Parnell a local or is it true he flies in from Darwin each week?

Shouldn’t have stuffed around in Sydney this morning. By the time I got to the lavy exit the siren had gone! Well done to the favourites. Where did they get Dayman from? Can’t see Geoff posting much in the coming days commentators thought he stuffed his wrist in the last…

Ed Dayman played his junior footy in Wang. Played 3rds for Rovers and a couple of injury riddled years under Crezza (had some shoulder issues if I remember right)
Moved down Geelong way and has spent the last few seasons playing for Ocean Grove.

Has already committed to returning to Ocean Grove in 2025.

33 touches but I would like to add 3 out on the full and not many hit targets . Plenty of kick and hope . Not doubting he's a good player but I honestly think if they did lose that game his turnovers in last qtr especially could have cost them the game . They played a lot better when they didn't give the ball to him when he calls from 1 metre away and demands it . If you watch game closely and I'm sure you'll watch reply a few times he gave players a spray when they didn't give to him .

A number of players on both sides had their fair share of turnovers, I thought Murray won a couple of important disputed balls during the day. Thought Filo was very good, brilliant big game player. Cattapan was excellent as was Dayman. Agree with the coverages assessment of Christie at FF, he gave rovers a different look and was important. Stopping W. Wheeler was super important, 16 touches to the half and very few after that.

100% sheer guts and determination got the Rovers over the line

First time watching an O&M game all year, well done to the Rovers on breaking the drought.
Great coverage on the stream, much better camera work and commentary than any other league.
Parnell was fantastic and got them over the line, I thought he was BOG. Cattapan very good too.
For the Pidgeons, Pendergast was solid down back, he looks a player and was probably their best for me. Not many of their big names stepped up... Gibbons went missing when the pressure was on, Williams had a dirty day in front of the sticks and Wheeler was well held in the 2nd half.

The two Corowa boys played well throughout the year and certainly on the day too. If they go back to Corowa I’d imagine it would be with the best wishes of all involved at Rovers.

Ed and Parnell, wherever they end up next year I’m sure it would also be with the best wishes of all involved. They killed it yesterday!

Agree, Gibbons got under the skin of rovers players in the first half, he & Wheeler sucked a few in.
As you’ve said, both had little impact when it mattered late in the game.

The crowd was piss poor. Stand was only half full, heaps of space on the hill and no lines for beer or dunnies. The official number is a complete lie!

crowd wasn't at full strength cause no one from albury wodonga would be interested, how many supporters do you think rocked up to see albury twos play, alot of people on the fence would have not bothered expecting a semi final redo. special mention to yarra midfielders spending more time wacking players behind play then flopping when a strong breeze came thru looked pathetic.

can't see any of them leaving

Albury struggles to attract people to go watch the ones

 

[TheGreatBambino]

With the quality of the live stream on YouTube, it might get harder and harder to attract the neutrals to finals now.

Also who wants to go to drink mid strength piss!
The Yarra faithful was significantly reduced on a normal year, think we underestimated the negative toll the not sacking of the coach earlier had on the place....

Yep, Make it pay per view. I was guilty of falling for the convenience of it for the Tallangatta granny, $10 to access the stream wouldn't be outrageous. If the crowd numbers keep falling things are going to get dire sooner rather than later!

I felt that tackle from Williams on Parnell in the last qtr from all the way down here in Melbourne

 

[barfly]

Just my two bobs worth on the game
Crowd was disappointing in numbers
weather and surface excellent
First quarter umpires were too hot on the whistle.
Yarras kicking at goal was terrible( and cost them dearly )as was Rovers field kicking
Thought Cattapan was brilliant winning plenty of footy and grunt
Murray and Filo racked them up but kicking let them down however the yardage they gained was crucial
Parnell and the key forward no 8 ? important
When Rovers ran and played on thats what won them the game but when they choked up in the last 20 minutes and tried to play slow possession football this allowed Yarra to launch an assault and near pinch it
Number 9 for Yarra along with Gibbons busted their arse and no 63 is gunna be a star
Game lacked atmosphere for the first 3/4 and only livened up in the last

Half time game was super and a great dose of reality for us all
Will be back again.

I thought that kick was longer than 15m. He tried cleaning up a few throughout the game Williams.
