Final Five

[bloods08]

Final 2 for me. Their are 7 teams that are that far behind Central and Norwood it's embarrassing.

[SDK]

For this year only a final 3.

Final 5 is fine by me seeing the Redlegs won a flag from the Elimination final ....as did Port several years later.

A real season defining round this one and exactly why a final five is the right fit for this comp. Wins to North,Port & South instead of West, Bays & Eags could have huge ramifications come end of year.

What if Sturt beat North ? May make it even more interesting ?

[The Sleeping Giant]

He was talking about this weekends round.

Glenelg could even face the spoon in a few weeks

Never mind the outcomes from this coming week's matches!

IIRC -

Port v South (Alberton)
Glenelg v West (Glenelg)
Eagles v Central (Woodville)
Sturt v North (not sure where).

[HOORAY PUNT]

North V Sturt , Prospect

Awesome Rd 14 coming up, hopefully weather stays good and the crowds turn up in force.

I much prefer a final 4, most times the 5th placed team is only there by either default or lucky enough to play on the day, make 1 v 2, and 3 v 4 as a double header, that will certainly draw a bigger crowd than 2 stand alone matches, so the SANFL will be better off financially and will have less expenses than having to run the cost of venues for an extra Saturday, the rest of the finals can be stand alone.
If your worried about the minor premier not getting a week off then give all 4 sides a week off then that would put them all on a level playing field to get over injuries etc, all teams would be full strength. During the week off, the bottom 5 sides can play a round robin comp to see who will sack their coach at seasons end.
