With the Williamstown result yesterday, it looks to me that we have a really strong half of the draw now and a really weak one.
Northern Bullants v Frankston this week would do justice to a Grand Final, and the following week Sandringham v Northern Bullants/Frankston would as well.
It's a bit of a shame for the competition that these three are on the same side of the draw...agree or disagree?

I thought Williamstown had peeled off beautifully to the weak side of the draw, but then North Ballarat came out today and played like champions. It will be interesting to see how the North Ballarat fares aghainst Geelong and all their AFL players this week.
But Bullants/Sandy/Frankston side is considerably stronger. Bullants v Frankston could be the game of the finals.
While Williamstown played well to beat Bullants, I don't think there is a weak side of the draw from their perspective. Both Werribee and North Ballarat beat Willy at Willy in the 2nd half of the year, the Roosters thumping them. Williamstown had only beaten Frankston and Geelong of the remaining teams this season (losing to Sandy twice).
There is no weak side as all clubs will have to beat whoever to progress through the finals.
The bullants were the best home and away team by a mile. The zebras next best.
Finals are a different kettle of fish.
