This is both teams first taste of finals footy. The Roos, who have sat on top all season, face the rising challenge in the underdog Cockatoos.

The Roos have dominated all season. They have won 7 games and lost 2, both at home. They managed to just overcome the Wombats at home and now they play the Cockatoos there.

The Cockatoos have won 5 and lost 4. Virtually un-injured they are in magnificent form.

We now take a look at both teams standings.

  1. Sitting on the top of the ladder, the Kangaroos have had a magnificent season. They are 7-1 and 1 draw. However, they had a horror loss to the Platypus in Round 9. They still don’t have their star mid or their star forwards. There are holes everywhere in this young side. The question is, can the Roos continue their dream season? Can they beat the Wombats?

2. The ever consistent Kookaburras. This is their third season in a row in the finals. Sitting at 7-2. They are the oldest team in the competition, but they hold the record for the most wins ever. They have lost a few players this season, but they still are playing pretty well. Coming off a win over the reigning premiers with virtually no injures they must be feeling good. But can they overcome the Cockatoos? We can only wait.

3. The Wombats. The reigning premiers. They have had a rocky season, being 5-4. They have an injury list that goes through the roof. Now with another great mid out, they will have a mighty test against the top-of-the ladder Roos. But their defence has not yet been hit by the injury storm. That will be the decider on Thursday.

4. The mighty Cockatoos have climbed the ranks to reach fourth. Finishing 7th last year (out of 8), they have progressed forward, and with the help of a new CEO and Senior Coach they turned around. They sitting at 5-4 and have only lost one game at home. After having troubles last week in the Desert District against the Echidnas, the new agreement with the Heritage Council should make it easier to compete on Friday night.

Roos look to continue their winning streak.

By Coen Pearson

The Roos look to continue their streak of not losing a single game as they go 7-0 into their round nine clash with Platypus. The Platypus who are 3-5 no longer are in finals contention look to climb above the Possums who suffered a disappointing loss last night.

This will be senior coach Bryce Wholak’s last game as coach of the Platypus as he moves on to coach the Magpies.

The Roos did suffer a draw at Sunset Stadium to the Frogs in Round 5. With star mid Travis Combine out there could be a slight chance of an upset win.

The Platypus have only won one of their past five games over the Kookaburras at Riverland Park. But they have played some tough teams and I reckon they’re up for the challenge.
