Strength in adversity

ot many of the football experts had Adelaide making the finals at the beginning of the year, even with the appointment of new coach Phil Walsh and then especially with the tragic circumstances of Walsh’s death.

have been devoid of on-field success since their back-to-back flags of 1997/98.

The football world seemed accepting of a likely player fade out later in the season.

His ability to keep the group focused has been paramount in getting Adelaide to this position, so much so that he is probably the prime candidate to take over permanently from next season.

However, their strength has actually seen all involved at the club rise above those expectations. They have bonded like never before to not only make the top eight for the first time since 2012, but also be a genuine chance to cause some damage during the finals. Much can still be contributed to Walsh for creating a positive environment around the club where he stamped his authority early and everybody took heed to achieve the ultimate success. The players have a belief in themselves that in past seasons was non-evident. How much the latter part of this year has been ‘stand strong for Phil’ will not be known until everyone comes back next year. But there is hope as this is the beginning for the Crows which

Interim coach Scott Camporeale must also be given plenty of credit given the situation he took over the role even he probably didn’t envisage himself doing.

His calm manner in front of the media has been a breath of fresh air, especially when compared to the stress displayed by some of the other coaches in the competition. At the same time, the outstanding leadership shown by new CEO Andrew Fagan cannot go underestimated. He could not have foreseen the issues he has had to face when arriving at the Adelaide Football Club but he has been a major rock in ensuring the club has moved on. Fagan has endeared himself to all around the corridors of West Lakes but he has also been a voice for the people, which has

THUMBS UP

definitely been welcomed by the fans as well. He and Walsh had a path they wanted to take the club and he has not diverted from that despite the added emotional burdens placed upon him. It was also believed that the continual distraction of Patrick Dangerfield’s contract would deviate focus away from Adelaide’s finals drive and even his own performance. But his own feelings for Walsh and the club have shone through in his irrepressible on-field display throughout the season. While it does look like he will be leaving, there is small optimism that there is still some loyalty within the game and the heartstrings of valued teammates pull him in to finish the job. His professionalism has shone through, which is sure to continue. The Crows may bow out of the finals race as early as this week. Hopefully that is not the case, but the club certainly appears to be on the right track. Where it might have wilted in previous years, most people at the club are determined to achieve the desired outcome and make this a time of happiness and not to wallow in the sadness.

THUMBS Down

Everyone’s aboard the Hayneplane or Haynetrain whichever you want to call it.

Adelaide United Chief Executive Officer Michael Petrillo has shocked all at the club by resigning.

Former NRL star Jarryd Hayne has made the final squad of 53 on the San Francisco roster.

He took club directors by surprise on Tuesday, saying “it was the right time” to hand over the reins but did not elaborate on his reason.

Now he just has to secure to regular position in the 49ers season line-up and that could prove harder than getting on the final roster. The 49ers games will be seen on free-to-air (7Mate) after Channel Seven recently bought the TV rights.

Petrillo was United’s founding CEO in its first A-League season in 2005 before helping to establish North Queensland Fury in 2009. Less than six months later, he was back at the Reds as football director and reappointed CEO in 2014.

All about attitude

layer attitude has been identified as the key to Adelaide’s chances of advancing beyond this week’s elimination final against the Western Bulldogs at the MCG on Saturday night. Their mental focus will clearly be a determining factor in their preparation and assault on this contest as they definitely have the capability. They all need to be switched on from the outset as well and not give away any decided early advantage to the Bulldogs who can dominate a contest with the style of play they have displayed this season. The pressure, especially around goal, displayed in the Crows’ victory over West Coast two weeks ago must be repeated. Exploiting the dangerous options inside forward 50 will prove crucial, particularly with their opponent’s smaller defence. Skipper Taylor Walker has shown he could lead from the front and there has been no greater need for that than this week where he can have a distinct impact on proceedings. Mobile Tom Lynch has been the vital link-man over recent weeks which will be telling here, while big Josh Jenkins appears to have just gained belief in his own abilities and needs to continue out-bodying weaker opponents. Then there is the dynamic duo in Eddie Betts and Charlie Cameron who can create havoc for the Bulldogs and much will rest on both running ragged around goal. Cameron was off the boil last week against Geelong and he is one whose attitude to the contest must be attuned to the task at hand. Ruckman Sam Jacobs can dominate in the air against the leaner body of Tom Campbell, although Bulldogs coach Luke Beveridge could bring back out-of-favour Will Minson to combat the Crows big man. Rebounding defender Brodie Smith (ankle) is the only injury concern for coach Scott Camporeale but his invaluable line-breaking is likely to be there on Saturday night. In their last meeting in round four, the Bulldogs pace hurt Adelaide as their run and spread across Etihad Stadium was blistering and allowed their forwards to enjoy perfect delivery, which was well accepted by Jake Stringer on that occasion. Jack Redpath will also need watching this time around, but the availability of fellow forward Stewart Crameri will affect how the Bulldogs structure their attacking zone. His possible absence will be a plus for the Crows.

