Not just more scoring shots. More kicks, handballs, marks, tackles, hitouts, clearances, and inside 50s. But not more goals. Ouch.
I was there and give norwood their credit . They out played the Eagles all night . It appears Norwoods game plan calls for a large amount of ball handling . By this I mean kick the ball from one side of the oval to the other and then run !! This gives Norwood first and more use of the ball ,
Norwood held the Eagles much praised "tall" forwards by flooding quickly back .
I think I noticed Luke Normans influence in the Eagles coaching box those close in and hold up the Norwoods on ballers .
End of the day they norwood stuffed their own chances up in front of goal by not kicking straight .
The likes of Macgregor and Goldsworthy and co showed them how to make use of the ball in front of goal
