I have to say that the 4A game was not as exiting as the playoff games leading up to it. I was dissapointed in SV. Play was too direct with everything having to go through Sean Flynn, The other forward did nothing for SV. And for all the talk about big fields and NW play, nothing but direct to Kropp and Enzo. Enzo did well but a couple of different decisions could have resulted in better opportunities.
Very little wing play to unbalance the defense. Parker and Paddy did not click together to control the midfield, although Paddy was more apt to look for the wide players.
And lastly, I had seen Sv do this before but to attack in the air against NWs defense was not a good idea. Suffice to say that prior to the game I thought SV would win as I felt they would match up better but needed a little more umph.
PK.... I do not know ... it was a call that the referee certainly was in the best position to make. For sure NW played very aggresive from the first whistle and kept SV on their heels for most the first half, well done.
As for a final not a pretty game but finals seldom are. NW prevented anything that SV could think off and therefore deserved the win.
Hey Magpie was that you with the Newcastle shirt in the stands?
