Why would u and ur commentary team be gutted that lynch didnt play smartass?
1 of their best players out gave u a chance of winning. and so did the umpires...they were shocking all day and i dont go to haileybury, but there were atleast 3-4 shocking umpiring decisions that resulted in either caulfield getting a goal or stopped haileybury scoring 1. for example, Lillie took a good contested pack mark cleanly, wasnt paid for some unknown reason then the ball got turned over because he was surrounded by 3 the caulfield players he outmarked and they kicked a goal. plugger took a mark in the first quarter for haileybury and was penalised for push in the back when he clearly didnt. and there was 1 where 3 caulfield players were tackled in a row when none of them disposed correctly and nothing was paid, then the ball was turned over and went down to caulfields forward line and kicked a goal. that was 3 example but i know there were more.
besides the disgraceful umpiring, was a good match to watch, Scully was an absolute freak for haileybury, by far their best, sandilands was good for caulfield probably their best too. yamen despite being a hog and wasting 2-3 goal chances by trying to everything himself and kicking out on the full or a behind, was dangerous down forward, good player but highly overrated
