One final comment on Sydney's win: a happy day for old South supporters (although the connection is tenuous I believe), but a sad day for football if that' the way of future. I.E.: A lock-down, defensive, scrambling, negative, and low scoring "ugly" spectacle. Andrew Demetriou only got it half right when he criticised Sydney's style earlier this year. Not much prospect of a Victorian club getting up in the forseeable future. As good as I believe St Kilda are it seems that talent is no answer against those who use the rules to nullify anything that resembles attacking and attractive footy. Anyway, well done Sydney, party hard and long (please). I’m glad the “footy topic” is still open here!
