I’m the opposite after seeing North again today. We had one of our worst games of the season and still got the job done. I’d much rather play the Eagles in the GF especially with their record on the big day

I’d normally agree but they’ve missed a few blatant ones to the Eagles too & that kicking in danger you got at half forward a few mins ago was downright pathetic. Norwood playing a tad arrogantly IMO.

Jim05 has always posted one eyed. Just to profile him I would say he's one of those supporters that just goes to every match to watch the umpires. Every club has them.
Never mentions Norwood with player(hidden) payments. Oh that's right , playing for love ofthe club.

Couldn’t care less about any clubs player payments TBH. Good luck if you can get away with it.
And the umpires were disgusting again today. Junk time evener uppers doesn’t show how one sided it was. The Eagles are the most protected side in the comp

Norwood look far from invincible on that performance BUT they did get the job done and will take on a team with 3 energy sapping finals in a row which sometimes can be too much. Rather be in their shoes than anyone though. Personally would like to see North get through, will make for a more open game.
On a side note - galls me to see a certain building company prominently displayed as a sponsor on the Norwood coaches jacket.

Glad we got through, don’t like our chances against either remaining side unless we can play better than that. Thank God for Willo, we had no reliable avenue to goal all game. Felt like Eagles defence was on top, they were better in the air and I thought they beat us in Ruck and the middle. Not often you win in that situation.

North were fantastic today. Sturt were too slow by comparison, dropped too many possessions and were poorer around stoppages.
There was a heap of Red and White in the crowd again, they made more noise than those of us wearing Blue also. Perhaps because they were leading all day, but I reckon there might have been more of them than us! I am not used to saying that.
Back to the footy, and I reckon we actually played better today than we did against the Eagles, but North seemed to have us all worked out. It seemed whatever we tried to stifle them or outclass them just did not work. Impressive stuff.
I imagine a Norwood v North Grand Final at Adelaide Oval would go close to being filled, and I was looking forward to Sturt being part of that equation somehow. In today's era of footy, there has to be an extra honour to participate in a sold out SANFL Grand Final.
Thanks Osborne for the two flags, congratulations on a great career.Another irreplaceable player. Best of luck for the future.

TRB, that would have to be our two worst games I've seen in a decade or two. We played like Sturt of the mid 90's. No game plan, no forwards and no skills. We played injured players and that didn't assist but it's not to say that was the difference. We were outplayed by a faster more keen, structured and switched on unit in North.

What struck me the most was our skills. We were just plain terrible. We turned it over several times which cost us goals. Not that it singularly would've been an issue, however North's implied pressure made it even worse.

North were super impressive. They would have beaten anyone today. Their pace was amazing and made Sturt look incredibly slow today which isn’t easily done. Didn’t help that Sturt rolled the dice with a couple of players.
I’m glad we got through today, would have hated facing North next week

Thought you couldn't fault the Eagles' effort today but Norwood had a bit more class and composure when it counted. We lack a marquee player who can turn the game like Grigg. Thought Firns played his best game for the club today. Gilhaus also put in a fine effort today and more than adequately replaced Borholm. Gray out and Johansen in next week. North a tough challenge next week. Will need to shut their run down.

Hmm, not sure about your second sentence Jim. We had little intensity around the ball so it made them look pretty good. I heard that Riley (obviously), Battersby, Stevens and Harms weren't right. That's not to say North didn't go into in the same state but if they did they handled it much better than we did. Taking injured players in is risky and in our situation worthwhile but backfired.

Battersby and Reilly are vital for Sturt... hard ball winners. Sturt needed them at 100% to win. Damned if they played them unfit...damned if they didn't play them.
North would be happy to play the Eagles next week. They had some ladd I know little about who really stepped up and Tropiano is the recruit of the year.
Norwood played poorly and won... clearly Nwds flag to lose.

There was plenty in the 2SF to give whichever team makes it, hope that Norwood can be knocked off. Should be a good GF.

That was Norwood's lowest score for the year since they lost a grind-fest to Sturt in round 1. Even in their 3 losses since then, they've kicked a bigger score. Plus a team that was bringing up the ton regularly through most of the year, hasn't kicked over 100 points since July.

I thought Norwood played well for the 2nd half, but without Surman (and, ahem, Glenn) they just lacked a reliable avenue to goal and so had to rely on A Wilson magic plus the mandatory at-least-a-goal-a-game they've extracted from Panos and Grigg all year (both coming at critical stages of the 3rd quarter) to get over the line. A huge proportion of their goals were on the run, not from set shots.

Norwood's midfield (at least the first tier of it) is a cut above, plus McKenzie is in stunning form down back and has a more than useful supporting cast in Georgiou, Bode, Fuller & Talia—but it's an intriguing GF when the highest scoring team of the year, looks most vulnerable in kicking a winning score.

Why are most posters saying that Norwood played played badly, give some credit to the Eagles. The Eagles didn't allow Norwood to play their normal free flowing attacking football. Hard contested defensive football can also be a part of a teams armoury.

Eagles probably would've got more credit if they won. ;)

From what I saw, yeah, the Eagles played with a good plan that somewhat frustrated Norwood, combined with, as Spargo said during the game, Norwood playing a little bit arrogantly.

If Norwood want to get their hands properly dirty in the GF, can't see either North or Eagles getting close, former will be an 18 to 11 goal game, latter 14 to 7.

Obviously not adequately replacing Beard was a big whole in the Sturt line-up, but I reckon the loss of McMahon has been underestimated.

Yes, could have done with an extra defender, but Fraser Evans usually goes some way to helping out back there.
