They must have partied on a bit too much as many of those Dogs' Grand Finals were not that memorable from a neutrals point of view. How many of the dirty dozen were actually good games? Naturally the Doggies will say nearly all of them but there were plenty of duds too.

Sorry Hammers but no non Dogs fan would remember the 2004 snorefest, unless they happen to be massive stats nerds.

Absolute garbage football. In the last quarter Warren was at half back.....WHY???
Time to change the rules
Last quarter it was time just to take the piss and run down the clock.
He had already kicked 2 goals for the quarter, the game was done and dusted so for the last 10 minutes Norwood just chipped it around inside our back half
Which any smart side would have done!

Exactly
2000 was an absolute snore fest, only memorable to Dogs fans as their first premiership.
Dogs played in their fair share of forgettable GF's

Agree!
as far as a contest it won't be remembered but it will be in the history books forever now and no doubt the answer to a question a quiz night here and there
Like I said since 2000 I think there may only be 5 GF's that ever get mentioned in 20-50 years time.

Yep my son gave C Gowans his in 2009
Was a defensive slog, but unlike last year North were right in it for most of the match and should have pulled almost level in the 3rd.
Norwood too good though and well deserved flag.
Great crowd, makes you wonder why the comp needs the AFL parasites after a day like today.

2008 would have been worse.

Bottom line is that coaches do whatever it takes to win ... It's the result that goes into the record book not how they do it.
Game plans change over time and someone will come up with the next best thing, hopefully soon!

HAHA! What's the difference between being on this forum, and being on another one?
You can't see the difference? Really? Would you not think it slightly odd if i spent my time trawling through forums of other clubs just for the chance to hang shit on them if they happen to make and lose a GF?

I got a goal post and half the Southern Coaches Box.
Just have to go and pick it up at 2.30am on Tuesday Morning - in the dark, stealth like.
I hope they don't read this thread.

Agreed, although I didn't think Deboy's efforts was worth a million dollars though.

Talk about "putting a house" on the result.
Did he even realise at 3/4 time it was him who won the Greatest Footy Raffle thing?

Well done Norwood. Great team. Too much talent and well drilled.

Geez, weren't you happy with the singing mascots at 1/2 time, mini-league game, touch football oldies running around and the big announcement that the house lottery would be drawn at 3/4 time ? It's so hard to please you guys
The SANFL marketting department must have planned this for months !

I go to the footy for the footy, rather they bought a round of beers for me and my mates instead of paying for game day entertainment.
The football and occasion should be enough

Speaking of mascots, I still can't work out why Garry Lyon persists in coming out to Norwood games.
