    I prefer the VFL anyway.

      Terrific second half. How critical were Smith and Boyd (both of them)? Impressed with Lewis Young's game as well.
      I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

        Clay was good in the last quarter.

          What a cracking win. Moyds career goes on another week.
          The curse is dead.

            That was too close. So happy for Tom Boyd.

              His intensity set a standard.
              That was a win that I thought was highly improbable at half time.

                Would love to see Will Hayes drafted (but not by us). He's too good for this level, would be a very good Dalhaus type somewhere.

                  Mathew Boyd into the centre square for a couple of crucial clearances late in the game.

                    Wasn't it great to hear TBoyd say "It's just great to be playing footy again". Music to my ears. And well done coach Grace putting MBoyd in centre in last qtr with 3 vital centre clearances. Wonderful beating bombers at any level. DeSteiger did ok for an amateur ruck. Fletch did a few crucial things in last qtr. woof woof. And Clay was a bull like he was in prelim last yr.

                    Our day will come
                    And we'll have everything.
                    We'll share the joy
                    Just like '54 again.

                      Great win! What a nervy end that was but we got the win and advance.

                        Took some good marks around the ground. I wonder if he is worth a rookie spot? I know nothing about him.

                            Amazing how much quicker Clay looks at this level. Shows the gulf in standard.

                              So Clay and Toyd just need to play finals every week for the rest of their careers.
