I have watched a fair bit of the Platinum this year and think any of the top 3 (Penrith, Mac U or Power) can win it. The Magic have been decimated by injury for the entire season and am lead to believe they will have 9 "First Graders" unavailable through Injury (6 have missed majority of season through injury) for their first final on Sunday V Power. Which is consistent with their back end of the year drop off. So don't think they will get past Southern Power who from what I have seen are the fittest and best skilled.

I am a believer in the team that plays together more often will more than likely have success. Looking at total players used this year for each first grade side (Power 38, Rams 39, Mac U 42, Magic 59), the top 3 play together regularly which makes for a HOT finals series.

The ressies comp also looks pretty open too with most of the top 4 beating each other at one point.

Interesting to hear how teams are tracking and any thoughts on results for the finals.
Platinum Ressies can be won by any of the top 4, very evenly matched. Both games should be beauties - Power v Mac Uni a GF replay and always a fierce contest, then both Rams & Magic in great form at the right time.
