Werribee have a great mix and well balanced team. They are good enough and self belief as they can win even though they are down at three quarter time. Imagine if they still had jake riccardo? He kicked 4 goals last night for gws. They are a genuine flag threat.

Robbo, that stat says so much......two seasons running we have had inexperienced yet very talented lists that just don't quite know how to close out. Werribee on the other hand get it done in the close ones, and look at where they are. Hope they win the lot to be honest.

Add 3 reasonable talls to our list, keep what we have and we're playing finals next year. I'd put my house on it. Keep at it Dolphs!

AJ, I agree about Kardinia Park not being a good venue to attend. Apart from the issues during entry, we're you even allowed on the ground during quarter time breaks? I took my two year old the other week, and she had no option but to run around the concrete concourse. Far from ideal. 

Mind you, at the other extreme I am seeing more on and more grounds that appear to have no spectator facilities. 

GWS played a game on what looked to be a school oval, with no fences and a soccer field lying just beyond it.

Arden Street was by far the worst we've been to this year, with absolutely zero spectator facilities provided by the club. Luckily the gym next door allowed spectators in to use their toilet, and a food truck rocked up in the small cark park in the forward pocket. Kardinia Park did allow people on the ground during breaks when we were there, and at least had toilets and food/coffee.

As i remarked on here recently, it's grossly unfair to expect part-time footballers who have been on the tools all day to have to travel down to Geelong and take on a team of professional footballers who have had the feet up all day and to get so close
