Can't say I know Mick well, I know his right hand man well and I felt for him there and then. He's a ripper of a bloke, rough watching him in that much agony. I've also got to know Allmond a bit, he too is a bloke you don't enjoy seeing with that blank on his face, hell of a nice fella.
On the other hand the images of Boyd in tears I could have watched for hours. Wundke, Ainger and Boyd have all chased that illusive dollar.....I mean premiership and they are not there just yet.

Their pressure on the ball carrier was immense and really constricted our run.
However, if the Blues bring that intensity and work rate throughout the season, it's the brand of footy that can bring the ultimate success.

Guessing that was the SANFL photographer? Can't recall her name.

Eagles first qtr was the killer. We couldn't hit the scoreboard when we had the play, and Sturt kicked goals when they went forward and took the opportunities in the first half. Had we been 4.1 instead of 1.4 at qtr time, I think we go on and win it. We didn't, and gave Sturt a sniff and they took control of the game..
Wundks was good. We didn't get the ball in to him quick enough to allow him constant 1 on 1's. But when we did he generally won them. Petrenko was good but faded out. Boyd and O'Brien were accumulating without being damaging. Allmond was serviceable. Just had too many players down on the day, for the second year running..
Interesting that all 3 sides that had only played 1 game in 3 weeks lost this weekend.. GWS and Geelong, and the Eagles. The conversation of the best way to prepare for finals continues with no clear answer..
Eagles have some decisions to make. 3 retired already with another 2 unlikely to go on.. Few depth players also looking at moving on. Important off season coming up

For mine, Martins mark every day of the week.
On the "trip/below the knees" paid to Sturt in the last 1/4, that was embarrassing, almost as embarrassing as the holding the ball the same umpire missed just moments earlier.
Umpires were really good until the last quarter when the heat was on, much like the Eagles.

Guess he didn't get what he was after, two Grand Finals for Zero Premierships!

Had 2 better opportunities than he would have had if he stayed at South..

Still happy he didn't win any though.
