Well the Medal count has been and gone and the League had a good show, with guests Chad Cornes from the Power and Rhett Biglands from the Crows. They both spoke well and I enjoyed their Q & A with compere Damian Judd who did a very professional job.
The Best & Fairest winners this year in Ray McIntosh (League), Robbie Dunn (Reserves), Cameron Edey (U 17's) and Ben Sawford and Ciaran Hollingworth-Hughes ( U 14's), were all excellent selections and Tit Bit must say for a change the Umps got it right!.

Preliminary Final Day and we woke to a very windy day which is not good for football, a 5 goal wind blowing North to South down the ground.
The Under 14's had the best conditions early and their game was a cliff hanger with West tipping Central out in the last minute of the game. Under 14's to impress Tit Bit in this game were D. Collison (Central), B.sawford (West), M.Gurnett (Central), C.Hollingworth-Hughes (West) and J.Webster (Central).
The Under 17's had a good game until West kicked away in the last quarter. They are a very speedy side and young Bob Calliss had a tremendous BOG performance for West, other players to come under my notice were :-, G.Shepherd (West), M.Lawson (Roopena), N.Covino (West), J.Marshall (Roopena), J.Burgoyne (Roopena), J.Rohrlach (West), C.Webster (Roopena), and N.Grzona (West). The standard in this grade has been exceptional all year and Tit Bit has really enjoyed watching the talent in this competition.

The League last weekend were overjoyed with the crowd at the 1st and 2nd Semi Finals and I overheard League President say it was a record crowd for the 2nd Semi for the League. This reflects on the strength of the competition this year and the strong following of North and West.

The Reserves was a low scoring game and I cannot remember when both teams never scored in the first quarter - I started to think I was at the soccer. The wind played havoc with the players and Centrals eventually broke through to advance to next week. Players to come under notice were:-, Peter Carter and Robbie Dunn (Centrals) and Andrew Caust and Terry Ledgard (North).

The League game to 4 minutes before half time was a tight torrid affair with only 2 points the difference and then North kicked 3 quick goals for a handy lead at half time. The wind was the worst we had experienced for the season and some of the players were unable to adapt to the conditions with their kicks etc. The second half saw North gradually get on top in an intriguing game and we can expect a good tight game between West and North next week in the Grand Final.

Lets hope for a mild day so that we can see good football and a bumper crowd.
