27 August - Victorian Amateur Football Association

third term meant OM would keep their end of thedeal, and NOB-SP did the rest at Garvey. For theRaiders, it was despair. Scores were all tied up atthe orange break, but NOBs had been the morethreatening of the two teams. They blew apartboth the game, and the Raiders’ hearts, in a sevengoal final term which delivered a deserved berthnext week. Old Paradians have plenty of youth towork with, and are well placed to bounce straightback. As for Old Geelong: what went wrong in thesecond half of the year?This weekend, all roads lead to SportscoverArena for what should be an exciting start to thefinals series. Despite playing on a relatively smallhome venue, Banyule are actually more suited togrounds with wider expanses, and should havetoo much run and carry,and too many options upforward for the Vultures.But like last week’s preview,it will be a tight, hard-fought affair. (This season’sresults: Ban d Park by 34 in R7; Ban d Park by 18in R18).The Friars and NOB-SPC face off in a first semiwhich really could go either way. NOBs’ huge awaywin over Friars last time has me leaning towardthe boys from Gillon. Overall, NOBs are a moreexperienced outfit, and this could be telling in thepressure-cooker finals atmosphere. (This season’sresults: WF d NOB by 1 in R7; NOB d WF by 68 inR 15).DIVISION 1 LAST ROUND DIVISION 1 RESERVEOld Mentonians 5.2 6.3 12.5 12.8 (80)Old Geelong 2.1 6.4 8.7 9.12 (66)GOALS Old Mentonians: D.
