OPPOSING CLUBS: Panthers remain favourite, Etrridge for first goal

Bell Post Hill will remain marginal favourite in tomorrow’s senior grand final according to our league’s star players.

Less than 24 hours after eight of our 15 expert tipsters judged Bell Post HillĀ  most likely to win the blockbuster, the league’s remaining 11 team of the year members had their say this morning.

And not much has changed.

Six stars have picked the Panthers to secure a seventh flag in eight years including Thomson playing coach Reece Holwell and our 2017 Rookie of the Year Dylan Shelley (Corio).

Hawk Michael Best and Panther veteran Adrian Fantella received three votes each for the best on ground medal.

Fantella, who will play in his 10th consecutive senior grand final, has also been predicted for the first goal by Bannockburn ball winner Jack Brauman (the opening goal-kicker from the 2016 GDFL grand final).
