With the Bulldogs dominating the home and away series, Clark, Gordon and Burhop will take catching.

Clark has kicked 62 votes and dominated as an onballer, Burhop boasts 52 goals and Gordon has been prolific around the packs.

But the challenges are expected to come from several directions.

Federal’s Daniel Hales should poll well while Mitch Paton, Dylan Haycraft, Tim Seymour and Steve Bradshaw have also enjoyed strong seasons.

Cudgewa’s Jake Vinge, Mitch Pynappels and Yarrod Hamilton and Corryong’s Matt McNamara, Evan and Thomas Nicholas and Jarrod Williams will also be around the mark.

Luke and Ryan Kirkwood have had good seasons at Tumbarumba and Ben McCarthy, Matt Storey and Clayton Bosman should lead the way at Border-Walwa.

The count will be held at Corryong from 6pm.

Meanwhile, Cudgewa will be out to win its first final since the 2016 first-semi final when it takes on Corryong at Cudgewa on Saturday.

The Blues beat their opponents last weekend and Corryong coach Evan Nicholas will need a far better performance to stay in the premiership race.

“We’re looking forward to it,” Nicholas said.

“All season we have been trying to settle a side and hopefully we can get everyone out there on Saturday.

“It’s a big test for the boys this weekend.”
