Congratulations Lads (that one is for S Kearney). A Top 4 finish was well and truly above any of my expectations for this team. Full credit to everyone involved.

Anything from here is a bonus for 2017.

Bring on the Finals... Go Parra

Maybe your best ever post :p

Deadset this is a huge achievement for this side even at full strength...given our outs at times this year, BA is IMO a shoo-in for coach of the year.

We play so much better when we are the underdogs... as soon as we are favourites we just expect to things happen and we fumble and bumble through 80 mins.

Next week no one is expecting us to win, we will be switched on for every play and have nothing to lose. I honestly think we will give them a shake.

The 2006 1 vs 8 game comes to mind.

I maintain we won that game....Delaney scored 100%

Thought it was Morro Baz but yes he scored that, reckon we could of sprung off that win and give the comp a good shake.

We owe these cheating merkins in finals.

Ha ha , BA just gives the team a talk, finishes and he is the first to the esky to get a beer and hand them out!!

No wonder the players love him!!

Didn't see it on Fox but I can imagine what he said

"Look, that was pretty shit boys. But f**k it, we won, we're in the top 4. I'm gonna smash you merkins during the week but for now, have a f**king beer..."

We've always been great underdogs and poor favourites since the start of the Brian Smith era.

I don't think we took Souths easy, just reckon there was a lot of nerves among the boys which lead to a few poor decisions.

If you look at our side we are pretty inexperienced with finals matches - probably only got 5 players with final experience.

You're right actually it was Morro. Horse made that big bust that could have got us over the line
