Shag’s Watchlist
With his massive 144 last week, his previous weeks performance must have been nothing more than a hiccup, Josh P. Kennedy form has been amazing the second half of this year.
Looking for a bit of a smokey, This kid is a ball magnet, Sam Menegola has the potential to be a ball magnet.

Shag’s Watchlist
Stephen Coniglio has been the solid midfield mainstay for this superb outfit all year. He has remained so for this finals campaign.
Some players just simply list for the Finals. Liam Picken averaged 87.6 for the home and away fixture. Over finals he has scored 111 for both games he has played. Why not go for a clean sweep.
