You can tell we've got a Monday game.
How else do you know who we will be playing in the finals come the end of the season in 09.
Are you serious? The football media in Melbourne is at saturation point. One can't turn the television or radio on without football being discussed yet i apparently need to look at the ladder to know who we're playing or might play in the finals? Hmmm.
Also knowing when we've gauranteed a top 2 spot is good info to have if you're having a punt.
And one can only find out that information from looking at the ladder?
I'd put money on it that you've commented on the ladder in a post in the last two years as well. Probably around the time the discussion about resting players came up last year. Can't be stuffed looking though.
So one can only have knowledge of their teams ladder position if they've actually looked at the ladder? Some bizarre logic in this thread.
Also, you happen to be watching the news; they show the ladder.
You read any paper; they show the ladder.
I'm hardly going to avert my eyes when it's shown on the news but i certainly don't pay any attention to it, same goes for the one in the paper (on the rare occasion i actually read the physical edition).
That means that he pays no attention to the ladder positions and battles of any other team, which is very weird.
Why would i care where two random teams are on the ladder or which random teams are fighting for eighth spot? I care about Geelong and Geelong only and whilst i enjoy watching other teams play i've got no interest in them past that.
One last time.
The ladder is only relevant for the last few rounds and even then it only really matters if you're involved in a tight tussle for a top four or eight spot.
In the last three years we've been lucky enough to not have to worry about such things so the ladder has been wholly irrelevant to me during that period.
Not that hard a concept to get ones head around, i'd have thought.
