This will be a very tough game for both sides. Eltham beat them earlier in the year when they were flying. But then Lower Plenty got them back later in the year when Eltham went through a rough patch. They've generally had pretty good contests the last couple of years.

It`s been a rough patch since Xmas Tongs. Their attack is pedestrian at best and they rely on 2 batsmen to get a score.

Two good games coming up here.
Have Monty got under the radar by just sneaking in to the four after Lalor Stars capitualation?? The only meeting between Monty and Plenty resulted in an easy win to Monty, even though back in round 4. I just have a feeling that Monty will prevail again and get themselves into a G/F.
Lower Plenty v Eltham, two games this season both at Lower Plenty, Eltham had a one day win in round 2, LP a win in round 9. Eltham's form in two day games seems better than LP so think Eltham will do the job.

And seriously guys, how can a guy have a hamstring problem after playing the last round and bowling 25 overs and making 22 the following week.

I must add, regardless of who makes the G/F, to be played at Mernda.....really????
That makes absolutely no sense at all.

Monty have found a matchwinner in shaman it seems, came up trumps for them in a cruch game last week with 60 odd and 7fa, albeit against a weak batting line up. Pleny have been to the well many times as we know and i think that will count for something this weekend. Johnson coming off 0, look out.

Dont know what form youre looking at but LPs form has been much better after xmas than Elthams, i cant see Lp losing this one unless GTs hammy issues are simply a rumour and he and chrimes get runs, still i think Lowers batting depth will be too much.

Good news is all 4 sides have a genuine claim to win it, bad news as stated above, its at frickin Mernda
 
Plenty were blessed to have the very dangerous Lalor capitulate, and now come up against Monty. I can't see Mont having the bowling attack to win a final. And therefore I see Mitch and Gordie getting plenty of runs at home. Too many for Mont to chase down.
Watch For: Sam Noble to somehow make headlines...

Lower Plenty and Eltham have both been there abouts the last few years and I'll tip the winner of this game to win the flag. Lower Plenty in most areas seem to have Eltham covered, and whilst neither side are One Man Bands, I see this game very much Henkel v Turner. I'll take Turner.
Watch for: Turner to get a big hundred.

You've done well to back Eltham there after admitting LP are favourites. Whats the mail on Noble?
 
It's going to be hard for Turner to get a hundred given that he will be going into the game with a pre-existing injury which will preclude him from getting a runner. There were lots of people who saw him re injure his leg/hamstring before going out last week, something that I'm sure will be brought up with the umpires before the game. Hiding injured players in the field is never ideal in a final either.

I'll back GT to get a 5fa over a big hundred. He's only past the magic mark 4-5 times in 16 seasons and I think with the way his hand is, it's beyond him now. I think Eltham will take a 50 from him.

Assuming you're one of the people that saw it what sort of impact do you think he can have? surely would be easier for him to bat than bowl if its at the point of needing a runner
