Getting a Thursday night final will be good if we can progress through the finals, should get at least another 8 day break if we win and perhaps another 8 day break before the prelim. It could be a schedule that Jobe would appreciate.
Am I getting too far ahead of myself here?
We will have to put up with a 7 day break before the Grand Final, I suppose I could live with that.
Freo: I want a win that puts us above wc and Joe to kick a big bag(think 6 plus) so he is some sort of show for the Coleman. Still haven’t given up hope.
i.e. the cases not involving us playing Sydney or Port are rather niche (while the above is only 59% of combinations, a significant proportion of the remaining arrangements are the ones where we don’t make the eight).
On one hand we will be reasonably confident that we are good enough, but a Thursday night when everyone has to work the next day won’t really feel like “finals fever” at all.
At least when we lost to North it was after a BBQ and a day on the ■■■■, Thursday night is just so meh…
Considering how much angst (in this thread alone) has gone into ensuring a finals berth, it could all be over in a very forgettable fashion, which could be a good thing if we lose I suppose.
It was a really bad one mate. It was between a grade 2 and grade 3 tear. It’s genuinely touch and go.
It’s quite common to be able to tick the legs over pretty early after a tear like he’s had but progressing to high speed running at maximum intensity can take a long time.
