Vic Country will play its final game of the carnival, hoping to get a win against fellow winless side Western Australia, while South Australia will hope to maintain its unbeaten streak and play off in a \u201cgrand final\u201d against Vic Metro in the final round when the Croweaters take on the Allies.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ALLIES VS. SOUTH AUSTRALIA<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Friday, June 29, 2.10pm<\/strong><br \/><strong>GMHBA Stadium, Geelong<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In the second clash, the Allies will face South Australia in lieu of keeping their slim National Under 18s Championships title hopes alive. They will need to win their two remaining games and hope South Australia beat Vic Metro, but also have enough percentage to overtake the Croweaters who dominated Western Australia in the opening round. The Allies have made seven changes to the squad that was terribly unlucky against Vic Metro, and brought in some fresh legs.\u00a0<strong>Connor Budarick<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Joshua Stern<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Rhyan Mansell<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>Caleb Graham<\/strong>\u00a0all come into the team and slot up forward in a different looking set-up, while\u00a0<strong>Guy Richardson<\/strong>\u00a0sets up at half-back and<strong>\u00a0Jesse Quint<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>Joey Reinhard<\/strong>\u00a0have been named on the bench.\u00a0<strong>Baxter Norton<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Blair Rubock<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Ethan Jackson<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>James Peatling<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Lachlan McDonald<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Matt McGuiness<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>James Tomkinson<\/strong>\u00a0are listed as the outs. McGuiness and\u00a0<strong>Michael Mummery<\/strong>\u00a0are the two emergencies for the match.<\/p>\n<p>For South Australia, the Croweaters have brought an extended squad to Victoria, with\u00a0<strong>Jacob Collins<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>Mihail Lochowiak<\/strong>\u00a0on standby for the clash against the Allies. The four ins are big ball-winner\u00a0<strong>Boyd Woodcock<\/strong>, ruckman\u00a0<strong>James Siviour<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 who has battled with injuries \u2013 defender\u00a0<strong>Aaron Nietschke<\/strong>\u00a0and over-age forward\u00a0<strong>Oscar Chapman<\/strong>. The quartet replace\u00a0<strong>Tate Coleman<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Jake Tarca<\/strong>, the injured\u00a0<strong>James Braidwood<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>Job Colwell<\/strong>\u00a0in the side. South Australia are likely to set-up a \u201cgrand final\u201d with Vic Metro regardless of result given their superior percentage, but a win here would mathematically knock the Allies out of the race.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Allies:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>B: 47.

WESTERN AUSTRALIA<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Friday, June 29, 4.40pm<\/strong><br \/><strong>GMHBA Stadium, Geelong<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Vic Country have made four changes at the selection table, bringing in six players to create an extended bench ahead of the clash with Western Australia tomorrow. Two debutants come into the side in Bendigo Pioneers\u2019\u00a0<strong>Brodie Kemp<\/strong>, and Murray Bushrangers\u2019\u00a0<strong>Ely Smith<\/strong>. The inside midfielder was a late call-up this week to the squad after initially missing the cut. But with injuries to\u00a0<strong>Jye Caldwell<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>Mitch Riordan<\/strong>, and superb TAC Cup form, Smith makes it into the team. He is joined in there by\u00a0<strong>Brock Smith<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Matty Lloyd<\/strong>\u00a0and Bushrangers teammates\u00a0<strong>Zane Barzen<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>Hudson Garoni<\/strong>\u00a0who bounced back from missing last week with good form in the TAC Cup.
