Oh no, the regular footy season is over, it's all very sad. No more worrying about how your team will go, no more worrying about getting the tips in on time and then checking on my additions on the score sheets. Actually i think i have made minimum mistakes this year.
A few upsets to finish the regular season. Teams not in top 8 had nothing to lose so why not go out and try to upset the other. Broncos came from nowhere to make sure Doggies did not make the top 8. Phins were lucky to get a win over the Titans and Rabbits were always going to beat a 2nd rate Rooster team.
Manly put the wind up the Kiwis to nearly cause a massive upset but Kiwis did well to get the field goal and get the win. Where has the Raiders form been all season, a massive upset win over the C'girls who are in top 8. Storm showed the Sharkies they have a lot of work to do if they want to stay in the running for a semi final spot and then Dragqueens upset the Eels with a 2pt field goal to win the game. Pesky Panthers were far too good for the Tigers and win the the minor premiership. The biggest upset was the Knights winning the bye and collecting the 2pts.
If your team did not make the top 8 it's a case of who to barrack for. The team playing against the most disliked team or a team you are fond of. For me it will be Rabbits and Kiwis.
Friday kicks off with the Rabbits taking on the Knights. I don't dislike the Knights but cannot go against the Rabbits. Saturday starts with Kiwis against the Phins. Lucky both these teams get a 2nd chance as they both finished in top 4. Next up the Sharkies play the C'girls. Both lost last round so it's a hard pick. To finish off the round the Sunday arvo game will be huge with pesky Panthers playing the Roosters .Will resting the team in the last round back fire on those cocky Roosters or will they be refreshed and raring to go.
The sausage sizzle is on this Saturday the 12th of Sept at 2pm at 14 Harbour st, through to the backyard or the back entrance which has a Bayside rental sign on the gate, It's about 23 Wooli st. It's Byo alcohol, drinks, husbands, wives and partners.
All will be revealed at the sausage sizzle as to who ended on the podium, who was nowhere near it and other surprises. Till next week, if your team is still playing, good luck to them. Till next week Sea eagle Sue.
