Well finals time is upon us as the top 4 teams head to Doubleview. The 2 teams remaining will head over to Bassendean for the big dance on Sunday. If history is to repeat itself from 2 years ago then Manning will achieve the threepeat and be the first club in 20 years since Doubleview in the early 2000s. Doubleview and Sth Perth both have the double chance to make the main event while the Knights or the Eagles having to win 3 games to take out the flag. I think this is going to be one of the most exciting finals in quite some time and lets have a look at the matchups.
DOUBLEVIEW v SOUTH PERTH

SOUTH PERTH

S Walker, P Davies, N Griffin, O Dawson
J Opie, M Sear, J Wardrop, J Percival INS: No changes OUTS:
These 2 teams have been the front runners for most of the second half and should be a cracker of a game. Doubleview went out in straight sets last time they hosted they finals and will be looking to bounce back. Sth Perth looking to make their 5th final in 6 years and will be confident in beating the home side as they did a couple of years ago. I will be amazed if the View go out in straight sets this year they look like a very different team to me this year I think they will be the first team into the finals
Doubleview 6-2

Another replay from a couple of years ago sees the Knights take on the Eagles. Cambridge with a very different side this year and will be confident they can stop the defending premiers from making it 3 in a row. For the Eagles once again when they looked gone and have flown home to give themselves another crack at the flag. This game is going to be a beauty and I did tip a Doubleview v Cambridge final from the get go, however I think Manning might just get the job done they will be hungry for 3 in a row.
Manning 6-2
