Creeks prevailed by 21 points 14 - 9 to 11 - 6.
Fast Forward to their Round 6 2015 clash and the only similarity to that day is the scoreline.
Creeks again prevailing in a hard fought scrap to win by 9 points 13 - 10 to 12 -7.
What was different today to back then?
Beers have gone up a $1
Crowd was down about 85%
Perfect conditions today compared to the strong Northerly back then.
Only 26.190476 % of players from that GF day battled it out today.
Thats 11 from 42.
Creeks had 5 (Basir, D.James, Saunders, Dave & Nick Warren)
Yank had 6 (Bond, Brannigan-Fisher, P.Fittock, Hunt, James and Sidebottom)
With such a large turnaround of players and loss of experience and some serious talent in a relatively short time it's not surprising
that these 2 clubs have plummeted so quickly.
Tho neither will threaten finals this year they should still be able to provide competitive efforts in the remaining 12 Minor
round matches.
Yank losing playing coach Thomson for the game in the 2nd Qtr with concussion ? was unlucky for them.

jackpot jim wrote:Well no real surprise with the 5 winners of Round 7 but the margins certainly were a little surprising.
Goolwa/PE, Myponga and Compass all had BIG wins over McLaren, Willunga and Strath respectively.
Victor scraping in over Yank by only 3 points suggests they still have plenty of work to do to be a serious contender.
Bays had a real tough slog at the Creek to secure a 25 point win pretty much on the back of a 5 goal to nil 2nd term to set up their win.
Both teams defenses made scoring hard despite the perfect conditions with only the IN FORM Neale (6 goals) for the Bays and Keeley (7 goals out of the 8 kicked for the Hawks) appearing as constant forward threats.
Is it too early to say the FIVE is set ?
There appears to be only 5th spot up for grabs at this early stage.
Unless McLaren beat Yank & Creek in next 2 rounds i think it's Mypongas to lose.

Have heard of the McCracken Cup over the years but what is it actually?
Does anyone know or even care?
Is it a prestigious thing to win?
I have NFI ?

Mclaren to re-ignite their season, lose this and it's curtains
Compass in a goal fest, should be close.. If they win this have to be flag favourites
Goolwa to flex against a weaker side, can't seem to do it against the better teams
Victor to smash Willunga, been disappointing the last 2 weeks

GPE v Creek: Off the back of 2 big wins, GPE will be too slick for Creek.
Strath v Pongy: Pongy should be too strong.
Will v VH: Interesting with neither side travelling that too well - Willunga coming off 2 near 10 goal losses and VH's form ordinary at best. Some quality returns to the VH side and should see them win. I wonder who will be first to sit Boydy on his arse?!
Yank v McLaren: Yes VH were ordinary last week but Yank really aren't far off the pace esp considering they were without Thomson, Fittock, Wilson, Plant, Lewis +++. IF they get any of that quality back I think Mclaren will be in for a tough day. I'm going for the "upset"?
