Preliminary Final Live Scores

[shanghaied]

Knowing my teams recent finals record I wouldn't say it was just the Bays being nervous.

However, there are echoes of yesterday. Good hard game with one team fairly dominant but not kicking straight. The other doing enough to stay in touch.

If i see another Glenelg player throw their head back when tackled around the waiste im going to be sick.

Free kick count might look at imbalance, but $turt are trying to play a more in your face brand today.

Three things (as a neutral) I've seen from the first half:
o the breeze has had no effect on the game, scoring at either end quite possible/normal
o the softer frees from last week, particularly instant HTBs, have been left alone
o Jade Sheedy has been massively impressive in the first half, leading from the front (while the Bays captain is out injured)

and i saw a sturt player do the same thing, and i saw a sturt player decide to give a glenelg player a rib-tickler

but thats footy, everyone does it

Looks like it could be a team rule.....that and duck your head when tackled front on.....umpires need to start doing them for it
