Swanny by 6 goals, Cantrill best on ground. Mooney did hammy again and didn't play a part in second half. Hood kicked a bag (7 i think) and Harrison 5. Cheer Cheer the red and the White!!!!This Saturday is the big day in the ODFL. Swifts Creek will now play Swan Reach in this years granny after they narrowly defeated Omeo-Benambra by only 6 points last Saturday. It was a very scrappy game on both teams behalf but the scores kept changing often which kept the fans on edge. Heart-breaking stuff for Omeo-Benambra missing out on a Grand Final by a kick, and it was nearly Swifts Creek that went out in straight sets after finishing top of the ladder, ala Swan Reach last year.
It now means a rematch between the two dominant teams, with Swifts Creek very hungry to seek revenge after their humiliating defeat two weeks ago. Swifts Creek looked very slow and sore against Omeo which won't be a good factor for them as they come up against a rested Swan Reach.
Injury concerns remain over Swifts Creek coach Grant Mooney with his hamstring. He didn't play last week and I'm sure will be very keen to pull on the boots this week. Although he is a very vital player for the Creeks chances of winning, if he isn't at a reasonable standard then he will just be taking up a valuable spot in the team. It is a big call on his behalf: think about the team he coaches or play and hopefully get through the game unscathed with the high chance of becoming a liability to his side. I'm sure Swanny will try to exploit his weakness by running off him as much as they can.
Swan Reach on the other hand have just about a full squad to select from. James Pitt should be over his hamstring injury, and will be trying to squeeze into the side.
The weather I am predicting will play a role in the match. As you would presume playing in the Omeo league, it is predicted windy and showers throughout the day. I can't help but feel that if the weather is fine, the Swanny should be clear favourites. But if their is a lot of rain about, then the game will become a lot more even. Swifts will have a better chance playing in inclement weather conditions as it will reduce the scoring chances by the Swans and not suit their tall forward line. It will make for a much more interesting game.
Swanny are favourites to win their first flag since 1999, and only their second ODFL flag if they can get up. They lost to Bruthen in '03 and Omeo-Benambra in '07 so the community will be hungry for their first flag in 10 years.
Swifts on the other hand will be goin for back-to-back flags after beating Bruthen in last years Grand Final.
My tip: Swan Reach by 32 points
