K Rock Football | Stuck between not quite having qualified for finals and still holding onto hopes of claiming the double chance, co-coach Ron Watt says St Joseph’s can only worry about what’s immediately in front of them.

After bringing forward their Round 20 meeting with Bell Park to late June when both teams had the bye, the fifth-placed Joeys only have two home-and-away matches remaining.

They face archrival and grand final conqueror St Mary’s for the second time this season on Saturday before a trip to Colac the following week.

“We would like to think we can finish in the top three if things went our way, but the chances of that are minimal,” Watt, who has confirmed he’ll continue into the role in 2027, said.

“We’ve just set ourselves to try and have a finals opportunity, and we’ve spoken about that briefly.

“But to be honest, we don’t spend a lot of time on that.

“There are many other things to talk about during the week, and you try not to get so far ahead that you lose sight of what’s happening this week.”

The Saints had the better of Joeys in a night clash in Round 5 by 65 points.
