I need to see a heart specialist after that, thought we were going to choke.

And of all the people to take two match-saving marks deep in defence ........ one of my whipping boys Jack Martin. He''ll get 2-weeks for belting Blakey though.

So many uncharacteristic actions tonight, a lot of the things we have done over the past couple of months seem to go out the door tonight.

McKay was really horrible, just so out of sorts, that concussion may be a blessing in disguise anyway.

Can't serve up that sort of crap next week against the Dees, they will walk all over us if we do. They are ripe for the picking if we want it bad enough.

Really hope that tonight's game style (or lack of it) was just a one-off blip due to finals nerves after not being there for 10-years and we return to that confident style that got us there.

Well done Blues, we did something Essendon have been trying to do for the last 100 years!! Win a final!! We won ugly, but we WON!!

I'd go with:

B: Kemp, Weitering, Newman
HB: Saad, McGovern, Docherty
C: Acres, Cripps, Hollands
HF: Martin, McKay, De Koning
F: Owies, C Curnow, Motlop
Fol: Pittonet, Hewett, Cerra
I/C: Walsh, Cottrell, Cincotta, Cuningham
Emerg(sub): Fogarty, Dow, Marchbank

Fisher out of calculation altogether?  I still worry about a battered Hollands on a wet track where his pace isn't necessarily going to be a significant advantage.

Our selections over the coming (hopefully) weeks is going to be interesting. Cincotta, Fogerty, Dow, Fisher, Durdin may not be in our best 22, but if required, have a major advantage over Kennedy, Boyd, even Cowan and Binns......recent, genuine match practice. I just can't see how you could consider Kennedy or Boyd in a final without a decent hit out under their belt. That deplorable effort by the Twos has killed off a number of players' chances of breaking back into the side.

Sydney is the weakest of the three (or four counting the Bullies) that we could have been up against. It's at the G which suits us more than them, Walsh, Cerra and McGovern have a game under their belts, Cripps and Doc have had their well earned rest and our injury list looks minimal. (Acres might be a worry). We will be far more mentally attuned in two weeks time.

Bring it on!!

If the MC believes that the correct formula is Charlie, Harry, TDK and Pittonet in the same team, why aren't they giving it a workout this weekend?  With Pittonet and McKay's injuries this year, the 4 have hardly ever played together, and if Pittonet is out of form, he ain't going to find it in the twos!!!
