Grand Final Preview
It's fitting that the SCSUL |03 premiership comes down to a tussle between the two previous SCSUL premiers in 2021 winner Roppongian Rangers and the 2020 inaugural winner in Jordan's Jets FC.
Jordan's Jets FC spent the majority of the season atop of the competition ladder only losing 3 games in the regular season, whilst the Roppongian Rangers sat comfortably in a top 4 position throughout, ultimately finishing second on percentage. It was tougher for the Rangers this campaign losing five games to round 11. They finished strong losing only one more for the remainder of the season.
The Roppogian Rangers won both of their finals to get the rest last week, whilst the Jets did it the hard way losing their first final and then scrapping in by one point in last week's preliminary final. Falling on the right side of the last game's scaling.
Selection headaches?
- The Rangers will welcome back Tim Kelly and Jake RIccardi for the out of form Hind and injured (concussion) Anderson. The Rangers will be hoping that Patrick Dangerfield gets through the pre game warm up after an injury scare last weekend.
- The Jets with be sweating on the fitness of George Hewitt (Back), There could be some nervous out of form candidates awaiting selection. Will premiership hero Bayley Fritsch get the chance to be a dual premiership player? Could there be debutant selected for the big dance?
Key Matchups
- The Midfield Battle: On paper, the Rangers' midfield look far too strong with a core group of elite superstars but the Jets could win this battle working together as a unit to pressure the Rangers. There have been cracks showing of late, and there will be nerves in the coaching box of the Rangers.
- The Ruck Battle: The return of Ben McEvoy a few weeks ago gives the Rangers the advantage, though the combination of O'Brien and Pittonet could shine. Which Nankervis will show up for the Rangers?
- Boom or Bust: The Jets will be looking to their forwards in Butters, Lynch and Dunkley to dazzle on the big stage.
Prediction: The Rangers to get it done by 74 pts as they carry their late season form to the premiership cup.
All the best of luck to @Bomber18 and @Jordan's Jets in the big one, and thanks to all for a great season.