Adelaide will know that it has to restrict its opponent’s ball movement, with strong pressure around the ball carrier a given. The likes of Marcus Bontempelli, Jackson Macrae, Luke Dahlhaus, Luke Picken and Mitch Wallis can cut a side apart so limiting their running power is a must. Finals nerves, especially among this young Bulldogs group on the big stage for the first time for many of them, could also play a role. Some of their belief would have been dented as well by last week’s loss to then-bottom side Brisbane so if Adelaide can get on top early half

Footy footnotes One could say the Crows were gracious allowing the retiring Geelong greats to go out winners but really their minds must have been elsewhere missing a golden opportunity to take momentum into the finals and an unanticipated home final at that.

The senior heads of Bulldogs captain Robert Murphy, Matthew Boyd and Dale Morris returning this week will be needed to settle their younger teammates. Playing at the MCG is a bonus for Adelaide as the Bulldogs have only played there on eight occasions since 2011, which is the same number as the Crows. There will be no real home ground advantage for the Victorian outfit, especially if a large number of local fans travel over as expected this weekend.

AFL finals PREVIEW

Second Qualifying Final first Qualifying Final WEST COAST VS HAWTHORN

FREMANTLE VS SYDNEY

Hawthorn has won its past five games against West Coast since the Eagles’ last success by five points at Subiaco in 2012. That was the bizarre match where the Eagles were goalless to half-time but won by five points, 5.21 (51) to 5.16 (46). Since then, the Hawks have won by 25 points at the MCG, 50 points at Subiaco, 20 points at Docklands, 44 points at Launceston and 14 points in round 19 back at Subiaco. The Hawks won that game 13.10 (88) to 11.8 (74) after trailing at every change of ends. Luke Breust finished with three goals while Josh Kennedy kicked four for the Eagles. Overall, the Eagles lead 24 wins to 20 and 12 wins to seven at Subiaco. The Eagles also won two of three against Hawthorn at the WACA. They haven’t met in the major round since 1992 when West Coast won the first elimination final at Subiaco by 13 points. It came a year after their only other two finals meetings. Hawthorn won the 1991 qualifying final at Subiaco by 23 points and the grand final at Waverley by 53 points. The Eagles return to the finals for the first time since 2012 and for the first time under Adam Simpson. Their finals record is 19 wins, 23 losses and a draw. They have won only two of their past seven but both of those two wins were at Subiaco. They have seven wins and three losses from 10 Subiaco finals. Hawthorn is in the finals for the sixth straight season, still well shy of its 13 straight appearances from 1982-94. The Hawks have an astonishing major round record of 50 wins and just 28 losses and have won their past six finals in succession since losing the 2012 grand final. This is a feat that not even the great Hawthorn sides of the 1980s managed to achieve. They are 12-5 in qualifying finals but only 1-2 in Perth where they last travelled for a final in 2010, losing an elimination final to Fremantle.

