Just a really great game all round. The skill level and commitment to contests was uniformly very high.
Geelong came in with an excellent gameplan and were very close to stealing it. You'd have to say the short week cost them late in the game. Duncan and Stewart are plainly two of the most underrated players in the game.
Conversely, west coast would be equally happy to get the W. For a lot of the game it just felt like it was Geelong's night, they couldn't miss in front of goal. But Naitanui was sensational, and old man Kennedy was clutch as * in the last quarter.
Umpires were ******* atrocious, which is a pity because other than that it was one of the games of the year.
