South by 41 points in the end.

Very disappointing performance by North, South way too good today

Important win. Broke even against the wind in the first term before opening up a 5 goal lead at HT. North clawed their way back into it, but after a very slow start to the final term South booted the final 4 majors with the wind to run out comfortable winners.

Entertaining match to watch for the most part I thought. Liked the games of Brooksby, Noble, Davis and Brown, young Kappler played OK after a forgettable debut last week, while the big Yank Aurrichio is offering a bit in ruck and up forward.

Well done to Rankine on 100 games. Can be a frustrating player to watch at times (ie today..streaming forward, goals within reach,but decides to handful to a stationary team-mate with a North bloke hanging off him. Why?!) but has had a reasonable year for us.

Low crowd and minimal atmosphere.

How can you back either of these sides. I was writing South off last week but North have hit the bottom. Best side in the first half of the year and getting well beaten last 3 games.

Last time (I think) North made the finals in 2013 IIRC they lost the last 5 minor round games before winning from the Elim Final through to the GF, could lightning strike twice?
