Grand Final Post Game Reviews

[CedeNullis]

As a most passionate Norwood supporter for the best part of 35 years I was incredibly proud of the effort the lads put in on Grand Final day but unfortunately we were beaten by a better team on the day. To any true Redleg fans who were whingeing about Flipper getting cleaned up by Ian Callinan do us all a favour, please get over it, it was nothing more than a good, solid hip & shoulder bump which is a part of any football competition other than the AFL. We had our chances in the last quarter but weren't good enough to take them & can only hope that the defeat drives us on to bigger & better things in 2011. Congrats to the Doggies who continue to be the benchmark which the rest of us strive to achieve.

One of the best posts in the GF review thread.

People can make their own minds up, but they didnt pay another all day and what about in the back?

Watch the game closely Dutchy and u will see Duigan just drop the ball on the ground.

Then the Ump should have made the call straight away, but he didnt

Just as much Phillips fault as Callinan..

Agreed, but let's see if the other clubs players can help reverse that somewhat next year shall we? Nothing like a bit of skull cracking

provided the ball is within 5 meters, their elbows are tucked in and there not a foot in the air. eg, Callinan on Phillips

I agree with you Dutchy

No doubt the Dogs deserve the premiership, but the fact that a young Norwood side that started the season 0-4 almost snatched it from them has made a few feel a tad threatened here. It wasn't exactly the clinical Centrals that we've all come to admire, put it that way. But I get the feeling that everything has to be perfect, even if it wasn't...let them think so..

yep, zero metres will do. I've been calling for years for my team's players to crack some skulls (fairly of course)...about time it happened, if you can get away with it.

It was perfect. WE WON. CDFC PREMIERS 2010.

May not get the chance, Callinan said on the news tonight he was going to re-nominate for the draft. After his BOG performance in the GF, which would have been in front of most, if not all AFL club scouts, he may have enhanced his chances of being a mature age recruit?

what would happen if he was to get suspended for his fair bump on Phillips

would he miss the games in the AFL next year.

Correct.

[Mr Irate]

The only complaint I got with the Grand Final umpiring was that holding the ball against Norwood in the first quarter that resulted in a Dogs goal kicked by Callinan (IIRC!)...that umpire stood there like a statue for what seemed like 10 seconds before he paid "holding the ball"...you know you're in trouble when the umpire doesn't immediately call "ball up" but instead stands there like a statue looking at the contest but, sheesh, he took friggin ages to call it!!!...

Agree that was a shocker, and the ump could clearly see Callinan was holding the ball under the Norwood player.

Question regarding the celebrations at HHO, why dont they hold them on the Oval?

It's actually a cost issue, much easier and cheaper to clean up a car park than to get the oval back into shape........fact.

[Dutchy]

Thanks Mr seems fair, does the oval get used in Summer?

[Mr Irate]

I think they practice laps of honour

Well not Callinan in particular...any Dogs player...Time for the rest of the comp to make a bee-line for them and...hit them...well not hit them, maybe smash them, fairly of course

Whinge, moan, and cry all you like.
CDFC Premiers 2010.

[csbowes]

no CSBowes yet??
or have I missed his delightfully in-depth commentary?

Ahhh I feel the love!

[Squawk]

I hope Phillips enjoys soup, bad luck mate next time i hope Phillips learns abit of awareness. Just as much Phillips fault as Callinan.

If i was Callinan i would be texting 'winners are grinners, phillips cant'
Ahhh i love the summer, hot weather, daylight savings and sitting back reflecting on another premiership ALL SUMMER LONG.

I reckon that's a bit rough whufc and after you've come down from your celebrations, you might think so too.

[smithy]

Thought it was a good, hard and fair bump.
Something allowed in our great competition.

The soup reference is pretty ordinary at best.

WHUFC. You have no class and your opinions would not be shared by IC. Wingnut would never text something like that as he has class. The fact that you seem to have enjoyed a fine young footballer like Simon Phillips having his jaw broken and the subsequent pain and general difficulty it causes a bloke with their life is an embarassment to you and lets down your club. All the Dogs supporters i met on Sunday showed at least some humility in victory. I obviously sat no where near you. In 15 pages of this thread your contribution was probably the most moronic.

More than a bit rough. Enjoy the win whufc, but your texting comment was way out of order.
