SENIORS

SATURDAY
Geelong(9-8 8th) vs Collingwood(9-8 7th) at Skilled Stadium 9:40am
Pretty simple equation Winner finishes 7th,Loser finishes 8th

Port Melbourne(12-5 3rd) vs Williamstown(12-5 2nd) at TEAC Oval 1:10pm
Possible rehearsal for qualifying final. Williamstown can still finish top if North Ballarat lose to Sandringham. Willy can't finish lower than 3rd. Port Melbourne can not finish higher than 2nd but could finish as low as 4th depending on how the Bullants go against Frankston.

North Ballarat(13-4 1st) vs Sandringham(7-10 7th) at Eureka Stadium 2pm
North Ballarat win and it is the minor premiership if they lose they can drop to 2nd if Williamstown defeat Port Melbourne. Its Sandy's final game of the season with either a 9th or 10th place finish

SUNDAY
Box Hill Hawks(11-6 5th) vs Casey Scorpions(10-7 6th) at Box Hill 2pm
If Box Hill win they can finish as high as 4th if the Bullants lose to Frankston. If Casey win Casey they too could finish as high as 4th if the Bullants lose to Frankston. A loss to either team will mean a 6th place finish.

Frankston(3-14 12th) vs Northern Bullants(11-6 4th) at Frankston 2pm
If the Bullants win they can finish as high as 3rd should Williamstown defeat Port Melbourne. A loss and it will miss the double chance and finish 5th. Frankston's will finish 12th having all ready recorded their worst season in the new VFL(since 2000).

Werribee(7-10 11th) vs Bendigo Bombers(0-17 13th) at Windy Hill 2pm
Neither side can play finals. This represents Bendigo's last chance to win a game this season.

BYE-Coburg Tigers(7-11 10th) Coburg's season is over.

RESERVES
SATURDAY
Port Melbourne(5-12 9th) vs Williamstown(14-3 2nd) at TEAC Oval 10:20am
Williamstown can finish top with a win should Casey defeat Box Hill. Can not finish lower than 2nd so will have 1st week of finals off and go straight to Preliminary Finals. This is Port's final game of the season.

North Ballarat(10-7 4th) vs Sandringham(8-8 6th) at Eureka Stadium 11:10am
This is the big reserves game of the weekend. If North Ballarat win they will finish 3rd if they lose they can finish as low as 5th. For Sandy it is all or nothing if they win they finish 6th and make the finals if they lose they have to hope Bendigo Bombers defeat Werribee on Sunday an unlikely outcome. If this happens Sandy will only miss the finals by match ratio because they(along with Bendigo) played one less game than the rest of the teams.

SUNDAY
Box Hill Hawks(14-3 1st) vs Casey Scorpions(7-10 8th) at Box Hill 11:10am
A win for Box Hill and they win the minor premiership. A loss they can only finish as low as 2nd if Williamstown def Port Melbourne. Regardless of result they will have a week off and go straight through to the Preliminary Finals. This is Casey's last game of the season.

Frankston(10-7 5th) vs Northern Bullants(5-12 10th) at Frankston 11:10am
A win for the Dolphins and they will finish either 3rd or 4th. A loss and they will remain in 5th. This is the Bullant's final game of the season.

Bendigo Bombers(1-15 11th) vs Werribee(8-9 7th) at Windy Hill 11:10am
Werribee will know going into this game the result from the North Ballarat vs Sandringham game, If North Ballarat have won they will need to defeat Bendigo to make the finals in 6th place. If Sandringham have won they will only be playing for pride. This is Bendigo's last game for the season and who knows maybe their last reserves game ever.

BYE-COBURG TIGERS(11-7 3rd) Coburg will be playing in the finals and can finish anywhere between 3rd and 5th.

This game now looks like being the first of two consecutive games between the two clubs, as Port and Willy look like playing in week one of the finals for the 2nd Qualifying Final.

Some enthralling match ups should make for an entertaining game.

This season a number of AFL players have decided to retire at the end of the year and also had farewell games. But there has been no mention of them playing out the season in the VFL.

Will Shannon Watt continue at the Roosters? Russell Robertson, Whelan and Wheatley at Casey?
Stewie Dew at Box Hill?

This could make a huge difference to teams at finals time.

Top 5 favourite games attended

A tough question but would be interesting to see which games whether they are finals or home ands away matches. List your five matches with a small summary.

