The arch rivals in the qafl are at again and they will be facing off in the prelim final on Sunday at Coorparoo. Last week southport dispatched and very old and slow vultures side with one all might firing quarter. In the second quarter they ran rough shot and put the vutlure to bed and put them into another prelim final. Matty Payne was the prime mover in that second quarter with 10 possies and plenty of clearances to set up the win for the sharks. They looked sublime in destroying the vultures. The panthers on the other hand had the labrador tigers on ice at 3 quarter time with a 4 goal leaad. labrador made a run at them in the 4th quarter and the rest is history and the panther have a date with the sharks at cooraproo on sunday. There is fitness concernes over quite a few players on both sides. With the panthers, will lillico and gough play and play without any discomfort. The sharks have more injury concernes with Wise, Carmody and Obrien needing fitness tests to play more than likely.
5 key players for both sides
Gough. Has to play a full game nearly and really help Hickey out in the ruck
Lillico. will he play this week. He is an important player and can win a game off his own back
Bonney. Been great this year and will lead the way if the rest of his mates in the midfield are shut out of the game
Abey.Got to kick a bag for the siders to win and give a better option than Mugavin who has been kicking the goals for the panthers this fianls series
Lucy. he might have to stay in the forward line all day instead of runnig up the ground and playing over the ground
Southport
Screech. Was good last week and if Wise and co can't play. He will have to do the same roll as last week and do it well
Payne. Was bog last week by some way and there isn't much doubt about that. If he plays like he did last week he will win them the game
Merrit. was good last week in the ruck and around the ground. the panthers will need to keep an eye on his play
Hughes. Got toweled up last time these 2 met and will need to kick another bag for them to win
James. Mr. ball bagnet and he halways has a crcking game against the panther and if he has his own way again. The panthers could be in for a long day
I think the panthers will win and win well. it helps the fact the game is being played at Coorparoo and not at southport
