not the best of times for injuries is it - so much riding on this one

And it's hard to believe, given the past few days but the Preliminary this weekend looks like being a wet day. With showers forecast and a maximum temperature of 20.
Really looking forward to Sunday's match.

I see the SANFL had their prelim last night, getting in before the AFL GF. Once again the SANFL show the WAFC how to do it, the prelim winner gets a full 7 day break.
Could have easily played the prelim today as the middle game between the colts and ressies, would have had fine weather, get in before the AFL and keep that 7 day break to our GF.

The SANFL have always done it better. Tended to look after their competition, which can't be said for another organisation I could name!

Weird game, expected Claremont to really push us
Today with the outs we had, totally no show from
Them until the last 1/4 , pushed it kicking 4 and we bottled
It up for 10 minutes without doing much at all in the last to hang on.

Bloody ordinary prelim 6 goals to 4 in clear conditions.

We will be pushing shit up hill to best Subi at Optus
Going by that.

gutsy to take the win I'll say that 
wouldn't be too many finals where sides have had 4 goal-less quarters in a match 
Claremont had 3 of those
Tigers will be back in 2022 no doubt

Well done Souths, with all the injuries your squad had, it makes it hard to patch positions, but you blokes patched it up and won.

Yep, and no doubt Subi, South and WP will be back as strong as ever as well. Can't wait.

Exactly Winger, gutsy win against the odds.  All the media experts gave us no hope with all our injuries.
Our kids gave it their all and got the result.  Claremont had an unchanged side and no injuries.  Great effort.
