Saw the Melton game on the weekend and if the slips had been in the right place Wheelehan would've got 5 for and Jones would not have needed to come back on and clean up the tail as he did.

What an effort by the Willy boys!!!!!!!!! No home ground, so have had to travel each week, Still manged to finish 3rd but were widely predicted to go out in straight sets, But with a team of kids, well supported by a few experienced players, the have absolutely given it to the Oaks on their own ground,
But where to for the Oaks? A strong club, who appear to be well led on the field by JT. However One grand final in 3 years and two consecutive abysmal semi final losses with the playing group they have will cleary rankle with the head honchos. Look for some aggressive recruiting next year.
Yeah don't know about your odds there mate. I'd have it at Melton $1.30 Willy $3.00. Melton have to go in as favourites after their big win at home against Willy in the last round of the year. However that was a one day match and Willy's bowler's especially are far more suited to two day cricket. It should be a magnificant contest, two pretty big rival's meeting in a grand final for the first time in a far while.
A positive for Melton has been the return to form of Alexander in recent weeks. He struggled for the first 12 rounds but come good in round 13 against Willy getting a 90* and continuing that on last weekend with a 60. Kirk and Mick Allen have been slaying them all season and Geisler has chipped in, the only one that hasn't performed to his best is Butch with an average of 20 this season but that just means he is due. On the bowling side of things Wheelahan(concrete) has had his best season to date,Duncan Harrison the same Geisler and Allen have chipped when needed. The danger man though is Joones, he had been extremely quite in the home and away season but has lifted when it counts in the two finals. I recall him getting 5fa in the champ final a couple of years ago so is a big game performer.
For Willy, obviously Sheedy is the big scalp. An amazing year again from him scoring close to 800 runs and taking 20+ wickets. He is so consistant and always seems to get a score in big games. Last time Willy were crowned premiers he churned out a 120 in the final, everyone down at Burbank Oval is hoping he can reproduce. However he will need help and so far this season Sandars has been his right hand man contributing in nearly every match throughtout the season. Murdoch was also back to form last week with a 48 but watch out for Hodges and Davis both very dangerous when they get going and could be the suprise packets this week. With the bowling it may look one dimensional but gee it is effective. Speakman is back to his best of 3 or 4 years ago and it just not bowling bad balls. Just puts it on the spot and the batsmen end up making the mistake, Sheedy is the same, he rarely goes for more than 2 an over. Last week he didn't get a wicket but went for 45 from his 23 overs and that just builds pressure.
Hopefully we can see a good tight battle that is still in the balance come 5:30 sunday. Go Willy.
Maybe oakleigh got caught up celebrating too hard after winning the t20 final. Apparently jt pulled up with a sore shoulder after he did 10 windmills with his bat when he hit the winning runs...
Huge game this weekend down at the lions den!

Stop talking drivel Weapons.
It was the same team that won the Semi Final (when you only used four bowlers).
Craigie was injured, Ferrie lost and plot and .............................
Melton were far and away the best side in the competition and fully deserved their premiership victory
excuses..we could all make those up.
Melton had injured players too dogg.
Willy doesn't need you to talk crap for them.
Imagine if you played. Would have been a whitewash.
