Hongjing is a FREAK.

I didn’t get to watch the game live tonight (bloody kids) but his stats look like some sort of game. You would have had me tonight but for Hongjing.

Losing Duncan 6 minutes into the second of the semi - that's going to hurt.

Hey Geelong, welcome. How is starting a franchise from scratch in div 2? Are you new or returning?

Congratulations DRebie on smashing the MVP count with three of the top 5 and claiming the win. Do you reckon Escobal was your best player this season? The MVP throws up some odd results some times. Hard luck on the quarter final slip up, by the way. Your side of the draw is pretty competitive.

hey mate, interested in your thoughts on who wins it from here after the first round of finals. I'm assuming when you mentioned only two teams that could win it you meant the Bears and the Dongs? So do you reckon that makes the Bears a walk up winner from here? Or can Trolololo or the Cheese can pull off an upset. For me personally I was rapt just to make finals because it meant I avoided the 2-3 YoYo I did for ages last time I got to this level, so I'm not expecting to go a lot further from here.

It was always between top ups and the bears. They have the best win/loss by a long way (bears would have been better if they didn't tank games for the cup) for a reason. Top ups got caught trying to lock it up by playing normal effort (which I would have done myself). Bears would be at unbackable odds right now.

Sadly, you were never in the running because you had so much salary tied up into one player. You'll never pay 200k a week for one player and put a competitive team around him in div2.

Hey mate, no argument. When I picked that guy up at 19 I basically have been training him as an NT player ever since. I'm happy to just be on my way to back to back Div 2 seasons. Which, when you think about it, probably makes my side a little competitive in Div 2, yeah? By definition, even if the comp is weak as you say, I've been able to compete enough to stay here, therefore, competitive?

Hey, noticed it was your first div 2 playoff win- same here! Come tomorrow one of us will have 2 wins, so that's something. Good luck, I guess whoever gets through will be the underdog, but gotta be in it to win it an all that

Best of luck to you mate. Your lads seem to have hit good game shape at the right time, so I think between that and home court you’ll get the job done, but I’m hoping to make a fight of it. The game shape just seems random. I thought I balanced the minutes of my starting 5 really well last week - they all drop in game shape and dmi. What the hell is with that? But yeah, I think which ever of us gets through will find it tough in the finals series. Still, the road to playoffs has been entertaining on our side of the draw at least.
