Indeed. I'll be interested too see who is still going next week

[Mattasaurus]

Great Spot tackle by Leister there

[Bones]

Telea is Doctor Evil and has stole Austin Jordan Powers mojo.

Great to see Taylor back to his best, but Jordan looks to be in the funk that Taylor had last year.

[Machpants]

Lol ref he's fine x3 then advantage versus 3

[Machpants]

12 men for the last 2?

[Kirwan]

Tahs and Drua showing the value of a top 5/6 finals format.

Needs game time. Sure he'll come right.

But, just like with Taylor, it shouldn't come at the expense of better players.

[Bones]

@ACT-Crusader Hats off to Christie, he's playing better than I thought he could....but yeah it's the Drua I guess (he looks to have bulked up throughout the season).

[Machpants]

Lol 'blues next week, are you licking your lips?' ' it's the blues, is it? Shit yeah ' nice one Scott

[ACT Crusader]

I would much prefer a Top 5 finals system both because it creates an incentive to finish on top and also doesn’t cheapen the finals.

Week 1
1st have a bye

2nd play 3rd in the Qualifying Final, with 2nd getting home field

4th play 5th in an Elimination Final, with 4th getting home field. Loser eliminated.

Week 2
Major Semi Final: 1st plays the winner of the Qualifying Final at 1st’s home ground. Winner goes straight through to Grand Final.

Minor Semi Final: The loser of the Qualifying Final will host the Winner of the Elimination Final at their home ground. Loser eliminated.

Week 3
Preliminary Final: loser of the Major Semi Final and the winner of the Minor Semi Final.

Week 4 - Grand Final
Winner of the Major Semi Final versus the winner of the Preliminary Final.

Pretty sure he’s played all games bar one. And has gone the distance in all those games. Been much improved at this level.
