A: Mathematically Henty can leapfrog the Giants. Firstly the Swampies must upset Jindera and then also rely on the Power springing an upset against the Giants.
Q: Were the Giants disappointing last weekend against the Swampies?
A: Coach Lucas Mellier certainly let his charges know what he thought of their performance last week against Henty after delivering an old fashioned spray to his players after the match.
Q: Were the Giants stiff to lose by three points last weekend?
A: Although the Giants were well below their best, they were stiff to come up against former Carlton player Harrison Macreadie who was a surprise inclusion for his junior club.
Q: Can Jindera expect Harrison Macreadie to play this weekend?
A: The Bulldogs can breathe easy with Macreadie set to return to Williamstown this weekend for the final round of the VFL season.
Q: Who is favourite to win the Giants' best and fairest this season?
A: Midfielder Sam Herzich has had a big season for the Giants and has been one of the recruits of the year after deciding to head bush from Lavington.

MATCH OF THE ROUND - HOLBROOK v BROCK-BURRUM
Brock-Burrum found its mojo last weekend to get within 15-points of Osborne which was the raging flag favourites smallest winning margin during their 33-match winning streak. The challenge for the Saints is to now produce something similar against the Brookers who will meet Osborne in a fortnight in the second-semi final.
Verdict: Holbrook 36-points
