My finals results

Gladiators 405 def Maulers 355
Dominant display by the premiership favourite especially in All Star where One Heart Medalist-elect, Jack "I'm" Redden led the charge, supported by the irrepressible Matt Priddis. Maulers live to fight another week but will need to carefully select their All Stars next week. Who to pick? Rioli v Carlton? Cloke v Brisbane? Thompson v Gold Coast? O'Keefe v St Kilda. I asked the magic ball and this is what it said: "You have a reputation for being thoroughly reliable and trustworthy. A pity that it's totally undeserved." Harsh, very harsh. Irrelevant as well, but still harsh.

Vipers 431 def Ridgebacks 402
This was a mighty tussle all weekend. In the end the HGA, Bryce Gibbs and Clinton Jones were the main differences. Shaun Higgins must be shaping for the chop at Ridgeback land. Still the Ridgies have a second chance...I wonder who that is against? Again, consulting the magic ball for the Ridgies, it says: "You must be careful now to end the ceremony properly." (I must get my money back on this stupid ball). Vipers can now rest their players - for Gibbs and Murphy, that's a two-week rest. Hmmm, should be an interesting preliminary final.

Bangers 404 def Raptors 325.
Brent Stanton is now a Terrier. I have witnesses that can attest to this. Banger said that if Stanton 100 points or more twice in one year, he would give me Stanton. Anyway back to reality. Good win by the Bangers after last week's shock loss. Big games from Betts, Smith and Stanton helped smash the rebuilding Raptors. What does the magic ball say about the Bangers: "You will be reincarnated as a toad; and you will be much happier." Deep, very deep and surprisingly accurate.
Au revoir, Raptors. No doubt you will be about the mark in 2012.

Terriers 392 def Heroes 327.
The sideshow continues thanks to Liam "Barrel of Nipples" Shiels and Ben Howlett. The following players have been sacked: Nick Lower (1 tackle AND was subbed off; Aaron Cornelius (plays at full forward and gets donuts) and Mitch Duncan (get's subbed off and will miss next week anyway).
Dale Thomas was real Hero but a lack of goal kickers was significant. What does the magic ball say for the Terriers: "The future is hazy - pass the joint and ask again". 'Nuf said.
Farewell, Heroes. Another team rebuilding for 2012.

Well done to the finalists. Warthogs were seen playing with themselves on the weekend (sic) we scored 425 points led by Cassidy and selwood getting 25 tackles farewell Barry hall with six goals and the best disposals all year. Ah well it is just a fantasy when you finish tenth

Oh, dear.
Hold back the posts - your jamming up this site!

So next week it's Ridgebacks v Terriers
and Maulers v Bangers.

All I am asking, Ridgie, is that you be gentle....

That is bullshit Gerry. You told me you weren't happy about Macca calling you a part of the side act.

Personally im still in shock of winning my first ever final. I honestly didnt expect to get through that game with a win. As I have stated on numerous occasions, Ridgebacks are a great team.

Will make for an interesting few weeks though. this week we have last years premiers vs a perenial contender. And then the winner of that game plays this years favourite in Gladiators. buckle up kids this is gonna get bumpy.

On the other side of the bracket Bangers vs Maulers will be interesting with Geelong having the bye. It looks like it might not be Bangers year, just like its not my year with Carlton having the bye for our prelims.

Way too nice Jason. I need to hear your very best trash talking otherwise you run the risk of being barred from the site. Cheers.

Very patronising. Are you saying that Macca is a shithouse coach of a great team?

Boy, Jase, where do you get off????

Why don't you just say it?
You had marked yourself down for a win a week ago.
Don't get all mushy now that it has come true.

BTW Macca. Welcome to the sideshow!

[That's a free gift from a certain Hero I know]

Ahh Gerry this is the 2nd time you have tried to turn my words around.

Read into what I said all you like, but I am an honest operator and take little enjoyment from beating someone in the finals when they score over 400. Thats a cruel way to lose at the best of times.

I wont lie however and say I am unhappy that you, Macca and Croz are all on the other side of the bracket from me. Im quite happy for the 3 of you, all titans of our great game, to fight it out amongst yourselves.

..get your facts straight, son.

Titans are the raging favourites this year. Is Pez going to hold up the other half of the premiership cup?

That doesn't sound great for you Croz. You know how Pez loves to give you a pasting in the finals. Then he has cheek to tell you all about it.

I agree.

But then again, we could discuss who we are each playing in the Preliminary Finals....