Fremantle and Sydney meet in the major round for the third straight season. The Dockers won the 2013 second preliminary final by 25 points at Subiaco with Michael Walters scoring three goals. However, Sydney won last year’s first qualifying final at Homebush by 24 points with three goals from Ben McGlynn and Lance Franklin. The Swans led by just five points at half-time but scored four goals to one in a matchwinning third term. Both sides were ultimately beaten by Hawthorn in the grand final. Their only other major round meeting was in the 2006 first preliminary final also at Homebush, when Sydney won by 35 points. Their most recent clash was in round four at Subiaco when the Dockers won by 14 points, 11.8 (74) to 8.12 (60). Matthew Pavlich finished with three goals. Overall, Sydney leads 16 wins to 13 with one draw at the SCG in 2013. At Subiaco, the Dockers lead seven wins to two with Sydney’s only victories coming in 1998 and 2010. Fremantle has another two wins and one loss to Sydney at the WACA. Neither side has kicked 100 points in this fixture in eight meetings since 2010 although 90 points has been reached six times. The biggest margin in the past 19 games between these sides since 2003 is 38 points. Fremantle is enjoying its best run of finals football, having reached September for the fourth straight season. It has played 13 finals matches for five wins and eight losses but has lost the last three in a row. The Dockers are 3-2 in home finals but 1-2 in qualifying finals. Sydney has reached the finals for the sixth straight season, equaling its previous best efforts from 1909-14 and 2003-08. The Swans have 37 wins and 43 losses in finals and have a solid recent record with six wins from their past nine. They are 6-6 in qualifying finals and 1-2 in finals in Perth but they lost their only previous Subiaco final against the Dockers.

Second Elimination Final WESTERN BULLDOGS VS ADELAIDE Saturday 6.50pm, MCG

The Western Bulldogs have won six of their past nine games against Adelaide including their only meeting this season in round four at Docklands. The Dogs won that game by 57 points, 18.17 (125) to 10.8 (68) with six goals from Jake Stringer while Eddie Betts booted four for the Crows. The Bulldogs stretched their lead to 75 points by three quarter-time before the Crows scored five goals to two in the final term. Adelaide’s last win against the Dogs was in round six last year at Docklands when they won by nine points. They last met at the MCG in 2007 when Adelaide won by 38 points. The Bulldogs last beat them there in 2006 but the Crows lead at the ground three wins to two after winning consecutive preliminary finals in 1997 and 1998. They are the sides’ only previous major round meetings. The Crows won those games by two and 68 points and went on to win the premiership in both years. The Bulldogs have reached the major round

after four years on the outer. They have a lamentable finals record with 14 wins and 30 losses including just four wins from their last 15 attempts. The Bulldogs only win from four elimination finals was in 2006 against Collingwood. The Crows have missed finals action the past two seasons. They have 14 wins and 15 losses in finals but just two wins from their past eight. The Crows haven’t won a final at the MCG since 2002, losing their past three. It takes their finals record at the MCG to six wins and six losses. Adelaide has a 7-11 record in finals away from home. Since the 1997 preliminary final against the Bulldogs, the Crows are 0-3 in finals decided by less than a goal. After 40 games against the Dogs, the Crows have 18 wins and 22 losses. Only Collingwood and West Coast have inflicted more losses on Adelaide than the Western Bulldogs.

first Elimination Final RICHMOND VS NORTH MELBOURNE Sunday 2.50pm, MCG

Richmond and North Melbourne meet for the second week in a row although the team the Tigers take on this week will be vastly different from the ‘B’ team the Kangaroos put out at Docklands which lost by 41 points, 16.12 (108) to 10.7 (67). It was Richmond’s first win against North after five straight defeats since winning by nine points at Docklands in 2011. Incredibly, Richmond hasn’t beaten North at the MCG since 2006, losing three and drawing once in 2009 since then. The Roos lead overall at the ground 26 wins to 21 with two draws, the other being in 1966. These two sides were power clubs of the 1970s and met in the 1974 grand final which the Tigers won by 41 points. North has reached the finals in consecutive seasons for the first time since 2007-08. Richmond is in its third straight finals series for the first time since five straight appearances from 1971-75. North has won three of the five finals meetings between these sides including the most recent one, the 1995 second qualifying final, by 30 points. They have never met in an elimination final. Both sides have regrettable recent finals records. North has just three wins from its past 11 finals since 2000. The Tigers have won only two of their past nine since 1982. North is 3-7 in elimination finals and lost six in a row from 1987-2012 before beating Essendon in 2014. Richmond is 2-2 in elimination finals, having failed twice in the last two seasons, including last year when Trent Cotchin infamously kicked into the wind in the first quarter at Adelaide Oval, only to see Richmond trail Port 8.1 to 1.1 at quarter-time. Overall, Richmond leads North Melbourne 83 wins to 70 with two draws. None of the past four games between these sides have been close with the smallest margin being 28 points.

