IF you told me eight weeks ago Jindera would be playing in the grand final, I would have said no chance.

They looked a bit lethargic against us in round 16 but two big wins to finish off the season must have triggered something because they have been a different side.
They seem to be running in numbers and covering the ground well.
Some of their lesser lights have stood up and Trent Castles is firing.
Brock-Burrum deserve to start favourites after a solid season and beating Henty comfortably in their last final.
The Saints are even around the ground and their midfield and forward lines are strengths but I think Jindera can get a hold of their back six especially if they get the ball in quickly to Castles and Dylan Pettingill before Matt Seiter charges back into their space like he did to Henty’s Damian Cupido.
Key match-ups
Sam Myors (Jindera) v John-Roy Williams (BB)
Myors is having a super finals series and has probably been their best player and I hope Brock-Burrum throw Williams onto him so Myors doesn't get it all his own way.
Tom Weldon (Jindera) v Josh McCudden (BB)
Weldon usually goes to the opposition’s best and most damaging player and McCudden is their most damaging player.
He gets it on the outside, has good skills and most importantly kicks goals. Weldon is quality veteran who battles hard every week.
Brock-Burrum have a more even settled side and should win but Jindera is riding this wave of momentum.
Will it continue?
Verdict: BB by 30 points
