Final results.... and other things

Another 140 odd sausages, another 160 odd beers, and another beautiful Brisbane night saw the Grand Final match up between Slamtown and Blitz. Slamtown were veterans of this moment, and Blitz had risen spectacularly this season to the minor premiers after submitting to the label of 'development team' for the last year.

Slamtown came out strong and scored the first couple, scoring up the middle with lots of hard cutting.

Blitz came back, staying within a few points.

One thing featured heavy throughout the game - the contest between Beast and Myles. Head to head in the air its hard to say - I'd normally give it to Myles on experience. Myles tends to look like he has a better read on the disc and has the better hands, but Beast has the better leap and was better positioned. Myles has a nicer throw after he catches it, but that doesn't help you much if the other guy gets the disc first. Which happened. A lot.

Slamtown pulled away at some point before half - was looking 8-4 at one stage. And then they pulled away again.

Blitz came back in the end, seemingly chucking everything they had at them. Even put on a zone at one point. But it was looking like the points they were winning were coming with too hard a fight, and not often enough.

Slamtown took the game out, final score (someone correct me here) 14-8.

A massive congratulations to Stef and the boys from the Gold Coast. They work harder than most teams on the field, and they nailed the final with Ultimate that was hard to find a fault. Although its nothing like winning another GF, Stef grabbed a nice pack and some beer for the boys.

For the other results of this season...

Surprisingly, similar to last season the MVP goes to someone from the top four teams. Goes to show that although a simple MVP vote is at times flawed, its not redundant either. Reece 'Junior' Stewart was the proud receipt of a sweet Berghaus pack and a special beer. With the modern dominance of Bryan/Dan/Bryan/Dan in Cobras, it means he's played bloody well to stand out.

Best on field on Grand Final night was Rob the Beast, and he grabbed some sweet beer to match his sweet orange sweater.

Last but most definitely not least, Spirit. I'd love to say that it was close, and everyone played with such high spirit that it came down to the last few rounds. But I'd be lying - Heroes smashed it, almost a whole spirit point above the next team. Great job Seb.

Thanks for the fantastic night - Brisbane Ultimate came out to enjoy some sweet Ultimate with the BPL and WUFL finals happening at the same time.
