SOME massive finals-defining games are being played out over Round 8, with a top-of-the-table clash and Grand Final review – and last year’s Grand Final replay – between Geelong Falcons and Northern Knights. No game is bigger than the first game of the round though, with the winner of Calder Cannons and Bendigo Pioneers to remain in contention for a finals spot, while the loser is almost surely out of the race. In terms of other potential finalists, Eastern Ranges and Oakleigh Chargers have to try and get past bottom two sides Gippsland Power and Greater Western Victoria (GWV) Rebels respectively. With many of the teams at full-strength it will be a highly entertaining round of action.<\/p>\r\n
