What a performance, and what a way to win it!! A final worthy of its name! Where to start it would be extremely hard to find any negative in that side! Firstly all due credit to Sinisa and i for one would be more than happy to see him extended into AU championship!
2 other things especially stood out to me though also, 1. The hunger today of Bonada and how much of a cog Mikkola actually is.. no need to mention Javi thats just second nature now! What can one even say other than take a bow Dovison, you are now engrained into SMFC folklore son, a display worthy of a highlights reel!

Its hard to go past the idea of what couldve been though, if only we had the guts to have made the necessary changes earlier!

The rest of them must be happy that we didnt make finals bc i find it hard to see which team would beat us!

I called it much to the dismay of some bergers fans around me from the 88th minute that we would score and that this would hurt more than losing to Avondale! From the reactions i believe to be true! 🤣

The Bergers fans were going off chops, it was glorious... I don't think I stopped smiling for about 16 hours.......

I thought heidelberg were hard done by with the dissalowed goal, unless im missing something. Problem with that club is that they have become a pack of whingers, so use to winning every week that now that a few results have gone against them they isolate these incidents and think the world is against them. They need to snap out of this mindset or they will go trophyless this season. The keepers post match sook blaming the refs shows that they are psychologically fragile.

Thats not to say they dont have legit gripes, but the reality is all clubs get screwed over at some point. Look at us with our 1 solitary penalty this season. Heidelberg scored a clear handball goal against dandenong city thats probably going to cost dandy finals football...but you didnt see them carry on over it.

Heidelberg are still the best team in Victoria, but our boys have massively closed the gap on them compared to when we played them in April and our performance against them 2 weeks ago with half a team out showed that we were always going to be a threat today. What we saw was that no matter where South is...the bergers historically always fear us when a trophy is on the line.

10 state/npl titles, 10 dockerty cup titles. Our pedigree even outside the top flight is still super strong.

Campbell's first goal was clearly over the line, their dissalowed goal was sketchy but upon replay I reckon fair call for offside, player on the line should have moved out of the way and it would have stood... The ONLY thing those whiners can complain about wasa dodgy slide in the box late by Pope, I was suprised it wasn't given as a pen.... buit otherwise a real slug fest of a game, entertaining and high octane for at least 90% of it... SO SO SO proud of SInisa and the boys, what a season. What a goal with 15 seconds to go... and to top it off the girls won on penalties the next day....

FARKIN HELLAS, it just means more.
 
A great effort by the coaching staff and playing group on not giving up on the season when all looked loss only a few months ago.

Heidelberg are the best NPL team in the country and we went toe to toe with them which is an outstanding effort considering they’ve been building their squad for 2 years and had 4 windows, and we’ve only had 2 windows.

It sounds like Sinisa and his coaching staff are close to being re-signed for the Australian Championship and the NPL next season.
