Yep good assessment mate
Yes, was a good contest, with the better skilled and better resourced team getting the points. Baulderstone gave the 'Legs' small men first opportunity (a bit too easily for my liking) in the last when the game was three to be won, and North could've done with some of the tall timber that Norwood had as a backup ruckman for James Craig or as a marking target up forward.
Thought North had control in the first half of the third quarter but couldn't take proper advantage on the scoreboard. Like most good sides, Norwood soaked up the pressure and slowly pegged the margin and hit the front by lemon time. On about three occasions Norwood literally waltzed out of the square with the footy and goaled. North kept at it but coudn't bridge the one goal gap. Also Norwood missed a few gettable shots in the last as well which made the 16 point margin a bit kind to the Chooks.
Another good time was had in the Prospect RSL at half time, cheap Coopers and I won $20 in the lucky square raffle! Thanks to the guys at the RSL, would've put it back across the bar if I wasn't driving.
