(In the previous 5 years, it was 9/10 that made GF).
The double chance is what we want and top 4 gets us that. Home ground advantage for top 2, may not be possible with lockdowns

Umpires massively kiss the Demons on the dick.
Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

Umpire didn't call fifty when it was clearly fifty, and didn't call time on either.

Dees will choke in finals. I'm not convinced that we won't as well, but the Demons definitely will.

Metastatic cancer doesn't looks good for him. And he will be ****ed from chemo.
Suggests they are unsure where it has spread.
Good luck to him.
The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride.

I don't think it has spread. He was previously treated for testicular cancer last year, with a lump removed, and this is a recurrence - at least that's how I interpreted 'secondary occurrence'. Chemo is nasty though, wish him well.
