After enduring ‘weekendus horribilus’ last week, South Australian football fans had something to cheer about this week with both Adelaide sides now just one win away from a Grand Final. Both victories came over Victorian sides. The Pies – the last great Victorian hopes - will be feeling a little apprehensive. But for now it’s farewell to the Bombers and Demons, who can rest their weary legs in the summer months.
An undermanned Bombers outfit battled bravely at Football Park tonight, but ultimately bowed out of the finals race after a 24-point defeat by Port Adelaide. Neither Matthew Lloyd nor Mark Mercuri played, and we lost Mark Bolton early with a torn hamstring. Somehow we still fought and scrapped to lead by two goals at half-time, but were overrun in the second half, despite fighting every inch of the way.
