Watch out for Shannon Motlop this finals series, unless he's with Melbourne. Played some wonderful VFL finals footy, a player who can have a big impact. Finals suit him, he plays like he wants to prove something. Kicked 2 great last 1/4 goals in 2003 prelim for Port against willy, and 2 goals in a minute for Sandy in last years granny broke the game open in the 3rd 1/4. His 2nd, (having just kicked 1 from 50), Motlop grabbed the ball from the bounce, danced & weaved around traffic, broke free and drilled it from 50. Truly inspiring. One of the best goals i've seen, and at the right time. Sandy will do well to have him in the team over the coming weeks.

Motlop kicked a similar goal up at Bendigo last Sunday....certainly has the knck to mesmerise opposition players.. That goal he got in the 3rd 1/4 in the Grand Final last year still is one of the best I've ever seen...and being in a GF made it all the more impressive... GO ZEBRAS
