Two horse race with the top two i recon.
If you recon this is a 2 horse race youngfella I have taught you nothing!
Don't you remember a side that came from 5th one year?
And how many favourites and front runners are run down in the straight?
We're sitting nicely on the fence with 1500 to go and the two or three short priced favourites are all over us at the moment....think about it TeeBee. Theres a long way to go!
i get what your saying there mate but could you really see anyone but west croydon, trinity or lockleys winning it?
I cant IMO maybe CLG if they get full strength and there sh!t together
I've based my thoughts on SAAFL History, I've been around for a while and the number of "Favourites" that have fallen at the hurdles we call Finals is astonishing, CLG's recent Finals fadeouts & the Young Deez finnishing 5th for 5 or 6 years, in a row should know what I'm talking about.
Of course Carey, your spot on, WC, Trinity & LFC look like they'll make the major Rounds, based on the first 9 games....but playing in a GF or even winning one is a long way off where you finish in Round 9.
TeeBee commented he thought it was a 2 Horse Race! I recon that's the voice of Youthful Enthusiasm and I was attempting a sprincle of Reality based on facts and history. Those who get too far ahead of themselves often are left very dissapointed.
This Demon supporter is very keen to see his club move back up the SAAFL Ladder and is super impressed with 8 of the 1st 9 games, played by the Vidal Sassoon Demons.
However, dare I say it? The only way to move up is to be winning games at the end of the season. By playing one game at a time and respecting every opponent! Save the arrogance for the footy field when the ball is to be won.
