42.........first half of the season SD would of been marked at 10 out of 10.......second half of the season I reckon 2/10 thus making it a 6 overall........the experts were proven right eventually on the way SD finished their season and especially that last quarter choke v EF only reinforced that......perhaps SD fantastic yet unexpected start to the season lulled a few of you SD boys into a false sense of security.....easily done I guess......aat the half way point of the season SD were the best side in the comp,at the end they close to being the worst.....perhaps with a bit more rest between games to rest all those fatigued bodies Harding can prevent that situation from happening again.......I rate EF last quarter v SD as a 10/10.....overall the season at a 6 perhaps a 7.....hopefully a 7.5 after a prelim win.....

Interesting rating's you have come up with there freeze. EF have the most experienced side in the comp bar WART so anything less than a Premiership/Grand Final appearance should be rated an F for FAIL!

naagh to me BH the word fail is a more apt description of a side, 5 goals in front at 3/4 time of a sudden death final, turning that lead over within 9 min and then losing the game by nearly the same margin!.....considering EF didn't make the finals last year your fail mark for EF is an interesting one IF they don't play off in the gF this year

BH, I agree with your SD inexperience, EF more experience/own dung heap logic though,......SD ducklings caved or should I say choked when EF experience came to the fore in the last stanza, as you said would or should happen! ......realistically the only other alternative we can explore here is that EF took it easy on SD for 3 quarters, before getting serious in the final quarter and then putting SD to the sword?.....which in all honesty is not what I'm hearing really happened from those folk close to me, who went to the game...because SD played some really good footy apparently and were giving EF the run around!!

On a side note to the game itself,I left the ground vowing never to head back to that shit hole!
It is in the top 2 for worst grounds in the comp in terms of facilities and is in a shocking state! The powers that be did nothing on the day to make it appealing.