First Semi Final

Second Semi Final

PORT MAGPIES V CENTRAL DISTRICT

EAGLES V WEST ADELAIDE

A very interesting first semi final to kick off week two of the finals, particularly given the respective form-lines from last week. Port started strongly against West, but was wound right in as the game progressed and left flat footed when the Bloods put the accelerator down. Their running brigade, led by Steven Summerton, Kane Mitchell and Sam Colquhoun drove the Magpies forward numerous times but the attack was unable to consistently capitalise on the earlier dominance of possession. Central faced the reigning premier and many expected Norwood to be too strong, but after an even first half, the Bulldogs were exceptional and ended the Redleg era in emphatic fashion. Travis Schiller was given incredible latitude en route to 36 possessions, while having four multiple goal-kickers shared the load in an attack some predicted may struggle in finals without Bryce Retzlaff. Norwood’s exit will undoubtedly have the Parade brains trust working hard over summer to assess the list and look carefully at whether a game plan that was so successful over the past three seasons needs reinventing to allow them to move back into contention. While Port found plenty of the ball last week, some of the disposal through the middle missed targets significantly and Central coach Roy Laird will study the tape to assess the frontal pressure West placed upon the Magpies to force them into errors that gifted the ball to the Bloods. Port will also need to look at its attacking structures and be mindful of not going too tall deep within the forward 50, as some smaller options may mix up the Bulldog defence and hand some momentum back to the Magpies. Central’s rebound from defence has been excellent this season and its ability to spread to space last week was hard to counter, but Port will still look to keep the ball in space to isolate its runners and capitalise on the speed shown in the first half against West. Shutting down some of the Bulldog prime movers will be high on Port coach Garry Hocking’s agenda this week. The space given to Schiller last week was simply too much and he will need to be closely monitored to reduce his influence, while Justin Hoskin continues to slip under opposition guard, particularly when moving through the middle and across half forward. The Achilles heel for Central may be its overall scoring power. Averaging 74 points a game – 10 less than Port – and a defence that concedes four more points a game than Port will throw the impetus onto Laird to find something different in attack to mix things up and throw out the Port defensive match-ups. Their past couple of months have been excellent but it’s difficult to see the Magpies bowing out in straight sets.

A mouth-watering encounter in the western suburbs finals derby, with the Eagles fresh off the opening week finals bye and a rampant West storming into the second semi final after a strong win against the Magpies. The way the Bloods ran right over the top of Port – at one point, outscoring them 67 points to two – was super impressive and testament to just how far West has reinvented its previously defensively oriented style to one that is now the highest scoring in the SANFL. A number of older players have taken their game to higher levels in 2015 and some of their youngsters have been excellent throughout as well, illustrated by Will Snelling – still eligible for school football – finding it 25 times to add to a crucial goal. While it is simplistic to say that much of the game will be won around the midfield, there will be some crucial battles generating from the centre square that will be vital toward deciding the contest. How the Eagles look to counter the likes of Chris Schmidt and Jason Porplyzia will be interesting. Magarey Medal runner-up Angus Rowntree may even be deployed by Eagle mentor Michael Godden to go with one of the two to create almost an offensive role that throws the impetus onto the respective Blood to take a more defensive style into their game, negating their own influence. Jared Petrenko is one that West coach Mark Mickan will place plenty of time into, as his ability to work through the middle and into attack has been vital all season for the Eagles and he can turn a game in a few minutes if left unchecked. Marc Borholm has been a pillar of strength in ruck for the Eagles and his duel with Ryan Willits looms as a battle royale. The latter can push into attack and create a menace, particularly if he rotates with Justin Hardy, so Godden may aim to drag the Bloods big men more into defence to expose them around faster, smaller forwards while also having Borholm act as a secondary attacking option. Containing the twin Eagles towers of Andrew Ainger and Michael Wundke will be critical for the Bloods and Adam Hartlett and Tom Keough should share the respective defensive roles there. There is a temptation to pick West, but the overall form of the Eagles this season tips the balance their way to march into the 2015 grand final.

Socceroos are like ‘machines’: Cahill

occeroos superstar Tim Cahill says he and his teammates have become ‘machines’ who know exactly where the others will be at all times.

