I'm at a total mystery as to how we'll go this year. Short of major injuries I don't see us missing the eight and a good chance of top 4 or even minor premier again. Finals are a different ball game, but if we bury a few sides along the way this year instead of 'just doing enough to win' I'll feel a lot more confident about our chances in the major round.
It surely can't be that hard for Choco to figure out a side we beat by 2 or 3 goals is going to think a few bounces of the ball the other way and we could have won - and consequently isn't going to be worried about playing us in the finals, where as a team we smash by 10+ goals is going to have thoughts we are in a class above them - even if they don't come out and say it.
With only a touch of tongue in cheek :
0 - 1 60+ point wins in the H & A : September flops again
2 - 3 : Win our first home final
4 + : GF appearance at the least
