Swans and Eagles put on the game of the year last night, IMO.
Thought the Sydenees were stiff in that each of their forwards got an injury just as the Swans were getting right on top. -And they went into the match without a ruck division.
Not sure that the Eagles would have been better off allowing Sydney loose men in defence but in retrospect, anything's better than a loss. Dunno.
Sydney travelled, got significant injuries at crucial stages of the match, had a massive crowd bias against them (which translated into some very dubious calls going the way of the locals), endured a brilliant second half by Chris Judd- and won.
Sydney's last goal was the climax to the most exciting transition fo the year. A transition under intense pressure. Breathtaking.
