Rnd 11: Port Magpies v Norwood @ Alberton Oval (Sat 15/6)

[Rik E Boy]

Oh sorry.

[Rik E Boy]

Booney does raise a valid point though, there are enough of those type of threads on here currently and do not need the weekly match thread clogged up with similar crap....

Like the t20 haters? :grin:

**** that teeball crap.

regards,

REB

[Booney]

This could be the last time these 2 traditional rivals play against each other at Alberton?

Can we leave this type of talk to the threads dedicated to it? We all know nothing has been tabled, discussed or voted on. Might be "the last" of something every week this year, might not be.

Fair enough, Booney, appreciate what you are saying there...

One last thing from me on it - Nathan Bassett is thinking the same thing, reading his blog on the NFC website...

This week we take on an improving Port Adelaide and with the changing shape of the SANFL it could be the last time we play our traditional rivals at Alberton. It would be great to see a large contingent of Norwood supporters there so hopefully you can make the drive down Port Road for what could be an historic occasion.

So you appreciate my comments, then add another one along the same lines....

[Dutchy]

Would have thought that this possibly being the last clash of the traditional rivals at Alberton would be worth discussing?

[Pseudo]

An important discussion indeed, Dutchy.

Will Norwood get to keep the Williams-Gallagher trophy in perpetuity after the conclusion of this game?

[Booney]

Sure, go for it.

Maybe start a new thread to discuss it.

I think you are being a tad precious, Booney, I was merely pointing out that someone of high profile in Bass also pointed out the same thing...

Agreed...

[Booney]

An important discussion indeed, Dutchy.

Will Norwood get to keep the Williams-Gallagher trophy in perpetuity after the conclusion of this game?

Based on what decisions that have been made, may I ask?

Or are we all going to take "someone in the know I spoke too" as gospel?

Will Norwood get to keep the Williams-Gallagher trophy in perpetuity after the conclusion of this game?

On the usual basis, viz. Norwood being in front on head-to-head results against Port in the home-and-away season.

[Booney]

A tad precious?

Hmm. The possibility that the team I have grown up loving may or may not (as we know, nothing has been decided) disappear is getting discussed on nearly every thread in the SANFL board and I'm a little precious over it? Well pardon me.

It's nearly as prolific as the publicity surrounding the Gowans' book. I said nearly.

More the insinuation that this will be the last game between the two sides, when as far as we all know nothing has been decided.

Ha ha, I see the point you are trying to make...

I appreciate your passion, for sure, and would hate to have my club in your position...

Apologies for the comments mate...

It's a port topic, booney! With the rivalry yourselves and norwood pump up against each other of course It's relevant.
Also relevant is the result, which I think will go in norwood's favour by about 9 goals, to kick away late. Shame it isn't on tele, but hopefully it pulls a big crowd.

[Brodlach]

I agree with Booney

In every thread to the end of the season are going to read "Last time Port......" That is going to get really tiresome, until an annoucement is actually made there is no need for it.

Could be the last time alot of things happen in the SANFL.


I now feel dirty supporting a Magpie supporter

Agreed, I'll share the support so you don't have to feel so dirty...

This could be the last time Sturt play Glenelg 3 weeks before Sturt play Port. Might make that a point of discussion! .

Power are sticking with Lobbe as the lone ruckmen.
Looks like we get to keep Renouf for another week.
Could get Matt Thomas and Luke Brown back aswell.
James Aish would have to be a definate starter, he wont play many more games for Norwood so we need to make the most of him

Given the form displayed by the 22 who played last week and the need for Sanderson to sacrifice some lambs at the selection table, I would have thought that Luke Brown would be a pretty solid chance to be played by the Crows if he's fully fit.

James Aish is actually a definite starter for the SA U/18s, sadly for Norwood. The last 2 games have really been little more than practice matches, and the real stuff (vs Vic Country at Richmond) starts this weekend. Then the U/18s have a week off (so he can play for us vs South), then back into the national comp on Friday 28 June, so he can't play for us vs Centrals! Poor scheduling, AFL— should have thought more about the strength of Norwood's opponents when putting the national champs together.

What's amazing is that Peter Bampton is a definite starter for Norwood, having been left out of the SA U/18 team for this weekend. Based on his performance at Richmond (and in the Foxtel Cup), that kid can really play. We'll totally take him if the SA U/18 side doesn't want him, but if he's not in SA's best 22 players under the age of 18, then this must be the greatest ever draft crop from SA coming up!

Well assuming you over the endless commentary around the subject then tell your club to withdraw it's selfish wish to want a Reserves Team in our comp and then we will stop commenting on defending our "turf"! Typical selfish PAFC attitude - suits you to discuss it when you want to but only on your tems and when it suits your agenda!

Thanks for that Simon, I got the schedule for the u18's wrong, I thought the u18's had a fortnight off.
Agree about Bampton, he just looks quality. Will be a bumper draft this year if he cant make the 22. Doesnt look like a good year for the Cows not to have picks
