Played like a bloke desperate to be there next week, huh?
So wish he scrambled that goal near the end but the ball just didn't sit. Would have been a deserved reward.
"The inches we need are everywhere around us. They're in every break in the game. Every minute, every second. On this team we fight for that inch. On this team we tear ourselves and everyone around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch. Because we know when we add up all those inches that's gonna make the f***in' difference between winning and losing! Between living and dying!'
Steady Eddy was fantastic tonight. I loved his attack on the football and he made good decisions with the ball when he won it. He's a definite for next week.

Dempster was quietish, Mini was very quiet, Lenny was a bit down too, Picken did a good job on Goddard...credit to their opponents, but can't stop all of us!
In many ways our least skilled players hold the match in their hands. Robert Eddy fumbled the ball many times, but he also showed the level of courage and desperation that wins matches. It can only inspire more talented team mates. Andrew McQualter was poor. For a small player he is surprisingly slow. But he does centre a number of attacks. He should take the first option more. Sean Dempster earned his spot and only made a couple of blues.
No changes next week (sorry Bakes). Eddy went hard. Good solid game. I always appreciate the players who hold those over head marks. Does i t every week.
I thought Eddy played a great game and will definately hold his place.
Bakes will miss. They would have played him tonight if they were going to. Won't take the chance in a GF.
No one else beating the door down to get in, and there'd be a few others in line before Eddy. He had a good game against Cats too.
Rex declared him a definate to keep his spot late in the game on MMM. Certainly did his job.

I think Eddy will retain his spot...he was ferocious at the contest. The one who concerns me is Mc Qualter...I would much rather have Jack Steven or Geary in the side than him. Mini is indecisive, makes unforced errors and is inaccurate in front of goal. Tonight, he was conspicuous by his absence.

Tough to replace though, as neither of those guys have finals experience, plus Mini has to atone for last year.

spot on.
At this stage, no changes unless forced by injury.

I thought Dempster did a good job........... Giansiracussa hardly had a look at the football.......... Dempster carried on from the good job he did on Steve Johnson.....2 good scalps to Smiley Dempster in his last two matches.

He did better than a good job. He is going to play in his 4th GF and for someone with very limited ability it is an unbelievable effort.
