Finals Make Up

[Fricky]

Is it just me or is it a tad unfair that we play our game after all the others therefore knowing our destiny. Surely it would be fairer for all sides to play at the same time. Fairness doesnt seem to be in the SANFL charter though

Absolutely correct. Would be ropable if I were a South supporter. Presumably driven by broadcast time preferences for Ch 7 with the Crows having an early game Sat. Ideally, the SANFL would say, 'we're happy to accommodate the rest of the year, but in the final round of the year the integrity of the comp holds sway over outside interests'. Like that'd happen. Because SANFL 2014 is so good at protecting the integrity of the comp.

But even as a fallback, the Port v Glenelg game was always the one least likely to have an impact on the makeup of the 5, and should've been the broadcast game. Broadcasting South v West proves Ch 7 is not averse to showing dud games of little interest.

Sacred Heart OC are playing Walkerville on The Parade that day too. B grade at 11:45, A grade at 1:45, SANFL at 4:40.

Ben Warren has obviously discounted the possibility that South could beat Sturt by 8 goals + in his weekly wrap-up on the Norwood website: "Our equation is very simple, win and we will face Sturt at Adelaide oval in the Qualifying final".

To be fair to him, I guess a lot of South supporters will probably discount that possibility, too.
