What a Finish! Ireland by One Point in an International Thriller

I recall Justin Leppitsch taking quite a number of overhead marks, also Barry Hall and Matthew Pavlich, Ryan O'Keefe.

I think if there is no wind the Aussies don't find the round ball so difficult to mark, it does float a lot if there is a breeze and the Irish would be used to this but as Brett says it is quite foreign to the Aussies as the oval spinning Sherrin is more aerodynamically stable on a windy day.

You're probably right about there being some overhead marks, although when I was trying to recall I did think that even some of the better performers like Pavlich were mostly taking chest marks on the lead. I remember O'Keefe did well, so yeah maybe that was overheads.

Harvey and Dale Thomas both tried to take "hangers" in this match. Harvey just missed getting the sit, Thomas was up about 3m from the drop. Ambitious but nice to see them trying.
