Re: Can we refuse a finals spot?

Of course we wont turn it down for the reasons mentioned above.....but from a personal viewpoint I'm not one bit enthused by the fact that we're likely to make up the numbers in a final series by default.
Yep, the assistance Essendon had from their supplement program might have made a difference and we perhaps should be there in that eighth spot by rights but it just doesn't feel like an achievement to me.
Just a personal feeling in the light of a bad result perhaps.
I agree. Making up the numbers isn't the same as earning a place. a win tonight would have made it feel different.
