Rance was also only looking at the ball.Legends of 2017 said:I stopped watching it after the Rance free kick where Betts shoves him out. The caption is Betts clearly had eyes on the ball. He did. AFTER shoving Rance out

Now there's a memory he wont forget in a hurry!!
tigersnake said:Tried the SEN commentary, OMG, woeful. 'Dusty gets a Colvan Chips handball out to Dion Prestia on the Meadow Lea the great tasting margerine HBF position who kicks it long for Radio Rentals to Jack Riewoldt who takes a mark for PATRA ORANGE JUICE!'
can't listen to it
tigersnake said:after a few more watches, couple of obs. Townsend wasn't just a solid physical presence, I would have been happy with that BTW, he was brilliant. So many quick, blink and you miss them aggressive acts of support for team mates. I'd have him in the best, admittedly the best would be 10 players, but he'd be in there. He gets better with each viewing
Absolutely agree with this re Townsend.
I too was impressed in this game and the other finals.
He is an old fashioned footballer who makes the game easier for those around him.
He is a great mark, an accurate kick and a fierce tackler.
Perfect for the role he has now, not suited to being an on baller.
He is the ideal forward pocket foil for those around him.

Letsroar said:Watched the preliminary final again yesterday. The irony of the situation is that Townsend is just the player that GWS need. Someone who will do the hard yards just to make it easier for his high pick mates and make them look good. GWS has all the talent in the world but not keen to scrap and fight for the hard ball enough and when you don't have the ball.
I love the Towner easy, however as silly as it sounds, considering his just become a Premiership player , I don’t think he’ll play a lot of senior footy, unless we have a bad injury run. I see players like J Graham, C Ellis , D Rioli playing more midfield time which will allow Caddy , Martin and the Skip spending more time forward , also think there will be another tall in the forward line I.e Moore, Griffiths or maybe Hampson for many games, all this I think will push Towner out.easy said:I thought exactly the same LR.
We have a couple of enigmas in the side, and Towner is one of em.
I really hope he can cement his place.
He has a lot to give and is made for pressure, team first, footy.
when you think about it, the game plan we won the flag with is almost impossible to coach against (what are you gonna do? get the runner to distribute bubble suits?),
and cant really go out of fashion.
I assume you meant to type "don't" between the "I" and"think".CC TIGER said:I love the Towner easy, however as silly as it sounds, considering his just become a Premiership player , I think he’ll play a lot of senior footy, unless we have a bad injury run.
