Creeks outplayed Willunga in the 1st half and their lead at half time should have been much greater than 25 points, having butchered several golden opportunities in the 2nd term. Willunga dominated the 2nd half as the Creeks battled to maintain their lead but scoring opportunities dried up as Willunga surged to a narrow lead and clung on and in doing so have no doubt assumed Premiership favoritism.
Creek will face Mt Compass in the Qualifying whilst McLaren will attempt to repeat their authoritative win over Strath today again next week in the Elimination Final.
Good summary of the game Jim.
Who’s willing to predict how the finals will play out?
Elimination Final: McLaren in a much closer match than last Saturday.
Qualifying Final: Langhorne Creek by 4-5 goals.
First Semi-Final: McLaren narrowly over Compass - they’ve got the job done twice against the Dogs this year.
Second Semi-Final: Willunga, freshened up and with players back.
Preliminary Final: Langhorne Creek over McLaren.
Grand Final: Willunga to get the job done in an extremely close GF.
Like Creek over the past few years, Willunga have really good top end talent and very strong depth down to their 21st player and right now, they’re playing better footy.
