6 other sides wishing they were playing today!, would think that not playing today would be a major failure as two day comp is all clubs #1 priority
5/60 at lunch you would think puts them behind the 8 ball at present, still lots of overs to be played, if they can scrape 200+, back in it
Losing three finals in one season would hurt A LOT
Bowering is playing, they left out Isaac Higgins.
This decision is not great for team morale, he is popular member of the team, played every game and gets dropped for the biggest game of the season. Who knows how this affects other players in the team mentally, but certainly would not help.
Barring a major catastrophe, Port will win and the $40k for Valente and Andrews will be considered money well spent. Glenelg losing all three Grand Finals is a disaster. This squad not to have any flags over last few seasons is a huge failure, what do they do about it going forward? Mentally they are screwed.
Don’t agree with the comment re major failure not making two day finals? Who has had successful or failed season in 2023/24?
Port - two day champs - successful
West Torrens - two Premierships and 3rd in two day beaten by eventual Premier - successful
Glenelg - three GF’s and three losses - failure
Other five teams - failure
PS if Port lose from here, please delete the above
