second chance, enjoy your mad Monday’s.

Reserves
Forrestdale vs Rossmoyne
This one should be a good game, with the last one being a close one in Rossmoynes favour. Rossy May have a few back, but the Falcons may well have a few colts qualified, so there won’t be a huge advantage either way. I’ll go Rossmoyne as it’s on their big oval in a very close one, though I could well be wrong.

Piara v Noranda
Last game couldn’t of been any closer and I get the feeling that this one may well be another close one. As mentioned by just about everyone else, While Piara won’t have the luxury of qualifying league players into their 2’s, the small Forrestdale ground will suit their style of play. I’ll tip them in another close one by 5 points.

League
Rossy V Roley
Rossy seemingly easily got it done over Roley last week and will be full of confidence for the rematch at home. I’m sure Roley will have learned a few lessons, but it won’t be enough to stop the run and carry of Rossmoyne on their big deck. Rossmoyne by 3 goals

Forrestdale V Piara
Have been lucky enough to catch both teams and was very impressed by both. The last game may well have been a non-event but I’m sure Piara will want to make amends in a big way for this one.
Home ground advantage may not reach its full potential until a bit later in the day for Forry, given their reserves and some support are out at Rossmoyne. This one is such a hard one to tip, but I’ll go with Piara in an upset to progress through to the big dance in a fortnight.

Good luck to all teams

Reserves
Forrestdale vs Rossmoyne
This game will obviously depend alot on who is available for each teams league side so could go either way for me. Rossmoyne got the better of Forrestdale last time they met and with the home ground advantage they will be hard to tip against. Rossy by 3 goals.

Piara vs Noranda
2 undefeated teams will go at it here although last time they met Noranda didnt have league players playing.Looking at the results and teams Noranda fielded a very strong league team at 1:05pm last week and because of this i thionk they will win by 4 goals.

League
Rossmoyne vs Roleystone
I agree with above comments on this one it sounds like Roley surrended in the 2nd half and were more worried about this week. They will mcome out much harder and stronger this week and this game will depend alot on who Rossmoyne has available. With the home ground advantage I'll tip Rossmoyne by 8 points.

Forrestdale vs Piara
Forrestdale will be very hard to beat when they have there best team together. Piara on the other hand can play much better than what they showed last time. If Forrestdale have there best 22 then i think it could be a repeat of last time as Piara have injury problems unless they rested alot of players against North beach. Forry by 6 goals.
