Nuri must feel like they are reliving last years fairytale finals series. congratulations to the Tigers for a gutsy win over the Redlegs. There is only one problem for Nuri, Jarrod Schiller (The best U'17.5 player by a mile) will not be eligible to take any part of Nuri's premiership assault this time around.

Well for Doherty his season is over. Nuri took the game in a very hard game and could they do it again like they did in 08?

Freeling 1.1 2.3 2.4 2.5 (17)
Good to see that Freeling still don't know how to play a full game. They have had this problem all season. This time they let 2 quarters go. You cant play finals footy this way boys.
To answer your question, CC, no they can't (do it again like last year). I saw the match and while Nuri did enough to win in difficult conditions, there is daylight between the two remaining Gawler sides and Nuri this year. It will be GC by at least 5 goals this week and then SG will easily account for Nuri the week after. Freeling looked the better side in the first half but failed to take their opportunities. Doherty played ok, but was effectively tagged to curb his influence.[/quote][/quote]
