A lot definitely weren’t cards.

Suns deserved the result.
To miss the grand final for that is a joke.
Second goal virtually a pass back.
Keeper made a meal of it.
Great crowd.

Yeah great crowd and awesome atmosphere. Funny, I thought Dudley’s better chances were before the send off. Their best chance was just before Suns got the 2nd goal. At it’s 1-1 a totally different game.
The football was pretty good and there were some fierce tackles which is expected in this clash.
My comment about the red card - no malice in my opinion. He was going for the ball as he does fifty times a game, but got it wrong. He’s not the sort of player to do that deliberately based on what I’ve seen of him. The bloke rides tackles all game and just gets on with it. Not a dirty player at all, but I reckon he got this tackle slightly wrong and the rest is history.
It’d be a shame if he misses the GF. Don’t know anybody who wish that on him or anyone else
