2012 SANFL Grand Final

Didn't he go off in the third quarter and on his way to hospital for scans before the game was over? Nwd kicked to the northern end in the last, and he hurt himself down the southern.

Don't let facts get in the way of a good conspiracy theory.

Sorry. The conspiracy certainly did sound good

Now you've just all ruined Rucci's next scoop on the KT imbroglio!

Considering the amount of tickets they've given away, members, walk up starters and a nice looking day all things point to a good turnout.

James Gallagher has only hung around Norwood for a decade now in the hope that long-lost brother David is gonna show up.

I just got the feeling one game in five weeks may hurt Norwood. If West come out and attack the ball and create a lead and go to the way they played against North they will lose. West need to attack all day and not give Norwood any room. I still feel Westies will win by under a goal.

Before the 2nd semi, everybody (but norwood supporters) wrote off the Leggies because they hadn't played for close to 3 weeks. (out in straight sets wasn't it ) Now you're saying 2 games in 5 weeks is going to hurt the 'legs. You've played 3 finals in a row and your tired legs will be chasing 'Legs gurnsys over 4 quarters. Attitude counts for a lot in football and the 'Legs have the attitude, freshness and desire to make Westie miserable on Sunday.

GO NORWOOD

[HEADHUNTER]

Can't wait for this, two hard at it sides that play contested footy. Unlike some of the soft, bruise free football I've seen from the other SANFL clubs this year. This will be a arm wrestle from go to woe. If we don't turn up 100% switched on, we'll get rolled! West is the best opposition we've played this year and we will have to play our best to win.
If you don't like tough, contested football between two well coached teams this game won't be for you! And if you think this type of football is boring then go watch basketball, that's high scoring and non-contact, which some of you would be used to!
The crowd won't be big, unfortunately West don't have any supporters and the ticket prices are to high (not for us rich Norwood people).
One things guaranteed, the Norwood Army will be out in force!
As for Bass, he's a f**king legend!
GO THE REDLEGS!

bandwagoner ...

Yeah you're right...I did jump on the "BANDWAGON" just after I went to my first game in the late 70's with my late great Grandpa and my old man, I just haven't jumped off yet!
It's been an awesome ride and days like sunday is what it's all about......bring it on!!!

GO THE REDLEGS!

They don't have any bandwagonners who make their first post 2 days before the grand final either....

[Wedgie]

Now now nasty Glenelg supporters, we always welcome new posters here, the more the merrier!

Just said on c10 news that 12000 tix have been sold so far

12,000 sold already from ticketmaster... wow that surprises me

i would of thought 4 maybe 5 with most people walk up starters these days

i was predicting 24k hopefully i'm wrong.... 30k would be a huge coup

how many were there last year??

[goraw]

Was over 30k last year IIRC, maybe even 33k

[holden78]

Anything and I mean anything that makes this game exciting is what we want, just no blow outs please.
If it's a 2-2 draw at half time then they better crank up some home made UFC onfield

[Power From Port]

The Advertiser has done it again. List of figures for the GF says 0 Players have won the Jack Oatey Medal when basic research would have told them that the third ever winner of the medal was from Westies. Idiots

Not last year. The crowd last year was 25,234.

The previous 4 years when Central played North, Glenelg, Sturt and Norwood all drew over 30k but when Central have played West and Eagles (4 times) in the last 10 years each of the crowds have ranged between 24 and 28k.

Granted but the layoff could also mean rusty and stale. That type of layoff can effect sides differently. While it is great to have swagger and attitude. Belief is more important the belief that you can win this. I just feel in the first quarter they may be a little rusty it is wait and see. It should be a cracker of a game. And playing 3 weeks can help sides also there have been sides that have won after playing three weeks in a row.
