Rd 21 2007 North v Glenelg @ Prospect

[sturt1]

norwood are ready to pounce, I think the bays will know after this game if they will play finals this season.

[am Bays]

I have no confidence this week whatsoever and I would rather get missing the double chance over and done with this week rather than leave it to round 23 - just like in seasons 2004 and 2005. Personally speaking if we lose this week I hope we actually slide out of the 5 rather than just make up the numbers for the sake of it but the good lord will punish us North people and make us play another Elimination Final with the stench of failure hovering over like an atomic cloud about to choke us along with the skeltons of another failed season rattling away in the change room lockers. In summary - I'm not worried or depressed to be honest - mediocrity is accepted too often in some circles at Prospect so you get used to it - now what's that old chestnut - you reap what......

MAte, 10 days ago you knocked off the best team in the comp, from what i've read on this site you've outplayed teh reigning premiers for 3/4 of the match....Glenelg, if we are going to win, are going to haveto play bloody good footy against a damn good team in north Adelaide.

If I was a North supporter I wouldn't be throwing the baby out with the bath water....

Are you for real???

North have beaten Central and just dipped out to last years Premiers... I'd say it's supporters talking crap like that which leads to a negative feeling around the club.

You'll beat the Bays by 4 goals.

Reverse Psychology. Ol' Raspberry wants the Bays to think that this one is already in the bag.

[Dutchy]

at $1.45 North are HOT favourites.....

No guarantees CC. Let's see what supporters of other clubs say about North being underachievers, pretenders blah blah if we lose this week. We are one week from seeing our season really slip. You have temper optimism with reality and don't forget it is many of you who tell us that North are inconsistent and choke in the games that matter and recent history supports that. If we do lose and miss the double chance I bet you agree with my thoughts then?

dont forget we have sturt at home next week mate so a loss this week wouldnt be the end of the world for us - probably only give the legs some false hope if anything

Very subtle, stampy. I love your work.

It depends on which team North put out. The one that wants it or the one that doesn't. IMO, it will be the one that wants it, but even that will depend on how settled the team is.

Persoanlly I would like to see Wundke and Kaesler back in, and with Howard coming back, it will be interesting to see where Ladhams plays this week. With a good playing surface forecasted, I would prefer to see both Ryswyck and Bamford out on the flanks, with maybe Lonie who, by all accounts, had a pretty decent game, at CHF and Lads up front. My only concern with this is the lack of talls up front which means, if available, Perrie would probalbly get a call

I hope North can get their fast running game going early and with Howard and Allan in the side, we have abit more steel around the rucks.

July 2 1977, was at that match Wedgie as a 14yo. Late in the game R. Diorio was given a free 25m out straight in front. A goal resulted cutting the Bay lead to around 25 goals or so. I, being a proud Rooster fan, dutifully acknowledged the goal with voice and applause only to be belted on the head from behind with an umbrella by a feral bay "lady" informing me & I quote "Bloody cheatin' umpires, you should never have got that free kick. Bloody cheatin' umpires". Um take a look @ the scoreboard "Lady" I don't think your going to lose this one I replied. Have I mentioned how much I really hate the Bays here. I know I have on the ROOST!
GO ROOSTERS

Dave, you're not a footy supporter I reckon until you've been hit over the head by a "little 'ol lady"

My "lady" experienced happened in front of teh bowling club at Alberton, I use the term "lady" loosely.....

I really hate the Bays here. I know I have on the ROOST!

my hatred for the Bays is un-rivalled, good to know there ar eother North supporters who feel the same...

Mine was in the members stand at Football Park. "She" was a Port supporter, natch. And she was by no means "little"

Here's hoping we can add another chapter to your hatred this week....a dodgy free kick (Duldig "falls" forward in the goalsquare as a result of a "push in the back") late into time on in the 4th qtr with the Bays 5 pts behind. After the siren the goal upire shows "how big it is...."

Punky last seen heading down Anzac hwy in a petrol tanker with a box of matches in his top pocket.....

Duldig would hit the post from there wouldn't he? Roosters win Legs take 5th spot. Now that's a finish.

correct, Duldig would need to kick it from on the boundary line next to the point post!!!!

[mighty_tiger_79]

JTC

the same can be said for us, it all depends on what team rocks up depends on the result.

if we rock up with the same intensity we did against North on the public holiday and similar to the port game then we will absolutey smash North to smitherines..................

but on the other hand if the team that rocked up for 4 weeks that played against south and west then we will get blown out of the water and could possibly miss out on the finals after a morale crushing loss.

im thinking that we will win by around 5 goals in hopefully another shootout

[Stevie_K]

This game is going to be a good indicator of how bad our players want it.

if they want it as bad as we do then the result is in the bag!!!
