I'd be hoping the South players aren't sitting back thinking "woe is me, the ONLY reason we only lost is because the opposition are full-time professionals". Didn't seem to impact Norwood too much last week.



It was that effort that cost them the game....a group of part time professional footballers were beating a bunch of pampered professionals being paid 10 times as much to play the same game :shock:

Like I said, it didn't seem to impact Norwood the previous week. Or Glenelg, Centrals, South, North and West in the 10 or so weeks prior to that.

Don't include the Glenelg game in that.
Port clearly (as I predicted - $8.50) tanked that game, so no injuries occurred & their AFL list was as full strength as it could be.

@Rising Power

Why actually look at where you went wrong and where you might actually improve? Nah, far easier to whinge and sook!

Fortunately for South, unlike some of their supporters, their coach is certainly not looking for any excuses, and South will be all the better for that. They made real progress this year, and given that they should be able to keep the vast majority of their squad together, should certainly see September action again in 2015.
No Surrender!

Exactly - recruit eighteen professionals.

Don't really see what the issue is here; the South coaching staff will be looking at their team. The supporters are entitled to point to the inequities of the comp.

We were beaten not the Port Magpies as we once knew them, we played Port Adelaide FC now the Power an AFL club, they must mothball their old striped jumper and wear the teal, this misrepresentation of the truth is fooling no one except maybe themselves. They boost loudly they are one club, one club doesn't have two different colours, known by two different names, wear different jumper designs, have two different club songs, two different club logo's.





Your spot on darley, your team can hold their heads up with pride, although the 3rd qtr cost them the game, to go down to a team that boasted 19 AFL listed players is nothing to be ashamed of, that young side will benefit & learn alot from that which should hold them in good stead for years to come.

So proud of Gotchy and the boys. Perceived pressure or real pressure, we just weren't clean enough with our hands when it mattered. Congratulations to Norwood and Port for getting through, GOOD LUCK NORWOOD.
