Steve Bailey Retires

no coincidence that Norwood were worse when he left

He left after 2007 and we played finals the year after. Just FYI.

A top bloke who got the raw end of the deal from a coach who didn't know his best position. He'll always be remembered fondly at The Parade for a game against South at Adelaide Oval where we came from the clouds and he kicked the winning goal. Plus he's semi famous at Norwood for driving up next to a car with a Norwood sticker somewhere north of Gepps Cross and shoving his street directory out of the window and asking for directions to a place called 'Elizabeth Oval'.

Good luck with whatever is next Bails.

Cheers mate, I was just alluding to the fact that from 04 to 07 Norwoods win rate improved from 20% to 40% where it was 35% last year but with the inequalities of the SANFL draw it would be unfair to go on figures alone so it was mainly a personal observation.

Pretty sure 1 player didn't make that much difference mate.

Anyone know what Bails intentions are now, is he heading back to Melbourne or staying over here?

I don't think he was the ONLY reason, just part thereof. Just my observation of how well he always played against us.
