[heater31]

Pup injured his back in the warm up.

Thanks Columbo
Does Woods get double pay for two games

Probably just a $75 bonus....

Eagles by 10 goals plus [emoji20]

Unfortunately spot on the money.
Have put a line through us for the year now, we are done and dusted. Eagles would of scored 7-8 goals from the goal square today, totally inept performance.
Perfect day for footy and the atmosphere was non existent

Not sure what's happened to Norwood. On paper the squad looks ok. The reserves hammered yesterday. They were unbeaten a few weeks ago.

By the last term I could see things Norwood were setting in place around packs just wasn't working or worth trying .
Norwood seconds had issues holding the ball so many times they dropped it in marks alone or receives from hand balls .

Handballs the umpires weren't picking up the throws both sides

That's about all we won for the day!
Easily outnumbered the Eagles supporters even with the garbage we dish up

Are you sure about that? All I could see was green and gold and blue everywhere.

Blue in one eye and red in the other makes it hard to see any other colours

Haven't seen Norwood so poor for a long time. Thought we should have won by more. Gaffney continues to impress, we are seeing the best of Boyd in his 3 years at the club, Borholm played one of his best games of the year and Goldy is back to his damaging best. Thought Jarrad made too many errors but was generally effective and Ainger's form still has not peaked. The Co -captains were terrific in defence.
Not sure about there being more Norwood supporters, there looked to be plenty of Eagles supporters to me.

Yep the poorest turnout i have seen from a norwood crowd..there was a few on the grandstand side just around from the wing where they usually congregate but was small number compared to previous years

If by "around packs" you mean winning the contested footy at ball ups etc, Norwood comfortably beat the Eagles in the clearances 40-28. (Without 2 of our best 3 inside players, Panos and Cachia, playing.)

What was wrong with Norwood's game could be briefly summarised as 'everything except winning clearances'.

A stunning stat for a team whose game-plan is to chip the ball short for uncontested marks and retain possession, is that the Eagles took more than twice as many marks (134-61) as Norwood. Bet that's the first time that has happened to the Legs since Bass took over in 2010. In fact, 134 marks is the most taken by any team in the SANFL this year—with the Eagles also holding the silver medal position from when they took 132 marks in R5 while smashing West. A double whammy from Norwood's perspective of not hitting team-mates on the chest when we had the footy, and also failing to man up and pressure opponents when the Eags had it.

I didn't see the stats I just saw things going on
Norwood had issues in both seconds and perhaps league for marking uncontested balls .
Which allowed the Eagles to come in get the ball and eventually go forward and goal

[inside word]

Very Impressive performance by our lads. Playing good footy at the moment, Still have the concern in a grand final (if we make it that far) that we have a few players that can vanish once their is some pressure.... All good sign so far though.

Sounds like a real mess.

^^^^^ This.

Been looking over his shoulder since Jarrod Cotton's arrival it seems.

Finally, and for the sake of our short term future, I hope you're right because we're on a long road to nowhere at the moment.

At least we aren't at the Sturt level of shitness. That would take a decade at least LOL.
