I would back beeroclock's credentials any day. He has been involved in a lot of premierships as a player and coach over the years. His observations are spot on. Half way through the third qtr, Mawson Lakes were 7 goals up and from that point they were smashed in the centre clearances, which is why Ingle Farm hit the front twice in the last qtr. The player most responsible for winning the centre clearances for Ingle Farm was M Smart who turned back the clock a few years. So, the challenge for Ingle Farm is to maintain the focus on the footy for all 4 qtrs, not just the last qtr and a half. If they do this then their first win is not far away.
Blind Freddy could have worked out that ML were getting smashed at the clearances in the 2nd half, but Blind Freddy should also have pointed out that Ingle Farm's lack of discipline (in the 1st half) probably cost them the game. By all reports this Knowles bloke that is coaching I/F is held in high regard, but if the players keep up the 'Coach Killer' acts like they did in the 1st half, well the players have only got themselves to blame if he walks.
