Match Previews | Ballarat and Sebastopol meet on the final day of the BFNL calendar with the competition's greatest prize on offer.
Can Sebastopol cap a fairytale week, ending a 51-year premiership drought against the high-flying Ballarat Swans?
The simple answer is, yes!
The mighty Burra thoroughly deserve their opportunity under coach of the year, Tony Lockyer.
Character and heart in isolation gives them a chance, but can they reproduce in a fourth final to overcome a Swans’ outfit firing on all cylinders?
It’s a ‘big’ ask!
The Burra’s accountability and intent without the ball last week was enough to restrict North Ballarat to 258 disposals, some 52 below the Roosters’ season average.
On paper, the Swans bat deeper but the Burra bring something extra to the table that cannot be underestimated.
Lockyer’s group have lost just four of 21 games this season and land at City Oval with a 2-1 head-to-head advantage over Ash Baker’s Swans.
