Round 14 gave us Kempsey 155.9, JackinGoff 87.45 — a 68.45-point exclamation mark on the minor premiership, both clubs finishing 12-2 with Kempsey's obscene 2,175 total points settling top seed by several postcodes. Two regular-season meetings, two Kempsey wins by a combined 135. If you're JackinGoff, you're telling yourself finals football is a different sport. You'd better be right.
The last ticket went to Post Chubb Depression, who beat Deep Balls to lock sixth at 7-7 while Surtainly won and missed anyway — the cost of that week 12 fifty-nine, priced in full. Push Tush closed with a 169.5 flourish, and the spoon was formally presented to Deep Balls and Grimace at 3-11, roster "actually pretty good on paper".
