Reds coach Dave Kennewell said he was impressed with his side’s ability to finish off plays.

“We jumped out of the blocks in the first quarter and kicked seven goals,’’ he said. “We played some good footy around the ball. In my three years at the club it is the best brand of footy I have seen. I was rapt.’’
