Lose the Semi Final to a side that won less than 50% of its matches..
WTF happened at Smithfield?!?

Fielded shit house apparently.
Probz got a bit cocky at times during the season, every win is a game closer to a loss.

You can't mask bad fielding and there are no individuals leading into the game, more often than not though someone steps up and does something special but it's usually someone unexpected that sneaks under the radar whether it be with the bat or the ball.
You need to be nervous, you need to be organised and you can't stuff around with Saturday rituals.
We tried getting there early for a breakfast together and all sorts of different methods but doing your usual thing works the best.
As I used to coach juniors, on Grand Final day I'd still go down to the oval at 7:45am, set up by myself and then line mark the complete boundary so there was no guessing by checking cones, a little extreme but sitting at home all day I would've played the game out 100 times in my head.
I think they won the GF before they got there, the older ones are feeling the disappointment as a couple of them should've won their 5th premiership together and the younger ones will learn that it's a marathon not a sprint.

Things may have got a bit heated on the sidelines as a result.
Started on Saturday, rolled into Sunday.
Whether true or not, I don't know, but that's the story going around.

I don't employ a fine leg ever though, i think bowlers should be disciplined enough to bowl 4th stump lines, if not then bad luck someone else will.. As a result Michael Feltus goes into 1st slip - he's arguably the best slipper i've seen in a very very long time.
For our Grand Final this week as well, I dropped a player who'd played all season for another specialist batsman (player hadn't scored many runs and batted 9/10/11 and didn't bowl much anyway), and opted to select him 12th man because he's one of the best fielders in the club, and field in place of one of the older, less able blokes to bolster our fielding.
Got to play to your strengths, and got to force some pressure on the opposition - fielding wins games..

Agree with your thoughts on fine leg as well. One of the most overrated fielding positions in the game.
In saying that we had Franky McConnell and Danny Masefield who both swung the ball in to the right handers. Both bowled at their absolute best when they had a license to attack the stumps and look for LB's and bowled. Thats sort of forced my hand to have a fine leg, otherwise the standard outside off line shouldnt require a fine leg otherwise drag them.
