May appear as a bold statement but here me out.
The main point I'm emphasising is that the torrential rain made the game so great! In those sort of conditions both teams were still able to score as many points as the Swans and other teams do on a dry day when the "flooding" takes place.
The only flooding issued on friday night was from Mother nature and it made for a great game. Players were actually kicking long to contests and therefor the game was won by the team who won the 50/50 battles.
It was exciting to see players throwing themselves at the footy and doing "wirrapundas", aswell as using their first option! Deep in the backline players weren't going sideways and backwards as often as usual and players were able to contest the ball because the players were simply "GETTING IT ON THE BOOT".
It was great to see footy played like it used to be on Friday night and the true stars were able to show their worth by winning contested footy (Kerr, Judd, Johnson).
All I can say is I hope the drought breaks and we get some more wet weather footy!
