Agree with your other posts and this one to an extent but think the odds are a bit wrong but Kilcoo would still be favourites for sure.
Kilcoo meet teams that sit back and almost play damage limitation. They got no test at all yesterday. The Barrs will have a go and push up on them at the very least. We saw that against Haven and we saw it yesterday in the first half. It can be costly sometimes but they’re there to have a proper go at winning rather than keeping the score down. Has to be respected and I think they’ll frighten Kilcoo but Kilcoo are a serious side.
In some aspects an AI semi is bonus territory for all sides. Not many sit down in January and aim for an AI club title.
Maybe the odds are slightly off but I wouldn’t go near it, favourable odds are only good if the outsiders are going to win, and I’d be fairly sure they won’t.
Would love to see them do it but can’t see it, Barrs have good footballers and plenty of spirit but they’re a bit green tactically. I look at how they struggled to get over the line against an inferior Clon teams defensive system and you can be sure Kilcoo are far far superior in this regard.
No doubt they’ll give them plenty of it but it’ll be a step too far barring a miracle.
Your point about bonus territory is what I was getting at…it’s bonus territory for 99% of teams as very very few teams are targeting an AI at the start of the season.
