Rnd 22 - Central v Norwood @ Elizabeth POST GAME DISCUSSION

[Pseudo]

Barmby BOG for mine,

That's what the Life FM crew said; Barmby's best game for Dogs, apparently.

[The Apostle]

Well done Doggies!!!

Skills were deplorable, too many dropped marks and fumbles.

I know this is stating the obvious but the key to beating Norwood is making sure they don't get a loose ball, and if they do, put heaps of pressure on the ball carrier...Norwood will cough it up 9 of 10 times. They crack under pressure. I saw a number of times today where Norwood would get a loose ball near or in a pack and be tackled and then handball to another teammate under pressure who would get tackled and then he would cough it up.

Another thing they do is kick 50 metres sideways...very Glenelg like are Norwood.

So very, very, very disappointed. Was so looking forward to today.

Slow, weak, second to the ball, poor skills.

Central gave us a bath today, a real football lesson. I'm not sure we've got what it takes to beat them BUT if that doesn't serve as a wake-up call, then I don't know what will.

The point people forget is the new guys coming in have a point to prove and feel its their last chance to nab a spot in the finals squad. Some of the energy and enthusiasm shown by the inexperienced guys was unreal. Last chance to impress Roy

Totally agree, dont mind losing but at least have a crack.
Piss weak effort

[udogs01]

Disappointing to say the least but hopefully that's the shocker we needed to have before we go into September. Apart from the first we didn't give a yelp and Centrals should be proud of their performance given the injury list they've got.

Hopefully Centrals people will now pop in the cue rack the old cliche about Norwood fans not traveling, on the outer it was nearly all red and blue.

Sutherland is a gigantic numpty, the whole tough guy routine he pulls is truly hilarious.

See you in the finals.

We might not. Play like we did today in the finals and we will be out in straight sets.
Eagles would flog us on todays effort

Lot of white with that red and blue

[The Apostle]

And good to see the Norwood players getting the send-off they deserved!!!

Well coached today, Roy. And thanks for taking the time to post here

Should've been from their own supporters.

Yep that's what I was saying. Lose, fine, but have a go!! After quarter time there was zero spark, no passion, no creativity, it was just a horrid performance. In hindsight I shouldn't have been surprised given our form lately, but geez it was disappointing.

Well done 'Dogs, you guys ROCK! Some think Pharlap had a huge ticker! What about Those MIGHTY, MIGHTY BULLDOGS!! Anyway, enough of that, We have ANOTHER 2nd Semi Final to plan for!! 12 IN A ROW? INCREDIBLE STUFF!! That Minor Premiership will pay for Our new light globes!!

[smac]

Best day time crowd in years at Elizabeth. Well done both clubs, makes for a great day out.

[locky801]

Do we call off the major round now

His routine mirrors yours with the crowd comment. One supporter made mention of it, yet you held onto it for this review. Go away.

Not a good look come September.

Enormous effort by the Pups! As someone on the terraces yelled out, "we beat 'em with a team of dwarfs".

Pumpa may not be a tough man but he was by far the most influential ruckman on the ground today imo and his improvemnet in the last 12 mths is admirable.

I lost good money backing Norwood today in a match I couldnt see us winning. I should have known better though- I guess I'm a slow learner.

Some discussion earlier in the week defining depth. What we saw today was the depth of character within the playing group.

Of course just to keep us honest - our makeshift FF & CHF in Hynes & Goodrem both injured

I reckon we stack the 2's next week & forfeit the League game

[CENTURION]

I said 12 monts ago that Hynes has a huge future with Us, fantastic mark, excellent kick, very strong too.

[leggies]

Centrals... Too good, we were p1ss weak in that second half.
