ROCHESTER v BENALLA
Benalla is undoubtedly the form team of the competition.
The Saints rounded out their home-and-away campaign in second spot after eleven consecutive wins, with their average winning margin been more than 10 goals.
Josh Mellington has led the forward line and he finished the season with 95 goals after a bag of 11 against the Magpies.
After back-to-back losses, the Tigers have tuned up with some solid performances and the win against fellow premiership contender Kyabram was the perfect game to have heading into the arm wrestle with Benalla.
On-ballers Nicholas Mellington, Ryan Colbert, William Martiniello, Luke Morgan and Joshua Marchbank have been in ripping form at the back end of the season while Lachlan Smith continues to dominate games.
The Tigers lost no friends when they lost to Benalla in the wet.
Skipper Elliot Bowen is in really good form, hard-nut, Daniel Anderson will give the Tigers the grunt around the contest while Dylan Cuttriss and Steven Stroobants will be two of the key targets down forward.
Mitchell Bright, Ash Watson and Jacob Perry will be others looked on to have big games while the coach James Flaherty will be very important down back.
2015 RECORD AGAINST EACH OTHER: 1-1.
