As lame as this might sound, I reckon if it wasn't for Goodwin finally addressing our failure to make it into the finals, I would not be giving too much of a stuff about these games. He added some closure to my frustration, enough to allow me to lift my spirits and be interested in watching a finals series that does not contain the MFC. I'm not going to do a Taylor Adams and say "we deserved to play finals" because we clearly didn't.
So it starts tonight in Adelaide with what should be a win to the Crows. I'm still holed up in Orange in central NSW so given that the Giants are playing it'll be televised on regional TV. I'd be skeptical of watching any footy out here if there wasn't a Sydney team playing tonight.
Anyway, I'm hoping the Crows get up tonight because I just do not ever want to see the Giants win a flag.
In other games:
Tigers (yeah I hate them but Cats have had too much success of recent times)
Swans for obvious reasons.
Power.
