After seven weeks of gruelling competition, the finals of Autumn League are on tomorrow night! In a shameful admission of blog failure, I have no idea who's playing in the final of Div 3. Regardless of who actually plays you should hang around and watch the game. The standard of this league has been really high and the final is likely to be a good game to watch and heckle.
In Div 2, the Balaclavas take on Shazam. The Balaclavas have some superstars in their line-up and plenty of new talent and depth. Against this star-studded line-up, Shazam are looking like total underdogs. Also, many of Shazam's players are out of town and thus cannot play. To compound the risk of forfeits, the Balaclavas only have two players registered.
Despite the possible absence of players, I'm going to go out on a limb here, and say that this might be one of the highest quality league games of any league in Australia. I'm then going to qualify that by saying that both teams are also capable of plumbing the very depths of awfulness. But, returning to the limb, I think this game will see moments from both teams that wouldn't look out of place at the international level. With a number of players from each team involved in the All Australian camp two weekends ago, expect fireworks when the Div 2 final starts this Wednesday.
