I am very confused by what I saw today. I saw a side that was running third last do a number on the current premiers, who, although badly out of form were entitled to dish out a flogging to the Raiders and yet we saw the reverse eventuate. I am still in a state of shock.
Canberra played as a team for a change and did not leave everything to Brett Finch. Some of the other players stood up for a change and were counted. Mark McLinden made a great return from a broken jaw by playing all over Chris Walker in every facet of the game and provided some much needed spark in attack when he came onto the field. The team looked as though they had confidence and believed in their own ability to win the game and played the best football I have seen from them all year and gave coach Matt Elliott something to work with and look forward to next year. A lot of worj still needs to be done but I fail to understand how the team cannot play like they did today on a consisten basis. a couple of decent signings and Canberra could be the surprise packet of season 2002.
p.s Please, nobody bring up any negatives. It has been a long year and I just want a little time to revel in the unfamiliar feeling of victory(away from home too).
