Any others?

sturgess back to diamondcreek after he asked for 2 grand a game and was declined.

OK, half the season is over. Who are the disappointments, who are the suprises? What will be the make up of the final 8?

I reckon:

CARLTON
GEELONG
MELBOURNE
STKILDA (surprise)
RINGWOOD
DANDENONG
PRAHRAN (surprise)
HAW/MON UNI
--------------
FOOTSCRAY (disappointing)
CAMBERWELL
MELB UNI (disappointing)
NORTHCOTE (surprise)

Forget the rest, thoughts?

I think Prahran, hawthorn and st kilda will not be in the 8 at the end of the season. Footscray have been a major disappointment but with their win on the weekend lay 2 points outside the 8 with north melb and northcote being the last 2 games before christmas. Win those 2 and they will be close to the top 4 as the teams in the 8 play each other in the final 2 rounds.

Look for ringwood to go back to back.. they just look to strong....

Tip for grand final playoff is Ringwood V Dandenong

Any thoughts on who will play in the grand final this season???

Final 8 tips would be as follows:-

RINGWOOD
GEELONG
CARLTON
FOOTSCRAY
DANDENONG
MELBOURNE
CAMBERWELL
FITZ DONCASTER

Yeah he would have been contracted but would have had a clause in his contract that allowed him to go back home at any stage. Hampshire would have made sure that was in his contract..

This is the reason why clubs should not sign overseas players...
