On one hand, filthy at the bombers for tonight's performance, on the other hand, absolutely rapt that, from the point where Rankine was milking the clock outside 50, we miraculously retained split points.

Despite Pidge's 92 point first half, if you told me before the game that he would score 110 tonight, I would have taken it. Curious, how many points WAS that another worth? Did anyone happen to catch it?

Not sure what was going on in that last 30 seconds. So many poor moments.
Rankine at worst has to just land that ball on the goal line for Witts (the biggest bloke on the field) to whack it through for a point. Not 25m out the fat side of the ground where it's easy for the Bombers to defend and get boundary side.

It'll go unnoticed but Lemmens tried to take on about 6 blokes to manufacture a shot in the dying seconds, just had to get a kick or handball away much quicker, just get it closer to the goal line and continue to pressure it across for a score.
You can forgive the Rankine mistake as a kid without much experience but Lemmens needs to be better than that. I’d wager he’s played close to 100 games by now and that was just dumb.

missed the ending. Scaling still to occur too, right?

Cheers
2284 in the end ... Noice! See Zimmerman with 2287 lol - well played! Cindy specials with 2294 - You'd be feeling pretty chuffed with a >2300

Because of scaling right at the end I didn't see him get any!
