RD 5 West v Norwood Review

[redandblack]

Thanks for those kind comments, ST.

You're right, the 'matter-of-factness' about Centrals song was meant in recognising something to aspire to. I acknowledge the years of hard work that preceded it.

I'm sure they sang the premiership songs with jubilation.

Equally as impressive as the comeback win is that our guys remembered how the song went.

My sunday.
Got up at 5 am and went to work.
No internet connection at work Pissed off cannot listen to Westies.
Put on the Geelong game and listened to that wondered about westies.
Sister sent score at 1/4 time thought here we go again.
Sister sent score at half time got very interested.
Same again at 3/4 time very interested.
Sister called after the match finished we won U F**KIN BEAUTY played the club song over and over. Then I wished i was there in adelaide.
Got up this morning put on Westies jacket, scarf and hat and let everyone know about the great win we had.

What in the hell is going on down there at the Parade...too many egos running around out there getting paid too much for doing too little.....Norwood dont seem to be a "club" anymore....just a bunch of over-rated imports that have no real allegiance to the club and certainly no accountability to their loyal and incredibly patient supporters.....there is no way the Legs should have lost that game yesterday.....they ran out onto Richmond Oval with far the better team, greater experience, better skills and superior physical strength and height..... to be 7 goals up in the first quarter in the wet and lose !...with that team !!!.......gimme a break......full marks to Westies though, showed true character and a lot of heart in a win that should really boost morale....Andy Collins is doing a great job with a pretty thin list at his disposal...... Trevor Hill, on the other hand, is obviously struggling to get some of the most talented footballers in the SANFL to understand his gameplan.

i think you over estimate how good the norwood squad is compared to the west squad

You might just be right Bayman...me and most other Norwood supporters...

at last, to come back after being seven goals down is a great result for our club

[csbowes]

I see more than one West supporter with a tear in the eye. Only West supporters would understand and I empathise.

I think as a Sturt supporter I can completely empathise. I remember being at Adelaide Oval when Sturt won its first game in over 650 days, downing West Adelaide in 1996, having not won a game since 1994. In fact, I remember shedding a tear when we beat West Adelaide in the finals in 1998... first time making a grannie in 15 seasons!

[redandblack]

Yes, you'd understand too, csb.

I've just had a look at the video of the winning goal.

The ball is kicked in high to West's forward line. Two Norwood players are in front for the mark. The third player is a West player who comes over the back to outjump them and spoil to ground. Gallagher takes clean possession and is immediately perfectly tackled by the same player who had spoiled a second before.

The ball spills to Davenport, who scrambles it forward to Caruso, who handballs to Hassan, who goals.

The winning goal was made by that West player who spoiled and tackled in an instant.

That player played CHF for two quarters and kicked 2 goals. He played CHB for 2 quarters and his opponent was totally unsighted.

That player was Ryan Ferguson.

Not flashy, usually unnoticed, but an inspirational player and captain.

Ryan Ferguson = Nathan Buckley

I can help but notice the parallels between the Essendon finish and the Blood's finish. Both red and black teams won in the final seconds after being too far behind to be given a serious chance at the final siren yet got the points at the bell.

No, am Bays, just an attempt to recognise a good player on a football forum that often tends towards the glib response.

I admire certain players from all teams. They all have their equivalent of Ryan Ferguson, but some are more recognised than others.

what the hell happened to the legs? that far in front and loose the game. what is going on down at the parade. they were looking the goods a few weeks ago, on top of ladder and going well. with performances like that we dont deserve to be in the finals. No disrespect to westies that is a boost for the bloods..
