The two time reigning premiers the Neptune Noahs are lining up in their 8th ORFFF Grand Final, holding a 21-6 finals record, with 8 consecutive finals victories, and a 3-4 Grand Final record. Their challengers are the first first-time Grand Finalists since 2021, the young, brash and exciting Sherwood Magpies who are 3-2 all time in finals. @That KI Guy @Vicwood Have at it, best of luck to you both. Noting again that full lockout is the FIRST Friday game, so loop away on Thursday night with Bombers and Blues as you wish. (Please post your teams below as well as in TSleagues when it rolls over)
Just a question for confirmation. With the Bombers and the Suns double game week which scores will count.?
Bombers vs Suns is ignored for Supercoach and each of the TS leagues playing this week. All 18 teams only get the 1 game this round. Despite the AFL's insistence otherwise I have deemed the catchup game as Round 25 when filling in the updated TS Leagues fixture, although most accurately it is Opening Round (delayed game).
Noahs gearing up for a back to back tilt! Provisional GF squad Def - Clark, Lloyd, Amon, Maynard (Turner) Mid - Libba, Viney, Dawson, Powell (Keays) Ruck - Gawn Fwd - Warner, Kennedy, Moore, Neale (Wright) IC - Sweet, Dempsey (McKay) Best of luck @Vicwood
Updated Def - Clark, Lloyd, Amon, Maynard (Turner) Mid - Libba, Viney, Dawson, Powell (Johnson) Ruck - Gawn Fwd - Warner, Kennedy, Moore, Keays (McKay) IC - Sweet, Dempsey (wright)
Noahs playing safe and locking in a couple of mid 80 loops. Keays out for Neale to take McKay score. Sweet out for McDonald to take Wright score.
Grand Final Team DEF: Ash Mills Bowey Worrell (Bowes MID: Rowell Callaghan Mc Kercher Friejah (Hough) RK ; Briggs FWD : Darcy Fogerty Boak KPP ( O'Halloran) IC : Flynn Taylor ( Membrey) Good start from the Noahs with 2 loops in Play. Briggs will need a big effort against Marshall and i am hoping Fogerty shows up against the Roos.
Progress scores Noahs 905/10 (90) Clark, Amon, Libba, Kennedy, Moore to play Vs Magpies 790/9 (87) Ash, Callaghan, Briggs, Freijah, Darcy, Taylor to play Virtually anyone’s game here with both teams holding heavy hitters to slug it out on super Sunday. @Vicwood
Yes, going to go down to the last game. Hoping Taylor can be at his intercepting best today and Briggs puts in a good shift.
Bad return from Taylor, really wanted Bowes in the flex but after last week sub vest didn't want to risk it. Need a miracle now from Freijah and Darcy against Clark and Libba.
Alright this has gone right down to the wire. Not sure I’m entirely convinced on calling this without some scoring confirmation. Highly unofficial final scores Noahs 1333 Vs Magpies 1310
