At the end of the day....the best team on the day.... got the four points....as they take it one week at a time....and are not afraid to enter into a dour struggle....and match it against their more fancied opponents.....even though the scoreboard was not a true indication of the game!

That'd just about do this thread

Until the "Gladiators" hand-bike becomes available in AFL matches this is tautology.
