Expect the premiership favourites to respond here

Not for me.

Norwood by 10 goals. Best sustained form I have seen for a loong time.

The inclement weather forecast might bring the sides closer on the scoreboard, but I think Norwood will be in front at the end nevertheless. Good to see Jordan Sweet get a gig finally, hope he makes a good impression.

No bad weather appearing just yet on the radar

Legs by 31pts.

Looking at the radar the rain is going to hit the minute the game starts.
Thank you SANFL for the digital pass and encouraging me to stay at the pub and not go to the game!

Good win by the Legs magoos

Sweet geezus, have they got the commentators from Bedford Industries or something?
I can't handle listening to this shit.

I've had to turn it off, just leaving the screen on in the background.
The SANFL really do need to look at this and why do these people that are so bad put their hands up? They actually bring the game backwards they're that bad.

1/4 time

Norwood 2.5

North 1.4

Scores are level but I don't think I can watch anymore of this, the skills are awful.

Norf home

Don't think so

Norwood have won by 15 points; 11.13 79 to North 9.10 64.

Stats don’t always tell the tale but appears LJ had another cracker.

Norf tanking again

Were NA unlucky 2 games in a row with the wind factor ?
Last week enough people assured me that the breeze turned around during the 2Q against GL
Last night, a breeze sprung up at the start of the 2Q to the end NW were going to, the breeze lasted about 10 minutes

Also the rain might have been a factor
NA were 3 goals up in the 3Q, then it rained
From that point NW dominated the rest of the match
NW are known to have great finishes this season, that was prob a BIGger factor

The wind certainly changed and blew for about 10 minutes but didn't seem to have much impact on the match.

The rain should have helped North. Up until half way through the third quarter North's pressure on Norwood was brilliant but from that time onwards the pressure was non existent. The only excuse I could come up with was North losing Ryswyk at half time which meant that North were one interchange down and lost a lot of pace. Of course Max Thring being out probably impacted as well.

To be honest I think that Norwood just had that little bit more class which came to the fore when the game had to be won.

Jordon Sweet, despite one monumental blunder, showed a lot of potential. Why wasn't he played earlier in the year?
