Up next in the 2021 club-by-club draw analysis is the season ahead for Ballarat. BFNL Media’s ‘Scoop’ will serve up an in-depth look at the pros and cons of the fixture for each club over the next two weeks.
PROS:
- Don't leave Ballarat until Round SIX (v. Sunbury)
- At home FOUR of SEVEN games Rd4 to Rd11 and Rd10 to the bye, only AWAY against Sunbury Rd6 and Melton South Rd8
CONS:
- Play FOUR of 2019 Finalists twice including Grand Final duo East Point and Sebastopol (as well as Darley and Sunbury)
- Finish season with East Point (away), Sunbury (home), Sebastopol (away) - big ask
Comment:
Can't wait to see Josh Gibson in Ballarat colours, what a coup for the club and competition on the whole. However, the Swans draw on paper has done little to enhance their finals chances. I hope I’m wrong. Coach Joe Carmody is a ripper bloke and his positivity over the group, with the addition of Gibson, will stir upset results.
