Game Over.... Lily of Laguna playing on the radio.
I'll recap - but remember, I really don't know if these guys knew who our players were. Every time the ball went forward it went to Fev (not Fish or Waite), and I never heard Bower mentioned once, but the other blokes heard him mentioned on their station a lot.
Libba pleased - thought guys had a really good effort. Nick Stevens played well. They reckon last week was an aberration. Players just need to compete really hard. Chances of eight... must be realistic, but are hoping to get up to tenth.
If you ring ABC radio now you might be able to win a footy signed by Denis, Stevens, Worsfold, and Banfield. Tell 'em how much Swans won GF by.
Stevens interviewed. Players let themselves down against PA. Eagles had a lot out, but good that everyone put in a real effort. Stevens then hauled into shed.
Fev 5 goals, Waite 3, Fish 2, Murphy 1, Betts 1
Lynch 3, Le Cras 2, Armstrong, Staker etc etc for Eagles.
Back to commentators: No really big high marks - but Aussie Rules is about contests, and we saw all that tonight. Blokes were doing disciplined and team things. Both coaches would go away very pleased with the efforts of their players. Carlton can take away that their blokes were doing the hard things. Second and third tier Carlton players better than those of Eagles - Bentick, Scotland, Bryan, Davies, and Simpson named in this group. Plenty of depth for Carlton to look forward to in future. Carlton can feel fairly satisfied with performance.
Jarrad Waite played a good service-like game. Complements Fev and always presents. Played on Adam Hunter.
Game played at a quick pace - with running from one end of ground to the other. Pressure much higher at AFL level (duh!)
Dylan McLaren a big man who did great job in ruck, around the ground, and also in defence.
And that's it from the ABC commentators.
