However at half-time it didn’t appear like the night would go to plan. Schwass and Daniel Harris weighed in with their opinions.
Won't win a final by continuosly kicking backwards. Playing this way plays into @EssendonFC hands. Be brave & take it on @NorthKangaroos

@NorthKangaroos we need to be more attacking and take them on quick and direct to our forwards... Big second half. #fightbackboys

As the comeback began, both Schwass and Harris were vindicated in their comments.
Direct football and look what happens. Better.

Once Drew Petrie kicked his two match-winning goals to seal the game, the celebrations started.
