"They've had our measure reasonably comfortably in both games, it's been close up to three-quarter time, they've wrestled the momentum in the last quarter," coach Mark Brown revealed.

"It's hard comparing one match to the next because the first time, we were both reasonably strong, the second time there were no under 19s and this time all your Vic Country talent, in both the under 17s and under 19s, are away because they have Vic Country representative duties."

Yarrawonga's Caleb Mitchell will debut.
