Norwood 84’ was the only time mate, Port came from the Elim also in 98’ but finished minor round 4th

Not taking anything away from the great Norwood effort in 1984, but they were helped greatly by Alan Stringer and lack of discipline by our boys.
Stringer went the biff in the Qualifying Final between Glenelg and Central when Centrals led by 30 points. Our boys 'lost it' and we ended up having our whole halfback line rubbed out for the First Semi against Norwood (Jamie Thomas, Brett Hannam and STephen Nolan). We still only lost to Norwood by a few points, being less than a kick down in time-on of the last quarter.. Glenelg also lost Peter Carey for their Prelim Final against Norwood.
Cheers

Remembering back I think it was your boy's that we were worried about he most.

Central led Norwood by 19 points at three quarter time in that first semi final before Norwood over ran Central late in the game to win by 13 points.

A quirky aside from Norwood's finals campaign is that in each of the last 3 finals Norwood's opponents had more scoring shots than Norwood.

!st Semi Norwood 16 goals 9 Behinds defeated Central 13-14
Prelim Norwood 16-11 Glenelg 11-23
Grand Final Norwood 15-10 Port 13-13

I guess that shows the value of straight kicking!

Am attending for the 1st time since the AFL Reserves.
Looking forward to it - 1st one where my son can join me in the drinking!
Good Luck to both sets of supporters - Enjoy the Day.

anyway back to this weeks game

Us by 78

Spina out for North already but the big one is Thring, he's North's heart and soul.
I suspect he will play but he will be on one leg, the fact he missed the last 3 minor rounds with a calf and it was on Ice and he could hardly move late in the game suggests to me he won't be fit even if he does play. The only positive is 3 forwards have stepped up for North so far in the finals and Barns hasn't be one of those, if he has a day out anything could happen. If he, Ramsay, Hender and Harvey all fired them look out!
BUT the head says Norwood by about 6 or 7 goals for me, Grigg or Panos for the Jack Oatey.
Similar to 2013 we've already played our GF 3 times over.

I reckon Norwood will do the double and win the ressies by about 4 or 5 goals too despite losing the 2nd semi.

Hopefully North prove me wrong and they have a few times this year.

I know Adelaide Oval staff are stoked, it was the most feral day of the year last year when Sturt and the Powers reserves played off, I've never encountered anything like it and wouldn't wish it upon anyone!

Sorry, I just KNEW my Premiership T-Shirt with the yellowing armpits was probably going to offend anyone down-wind from me, but I reckon it brought us good luck on the day.

Big call to take Thring into the game under such a cloud. Looked like he'd done it again last week and when I heard Carr speak about it he said it was getting better every day, this was on Tuesday night. Come on Josh, nobody is buying that.

Leaders are leaders for a reason and I'm sure he'll make the right call for his club.

I unveiled my chimney a few times in the late 80s at the Emu or the Morphy as it was then known.

Nothing to worry about: it was during the 22 year period (1972 to 1994) when we didn't win a single finals game!

Come come, BP.

It was the "Decade of the Dogs", after all.

I know, things started looking up the moment Martin McKinnon laid a match-winning tackle against Norwood in a final in 1994. Then 2000 came and the heavens opened and all our prayer were answered.

All of them?

Selfish lot, could have gone with world peace, ending starvation, cured cancer....but all you wanted was a Doggies flag.

Shame.

[bulldogproud]

Yep, we know what is important in life!!
When you've waited your whole life for just a glimpse of the holy grail, nothing else matters!
We are not like you lot where a premiership was an annual expectation during that era!

FWIW, just to clarify, my "Decade of the Dogs" quote was a tongue in cheek reference to an optimistic, if not ultimately mistimed, proclamation touted from within the CDFC circa 1980 about the (then) coming ten years - of which, Norwood's '84 flag was a part.

Sorry folks, play on.

[Spargo]

I knew what you meant, mate.
