First given we were 30 points up at the twenty minute mark of the third quarter yesterday and lost by 7 North had a turnaround of 37 points plus the week before they did it against Sturt by some 50 points.

Over the past 2 games North have had combined comebacks of almost 15 goals!

Whilst I believe we took our foot off the pedal and North took advantage of that and i'm very disappointed in that i think we lost the game - you have to now say that no matter how in front of the Roosters any team gets the Roosters now have such self believe you cant ever write them off!

So Congratulations to the Roosters - a top effort and your supporters be very confident - now up to us to do the right thing this weekend so we can get another crack at North or Centrals in the Prelim.

Classic case of "Keep your mouth shut until the final siren" yesterday.

Was with a mate of mine who's a North fan. Some Eagles fans were behind us and gave him crap after he appealed for a holding the ball. Midway thru the 3rd qtr. Eagles were 5 goals up at that stage. They assumed that I was a rooster fan also and comments hurled to us included:
"Not even the umps can win this for ya"
"Cant even buy a finals win"
"Finals chokers"
"One goal in 80 minutes of football hahahaha"

From then on the Eags scored just 1 goal and that was when the match was effectively over. And boy did my mate give them heaps as they walked off.

Only thing that would of topped that is if it was Norwood who made the comback

Great effort by the Roosters especially to do it 2 weeks in a row.
