Was an entertaining game alright, tough hard relentless footy. I enjoyed it at least.

racingnovice: Sydney's style of play is to get players back behind the ball so that when the opposition turn it over their is a mass exodus forward. Been playing like that for years under Roos. Considering the circumstances of the game (Subi, Finals etc) they had no choice, otherwise the way the Eagles came out of the blocks they would have been slaughtered. Did ya back Sydney to win by any chance? I did after tipping them on here with points - silly boy!!

Now for a whinge: I hate to do this but what is it with umpires and their decisions in the West? Last night, in the first quarter, tough hard finals football 'n all and a free kick was paid to cousins 'cos someone touched his hair - hello??? Couple other dubious free kicks paid that resulted in goals. This is not on, i get bit cranky when umpires clearly get it wrong and the outcome of the game is effected. Another time Glass chopped Hall's arms in a marking contest, no free and Wirrapunda clearly legged Goodes, albeit accidently, with the Umpi in perfect position. If you're gonna be there Umpi's please be consistent.

Finally, i must commend young Glass on his performance on Barry Hall. He scruffed and scragged him out of the game. Not good enough Barry. Also Kirk on Stenglein???????????? Or Stenglein on Kirk, either way made no sense to me. Gonna be tough for Sydney now, with a prelim to be held in Perth, Eagles almost a cert for GF.

Anyways enough blabber from me, look forward to Crows beating Saints. Have fun all and be good.
