Despite not winning on the weekend in the Landmark Regional Round, the SWFL is still a chance of making the Landmark Championship Grand Final on Sunday, 9 July 2017.
Quite obviously, the easiest way for the SWFL to qualify will be to win both of their round robin fixtures on Saturday, 8 July 2017, to be played at Fremantle Community Bank Oval.
Peel Football League who defeated SWFL on Saturday, will play Upper Great Southern Football League in the first fixture when all of the teams travel to Perth. Both teams won their Regional Round fixtures with UGSFL thrashing LSWFL by 98 points at Manjimup. SWFL will need to beat GNFL to have a chance of advancing to the Grand Final, which will be no easy feat after the GNFL trounced Avon FA by 102 points.
The other crucial fixture after the weekends results will be the match between UGSFL and GNFL, which will be played directly before the final match in the round robin which will see Avon FA play SWFL. The South West team will know the scenario going into the match what they need to do, pending if they defeat Great Northern.
Based on the weekends results there could be the chance the results could pan out like last season, where the end result of the finalists was not known until the final match was completed. For the SWFL to make the final, the SWFL will need to defeat both GNFL and Avon FA to have any chance. If Upper Great Southern defeat Peel Football League and Great Northern defeat Upper Great Southern percentage will be the deciding factor on who plays in the Grand Final, with Peel most likely to defeat LSWFL, which could see the possibility of four teams finishing on two wins after the Round Robin competition. That is a lot of ifs, buts and maybe’s, and is solely reliant on the SWFL winning both matches.
