Amazing game, in terms of being weird rather than inspiring. Blight summed it up, West Coast were the better side but Sydney probably should have won. Think about what a strange comment that is. I still think West Coast’s forward line is just as hopeless as their midfield is brilliant. The goals by their big forwards were only through gift-wrapped platinum delivery, usually by Kerr who was my BOG. I reckon his disposal is as good as I’ve seen by anyone, ever.
For all the West Coast dominance in the first half, Sydney were still in touch and with some straighter kicking could easily have been 3 or 4 goals closer. Unbelievable. Considering how good their midfield and backline is, they just don’t kick many goals. Obviously, to make a dynasty, which they really should with that midfield, they need to find a key forward and a small forward. If they persevere with Lynch they’ll continue in the same vein as now, he’s just not much good. Hansen is serviceable but that’s all.
