Tough night for me tonight Holz, want Goldy and Swallow to do well for SC as well as I've got them both and making one VC as well....after tonight we'll have a good gauge of how our matchup is looking!

Will update this as real scores replace average scores....

[Nige]

I'm still undecided if I'd be happier for us to miraculously finish 4th or stay 5th.  :-X

[CrowsFan]

4th means you only need to win 3 games to win the grand final, 5th means you need to win 4 games. I know which one I would prefer ;)

[Nails]

You'd have to want to finish 4th...

Lose 1st week as 4th - You get a home final vs. a 5th-8th side in week 2, (if you won) prelim final @ home

Finish 5th - win 1st week, get an away game vs. a 1-4 team, lose eliminated

So the odds are you'd finish 5th and win or finish 4th and lose 1st week

The differences are:
Finish 4th = home final against crappier side in 2nd finals week
Finish 5th = away against a better side in 2nd finals week

Why would you want to finish 5th?

Go HT!! 8)
