Well what an utter catastrophe that was! A massive four points out the window. Definitely no way I will hold onto my 7th spot this time. You don't lose four points and expect to hold onto your position, it just will not happen. Four more nails into the Top Six coffin. On what is my worst performance of the year so far this goes to prove you cannot beat the curse of The Three Weeks. Regardless of what strategy one employs to try beat it, the curse of The Three Weeks always finds a way. It happened last year through the points variance, and this year it happens through the tipping points. The scary thing is there are still three matches tomorrow and two of them are no certainties so a potential for an even worse result by the end of tomorrow. So I guess let's look at those three matches.
Sydney and Melbourne. One would think that Sydney should surely win that one. But as mother says there is no such thing as a certainty in football in regards to match results.
Then there is Freo and the Saints. There are two things going in Freo's favor. The match is at Pattersons where as usual there won't be any rain, it never rains here! LOL! Secondly Freo had a number of top players coming back from injuries. So one would think Freo should win that one too, but the Saints are better than the Demons and they could very well put up enough of a fight to make it over the line.
Essendon and Port, well that one could go either way. The poor ole Bombers embroiled in yet more controversies and it has been said they could have premiership points stripped away from them. Such a thing will play heavily on their minds, just a matter of how it will affect their performances. In any case I will go with the Bombers and I won't make any threats about turning them into Weavils and feeding them to the piranhas cos my season is finished anyway, it is just a matter of going through the motions and whether I can stay at least in the top half of the office competition.
