Life is good with footy results on the weekend.
SANFL season 2020 was the purest and most important to be contested for a very, very, long time.
No AFL reserves influence, players not being paid, just playing on passion and heart.
Eagles gave a 3 goal head start to the Adelaide oval, finals, specialists, with a massive crowd advantage and a week off to rest.
Turns out the Eagles turned on the most potent, high scoring quarter of footy in any game this season, let alone a final, let alone a grand final.
So many good players for the Eagles. Some Highlights……….
Foote – simply brilliant, and deadly accurate. 4 goals from a midfielder in a GF.
Toumpas – highest disposal game and presented well with a big improvement on 2 weeks ago.
Angus – best finals game saved for the big stage – 2 goals in 2 minutes, checkside beauty right in front of us.
Redds, playing under duress, set up so many clearances with his centre square taps, especially in 2nd quarter.
Luke Thompson – cool and calm, repelled many attacks
McNeil – silky smooth pace and nice goal during the avalanche.
Rowe – despite a tight defender still snagged 2.
Lowson telling his opponent to look at the scoreboard after slotting a tight angle goal
Some lowlights
Cocky cocks fans – check out @shitadelaide for a quality North fan now going viral. Not social media viral either. Queens head efforts from north fans who left early.
North number 9 – serial sniper seemed to concuss himself with an attempt at hurting an opponent with his head.
Number 1 theme for north continuing in a bad, bad way.
1 (One) Goal Grand Final – 89
1 – guernsey number of Wigg (clearly best for north…..but)
1 – total of Jack Oatey medal votes, for the whole North Adelaide team, earned by Harrison, (Eagles Team collectively awarded 47 votes from the 8 judges)
“Double 1” numbered player – Allmond, diving and getting an absolute bath – trademark pathetic GF effort from him
1 – number of clubs Schwarz played for before becoming a quitter and refusing to play reserves, and having Daddy CEO pressure the coach to play league for the Eagles. (actually he would have fitted right in to your reserves losing team)
1 gutless elbow drop from North number four early on, missing its mark
And I guess there was plenty of Karma for the cheating and gloating in 2018.
Eagles reserves defeating North
Eagles League team conceding a 3 goal headstart, then it must have then felt like the Eagles had 22 players on the field in that devastating, match winning, premiership deciding, second quarter of Gold, green and Blue.
There is a good youtube highlights package of this. Sound was not working today with North’s QC’s apparently injuncting any sound of the bawling of the north fans during the onslaught.
Go You Mighty Eagles – 2020 Reserve and League Champions.
Chimney tomorrow, last ever, saving the best colours till last!!!!!!!!
