Finals Week One Thread

Fixtures
1st Elimination Final: Carolina Panthers vs Santiago Cockerels
Very opposite results in the final round of the season - Carolina lost their big clash with Chicago, dropping from 2nd to 4th, while Santiago easily accounted for Houston to maintain a finals spot. Both teams have a wealth of star power - Ward, Bontempelli, Shiel, Dusty, and JPK vs Gawn, Zorko, Shuey, Macrae, and Ablett Duncan. Santiago have been extremely up and down all season, and will almost certainly need to be in the upswing to beat Carolina away - while Carolina, who have consistency issues of their own (140 and 111 the last fortnight), should get the job done - should.
Earlier this season: Round 9: Santiago Cockerels 17.10.112 lost to Carolina Panthers 19.9.123

2nd Elimination Final: San Francisco Grizzlies vs Anaheim Mighty Ducks
Anaheim have been respectable all year, continuing to get points and wins on the board all season despite the loss of several players due to injury or suspension. Reigning premiers San Francisco would obviously prefer not to be in the elimination final, but will have to win and get to the Grand Final the hard way. Another clash of the stars - Dangerfield obviously headlining for Anaheim, and his performance may very well decide the outcome of the match, in addition to Hannebery and Merrett, up against Stevo, Stef, Conigs and Heater. SF will be full of confidence after another nailbiting victory over Boston to equal five wins on the trot (since that last Anaheim clash), so I'll back my boys in - but will be very wary of a repeat of last time.
Earlier this season: Round 11: Anaheim Mighty Ducks 17.13.115 defeated San Francisco Grizzlies 3.94.112

Qualifying Final: Boston Terriers vs Chicago Sharks
The good news? Both of these teams will be safe no matter what happens this week. The bad news? Assuming they both get through their elimination finals, Carolina and San Francisco await these two teams next week - meaning failing to secure a win this week and the future double chance (complicated finals system I know) will hurt. Boston obviously have a team of champions (Pendles, Priddis, Neale, Cotchin, Gray, and Dal Santo in the midfield alone), but are they a champion team? The performance of the fringe players such as Kelly, Ross, Biggs, Martin, Robinson, and Wright may dictate this game. As for Chicago? They didn't name a team last week but still got over the line against the highly-fancied Carolina. Selwood and Parker form a lethal co-captaincy duo, but is that enough to get up in Boston? Their last clash, a pretty comfortable Chicago victory, will spur the Sharks on, while Boston have their own encouragement - playing for Mitch Wallis, who brutally broke his leg last round. I'll back the Terriers to get the win, with not much certainty.
Earlier this season: Round 6: Chicago Sharks 16.15.111 lost to Boston Terriers 16.16.112
Round 12: Chicago Sharks 20.9.129 defeated Boston Terriers 16.19.115
