48 teams started!
Only 4 teams Remain!
INDIA v IRELAND
Last time they met:
Round 12: India 5/504 v Ireland 5/429
India have been coachless for the last couple of weeks, but still managed to win and finish top... VERY lucky. Ireland have been up and down all year, but have huge scoring potential any given week.
VICTORIA v FRANCE
Last time they met:
Last week! Victoria 5/427 v France 5/426
Unbelievably Victoria beat France by only 1 point in the last round of the season. Pretty long odds playing someone back to back in this competition.
Winners through to the Grand Final

I'll be sending out the PM now, hopefully he sees it.
The luck of the Irish has been with us but our best footy was earlier in the year and Round 1 score still by far the highest of anyone, last week when it counted the Irish showed what they can do!
Taylor Walker is BACK and we welcome any challenge ;D

smeh, not really lucky- the team I've been fielding for the last couple of weeks have been just my top 5 players... it'd be like that for most people throughout the season- only really differed when I had a couple of form slumps and fielded watts/ oxley...

Swan *might* end up getting an alright SC score since he pumped it so hard early game.... but he's done for the season, so honestly I hope I dont win this game, because I don't think we'll we able to put up a decent team for the GF with nicholls and swan out.

As mentioned above, France needs only 127 from Watts and Viney - should do it, but who knows with Melbourne. Victoria would be very disappointed with its score this week, not one player cracking a century.
very disappointed indeed
Sam MItchell pretty much cost us the win
