ONE of football’s most pressing questions is the ability to rebound from adversity. Sandringham found itself needing to address such a situation after North Ballarat snatched a thrilling win in the Qualifying Final a week earlier. The Dragons delivered such an answer in emphatic fashion when they ended Geelong Falcons season with a 25-point win in the Semi Final, 11.12.78 to 7.11.53. Signifi cantly, Sandringham was able to take control from the outset and just as importantly at no stage did they open the door to allow Geelong to come back. The Dragons set the tone for the match with its four to one goal opening quarter.

DID Dandenong Stingrays ever recover from its fi nal quarter Qualifying Final fade out? All the indicators suggest they didn’t as Oakleigh Chargers delivered the TKO punch that saw Dandenong disappear from premiership calculations in straight sets fashion. After witnessing Gippsland Power surge over the top of them in a 7.3 to 0.0 fi nal term to deny them a Preliminary Final spot, the Stingrays were always going to be vulnerable in the Semi Final.
