Certainly one of the more bizarre games Ive seen.
The game was virtually over at quarter time when Norwood were 8.0 to South 4 points. South just sat back and watched like witches hats and failed to contest at all in the first quarter. After quarter time i thought South were the better side . They were in control for large periods of the last 3 quarters but really failed to take advantage on the scoreboard. Eddy was active but failed to hit the scoreboard, he took a few marks but dropped plenty too, you do that when you try to mark with one hand. :roll:

I really enjoyed watching the stream of this game on YouTube last night even though the game was effectively over at quarter time.

Even though the game itself wasn't match of the century, seeing SANFL live on YouTube is awesome.

Crowd figure? Looked like about 2K on the live stream.

They mentioned the crowd size in the last quarter of the live stream. It was somewhere around 2,400

Eddy is a bloody good player and he'd be more than welcome at the Legs, but he had a stinker on Friday night. To be fair the delivery to all forwards was woeful, yet there were a number of times he'd go for a chest mark instead of sticking his hands out, which allowed the spoil to be made.

The difference for me, was a couple of hardened and experienced campaigners in Bode and Jeffries. These guys know how to react under pressure (like when South were pressing hard in the last half). If South can get a bit more experience into their key defenders, they'll learn how to withstand an attacking onslaught, like Norwood's first quarter. I don't think South are that far off being a contender.

Wilsons pace has become a little bit of a get out of jail card for us, it amazes me how he spends half the game on the pine.

My reference to Eddy flying for marks onehanded ,was a thinly veiled reference to the fact that McGuiness on most occasions had a hold of the other one.
Eddy seemed to get his few marks and kicks far to far up the ground. I thought the umpiring was absolutely appalling, as did the commentators on radio. The Norwood crowd certainly rode the little green men to great effect.
