2013 SANFL GRAND FINAL Norwood v Nth Adelaide

[o five]

North would be lucky to win this one. Just ask Basset the arrogant prick.
Go North.

[Damo 497]

Even was some West supporters at the game today wanting North to win, at least it will be a spectacle with some atmosphere.

I certainly wasn't going to go if it was Nwd v WA

I would have...

Like Mike Nunan wasn't arrogant when he had North up and about in the 80's ?
Bass is very confident in his own ability and the abilities of his players. No one is taking this game for granted as North have some very very dangerous forwards. I believe Norwood will win by keeping pressure on the ball carrier restricting the opportunities of these top line forwards...... mind you our defence is the best in the comp !

Norwood to piss it in i think.

I don`t recall Nunan ever publicly saying the opposition were lucky to win a game after a loss.

Im a pretty nervous/pessimistic supporter at the best of times, but the Roosters do seriously worry me. They have a list that oozes talent and play a brand of football that is the most devastating in the comp when they get it right. Ordinarily I would think we would take some advantage from the rest we've had whilst North played their 3rd final on the trot in 27 degree's effectively minus 2 players. Yet they showed no signs whatsoever of slowing down yesterday which kinda roots that theory up. Very nervous here, wont be much work getting done this week. Hopefully the boys can play to the best of their ability on Sunday, because they'll need to.

No, it's because Booney's dribbling BS because he's not over the fact I won the ride-on Esky at the pub

[BrekkyDJ]

All this visiting Victorian needs to find is a good pub for pre-game drinks and a great* pub for post-match drinks.






*Note: Great pub means the possibility of picking up

Too ******* right!! One pint.....one ******* pint!!!

Downed about 40 of those tasty lovelies trying to win that thing. Well, winning that would have just been a bonus, really.

LOL. Every right to be arrogant as a supporter. Been the best team over the minor season easily.

North have to improve with their skills to be a chance on Sunday. Can't fault their endeavor.

can someone tell me the last time North played Norwood in a GF? (lest I get it wrong...)

1960
NA 14-11
NW 13-12

There was an opinion going around that NW were deprived of a free kick late in the game, that could have turned the game
This has been refuted by other opinions
There is a 1960s thread in the History room detailing that game

Yes, in either Red and Blue Blooded or Men of Norwood Alan Killagrew is quoted as saying that Bill Wedding was held without the ball 30 yards from goal with less than a minute to play. I was at the game, I don't remember the incident but I do have a copy of the audio of the last quarter (I need to get a life) and after Norwood kick the last goal of the game to get within 5 points the last 5 minutes of the game are played completely in North's forward lines. Haydn Bunton was clearing from deep in defence as the siren rang, so either Wedding was held 150 metres off the ball, and remember there was only one umpire then or Killa's memory failed him.

It's not the first time a losing side has tried to rewrite history with respect to a Grand Final.