Cahill scored Australia’s last two goals in Tuesday night’s 3-0 win over Tajikistan in Dushanbe but could barely contain his delight about how they were created. His first, in the 74th minute, was a clinical finish off a Ryan McGowan cutback while his second, in injury time, was a product of a near-telepathic understanding he says he has forged with winger Tommy Oar, a second-half substitute who provided him with a pinpoint cross from the left. “Tommy Oar comes on and he doesn’t even have to look at me,” Cahill said. “Time and time again he knows that I make my run from the second (defender) to the middle,

that I don’t run in front of the first defender. That’s my game.

“I was buzzing, and I said to Tommy that’s not the first time he has done that. “Seeing us now we are like machines, the way we run. “It’s the football that we wanted to play. We have come here knowing why we have won.” It all holds Australia in good stead as it look towards next month’s qualifier against secondplaced Jordan. A win there and the Socceroos will move five points clear on top of Group B, an almost unassailable position that would put them within touching distance of the next phase of qualification. But Cahill holds some unhappy memories of the last time the national side visited Jordan

Enduros bring out the young guns D

unlop Series young guns will step up to the V8 Supercars Championship this weekend, fulfilling co-driver duties at the first round of the PIRTEK Enduro Cup.

Bathurst 1000 crown.

Impressive Dunlop Series campaigns this year have seen Cameron Waters, Jack Le Brocq, Macauley Jones, Chris Pither and Ant Pedersen all recruited to co-drive with several of the top fancies during this endurance season – which kicks off this weekend at the Sandown 500.

“There’s definitely added pressure because you don’t want to destroy Chaz’s chances by doing something stupid. I’m there to do the job the team want me to do and if they tell me to drive faster I will, but I won’t be taking any undue risks.

Prodrive Racing Australia prodigy and series leader Waters will partner Chaz Mostert in the Pepsi Max Crew Falcon. With Mostert currently sitting in second in the V8 Supercars Championship standings, Waters will carry Mostert’s championship hopes through the endurance season and help him defend his 2014 Supercheap Auto

“I’m really looking forward to going into the enduros with a genuine podium chance,” he said.

“I ultimately want to help Chaz challenge for the championship lead.” Both Le Brocq and Jones will make their championship debuts this weekend, with Le Brocq joining fellow rising star Ash Walsh in the Erebus Motorsport Mercedes and Jones lining up with Dale Wood in the GB Galvanizing Commodore. Pither, who teamed with Wood last year,

three years ago.

Under former coach Holger Osieck, the Socceroos fell 2-1, a loss that was endemic of the team’s problems at the time and appeared to put their 2014 World Cup hopes in jeopardy. Cahill said there was a completely different feel about the team this time around. “The last qualifying campaign was probably the most difficult of those I have been a part of,” he said. “We were lucky in some instances and just did enough. Now going into this game against Jordan, and even going into the Bangladesh and Tajikistan games, there was a really good confidence amongst the lads. “Our midfield is fully stacked. It seems like everything is going really well.” BY VINCE RUGARI – AAP

Fellow Dunlop Series competitors and veteran racers Paul Dumbrell and Andrew Jones will also take up their regular seats at Red Bull Racing Australia and Team BOC respectively in the enduros. After contesting the first four rounds of the 2015 Dunlop Series, Taz Douglas turned his attention to an endurance campaign with James Moffat in the Nissan after Townsville, hoping to go one better than their successful second placing at the 2014 Bathurst 1000. Veteran Russell Ingall, 51, is also back to race the V8s, partnering Jack Perkins in the second of the Holden Racing Team Commodores.

Falcons outrunning the best T

he superior fitness of Payneham Norwood Union over some of its competitors has been the key to its success.

Now the Falcons hope it will steer them to a Division 1 grand final. There is a distinct belief among the players that they can outrun any opponent, which has been seen over recent weeks. It gives them confidence too that they can match the best in the top flight of the competition, which could take them all the way. After accounting for Rostrevor OC in the elimination final last week, Payneham Norwood Union heads to Henley on Saturday to keep its season alive. It will not fear the trip west either having won there in round three. It has improved further, with greater belief, since then as well. The Falcons desperate attack on the ball should again be on display from the likes of Lewis Klemm, Mitch Caon, and Jack O’Leary. Tom Langford’s class in attack could prove a deciding factor, especially if leading ruckman Cameron Milne can give their onballers first use of the ball to get it forward to him. Henley’s finals experience could be vital in containing the run of the Falcons, especially in a close contest. Photo: Jayson Vowles

