Wow, this game was created a lot of discussion
Quite a good game to watch today, with some decent weather helping for a change. Honours fairly even in the 1st term before the blues made most of the breeze in the 2nd, jumping out to a 5 goal lead. Their transition from defence to attack was very good at times. A few late goals before half time kept South in the contest. The 3rd term belonged to the visitors, as we started to get on top in the middle and began to convert our chances in-front of goals after some wayward kicking early. Ditto in the 4th, the lead out to 4 goals at one point before Sturt made a late charge.
Liked the games of Liddle and Murphy in the middle, while Redigolo and the unsung Giddings were good in defence. Wundke could have kicked 8 had his kicking boot been on. Hourigan showed he will be a player. As is the case when you win, most guys did their bit.
Jeansch probably Sturt's best. Stephens looks a good type, and Calabrese got a lot of it but mucked around with it at times.
Pleasing to see South "take the game on" and play some positive footy, as opposed to some of the zig-zag crap we've dished up most of this season.
Reasonable crowd, and there seemed to be heaps of kids running around which was good.
So that ends a (another) wasted year for my club. Tellingly 5 of 6 wins came against either Sturt or the Bays, which suggests we've got a long way to go to be a finals contender next season.
