Congratulations to the Dark Side who defeated Rapid Sossage 228-172 in the HFFL 2016 Grand Final to claim their 4th flag, now equal with the mighty Twaddstars.
Commiserations but also congratulations to the Rapid Sossage for making their 2nd grand final in 3 years! Fine effort, especially from 4th. Well done also for the Pots and Stars continuing the perennial finals form and for the Mayblooms who after their historic Premiership to relegation story of 2012-2103, have made every finals series since.
The premiership team was a good mixture of 1 elite retention, 2 high draft picks and a rag tag bunch of aspiring stars cobbled together through the season, also demonstrating that there is still some quality to be found in the MSD. The Dark Side grand final team and their draft pick/retention status were as follows:
Dark Side 2016 Grand Final Team
F: T.Membrey (MSD-9th), J.Daniher (Retained- Sub 20)
Ma: N.Riewoldt (Retained-Elite)
Mi: D.Haneberry (PSD-6th), R.Laird (PSD-66th), J.Lloyd (PSD-106th)
T: J.Viney (PSD-15th)
U: T.Greene (MSD-25th)
R: J.Watts (MSD-14th), T.Boak (Retained-Sub 20)
Unlucky but notable omission who was dropped for the GF only: J.Johanissen (PSD-135th)
Lottery Ball Finals Series
Congratulations to the Squadron for winning the LB GF and securing 5 lottery balls. The order of lottery ball allocations are as follows:
- Squadron 5
- Krushers 4
- Real Saints 3
- Rhubarbs 2
- Brewsers 1
Lottery to be drawn sometime soonish.
It’s been a great season and I’ll wrap up the highlights later, but there will be a little more to do before we enter the post season break with the imminent release of 3 new proposed positions shortly for discussion and voting on this week.
In addition the preliminary elite/top 20 stats and HFFL mastersheet will be released after the final AFL regular season round.
Kind Regards,
