RD18 North Lost to Sturt Review

[Wedgie]

North's home crowds this year seemed to have dropped off?

Did they prefer Jars?

Umm crowds are up Dutchy, we were running 3rd in home crowds this year for a while too and have comprehensively outnumbered opposition supporters every game. Not like you to make a stupid and wrong comment so I'll let this one pass.

I apologise for saying something positive about North's future. If you want to watch what they served up yesterday in years to come then be my guest. It was rubbish for NAFC and rubbish for the SANFL's customers. And IIRC it was you who was basking in the excitement of North played such ATTACKING football a few years back.

No need to apologise and I'm not sure where you're coming from, I'm not basking in North's new style of football in fact I think its goddamn awful to watch. In fact I think the SANFL as a whole is delivering garbage this year, I haven't seen one decent match and the 2 VFL games I've watched have been a pleasure to watch. Hawthorn dished up garbage in the AFL Grand Final last year too, I'm not going to be complaining if it gets us a flag down the track. I'm not saying I enjoy it, I just pointed out to you how you were about 5 years behind in your observation of NorthI really don't care what style of football North play these days, might have been different in the past when I actually went to the football to watch the football.

PS LOL @ lego man, I thought Ray Martin was at full forward for Sturt when they first ran out!

They have done it twice this year so "as if" is a bit wrong.

Wasnt a comment, it was a question, "seemed" meant I dont have the facts but a general feeling I had which was proven wrong when stats were presented...

No probs mate, it was just that your comment "seeemed" quite stupid.

Bloody band wagoners those North supporters, they move up 2 spots in the ladder and their average attendance rises by 600 people a game.

Not like us Central supporters we win the premiership and our crowd averages goes down

Perhaps the loungerooms at home were glued to the "Crows Choke" .......????
Saturday's crowd was certainly less than last time !

Sturt's Ben Nelson copped a heavy knock to the face from last weekend's game, here is a little piece from the Messenger

Surgery for Nelson


Sturt midfielder Ben Nelson


STURT midfielder Ben Nelson will have surgery on a depressed fracture in his cheekbone tomorrow.

The veteran suffered a knock to the face in Saturday’s win over North Adelaide and has been in mild pain since.

``I was tackled and as I went down my face clashed with a knee in the middle of a pack,’’ he said.

``At the time it was more of a shock than intense pain.

``It’s a bit sore and hard to eat, and it’s a bit harder to laugh at Chambo’s (Brant Chambers) gags.’’

Nelson, who has been in encouraging form for Sturt after overcoming pre-season groin surgery, hopes to return after this weekend’s bye.

He has done all training, except the competitive work, at Unley Oval this week.

``I’ll certainly be putting my hand up,’’ he said.

``I may have to wear a helmet at the start, but then you’ve got a target on your head if you wear a helmet so I’ll wait and see.’’

initially i thought he'd be out longer but glad that he is keen to play asap.
