Against another free flowing side, they have show they can be winners. But I am not sure they will handle the close checking brand some teams manage in finals.
They also depend on the getting the ball out of the middle. They have a good ruck brigade and are used to getting 1st use of the ball. Not sure how that would fare against a Nic Nat or Ryder type, or a Sandilands.
Agree Crash. We were talking at the game as to how we strangled them for much of the game. It was only after we tired in the 4th that they got the better of us and got their run and spread going again. It was a great experience for us because we showed how we could beat them - all we need is a bit more development and fitness. This will be a way of beating a number of other teams too.

For that matter, Fisher should have some sort of right foot. He could well learn by looking at Simmo, whose right foot is under-utilized, but he often manages to tie his opponents in knots while finally getting on his left.
Crippa was showboating. He should have learned from the case of the Costa Concordia! I don't think he'll be repeating that mistake - he must have felt very foolish afterwards.

I for one loved Fisher's game.
Made that obvious howler, but his 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th efforts are amazing. He got 2 smothers at crucial points he had no right to get, just shear desperation.
I think BB, if he hasn't already done so, needs to contact the umpires and ask for clarification of the holding the ball rule. It needs to be brought to someone's attention that we are being treated differently to other teams in this regard.

I'll cut Fisher some slack because he's a first year, but in reality he had nowhere near enough footy for people to be patting him on his back.

I think in a game where we were really only in it due to fighting qualities and effort, what Fisher did was crucial. That's the sort of effort you expect from a seasoned player leading by example. Our team isn't blessed with an excess of skill right now, although we are showing signs of development in that area. I'll take Fishers game over a lot of other guys' in the team yesterday.

Maybe got a bit ahead of himself there but I like that. Signs of real confidence coming back.
Last I looked Ankle tap is supposed to be a free kick.

Fisher will be a beauty for sure - great pickup.

Great to hear BB in his post match media conference say that ACOS will be get plenty of games this year... begs the question, how many games is he allowed to play as a rookie? Will someone need to be delisted?
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

Dont know the exact rules but belongs on senior list for two years even if helping out Northern Blues.
