Major Decision Time...(the thread of much jinx)

Feverites, it appears that I have a huge dilemma ahead of me. 

Now before anyone shoots me down for getting ahead of myself I would like to point out that this is actually a real concern.

Due to work commitments, impending arrival of twins, being geographically disadvantaged and lastly not having an overdraft facility on my brownie points account, I need to plan out which fixtures in the coming weeks are most important to me to be present at in the run in to the Finals.

Do I try to predict when, if at all, we may be handed the Premiers Plate and make a trip down for that? 1st Trophy in Clubs History etc etc?

Do I stick with my original plan of coming down for home finals only? 

Do I allocate all of my brownie points to be used for an away final? If yes then do I wait to see if we reach the Grand Final meaning I miss all home games between now and then?

Dumb stoopid Phoenix. Wouldnt have had this problem in previous years.

Home Finals PLUS one of the next two (Just so you can say you were here when we were top)

Edit: In case we drop off this pedestal

Coops, Be there for the final round against the Bling. Potentially, first piece of silver ware - if that is on the table don't miss that.

From there, if we then have a GF - you never know, you might be able to play the late "It's the Grand Final - I have to go" card.

That'd be my call.


Incredible stamina. No shame. Yellow Fever.


Phoenix fans. We have to win them over one fan at a time.

A major  major major anti jinx needed here.

We are going to get humped so bad in the remaining games we will be lucky to make the top six.

If we made the grand final in Aussie, I couldn't afford it with much much saddness. My kids come first in my world and around then will be first term payments due along with the usual bills. Even thinking of a second hand car has gone out the window at the mo. So C mate, go with what you can afford. I know how you feel Coops, it's  friggen frustrating but it is the life we have chosen. Total respect for you and your twinns. The life of the single travellor are now consigned to the memories.

But isn't the anti-jinx voided if it is stated as deliberately making the anti-jinx? I thought thats how the gods work.

Not sure anti-jinx conventions apply to such a broad spread of non presumptious questions.

Don't plan for the premiers plate, it'l come down to one of 2 or even 3 teams being able to win it, on the final round most likely, and when it happens I guarantee you that the plate wont be on this side of the tasman (until its won).


FFA have a habit of not making it available on the day.

Are you sure? I heard it wasn't here and they ended up getting a big silver platter from the Intercontinental Hotel as a substitute when the team got back there after the game.

hmm I think you are correct.  I'm so deliriously happy that I remembered that moment incorrectly.

Brownie Points are something that only exist in principle. Essentially they are a myth because, if they ever exist at all, they extinguish themselves within milliseconds. Men are known to go to extraordinary lengths to collect these mythical points in the forlorn hope they will give them currency to go and do something they actually enjoy doing, usually on their own or with friends. Women are known to encourage men to undertake tasks to earn these 'brownie points' in full knowledge that they will fail to recognise them when the male tries to use them as currency. In the world order they rank as the number one myth perpetrated by women, closely followed by the one about childbirth actually being painful.

Ha. What a joke. I just checked my balance which is at 1610 brownie points. The cheapest thing you can get (a CD of 100 favourite nursery rhymes) is 1790 points. Can't even get that. What a load of bollocks.

I know i am a dumbass but  what have we got left?

 

On the draw I can find:

 

29/3 Sydney at home

 

5/4 MV at home

 

12/4 MC away

 

17/4 CCM home

 

We have played though 22 and i thought there were 27 rounds.  i have also read somewhere on here that we also have two more v Sydney.  So when is the other one?

Since I like making up paranoid conspiracy theories... what if it's all a fix, and the FFA are deliberately letting us win the Plate and/or the Toilet Seat to harness resentment against us and kick us out of the league?!?

How do the finals pan out?

Nope. 1 & 2 get the first week off, then host the winners of the 3 v 6 and 4 v 5 games in the second week. Winners of those games go through to the final.

Eliminated finalists don't go away empty-handed. Each player will get a "finals series" fridge magnet and the coach gets steak knives.
