Roos, Goondiwind­i in possible final preview

-

AUSTRALIAN RULES: Coolaroo hosts Goondiwind­i in what could be a preview of the AFL Darling Downs division one eliminatio­n semi-final.

The third-placed ‘Roos take on fourth-placed Goondiwind­i at Gold Park on Saturday in the last round aiming to build momentum for the finals and push for a top two spot.

A Coolaroo win will give them a chance of replacing South Burnett in second spot.

Goondiwind­i also has something to play for as the Hawks will be keen to compete with Coolaroo in a bid to prepare for a possible final, but also because a big loss in the last round could open the door for South Toowoomba to steal fourth spot.

Fifth-placed South Toowoomba is still a mathematic­al chance of making the finals but the Bombers need Coolaroo to beat Goondiwind­i by a massive score and then beat second-placed South Burnett by a huge margin as well to see percentage decide fourth spot.

But if the games play to the form guide, Coolaroo and Goondiwind­i will meet on Saturday in a semi-final preview.

Toowoomba Tigers also host minor premier University at Rockville Park.

South Toowoomba and South Burnett also clash in a women’s semi-final preview at Heritage Oval, while minor premiers Toowoomba Tigers tune up for the finals at home against Lockyer-Warwick.
