Great game (well second half at least) to watch even now. 7 goals down in the second quarter with Kouta taking us to the cleaners and it looked like we'd be on the end of another Princes Park hiding. But we kept persisting and persisting playing tough albeit not so skillful footy and never gave up. The Blues were the walking wounded by the end with hardly anyone on the bench and they ran out of gas.
It was the last 10 minutes of the 3rd quarter that started the comeback - Harrison got a free and goaled, Daffy then crumbed and snapped another, and thanks to a great tackle by Funcke which almost knocked him out Rogers bursts through to kick another. Margin went from around 5 goals down to 8 points in just 2 minutes. Timed our run perfectly with Harro putting us finally in front with just 3 mins to go. The Blues made one last push forward but the siren went with the ball 40m out from their goal and their finals hopes dashed
. Too bad "Unleash the Geisch" was wasted on 4 wins in the last 5 games tha year with no chance of finals ourselves.
Benny Gale handballing over Richo's head to score a point is still a classic blooper
. Duncan's kicking is not far behind either in the comedy stakes
lol although he played a terrific defensive game on one-year wonder Brad Pierce. He, Knighter, Benny Gale and Gas were great that day.
