The Chosen
Fred Wood (13)
Knox 27 defeated Barker 26
St Aloysius 30 def Cranbrook 10. Aloys opened the scoring and stayed ahead throughout despite a red card to captain Harry Williams 3 minutes before half-time for what most at the ground considered to be an affectionate and endearing head massage of an opposition player. 4 tries to 2 with the 2nd Cranbrook try on the bell, the Williams send-off, as is often the case, galvanised the Aloys pack, in particular, and the boys in blue and gold never looked like coming away with anything other than a win. Luke Vevers controlled play from 10 and set the back-line alight with flat passes and deft kicking, it was a good win to end the season.
could anyone at the game possibly give a more extensive report?

great predictions.....
Barker played a strong 1st half howeve Knox deprived access to the ball during the second half and held of the 1 point at the end. Credit to both teams for a solid game that re enforces the unpredictable rivalry. Barker held their heads down but lifted their spirit as their crowd out numbered Knox and reminded them of the premiership. Creely, Stoltz, Flaherty all played well

an overcast day at Knox yesterday saw the biggest upset of the season. I'm sorry to say that I, along with many dedicated Barker supporters, could not help but walk out of the Knox grounds with an overarching bitterness. There is no discredit to the boys on the field, each and every one of them showed outstanding commitment and skill. But Knox had a point to prove, and they must be congratulated on their sheer determination to overcome a 12 point deficit at half time to keep Barker scoreless in the second half of the game (the first time this has been done all season). Well done to the Knox boys, a memorable last game for both teams. Barker walked away champions to the applause of the crowd but I couldn't help but agree with a spectator beside me who I heard say "jeez it would have been nice to get a win today though".

no - coz unless your John Howard, Pauline Hanson, Julia Gollard or John Oneil himself - we couldn't care.

The rules of Gaggerland preclude playing the man. I will restrain myself and comply.
The sun comes up in the East and goes down in the West. Has done for a long time, and will continue to do so for a fair while yet. CAS has been around for a while, and has a few more years to go
If you have something valuable to contribute, then continue to do so.
If you are so narcissistic that it has to be all about you, rather than the footy, then perhaps Facebook and twitter are the better spaces for you to occupy.
Up to you really.
Whether you are known in Gaggerland by your birth name or your chosen avatar name matters little to most if not all.

And so Barker stumbled at the last hurdle, dropping a comfortable half-time lead to lose to Knox by just a single point. This was, if it makes any sense, an upset without actually being a surprise. Barker went into the game as unbeatable premiers and Knox was placed fourth of six, but the local rivalry
