If anyone tries to say that’s how we’ve looked to play the last 16 weeks, tell ‘em they’re dreaming!

Great games from two players who cop a fair bit of criticism here.
Ryan Byrnes, probably the best game I have seen him play.
Then Howard, his save in the third quarter could be argued as the catalyst for our comeback.


Think of me long enough to make a memory.

A wonderful win. EVERYONE lifted. Everyone contributed. The forward line functioned beautifully after half time. Great to see Mattaes rise to the occasion. Liam Henry is a real game-breaker. Nasiah is so cool under pressure. Wilson and Schoenmaker showed poise. I thought Clark and Byrnes had strong moments too.

Our team leaders , Steele and Wilkie, were fantastic.

Very proud of them all.

Interesting to note that the 2 top teams got beaten this weekend and in similar circumstances.
Both got away to a good starts and had good leads but were run over in the end.

The first half was good too, except for the last 5 minutes of the second, which were a disaster.

There were a few things I didn’t like about the first half

Windhager playing at HB

Logan McDonald looked like Wayne Carey in the first q

Warner and Henry running around on their own

A win. :lol: We have been known to beat the eventual premiers during a season (not sure if the swans will be premiers but they are looking good).
Bump
