Amazing comeback after one of the worst halves of football we have played in recent memory.
That's a real boost leading into the bye, and then hopefully we can start getting a few players back.
Pendles, Jordy and Checkers hopefully straight back in in 2 weeks. Then, Mitchell, Elliot, Cox and McStay, leading into finals.
Just a side note, if the shoe was on the other foot for that non-50 decision we would all be furious, and rightly so. So let's not kid ourselves that we weren't very lucky there.
Let’s also not get sucked in by haters who were emotionally charged from barracking against our comeback and recognise that he should have been called played on. He clearly was intending to kick, realised he was cornered and took his steps back pretending he was just going back on his mark when he was way off it by that point.
Let’s also not forget they got two goals from umpiring howlers in the first half.
- there’s no way TJ pushed their ruck enough to warrant a free kick, the dude just went full on Hollywood acting and ran himself to the fence. Result = goal.
- Maynard’s tackle may be deemed dangerous though look at it closely and the head doesn’t hit the ground, but regardless the ball was out of bounds already from previous north player. Result = goal.
