As we enter the final home and away round for Season 33, a quick glance at the ladder tells us there's a four-way FIGHT for the last finals ("last finals" is an interesting phrase, isn't it?) position.
Thanks to Ljp86, the current ladder:
The Royals, Demons, Swamprats, and Wonders are all fighting for one spot, and four is not the same as one - three teams will miss out. So - which games are the ones to keep an eye on this coming Sunday?
If not for a cheeky little team sheet infraction earlier in the season, this thread might not even be necessary; the Royals would be a game and considerable percentage clear of the next best team. But having been docked two premiership points, the Royals' commendable percentage is unlikely to factor.
A win means finals for a Royals, but a loss likely means they miss (unless the Wonders lose, and the Swamprats and Demons tie). Our dear friend PMBangers will be hoping for the former, at which point all would be forgiven. GreyCrow and nahnah have put in excellent qooty seasons, and the Royals will be hoping for more of the same on the weekend.
The Warriors are safely in the finals, but the Wonders need results to go their way. First, they need the Royals to lose. Then, they need to overtake the winner of the Swamprats/Demons - and that's all assuming that they win their own game against the Warriors. It's unlikely, but it's possible.
Could Brenton Davy not only drag the Wonders across the line, but also bag a Fred Medal? Time will tell.
And then we have arguably the most interesting game of the round: the Swamprats and the Demons. If the Royals lose, the winner of the Swamprats and the Demons is in the box seat to progress.
okeydoke7 will be looking to put on a clinic, kick goal 900, and boot their former team the Demons out of the finals hunt.
With 11 teams still in contention, and TJASTA and ImissFrosty hoping for the wooden spoon, it shapes up to be an interesting final round in Sweet. What are your predictions?
