Official Match Thread Qualifying Final: Fighting Furies v Mod Squad @ Punt Road

[HBK619]

YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

WHAT A ****EN MATCH. BRILLIANT! That last half was insane, back and forth but the better team ended up on top.

Extremely happy with my game in a finals match showing that the cream does rise to the top cool. 23 disposals, 6 marks and 3 goals with a crucial one to keep us in the game in the last.

Fantastic effort boys and we NEED to continue it on into the rest of the finals and onto the Granny.

And just because I can, my 3 goal effort highlighted:

GOAL 1:
1 : 17.52 {C} - Larrikin wins the hitout.
1 : 18.01 {C} - Fred signals for his teammates to present.
1 : 18.05 {C} - What a tackle.
1 : 18.11 {C} - HBK619 is now off and running.
1 : 18.15 {C} - HBK619 has a bounce.
1 : 18.19 {C} - That looks pretty close ....
1 : 18.23 {C} - HBK619's dobbed it.

GOAL 2:
2 : 25.01 {C} - Both ruckman miss the ball completely.
2 : .07 {C} - With the ball is HBK619.
2 : .12 {C} - Passes to Equus by hand.
2 : .18 {C} - Tigerbabe kicks to gain distance but the umpire calls deliberate.
2 : .22 {C} - Stereophonic with some space now.
2 : .26 {C} - There's been a push-out and Fred will lose the ball.

4 : 18.08 {C} - HBK619 loves a shot at goal.
4 : 18.13 {C} - HBK619's kick is close. A goal!.

Not like I'm gloating or anything.

^^^ Worth noting the '{C}' HBK. Seems that they were all long goals.

A better fight from the Mods than expected but as predicted the Furies march on.

As good as a Daniel Rich long bomb, every one

Great game, looks like a real rivalry is building between these 2 sides. Hopefully we meet again and the Mods can get some revenge.

Great win boys, PHX i am a liability in the forward pocket i have been struggling to get a kick for the last 6 weeks so a move to a flank or something would be great, if possible.

 

[Equus]

Wow. That was an amazing match!!! I was at the edge of my seat in excitement!!!

Well played Mod. Good luck next week!

 

[Fred]

Sure was a close one. We'll turn the tables next time.

Big, big win in the context of the finals series. The consistent performers of the SFA step it up again come the pointy end of the year - huge. It was certainly a quality game of football and the Mod Squad served it up on our home patch, gotta pay that - but the pre-game centurion should account for the closeness of the contest.

Bigger and better things now lads, we've got some Dragon slaying to do.

 

[PHX]

Holy freakin' hell, what a game it was.

Put up one hell of a fight, Mods.

Well done Furies. Rollin' on to take on the Shagons.

 

[Cousin Jed]

My fault. Sorry guys.

 

[rfctigerarmy]

Was a good game after a solid build up to the game - it met expectation.

Great job by us Furies though. We're playing some quality footy at the moment.

 

[tugga]

Great win Furies. Epic encounter. That's what finals footy is all about.

 

[BILC]

Epic win Furies

Well always scrap it out in a close one

 

[larrikin]

Aaargh, such a close one too

How many lead changes were there?

 

[Itsmyshow]

Robbed we was... Great game though

Big effort required next week to see us through... C'mon Mods, this season has only just begun for us...

 

[one eyedtiger]

Woah what a game. Early in the 1st we trailed by 23 and then we took the lead out to 27 points, but the mods came back and made it a thriller. Furies just a little bit too good in the end.

Great win boys, now for the Dragons and a spot in the Grand Final
GO FURIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Dingster]

Disappointing to lose, but good have my best game in a final. Looking forward to a big win next week.
