There we have are first arrogant quote for the week. Didn't take long.
Was going to pull you up over this on the game day thread. The last 2 weeks North have kicked into the wind and have been behind after qtr time, but right in it at half time. Don't think North have played that poorly. North's ability to get quick goals has helped. Something that West couldn't do.
Looking forward to a battle between 2 different game plans. Hopefully both sides can kick more than 10 goals.
Norwood go in as massive favourites, and rightly so as they have been the best team by far all year, but I genuinely believe North are the only side in the comp that can push them. Norwood go in cherry ripe with hardly any injury concerns, where as North have lost Max Thring (has that match winning talent) and maybe it's key in and under man Shannon.
Have a lot of respect for Norwood and it's fans, and am looking forward too next week, win or lose. Going to be a long week.
Not arrogant.
I was sitting amongst North fans last week and most of them were commenting on how bad North were in the first half. I thought you were very poor last week in the first half and didnt think this week was much better to start with. Thought you took awhile to get going today and shake off West

Amazing how little these two sides have played in finals (and obviously never in a GF) since 1960, given that both of them were up and about at various stages in the 1960s, and both of them were dominant at various stages in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. The periods of dominance just never seemed to coincide much. The see-saw has been even more pronounced in the new millennium, with one of North or Norwood featuring in the finals every year bar 2003— but 2012 was the first year that both of them made it.Wedgie wrote:Punk Rooster wrote:can someone tell me the last time North played Norwood in a GF?

1960 North 14.11 Norwood 13.12

North can dish up anything and their best is brilliant and they can score goals very quickly. We will have to be at our best to win and also kick a high enough score ourselves, something that has not been needed against West.

1960
NA 14-11
NW 13-12
There was an opinion going around that NW were deprived of a free kick late in the game, that could have turned the game
This has been refuted by other opinions
There is a 1960s thread in the History room detailing that game
You were there MAL, surely you saw the incident

Weather forecast looks currently not too bad (after some mid-week dodginess). Hope it holds (both for the sake of good-quality footy, and for the size of the crowd).GrandOldFlag wrote:This is the GF the SANFL needed. Two traditional clubs with big supporter bases.

Best for Norwood was follower Bert Schumacher
I recently met one of Berts offspring
He said it was tough for Bert having a German surname after WWI, and Bert would cop abuse
This 1923 Grand Final I believe is the only time Norwood has beaten North Adelaide in a Grand Final
Norwood won back to back flags after defeating WA in 1922 [NW 9-7, WA 2-16]
1923 is the last time Norwood have won back to back flags
Just 4 the record , I did not attend both games
Up until the 1995 First Semi Final we had a pretty impressive record of wins in finals against Norwood. Went back to sometime in the 30's from memory.

A Sturt mate of mine is going to tie Des Foster down on the half-forward line before doing this one himself. All part of his therapy.dedja wrote:I so want to be the bloke to do this to Footy Park ...
