“They'll be laughing, that the two teams they could play are going to bash the living suitcase out of each other. Whichever team wins, West Coast is going to meet a very sore side next week,”
“Any player who tells you this is just another final or just another game we've got to get through, that's just rubbish, ... It's a whole lot more than that.”
