Of all four finals this week, you lost by the highest margin
You managed not to burn through all your interchanges before the end of the game
You desperately wanted Dunkley but couldn’t get him
Fantasia, Daniher & Dunkley still playing finals. You’re not
You thought Stringer was your saviour. Cute.
But thanks for your help in getting Richards & Schache
The Windy Hill bowls club kicked your ass, so you are in Tulla
TB4, ASADA, WADA
Just picks 11, 48 & 54 to keep rebuilding
You are no closer to your next finals win, than from your last. Wright, Draper, Smith et al aren’t going to lift you a level