Then again the experience of the Sharks, particularly in finals, could give them the edge if it gets tight. Veterans Ross Pederson, Ryan Sampson, Jake Pavlich, Dale Symonds and James Stewart

wouldn’t want to be exiting the premiership race in straight sets either so keeping it close will be crucial to their chances. Neither Tea Tree Gully or Goodwood Saints would want to be facing either of the first semi final combatants in a preliminary final so one can expect a tough second semi on Saturday. The two produced exactly the same score-line (12.11 to 7.8) in both their encounters during the minor round with the Gullies victorious on each occasion. The difference this week could be the finals nerves of both sides with the Saints greater finals exposure through Matt Illman, Anthony Skara, Angus Clarke, Tom Anderson and Anthony Dempsey holding them in good stead. Tea Tree Gully’s senior members, including coach Mitch Sandery, Daniel Golding, Joel Cochrane, Adam Cockshell and Trent Melville, should be able to help ease any tension among its younger brigade.

Eagles can swoop on Reds G

aza and Prince Alfred OC will renew their acquaintance on Saturday to realise their grand final dream and rise back to the top flight of the competition. The ladder leader for most of the season Unley Mercedes Jets has already advanced to the season-decider and will wait in earnest for an opponent, allowing the other two sides to battle it out among themselves. Fight it out they will following a taxing qualifying final two weeks ago, which the Reds won, despite wayward kicking. They will need to reproduce a similar effort this week, with greater accuracy, to gain another crack at the Jets next week. James Dalwood, Ed Boyd, Tom Brinsley, Drew Clayfield and Brandan Papps of Prince

Alfred OC will know what is needed to beat the minor premiers should they get another chance after last week’s second semi final loss. However, they would welcome greater contributions from the likes of Ben Gazzola, William Hugo, Adam Perryman, James Thomas and Karl Siebels to name a few to ensure a positive outcome. The Eagles will be up for the challenge though after accounting for Modbury in last week’s first semi final, winning by 36 points. They will now take that confidence into Saturday’s preliminary final, which will again be at a neutral venue, Prospect Oval. Nathan Frederick, Daniel Lee, Garth Van Ristell, John Boxer, Matthew Richards and Michael Peck certainly are capable of turning

around the result of their last clash against the Reds and could test the Jets as well. However, the key will be their defensive actions to hinder their opponent’s ball movement around the ground, which must come from Shaun McGregor, Scot Ramsey, Chris Radetti, Ryan Burns and Paul Merritt. While Adelaide Airport Stadium may have favoured Prince Alfred OC’s run and spread last time around, the smaller Prospect Oval could be an advantage to Gaza this week. BY STEPHEN O’LOUGHLIN

Vili’s DIVISIOn 3 All on the line for Phantoms, Iggies

HOS Camden and Old Ignatians lock horns this Saturday at Adelaide Airport Stadium in what should be an absorbing grand final.

The Phantoms won 15 of their 16 matches in the minor round to finish on top while Old Iggies won 10 games and a draw from their 16 games to finish third. When the sides met earlier in the year the Phantoms won at Camden Oval in May by 18 points, 10.11 (71) to 7.11 (53) and backed that up with a win in August at Hunter Park by just six points, 14.11 (95) to 13.11 (89). Both sides have enjoyed an even spread of goalkickers in the season with Joshua Martin leading the way for Old Iggies with 32 goals and Andrew Harris for the Phantoms with 30 goals. PHOS then

had five players who have kicked between 23 and 28 goals, Aaron Bergsma, Dylan Gamble, Matthew Jacquier, Adam Smyth and Hamish Gordon, while John Harrison has kicked 26 goals for Iggies. Last week Old Iggies edged out Athelstone in the preliminary final by 18 points at Max Ambers Sportsfield after leading by a point early in the last quarter and then clearing out in the run home. It was the opposite from the qualifying final when the Raggies ran over Iggies late in the game to win. On Saturday Lachlan Murdoch, Sam Cooke, Thomas Kolesnik, Angus Crowley and Shelley Fulton were best for Iggies, while the Raggies saw good games from Lennon Hancl, Heath Fitzpatrick, Justin Sheedy, Matthew Leigh and Josh Sykes.

