Belconnen went into the match on the back of 11 that they can win the premiership.

Ainslie have been the surprise packet of 2008 and with his quality side still developing, Rouke is understandably excited for what the next few years hold.

p.p. First news swept the football community with no ambiguity that Steve Mahar was out for the season with a badly damaged leg. Then it was in disbelief that the Rep coaches heard Steve’s intention of playing again this season. And last weekend the Magpies coach took to the field. His presence will create a selection issue or two for the other finalists and there is no doubt his return to the field with his mate, and in one measure the most decorated current AFL Canberra player, Brett Knowles. Steve’s courage to return from serious injury to lead his team into yet another finals series earns him the Kingston Physio Body on the Line Award.
