yes, I can. Haven't I told you yet? Part of the deal with The Ar**hole Table this weekend is that We are playing, due to the injury list!

Nup that's us - 20 years since our last flag so it could well be 30 before the Chooks win it again?

The way we played yesterday South would be favourites to get in. Cant see Port beating the Eagles

if it was at Noarlunga I might be inclined to agree but you should win at The Parade in a close one. Put it this way, no loss if you lose, same as Us.

Yeah could be a week where all of the top 3 relax a little before finals and have nothing to gain.
So Port may be in box seat
Could all of the Top 4 not win in the same week?

Give the magpies a huge chance next weekend. Should have ins that include ebert, butcher, banner, surjan...

But as they will all play for the Power this afternoon at Adelaide Oval, doesn't that mean they can't play SANFL next week?

I thought the same.

Geez i wish the SANFL would make these rules clear, I was led to believe they could play for their SANFL clubs next week but their matches dont count towards qualification.

That was my understanding, but seeing they are all qualified that part doesn't matter

They cant play in the last round unless they played the previous round or didnt play AFL the previous rnd They can however come back for finals
