Spent the game in the sun in front of the scoreboard, which was wall to wall with (mostly) black and gold. Many familiar faces and a number of occasionals made for excellent camaraderie and atmosphere through the game.
Caught the second half of the reserves which was a cracker; could have gone either way. Took some last minute heroics by Cooper Beecken to clutch the win.
In the main game, Bays well on top for three quarters, without ever being able to put Sturt away. Thought the Blues would wilt in the final term but much to their credit they dug deep and dominated. Couldn't make the most of their chances though. Perhaps ironically it was when Frederick goaled that I thought the Bays were home ... Sturt had had a massive crack, but it had still taken them 9 minutes to score the first goal of the term. They were nearly spent and they weren't going to bridge the gap.
Two premiership wins, two goalless games for Liam McBean. Curious that Josh Hone couldn't kick a goal either. Both of 'em had their chances though I reckon McBean was better held by his opponents.
Might have given Jack Oatey to Gerloff myself, but Hosie's 6 goals makes him more than worthy. Kenneth, Jack, a premiership medallion AND the Coles Value Player Award (tm) - he'll be walking with a stoop, with all the weight around his neck.
Back to the hallowed ground for banter with many of the people that I stand shoulder-to-shoulder with during the season. Home with an armful of fresh merch. Wake this morning and make the daily constitutional walk sporting a new Tshirt, past the shop to grab a copy of the 'Tiser. Back to the clubrooms for lunch, where a number of the more rusted-on fans drifted in over the afternoon. Thomas was conspicuously absent, but the Reserves Cup (which doesn't have a name?) was there. Back home, I'm bushed. Still got to back up for the chimney tomorrow.
Kudos to Sturt for making a game out of it, for making it a victory worth having. Mattner's comments after the game were well made (though I had to watch the replay to hear them - couldn't hear jack on the hill).
Thanks also to the well wishers in this thread, and for the SAfooty folk in general, whose banter during the season helps to make the working week tolerable. How good is footy?

the rest is history

Yet the club still does nothing about them.
