Biggest choke since North in 1985, who were also 11-0 at one point...

Thought Firns was very good on Curran. The Eagles defence, particularly Giuffreda, Jungfer and Rowland were very good. Tsitas also very good.
Poor discipline by Riley Knight to give away a couple of crucial 25m penalties. The Eagles must cut that out of their game - a good side is better than that.
Would like to see Stengle used on the ball as Rowe was last year. Especially in conditions like that and when he was being shaded by his opponent.
Macfarlane and Mutch not quite up to SANFL level?

Not even close, North lost 7 games that year including 3 to Glenelg and one to Westies by 100 points.
Glenelg were odds on favs for the Grand Final that year, just like they will be this year but probably even shorter again when they will be undefeated.
Definately would be the worst choke of all time if the Bays lost this year, nothing else in my memory would be close, can't see it happening though.

Enjoying this type of stuff, wasn't long ago we were easy beats. Great position to be in.

I think Thompson also was very good for us in defence.
Glenelg too good today. Not sure whether we play each other again before the finals but I do think that the teams are quite evenly matched and that the next game will be a 50-50.
I don't agree with your assessment about Macfarlane Aerie. He had a quiet one for us today but has generally been pretty good for us. However I do agree with your assessment about Much. Not really seeing anything about him that got him onto an AFL list and can't quite work out what his role is in our team.

Pretty fair assessment, definitely will be even money bet when in all likelihood we’ll meet on Sun 5/9.
Mind you I look forward to playing you with Hosie, Stretch and Virgin back in the side, acknowledging you’ll have a few to come back too.
