And bottom line Cobb has been out of playing top line footy for a long time. If it was legends week TTG, Goodwood and PNU should have been informed to let Klaebe, Mills and Macca* pull on the guernseys.

EDIT - the other way of looking at it is that the PNU side that beat Henley had 2 players over 25 and none over 27. The style of footy Div 1 is at now skews young

Macca has said he will never play again. It's important to him that the last man to ever Coach him will always remain the great Tommy Javor. i heard him say this in an interview

But he looks 19, so even it out.

Paul Lowe is 29 inches tall

Edited for accuracy

Goodwood v PNU next week . TTG up by 15 pts at the half but a 9 goal 3rd qtr to PNU did the damage

TTG and FC gifted PNU the win

If that's the usual standard of D1 umpiring my mind is blown.

Very very pedantic today

Handed it to us

PNU finishing with 15 fit men. Gutsy win. We will struggle with the 5 or 6 injuries though.

That's a fairly poor effort in the end by TTG.
Kells to collect his 6th.

Clearly you were not at the game if you are saying TTG put in a poor effort. They had a real crack but a couple of Falcons having amazing purple patches in the third allowed us to rattle on a run off goals.

I clearly read a page ago it was handed to us

Why are you being such smartarses about it?

I simply implied that TTG were depeleted of their better players and as a result you it would've been an easy win.

I was right.

It sounded like TTG fought hard in the end and did bloody well to get back within 3 goals after the third quarter.

I'm staying on the PNU bandwagon for next week. they're really owning Div 1 at the minute.

It was a great effort by TTG I thought, but the third quarter by PNU was some of the best Ammo footy I've seen.

Fun fact, PNU was fully fit and put out their first choice side

Seemed pretty par for the course.

Will post some more sober reflected thoughts late. While I remember it I just wanted to mention TTG played with 4 points yesterday. To make a Div 1 prognostic final relying that predominantly on home grown and long term players is something every club in the League should aspire to

A very prognostic comment in my view
