Quote:The win had genuine merit. The Aints threw everything at us after half-time and I suspect they fully expected win/over run us. But we held our nerve, absorbed their surge and went on to win. Yes, we jumped them but we protected that 3-4 goal jump for the game.
Absa bloody lutely.
Sure we jumper them, but that was because we startred with a patch of darn good footy and they simply weren't good enough to stem the flow.
Heck, if Murphy had slotted that easy goal (one which he'd normally nail 9.9 out of 10) the lead could hve been even more substantial at quarter time (and someone elsed missed a gimme too).
THe win would have given the lads immense self belief (especially given the manner of the Saints smashing us in recent years).
Think we'll take care of the Dawks very comfortably.
Finals, then 4 in a row!