Overall depth should swing the match the Phantoms’ way but grand finals have a long history of throwing up the unexpected. PHOS by 14-28 points. In the reserves grand final it’s the start of a double with the Phantoms and Old Iggies meeting from 12.15pm. This should be a beauty with the Phantoms finishing on top in the minor round with 13 wins and a draw and Iggies on 13 wins but with a better percentage. PHOS won both games in the minor round and can do it again by 10-22 points. BY GORDON ARMSTRONG

NINE NEWS DIVISIOn 4

Chics, Magpies set for final showdown

n-form Kilburn and Salisbury look set to produce an outstanding grand final spectacle when they meet at Alberton Oval, conveniently in a black and white versus black and white clash. Both sides have been in great form in the finals, coming in to Saturday’s final unbeaten in the major round. Kilburn took the direct path to the grand final when it beat North Haven by four points, while Salisbury ended North Haven’s hopes when it beat the minor premier by 32 points at Largs North Reserve. Patrick Keenihan, Michael Keenihan, Jamie Wormald and Luke Horjus were among the stars for the Salisbury Magpies. When Kilburn and Salisbury met during the season Salisbury won the opening round fixture by 70 points at home, while Kilburn took the spoils in round 10 by 16 points at home. But that was in mid June and the make up of both sides is likely to have changed significantly since then.

Both sides have bounced back from adversity to enjoy fruitful seasons, the Chics recovering from a pre-season with a loss of players and Salisbury at the start of the finals for losing points after breaching club sanctions imposed by the SA Amateur Football League. Very hard to pick a winner with confidence but Salisbury just might have the answers in a terrific contest by 10-24 points. While it is exciting times for the combatants this week it was a disappointing end for North Haven which was minor premier. But coach Andrew Lipson said the club had achieved plenty after being promoted the previous season. “While it was disappointing to lose the finals it was a successful season for the club,’’ he said. “We have a great bunch of kids with a lot to look forward to.’’ Salisbury meets North Haven in the reserves grand final at 12.10pm at Alberton Oval.

Big leap needed by Big Reds as Lions ready to roar

ara Hills stunned Blackfriars OS last week to earn a place in this week’s season-decider.

The Big Reds got on top early and never really gave the Division 5 minor premier a chance to get back in the contest. The surprise preliminary final result prevented the Hounds from achieving backto-back flag success and keeps them at this level for another season.

skewwhiff that they don’t really give a true bearing on what will occur this week. The Lions will start favourite for this encounter, having had the week off after taking the direct route to the big one. But the Big Reds will be hardened by the tough finals football which they have played over recent weeks.

Para Hills, on the other hand, will go up to Division 4 next season but will first face its qualifying final opponent Colonel Light Gardens in Saturday’s grand final at Saint Marys Park.

Vital to Para Hills’ hopes will be controlling the numerous big guns within its opponent’s armoury such as Daniel ScottCollings, Russell McLean, Emmett Wood, Mark Hirst and Arren Harvey who dictated terms in their punishing 56-point loss just three weeks ago.

This will be these two sides third meeting in five weeks, but past results have been so

There are also the likes of Jakob Napier, Josh Bennett, Josh Dawkins and Tom

Groutsch who can trouble the Big Reds as well. Colonel Light Gardens will only need a small lapse from the Big Reds to gain the ascendancy as there are plenty of Lions who can rise to the occasion. This adds further pressure on Para Hills to again jump out of the blocks from the outset, with much again resting on Sean Buss, Shane Hanson, Drew Prior, Giao Chau and Sean Maher. The Big Reds would even like big hauls from Hanson, Paul Cree, Nicolas Lynch and Matt Travis to give them some scoreboard dominance if they are to be successful. BY STEPHEN O’LOUGHLIN

Panthers, Demons aim for premier feeling

ockleys and Smithfield, a dominant pair in this competition for most of the season, meet in the race for the flag at Payneham Oval on Saturday.

The neutral ground should pose few problems for both teams which have shown great skill and scoring power for most of the season. When the sides met in the second semi final Lockley beat the Panthers by 38 points at Smithfield in a high-scoring game. During the season it was one win each with Smithfield winning at home in May by nine points, while the Demons took the later-season clash in July at home by 30 points. In the second semi final Daniel Voyzey, Slaven Pavic, Sean Stormonth, Nicholas Jones and Dylan Ross were among the best

players, while Kane Stewart and Daniel Smith kicked five and four goals respectively. Smithfield’s best in its 31-point win against West Croydon in the preliminary final last week were Anthony Thompson, Ian Bellman, Mark Garner, Daniel Cook and Daniel Marston. Michael Ashby kicked four goals to bring his tally to 79 goals for the season and was 10 times in the best players. Another ‘flip of the coin’ job with Lockleys getting the nod by 12-26 points. The reserves grand final, also at Payneham Oval, is between Trinity Old Scholar and Ingle Farm.

