It's good to win a game when you've been outplayed. I thought we closed out the game well. It was a dour affair. A few of our guys who have played reasonably well of late had poor games, particularly Dean and Harry. We let them get far too much of those contested balls in the middle of the ground and kick to their big leading targets. We've lost a lot of these close ones this year, so again, it was good to get away with the win.
Contested ball in the middle; refer the absence of Kieran Jack.Comment

Aliir really turned his game around in the final quarter. He was challenged today and could so easily have gone into his shell. Instead he was ultimately very influential.
Not the only youngster to belie his inexperience either. Loving this team. The perfect combination of skill, class and grit.It's very hard to live in a studio apartment in San Jose with a man who's learning to play violin. That's what she told the police when she handed them the empty revolver.

Remembering also that we will be holding back tactically on our exits and entries ....... Can't show too much prior to semis
Ugly but effective game plan and best of all our backline held strong against talls"be tough, only when it gets tough"

Naismith was huge today, he definitely takes the cake over Sinclair and I hope the match comittee think so too. Great to see Tippett out there playing well.
Buddy looked like an expensive decoy today, but fair enough after his hit to the ribs. Aliir possibly could come out for Teddy, he was found out today and looked too vulnerable and I wouldn't mind some experience back there.
Umpires were a @@@@ing disgrace. But should we be suprised? Over it.Comment

"Aliir possibly could come out for Teddy, he was found out today and looked too vulnerable and I wouldn't mind some experience back there"
So we should drop Mills as well based on this theory?
Ted has been a great servant but I don't see him as part of our team during the finals
AA was not up to his recent form in the first half but did some great stuff in the second half, he's a keeper and dropping him now would be counterproductive to both his and the teams development.Comment

I beg to differ. I don't think Aliir was found out at all today. He had some challenges early and that might have caused him to lose confidence and stop taking the game on. Yet he didn't. He stood up big time in the last quarter, not withstanding that kick across the defensive 50m that was intercepted by Harvey.Comment
