R11 - Norwood v Adelaide @ Coopers

[RB]

What the **** is Rooch banging on about on twitter regarding the 2's game beforehand? Did the Cows demand the game end early so they could do their precious little warm up on the ground? Isn't this why SANFL Reserves games went to 28 minute flat quarters?

Yeah there's been plenty of talk on FB about the Ressies starting half an hour earlier to accommodate the Crows entourage, the Crows stats people taking over the Westies stat bench at 3/4 time of the ressies, and then blowing the siren in the Magoo's a few minutes before time had expired, with West less than 2 kicks behind. Westies players then had to stand around like spare pricks at a wedding on the Oval during the QB presentation because their rooms were occupado.

It's just BS of the highest order and needs to be sorted out.

Disgraceful if true.

Well the 8 goal margin was about right in the end given the ridiculous imbalance in possessions in the second half . Nwd hung in there pretty well in the first half and the endeavour, especially the tackling, was really good. Our list is really struggling with injuries and skill level but it was great to see Bower, Miller and Richards stepping up and having pretty good games. We fell away in the second half with Henderson and Ellis-Yolmen absolutely dominating. Ellis-Yolmen's foot skills are extraordinary. Webber and Bartlett had strong games and Wilson was our best by quite some way. Pretty good crowd (though about 4000 down on Trigg's estimates from all that Adelaide spin a few years ago) and they got quite a highlight when LJ chased and buried one of the Crows players in a crunching tackle right in the middle of the ground. It was the highlight of a pretty miserable game. Massive game against the Dogs this Saturday. Ridiculously, if we manage a win we still have a season. And for the Nwd supporters who are calling for Warren's head and think he's stuck in a Bassett game plan of circa 2012 - there was lots to like and counter those dopey comments (especially in the first half) on Sunday.

Warren's missing Oatey, that's for certain.

Wasn't much to like in the 2nd half, when we'd rebound from the back half only for the ball carrier to get caught or cough it up, because the poor bastard had not 1 teammate ahead of centre to kick too.

Presently, Wilson aside, Norwood are slow, not big enough, and lack the skill and/or structure to move the ball quickly by foot. Can't go anywhere under those circumstances.

5-14 from the last 19 now, but plenty will keep believing there isn't a problem.

LJ chased somebody?

[Hazydog]

My program suggests Norwood V Central on Saturday?

[Douglas Mawson]

Yep, Saturday it is. Fixed now.

Exactly
Worse is we havnt even won 1 quarter from our last 10.
Disgraceful to not have a forward inside 50 to kick to. We seriously lack pace and skills are very average. Season is done and dusted IMO

Dogwatcher,interesting comment,maybe Norwoid is missing David Oatey.

Maybe some at the club just need to man up and get over it, then get on with doing the job they're paid to do.

You're right. Apologies, that's who I meant.

Watched the game on TV
Just b4 the game started the odds shown on TV this game were
Crownbet
$3-20 Norwood
$1-35 Adelaide Crows Reserves

Considering Norwoods injury list the $1-35 looked a very safe bet
