At the Gabba
For the first time
that I can recall, a QSFL match went into "extra-time"
at Football Park on Sunday, when 100 minutes couldn't separate
a slow-starting Mt Gravatt and a plucky Lion Cubs outfit. The
end result saw the demise of a courageous Cubs side brimming
with Lions talent. The experience gained this season by many
of the Cubs' youngsters will certainly put them in good stead
for season 2000. Watch out! For Mounties, they will not want
to put this performance on the paddock next week against the
Eagles …. to many dropped marks and poor handling. The Cubs'
start was a shock to all and sundry, banging through three early
majors, thus serving notice they meant business. A rough-house
second quarter saw Mounties come out on top with the Cubs going
into hibernation. Only two points separated the sides at the
last change, and a nip-and-tuck final term saw the Vultures flit
away some good scoring opportunities once again. An early goal
in extra-time was enough to douse the Cubs hopes of victory.
For Mounties, Ellis bagged four and Alleway three, with Jones,
Dupuy, Tudhope, Misco and Buswell their best. Picken and Headland
kicked three each for the Cubs, with Bradshaw, Shattock, Voss,
Bolton and Keating all dominant in their roles.
At the Gabba on Saturday
night, the Southport Sharks machine rolled into their third consecutive
grand final, making it their 13th GF appearance in 17 seasons
(Southport being admitted to QSFL in 1983, winning in their maiden
season) It was an on-again-off-again performance by the Sharks
who only managed to hit the front right on half-time, after a
very average first quarter. A six goals to two second term led
by Mackay and Deacon up front saw the sharks in front finally
and never looked back, kicking eight more goals to three in the
second half. A non-contacting raised elbow from Deacon as the
half-time siren sounded saw a melee erupt right in front of the
"social club", but it soon dissipated. The second half
saw the Eagles' ball control and delivery slip away, in particular
across the half-back line. On the few occasions they delivered
the ball up front they goaled, but couldn't mainain any momentum
through a tight Sharks backline. Coach Craig Brittain's fiery
three-quarter time speech along with Danny Dickfos' never-say-die
effort all over the park weren't enough to lift the Zillmere
boys in the final term, and they will have to show much more
if they are to prevent the Sharks achieving the first premiership
hattrick since the old Windsor club back in 1949-50-51. Mackay
with five and Green with three were terrific for Southport, while
Smith and Weller bagged two each for the Eagles. Crossley, Balshaw,
Bain, Ballans and Mackay were Southport's best, while Watts,
Weller, Garton, Smith and Dickfos didn't deserve to be on a losing
side.
Next Week
It's the last chance
for sides to qualify for the "big one" this Saturday,
with the Eagles and Vultures to battle out the seniors, and Eagles
and Sharks to fight out the "reggies". Although no
confirmation as yet, I assume the seniors match will be played
as the curtain-raiser to the Lions-Bulldogs AFL semi-final at
the Gabba on Saturday night.
Predictions ….
well personally I think both semis will be relatively one-sided
with the Eagles to beat Mounties in the "ones" and
Southport to beat the Eagles in the "two's".
Other News
Congratulations to
Sharks (former Bears and Fitzroy) rover David Bain and Vultures
utility Brad Jones who tied on 15 votes to win the 1999 Grogan
Medal, the most prestigious award for Australian football in
Queensland. As with other states' medals it is voted for on a
3-2-1 basis for the QSFL's best-and-fairest player. It is the
second time Bain has won the award, previously taking it back
in 1994. For Jones, he has previously been runner-up on two occasions,
so I guess its third time lucky. The dual-winners edged out early
leader Trent Bartlett-14 (Labrador) Craig Lanyon-13 (Mt Gravatt)
and Jason Lamb-12 (Labrador).
