      Very good report Cliff.

        Hi Chammond,

        Just to make the article accruate, could you please add D Woodcock & S McInerney to the best players for the Wet Toast.

              Good write up CH. Fair, even WC fans couldn't argue with most of it, gives credit where it's due. Perhaps we have seen a GF preview.
              He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)

                  Spot on with best players for both sides - I presume they are yours rather than lifted from a newspaper article written by a journo who didn't watch the game.

                  Might have added Glass to the Wiggles' best.

                    Must admit I found it impossible to really whittle down the best players on either side . . . part of the reason it was such a hard competitive slog was because there were so few weak spots on either side.

                    Could make for an interesting Grand Final??

                      "What I noticed most was how many times Swans players lost their feet trying to apply shepherds, which allowed the Eagle player to run free."

                      It's a symptom of over-intensity, leaping into the bump rather than running through the man. The swans seemed very nervous in other ways too.

                        The game just reminds me yet again of how awesome Judd is and how he is one of the best players to watch in the AFL!

                          Yeah, he's amazingly slippery . . . just like Robert Harvey was 6 or 7 years ago.

                          Barring severe injury, it's not hard to picture him winning 3 or 4 Brownlows.
