Comment:
The Cobras will be thrilled with their draw given the nightmare that was planned for them in 2020. Bacchus Marsh are not here to make up the numbers and consider themselves a legitimate top four chance with their new additions over the off season. The draw has absolutely improved their currency, but they're coming from a fair way back. Nonetheless, they'll be smiling at Cobra land.
