The Pies tried hard throughout and even looked the better
side at times, but were ultimately outclassed by their more
experienced opponents as they slumped to a 16th loss for the
season. Midfield duo Taylor Adams (31 disposals and 10
clearances) and Jordan De Goey (23 touches) won plenty of the
ball, while goal-sneak Jamie Elliott played a lone hand up
forward with four goals. ... The last 12 months haven't been
great for the Magpie Army, but there are enough positive signs
coming out of the Holden Centre to think a rapid rise up the
ladder won't be too far away. The nucleus of Brodie Grundy,
Taylor Adams, Darcy Moore, Jordan De Goey and Jack Crisp are
still in their prime, while teenagers Jack Ginnivan, Jay
Rantall, Oliver Henry and Finlay Macrae have shown enough this
season to prove they will be around for some time. Throw
another talented Daicos into the mix and Nathan Buckley's
successor has plenty to work with in 2022 and beyond.
The Dons had secured an unlikely return to the finals, the Pies had
long been playing out time in a tumultuous year for the club, and
the two sides produced the type of bruise-free football associated
with such a low-stakes game. Had this been cricket, the players
would’ve shaken hands 20 minutes into the third quarter, the Bombers
content with first innings points and the Pies glad to get on the
end-of-season beers 45 minutes early. |
