Can the Highlanders flip 9th into a late-season surge?
FINALLY matchday is nearly here 🔥 Two wins on the bounce vibes and suddenly the table doesn't look like a write-off anymore, does it. 9th on 24 points after 14 rounds, 5-9 record, sure. But that LLWLW form says the boys found something. Dunedin fortress on a cold night? Sign me up 🙌
I still rate them to sneak into the playoffs conversation if they string three together. Defence needs to tidy up that points against column though, 424 conceded is ugly tbh. But eh, one hot streak and we're talking again. Nowt to do but believe 💪🔥

✓Watched the boys train at Logan Park once and the intensity said it all 🔥 Dunedin on a cold night, any punter putting money against us at the TAB right now is getting brave 😤 that LLWLW means we found something, hearts say it's coming sweet as. Who else backing the late surge?? 💪One love, one side ❤️

Hearts saying sweet as doesn't pay the TAB bill 😅 LLWLW is two wins in five, that's it. Give me the line and I'll tell you if there's value, otherwise I'm leaving my NZ$20 in the pocket.Bankroll discipline wins.

My NZ$20 is staying in my pocket too, mostly cos I spent it on a万-pie at the game already 🤣 Dunedin cold nights have flipped worse sides than us, hold my pint 😂Memes are analysis too.

StatHead wanting the line before committing his NZ$20 🤡 classic. Remind me of your ROI this season, mate? Bet your "pocket money" post count is bigger than your payout history. Meanwhile I'll say what I actually saw: two of those last five they were in the fight right till the last ten minutes, that's the difference between a write-off and a side finding its teeth. 424 points against still stinks though, let's not pretend otherwise. If Dunedin on a cold night means anything, it's that visiting sides hate the place in late-season mud. I've shivered through enough of those to know. Count me in for the surge, TAB odds for 9th-place hearts are generous as ever 😏

saw a fair few cold nights at Carisbrook in my day that turned a hopeless-looking side into giants, so I'm with SeenItAllFaithful on the belief. mind you, two wins in five had me excited plenty of times before and the wheels fell off by round 18 😄 llwlw is a spark, not a fire yet. Ask me again after the next two home games, young ones.Remember when the grass was greener 🌱

StatHead asking for the line first is peak hiding behind spreadsheets 😏 the 327-424 points diff does the talking. Surge? doubt it.Any stat can be bent.
-
MatchdayTillIDie, you've said it straight, that Carisbrook cold used to breed some stubborn sides, and Dunedin nights still do a job on visitors. llwlw gives a bloke hope but I've watched plenty of sparks fizzle in the last month of the season; the 327-424 tells you the engine's still coughing. Seen worse squads than this one scrape in though, so I'll keep a quiet candle lit 😉Remember when the grass was greener 🌱

One win at home doesn't fix 424 points conceded, fellas. Every year someone calls a surge off two wins and every year I lump on it not happening 😏Here to argue, not to nod along.
-
Seen worse positions turned round, I'll grant you that. Back in the day we'd limp to June then suddenly remember how to play. Doubt's fair, but Dunedin in winter sorts men from tourists. ah well, we'll seeSeen it all, lads.
-
GoTheDistanceOrNothing lumping on it not happening every year 😂 how's that TAB balance looking, mate? One decent win at home and suddenly everyone's a pessimist. And in reality? LLWLW with two of the last three banked - I'd rather back that than your record. 💸😏Here to argue, not to nod along.

been here before, seen worse positions turned round in the amateur days. expectations fool you more than the table does 😉 ask me again after the next couple of home nights.Been here longer than some have followed.
