Re: India v Australia ODI Series

Like something from a 12th Man album, Brad Haddin has left the field after being poked in both eyes in post-wicket celebrations by Faulkner attempting a high 10 :shock: :oops:

Re: Pro Wrestling Talk

Huge news! Even though this match has been talked about for years, every time I hear the possability of this match at a Wrestlemania I get tingles down my spine.

Re: Hogg Shield Grand Final Thread 2014

Finished up with 2280 after 2 donuts, a pathetic 21 from Shenton and 26 from Fantasia on the forward bench.
Enough for a comfortable win over Has Been who suffered with the late outs of Murphy and Franklin.
Getting the captain right with Selwood sealed the deal.

Congratulations to our new Premier League premier! Well played interceptor
Thanks Hondo, good to get home in the end.
Had a strong start to the season, but mid-season onwards was tougher and I used up my last trade to replace Beams last week.
In the end I was slightly less affected by the carnage that ensued, but in any case I'd say StevieJ is on my 'never again' list!

Could be about right.
Based on some very brief SA vs Vic footage that surfaced last year, I thought he might have been a similar type of player to Allen Jakovich.

Re: 1964 - 1990

Which opens up the discussion, even though Norwood won in 82 and 84 I thought they underachieved in the late 80s, early 90s with the talent they had.

So did, but the more Ive reflected over the years Im not so sure. I really felt we were probably the 2nd best side of 87', but as you'd know that North side was pretty special and highly motivated. 1990 is one I reckon we were possibly good enough, 89' too but no others. When you look at our 84' side perhaps we over achieved??
Feel like we should have made a least one more GF after 1984.
Looking at the finals results of the Balme era:

1980-1984 13 wins 4 losses @ 86% (including 3 GF appearances)
1985-1990 4 wins 9 losses @ 30% (including 3 PF appearances in a row 87-89)

Probably a combination of reasons and circumstances for the failings in the mid to late 80s, including losing some pretty handy players like Tim McNeill and Richard Anderson. We seemed to lack potency up forward that other clubs had as Neville Roberts finished his career.

Re: 1964 - 1990


I think we did gel in 1990 around the middle part of the season winning something like 8 on the bounce, including wins over Glenelg and Port Adelaide footy Park and North at Prospect. Then Weeding went down and some lingering off-field issues came to the fore again. My belief has always been that those sides you mentioned had our measure simply because we weren’t as physically hard as them. John Cahill used to say the more a side handled the ball, the less their style stood up in the presssure of finals (not verbatim by you get the drift). I used to think he was fairly and squarely thinking of Norwood when he said that. We tried to play attractive footy as opposed to effective footy and those 3 sides simply found us out. One of our biggest problems was that all of the heavy lifting in the “mongrel” department was left to Macca and not spread enough across the entire playing group.
That's pretty much right about 1990.
Slowish start, pretty good in the middle, but then the wheels really fell off at the end with thrashings from North and Port in the last 2 rounds before an inglorious exit at the hands of South who had a 9-11 minor round record :roll:

We certainly were bit of a "handball happy" side, which led to over possession.
Perhaps lacking in a bit of toughness sometimes.
1988 sticks out badly where after a good Qualifying win over Centrals we lost Macca (knee) and Kelly (suspension) and then had a disasterous match against Port, although the match against Glenelg ended up being a much closer affair.

Re: 1964 - 1990

4/51984
Football Park

PA 2-4....10-7...15-13...20-14[134]
NW 5-2...7-3...10-5.......14-7 [91]

I was at this historical match, I was one of the recorded crowd of 19512 who attended
It was on a friday night ,and it was the first match under lights at this venue
I was reasonably happy at quarter time
NW slumped to 2-4 at this stage and in danger of missing finals , but ended up the 1984 Premiers

Probably the only satisfying thing about this match for me as a Norwood supporter is the part when Dwayne Russell gets belted.
Peter Marker's commentary was gold:

Peter Marker: "Dwayne Russell is DOWN!"
"Oh Tom Warhurst came in and went BANG!"
...
"Dwayne Russell is holding his face."
"I'll tell you what that is as good a smash as you've even seen!"

See here on the 1984 The Way it Was video:

Sturt also kicked a horrendous 5.23 the following week in the 1st Semi.

Edit: I'll add South Australia kicking 30.39 against Qld in 1980.
