SOUTHPORT KNOCKED OUT IN STRAIGHT SETS. WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT IT

This might be the case after this weekend and after the way they started this year, it will be a massive shock too the people at shark park. The vultures juggernaut has been rolling on for a while now and no one can stop it and i can't see anyone doing it for a while. Southport got out play quite easily by the panthers last sunday at home and have a frew players carrying injuries and few of them might miss this game. The vultures are going to have their leader and arguably their best player in Josh Vearing who injured his anckle in the third quarter of their win over the thunder in the elimination final last sunday. The last time these 2 met, the game was close all day until the vulture ran away with the match in the last. The battles all over the field will be crackers. Will Tommy Tarrant get Maclaren and will hughes play and match up ahainst adam tarrant. This match should be a beauty

5 key players for both sides

Vultures

Daniel Savage. was good last week and he will have to step up with vearing most likely out

Tommy Tarrant. he will get Maclaren and he has to shut his run down

Aiden Prat. tough and can get plenty of the footy and will always use it well

Ash Evans. if he can get on top of the tag from devine. he will be a match winner

Darryl White. A key target if morro and co are cut out of the game

Southport

Kurt Nickalus. has to play out of his skin too really give the sharks a chance

Mark Lynch. Good in and under player that can get plenty of the footy from to down back

Dean Putt. has to domminate for his midfielders to have any chance of domminating the vultures mifield

Cleve Hughes. Needs to domminate and kick a big bag for the sharks to have any chance of winning this game of footy

Adam Devine. Has been the sharks most consisitant over the last month and a bit and he will get Evans

i think the vultures will end the sharks season

SOUTHPORT TOO MUCH CLASS

Too much class was really the end result for the sharks on saturday. Aspley were in it all day and looked like they could cause another upset to go with the morningside win earlier this year. But southport started to run and carry and just domminate all over the park from about hal way through the 3rd quarter. The hornets looked rattled at one stage and didn't know what to do and couldn't find any answers and they were outclassed by the more experienced and well drilled southport putfit in the end. The hornets shouldn't be that dissapointed in what was an improving year where they won 4 more games than last year and finished 2 spots higher on the ladder than last year

IS IT CALOUNDRAS YEAR

Well they are due to win this flag. They have been the best team in the comp all year and they seem ready to take out this gf on sunday, but they have been in this position before and they have choked when it mattered. In 2008 they had a massive chance to win the flag and inaccurate kicking cost them in the end. They have a good blend of experience and youth in their side and they have quality dootballers in this side that you would normall see in the pineapple hotel cup or higher leagues in qld. Coorparoo have had a consitant year and have a good quality outfit all year long. They have planty of experienced players in the ranks that have played in the top level in qld and their best player won the Joe Grant medal in last years gf. Their midfield has class writen all over it and they have forwards that can kick bags when needed. They game will be won in the midfield and the 2 coaches will have both teams primed for this and i am going to tip an upset. the experience and class of coorparoo will get them over the line in this one
