SA Footy

Crows are red hot but Norwood have a habit of beating the inform sides (except us hehe).

Norwood by a goal.

Norwood’s rotten run with injury has continued with Callum Bartlett and Mitch Wilkins set to miss the rest of the season.

Crows by plenty, Norwood's form has been very average.

Agree with this.
We do seem to lift a gear against the AFL sides but we go in pretty undermanned whilst the Crows have a full list to choose from. $400k side will be no match for a $4m side, Crows by 12 goals

Another meaningless game for player development.
Unfortunately Norwood's top 3 aspirations and their percentage likely to take a bit of a hammering.
Adelaide Reserves by 55-60 points.

Expect Norwood to take it up to the ravens. But ravens too strong in last half. 5 goals.

I cant see us getting over the line here. Not playing well enough where on the other hand the crows will have anoher strong line up. Although they will have a couple of outs for traveling emergencies for the AFL side, I cant see them dropping away much.

Crows by 6 goals.

Lots of Norwood posters play it down on here yet at games behave exactly the opposite. Must be a ploy so when they lose it's ok to say ' told you so".

Some have predicated a drop out of the top 3 ,if that did occur would people start believing last year was simply a legacy of Bassett and think maybe Warren was the wrong choice ? Maybe that will be clearer next year.

Had a pretty good run with injuries the past few years but this year its our turn to cop them. Some big gaps to fill this year with the players we lost and the injuries have further compounded it. Wouldnt matter who was coaching

Whilst I might be one of those appearing to "play it down" I call it as I see it. I think there's a few things we've gone away from, particularly from 2012/13, like strong bodied midfielders and speed of ball movement at times. Jim is right we had a charmed run with injury last year, and the opposite this year, and we were blessed in 12/13 with great depth that was always going to be hard to sustain. If everything went right from here we would still be some sort of threat, but to be honest we'd still need to find a better level of footy at the business end. I think it can't be underestimated either the changes and improvements in our opposition. Think there will need to be some changes in list and style next season so will be interesting to watch, but this season isn't over yet. Hopefully the boys can save their best for the last part of the season and challenge. Don't like the chances of it kicking off with a win this weekend though.

Piss it in.

Watch out for the crows.
Best exhibition on skill footy I have seen this year a fortnight ago.

They would want to considering the leg up they get

Christ its always doom and gloom amongst norwood supporters isnt it? Which teamshave been consistent apart from the eagles? Westies znd port power reserves have been up and down. Only norwood supporters could be so pessimistic when their side is sitting secondon the ladder. I can't think of onegood reason not to be confident this weekend.

because Norwood's form of late has been bloody awful & The Crows have had two big wins on the trot?

Hate these matches

Im always torn between my love and Loyalty to the crows and my love for Norwood. Being only 8 when the Crows came in I have grown up with them going every week. I only spent the years from 5-8 going to Norwood matches with Dad. Once the crows entered we switched to going to crows matches and it wasnt until I was older enough to go by myself to Norwood games that I started to go again.

Im so torn

Always go Norwood mate. Im in exactly the same boat (but Eagles rather than Norwood) and in these games im an Eagles supporter.. But I do watch with interest how the Crows kids are developing

Great post, well expressed and honest, but go with Norwood. Plenty of opportunities to support, see and hear about the Crows in this town.

From a personal perspective, good to know that the brainwashing your Dad did during those 5-8 years has seen the support for the SANFL through. Exactly what Im doing to mine, poor little buggers have no choice.

I briefly considered supporting the Crows when they came in but as soon as he was named coach and brought in all his Bay mates that was it for me
