And to be honest I’d rather we have to fight and grind this win than recline in the deckchairs, as long as we win !
I do not want to be in a must win next week !

Yes, I would like that stress removed today.

We should have stitched it that qtr.

What would we even worse, is if the Giants lose to the Injectors. Then they'll be more desperate and have more to play for. For once, go Collingwood next week. They can have their "minor" premiership, Essendon to miss out on September, then rinse and repeat their famous form in September.

Don't shoot the messenger when I say this please. But I was thinking about what Paul Keating said more than 30 years ago. I am looking at the scoreboard early and I said to myself "It was the loss we had to have". Eight in a row, I was thinking our fellas are tired. Like I said earlier, this is not an easy trip or a walkover, especially on their turf.
But to their credit, this has been a great fightback. I reckon this will go down to the wire. Double chance (more in theory than in practice) or a home elimination final is still on the cards to play for.

I actually had the same quote in my head.

Teams who end up winning the GF often have a loss in the last 2-3 weeks of the season. It helps them regain some focus.

Seven points down at the time of writing. But, we have three more interchange rotations to make than them. Just got to keep the margin within touching distance... PS. One point and two interchanges less than them.
