A hu...Now that’s put the cat amongst the pigeons. <br />A huge Olympic turnaround from their last Zebras fixture and a gutsy win from a 2 goal half time deficit (The Devil’s Lead indeed !). Zebras now with 3 losses from their last 4 games and out of the Ferrari & into the Fiat - for the moment at least.<br />Throw in the Uni v Clarence result today and the League is wide open going into the final round. Shows that any team in this competition can beat any other “on the day” and that it will be the most consistent side over the most games that wins the league title. The relegation battle is also open so no easy games for anyone for the rest of the season.<br />It’s a good example of the value of the home & away league approach (vs a finals AFL type series) to judge the best team over the duration of the season. Finals & knockouts have their place but definitely belong in separate competitions to the league.Greg Ludfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13017731311835002868noreply@blogger.com
