South have, that's what sets them apart. :)

Nah, all very close, but Sturt gets my vote.

Whilst I didn't say it at the time but our last nine games have arguably demonstrated that South didn't beat us that game - we beat ourselves with our sh!thouse attitude on the game. We thought we just had to rock up to get the points and it didn't happen. Mark said a few home truths post game and thankfully we left that attitude behind in the visitors changerooms on March 31.
Let that be a lesson to you Port, no one beats the Bays five times in a row in a GF and gets away with it!!!

Perhaps get a bit more finals experience? Thus far Sturt and the Bays have done about as well as each other - in which case Sturt deserves favouritism, due to a little more experience with playing in September. I wouldn't write Centrals off yet either, they'll lift a cog come September.

i told you that after the match that we were not 'switched on' & you had a friendly go at me, now you agree when it is obvious

ps, i read the first line :wink:

ps again, also perhaps that loss has helped with all the games since ?!! :wink:
i thought secret groups were a thing of the past, well not on websites anyway

LOL

We like having friendly goes at each other don't we Bayman.... :wink:

Despite my post above I still think South deserve some credit for how they played in Rd 1 too, even though as you said we weren't switched on.

No no no no no.

Blues overwhelming favourites. Too many talented and finals-experienced players will see them listed as short priced favourites on Grand Final day. The Bays will have their work cut out in getting past the perennial finals champs Central District on Preliminary Final day.

I laughed last year when Peter etc were carrying on about "baby blues" hmmm. Nelson, Sheedy, Whiteman, Wicks, Feast, Chambers, and the addition of Perrie and McGlone = one of the most experienced sides in the comp!

Juicy odds on North :shock: if they can "un-implode" i reckon they can still give it a big shake, very talented list.

:lol:


even taking away the fact I want to put the mockers on the bays ;), they truly are the team to beat and as much as you dont like is sudo, they are huge favs for the flag. if I was in town, id enjoy watching their style of play.

while yes we do have finals experience, which team went further last year to gain a little of that experience eh?

your kidding yourselves if you think its all going to come down to 'finals experience' even a little lol.

glenelg are the odds on favourites to win the premiership which they havent done since 1986. it is between sturt and centrals, and a dark horse being north to be the runner-up.

Here here .. WWTFC just making up the numbers .. Sturt will be one of the other two, who won't be West or Port ...
But yes, it was a pretty pointless comment wasn't it?!
