Rnd 10 - Sturt v Norwood - Post Game

[RB]

And people thought norwood were finished hahah

No-one from outside Norwood thought they were finished. The only negativity re Norwood came from their own supporters.

What crap! Fans of all different clubs have been taking great delight in norwood's perceived decline.

Name names then if it's crap. No-one on here was calling their season.

I was one of those who thought we just weren't going to be strong enough to challenge for the flag this year, to be honest Im still not confident we will, although we're getting some depth and belief back now and Im confident we are capable of challenging every opponent on a weekly basis. I wasn't there yesterday, but Sturt are obviously a very good side these days so that's a big result for us. The last month has been pretty good, wins over Adelaide, West, Sturt and a 3 point loss to the Eagles. Hopefully we can consolidate from here.

I'm not sure they will be good enough either but they are obviously playing alot better than the star of the season. I just think fans need to stop over reacting to what happens in the first 5 or 6 weeks of the season. It was always going to take them some time to find their feet given the turnover of players. Now they are starting to gel and playing some pretty good football.

Yeah that's fair enough. I also don't think there's anything wrong with supporters losing faith or confidence in their club's chances. If they start bagging their club then that's a different matter.

Good win by the Legs and I picked it but I wouldn't go polishing the cup yet. At the end of the weekend all you managed to do was drop out of the five.

I polish the cup every day!

Another great turn out at Unley. I remember that the Sturt v Adelaide game in round 2 got a crowd of 3,505, and that was bigger than any crowd at Unley last season, so this one has to be bigger than any crowd in at least a couple of years! Good to see Sturt in the mix again.

While it was a sound turn out, I would have hoped for 4,500 considering the eastern suburbs derby and pretty good weather

[Baldy]

Crowd 3,829

And not an AFL club in sight.

But Sturt aren't Eastern, I thought?

Not a bad crowd with very average weather .

It is, so is Prospect and Elizabeth is in the far East although its looked more like the Middle East when I've been there some times.
Elizabeth is further East than Norwood!

I look forward to the South V Port Western Derby too!
Next Northern Derby between the Eagles and Norwood should be a ripper also!

[matt35]

Agree with bounce of the ball. Weather certainly was not great, that is unless either I imagined getting wet at the bay, or it was much better in the eastern (or is it?) suburbs. Really good to see good numbers turning up at Unley!

Why do they call the cricket club East Torrens ?
The baseball club East Torrens ?
The lacrose club East Torrens ?
All these clubs are in the Norwood area.

As for a threat you only have to make the finals to be a threat as North showed last year, a few straight kicks away from a flag.
