North aren't "gone" as they will play finals but I can't see them going too deep into September because of their draw. To make the GF North will have to play 13 weeks in a row and with the energy demands of their game style they will miss the opportunity to rest and freshen up their key players who will be suffering come September.

You can't underestimate the value to finals teams of late byes and the opportunity to have weeks off in the finals.

Given the eagles have a bye in the last round I can see them replicating the same result in the Elimination Final all things being equal.

Gone? Not on This August Forum. Imploding, perhaps, but never gone!

will struggle to get past the Elim final. There hasn't been much this season to suggest otherwise. Only a slightly better than average side.

We'll make the finals but only because the bottom 4 teams are really really really bad, we're just really really bad.
We might fluke an Elim Final win but that'll be as far as it goes, if Alleway gets up* or not will be an important factor.

We've heard maybe a week or minor surgery that will keep him out for a couple with major surgery at the end of the year.

The amount of cyberspace that has been devoted to that word "Imploding" on this forum actually makes the word "gone" refreshing.
Stuff your ******* implosions up your arse, I hope never to read the ******* word again as long as I live.