GRAND FINAL

National 1 Plumbing Division 7

Lions pride of the pack

escribed by its coach Shane Lynch as “an amazing achievement by the club”, Mitchell Park has claimed the Division 7 premiership.

In a surprise outcome defeating the hotly fancied Houghton Districts, the Lions’ belief got them through three tough finals encounters to savour success. They entered last week’s grand final not scared of facing the front runners of this level, knowing they matched up well on the Raiders. Lynch said their clash at home during the minor round assured them that they played a similar style of football, which could be beaten by playing at their best. At half-time, he may have had other ideas as Houghton Districts held a seemingly comfortable 17-point advantage. After kicking the first goal of the second half, to stretch the margin to four goals, it looked like the Raiders would win. However, a resilient Mitchell Park still did not feel that it was out of the contest and a few strategic positional changes by Lynch gave the side a different perspective. The Lions then held its opponents goalless

from the 14 minute mark of the third term while kicking six goals itself to take the title with a stirring 10-point triumph, led by Simon Stead, Brandon Walczak and Ben Weekley. Best for the Raiders were Dave Keetch, Cameron Schutz, Shaun Grimley, Jay Horne and Justin Kuhar. “I’m super proud of everyone,” Lynch said. “Blown away really. But this is not really just about the grand final (success), it’s about the whole story from where this football club has come from. “The club was not in a good shape last year. With a player exodus, it was at its lowest point ever so all involved must be applauded.”

Speak Fondly has been the early firmer for Sydney’s first Group One race of the season at Rosehill Gardens. An $11 chance after she backed up her Silver Shadow Stakes win with victory in Saturday’s Furious Stakes (1200m), the daughter of Northern Meteor has come into a $4.50 third favourite and shortening behind Exosphere ($3) and Press Statement ($3.50). Waterhouse was left without a confirmed runner when former favourite Vancouver was taken out last Friday after a less than impressive barrier trial earlier in the week. Owners, including Coolmore Stud where the Golden Slipper winner will stand next year, decided to pull the pin on the Golden Rose and have since then declared her spring over as well. Australian ex-pat Brett Prebble has been cleared to ride Speak Fondly, the filly in Saturday’s race, from barrier four.

opening meeting of the Hong Kong season after a fall in a barrier trial the previous day but suffered no serious injuries. He will also be joined by fellow Hong Kong champion hoop Joao Moreira who will ride the third pick of the Godolphin trio, Shards (barrier six and currently at $13). Exosphere, the leading Godolphin hope, will be ridden by James McDonald from barrier two while Sam Clipperton has gained the ride on their second fancy Holler, a $15 chance (barrier five). The only Group One winner in the field, Chris Waller’s Press Statement will jump from barrier three with Tye Angland aboard. Meanwhile, a favourable Caulfield Cup weight has made Saturday’s Group One Makybe Diva Stakes (1600m) a turning point in Volkstok’n’barrell’s spring program. The winner of the Group One Rosehill Guineas in the autumn, Volkstok’n’barrell received 53.5kg when Caulfield Cup weights were released last week. Co-trainer Chris Gibbs said that the weight made the Caulfield Cup a viable alternative to the Cox Plate and connections would decide their next move after the Makybe Diva Stakes.

Prebble missed last Sunday’s

IT’s a joke “WHERE WERE YOU LAST NIGHT?” JAMES’ MOTHER SHOUTED. “I was at a club with mates,” her son replied. “Oh my god! I hope you didn’t see anything that you shouldn’t have,” she queried. “Well, I did see one thing that I shouldn’t have seen there.” James said. “What did you see?” his mum said. “Dad!” he uttered softly. “WHOEVER ANSWERS MY NEXT QUESTION, CAN GO HOME,” THE TEACHER ANNOUNCED. Suddenly, one boy throws his bag out the window. “Who just threw that?” the teacher shouted. “Me, miss!” George answered. “I’m going home now.”
