Everyone is waiting to get past this game - me included.
We win, I travel down with a large group of others from the Tron. We lose, I go away for ANZAC with the family.
I imagine many fans are in a similar position.

What if the Nix lose, but CCM lose or draw against Adelaide?
That would mean Nix go into the final MAC game, still as potential Premier Plate winners.
Only if the Nix (stay on 49 pts & 14 wins) lose to Newcastle and Mariners beat Adelaide (so CCM going to 52 pts & 16 wins), will the final round basically be a damp squid null & void.
Better than even odds, that something will still be riding on the MAC game. Nix only need to draw at Newcastle to ensure that is the case. That takes them to 50 pts, and even if CCM beat Adelaide (go to 52 pts) - the Plate is still on the line in the final round. Could the Jets beat the Mariners at Newcastle in the last game? For sure, especially with CCM having such a heavy schedule these last few weeks
Edit - can see Chief setting up with his usual back 3/5 on the road in the Castle. Looking firstly to avoid a loss, but for sure wanting the win. Zawada off the bench late, maybe a little trump card.
