To everyone else, that was a crazy game of football. Some random thoughts on the game:
- Dudley were 30 seconds away from pulling off the best win in Newcastle football history.
- Number 8, Charlie Halsley (think i'm misspelling it) for Dudley must have covered 30kms that game... what a work horse.
- The Palozzis once again proving they are the most dominant footballing family in Newcastle. If Alex lost 30kgs he could play for the Jets.
- I'm not sure how the right back for Dudley didn't get sent off for that disgraceful challenge on the Suns midfielder in the first few minutes of the game... I'd be surprised if he didn't break or fracture his leg.
- It was bizarre to see Suns fans singing those songs in what sounded like the Bulgarian language. I have never heard any of the other ethnic clubs doing that (Azzurri, Croatia, Olympic) and I don't think that has a place in Australian football.
- Some of the bad eggs in the Dudley fanbase have tarnished the whole club with their behaviour.
- Suns fans at least had some songs to sing, the Dudley fans songs, which was mainly sung by about four or five mums, was honestly laughable.
- Dudley can blame Tully for their loss IMO. A senior player with his experience and quality getting sent off for something to stupid so early in a grand final match is probably one of the low points in his career. Not only did he do that, but the attempted """punches""" that he threw after the initial altercation was probably one of the saddest things I've seen in years. No comment on his fathers behaviour after the send off because he's been like that for years -- an absolute bellend.
- If Dudley did seal the win, they could basically thank Coxy for that red card tackle he made. That almost proved to be the smartest foul of the year.