My top five but not in any order. There have been many other favourite games but these five stick out for me

1976 VFA 1st Division Grand Final Port Melbourne v Dandenong
Typified the VFA from the grand era. Tough, big crowds, entertaining and some great footy too.
1982 VFA 2nd Division Grand Final Northcote v Caulfield at Toorak Park
Barracking for Northcote this was a ripper of a game and great result. First flag for 21 years.
1976 Home and away game Sunshine v Northcote at Skinner Reserve
Northcote trailed by almost five goals but kicked 5 goals in about 3 1/2 minutes to steal victory. Miracle win.
1990 VFA Grand Final Sopringvale v Williamstown at Princes Park
The seagulls trailed by 34 points after a few minutes into the last quarter but stage a magnificent comeback to win. Billy Swan kicked the sealer.
1976 VFA 2nd Division Grand Final Mordialloc v Williamstown
Mordialloc was hot favourites but the seagulls gave them a hiding by 57 points in a tough, bruising game. Good crowd that made Toorak Park a special place come September.

Here are the Scenarios heading into the final 2 rounds of Season.

SENIORS

WILLIAMSTOWN 1st 12-4
Remaining Games: vs Casey(A), vs Port(A)
2 good games for the Seagulls to finish off the season to see where they are at leading into the finals. If they win both they will finish top but should they lose both can finish as low as 3rd.
My Prediction: 1st

NORTH BALLARAT 2nd 12-4
Remaining Games: vs Bendigo(A), vs Sandringham(H )
2 winnable games for the Roosters if they win both they can finish top should Williamstown lose one of their reamining games. Can finish as low as 3rd
My Prediction: 2nd

PORT MELBOURNE 3rd 11-5
Remaining Games: vs Sandringham(H ), vs Williamstown(H )
They have a great draw coming into the finals with 2 games at home. Both games should be beauty's. You would except the Borough to win one of these games. If they win both can finish 2nd should they lose both they can drop to as low as 6th.
My Prediction: 3rd

BOX HILL HAWKS 4th 11-6
Remaining Games: BYE, vs Casey(H )
Box Hill have to sit back and watch this week as they have the Bye and they may well be put in a situation that they must beat Casey in final round to get double chance. Can still finish as low as 7th.
My Prediction: 5th

NORTHERN BULLANTS 5th 10-6
Remaining Games: vs Coburg(H ), vs Frankston(A)
They are in a fight for a double spot with the Hawks if they win both matches they will get that 4th spot. Neither game will be easy against a desperate Coburg and a Dolphins teams looking to finish the season on a good note. The Bullants have a poor record at Frankston. They can still finish as low as 8th.
My Prediction: 4th

CASEY SCORPIONS 6th 9-7
Remaining Games: vs Williamstown(H ), vs Box Hill(A)
If the Scorpions can win both they can still make the top 4 but if they lose both can finish as low as 8th. Another team with a good draw against propective finals teams.
My Prediction: 7th

GEELONG 7th 9-7
Remaining Games: vs Werribee(A), vs Collingwood(H )
A win for Geelong on Saturday Night at Werribee will guarantee a finals spot. They can finish as high as 5th but can miss the finals if Sany win both their remaining games.
My Prediction: 6th

COLLINGWOOD 8th 8-8
Remaining Games: vs Frankston(H ), vs Geelong(A)
A huge game for the Pies at Princes Park on Saturday against the Dolphins a win will almost guarantee a finals spot. A loss it could mean a must win game at Geelong the following week not an easy task.
My Prediction: 8th

SANDRINGHAM 9th 7-9
Remaining Games: vs Port(A), vs Nth Ball(A)
They can make the finals if they win one of these 2 games if the Pies lose both of their's, both of these will be tough. Playing two teams in the top 4 away from home won't be easy but if you want to do well in the finals you need to beat these teams.
My Prediction: 9th

COBURG TIGERS 10th 7-10
Remaining Games: vs Nth Bull(A), BYE
For the Tigers to make the finals they must defeat the Bullants and hope Collingwood and Sandringham lose both of their matches. Highly Unlikely.
My Prediction: 10th

Werribee,Frankston,Bendigo Bombers can not make the finals.

The low standard at AFL Victoria have continued with the VFL Record showing THREE errors in the Round 19 fixture in this weekends VFL record. Great promotion of the competition isnt it when the wrong times and venues are listed for the next round.

Werribee v Geelong is at 7pm - not 2pm as shown.
Collingwood's game is at Visy Park and has been for weeks...yet they still show it as TBA.
And Bendigo's QEO has been shut down for months, yet apparently the Bombers v Roosters game next week is at QEO.

Pathetic really, they fiddle around with the draw, move games here there and everywhere yet don't bother to fix the VFL Record.

It's so sloppy, but we shouldn't be surprised. Highly unprofessional. Is anybody in there accountable for getting the basics right?
