Deserved to win the game with their F50 entries, but unfortunately a lack of direction heading forward cost them shots on goal. Controlled majority of the game. Glanville in the ruck was massive around the ground, can't recall him losing a tap, and Kerrigan was easily one of your best all day. Good to see Sebastian named in the best too - thought he was outstanding on the wing - cant kick, but hunts the ball well and finds plenty of it.
Henderson stiff not to get a mention in the best players - the 67 year old veteran was Wayne Carey like in the 1st term, plucking contested marks at will across half forward.
Not bad place to watch footy from at the top of the hill either, food was amongst the best i've had all year, the vast array of craft beers was a pleasant change from the same old red tins or super dry at other clubs, and i managed to get a nice bottle of cab sav which went down a treat!
I know our lads enjoyed having a few drinks up there - best part being the fact hardly any of them had reception so the partners couldn't call
Great hospitality after the A grade game too. I know the boys that hung around enjoyed the free beers while they were there, and lets not mention the 2 litre flask of Grappa. Cheers Houghton.
On a side note, spent all day trying to find someone to take Zatan's reference, but know one wanted anything to do with it.
