are norwood the real deal ??

[maccad]

has centrals beaten any team that is at full strenght yet. As for a ride from the umpires your a trippa.

Without doubt the main threat to the Dogs in 2010

[on the rails]

no beat a very much under strength side on there home deck which is not comparable to any ground the finals will be played at.

Norwood were also missing Bown, Trotter, Young, Doyle and Gorringe.
Walker a wild card to play 2 more games and qualify for finals.

2 sides, 21 players each. Rare to see two sides both at full strength play one another, so at the end of the day 2pts is 2pts.

Good post Squawk - summed up beautifully.

Whats a "real deal"?

Premiership contender? No way.

Making up the numbers? You bet.

You want numbers?











THANK YOU SIR MAY I HAVE ANOTHER!

If they get a run like that with the umpires ever again ill become a port supporter.

If thats the closest competition to the Dogs we are home and hosed for premiership number 9

3 Excuses in the one post. Beautiful!

I say that they are the real deal IF they can maintain their current form.

That would see them take a top 3 spot and that is what I regard as the "real deal" - being a genuine premiership contender.

Spot on !
The real deal is finishing in the top 3 to have a chance to win a flag.
Currently Norwood are second so currently they are the real deal.
Will they be the real deal at the end of the year ? Time will tell but I think yes. After so little sustained success over the dark years the winning feeling is too good to throw away.
Marvelous what good leadership can do with essentially the same squad.

Interesting to read the headline in today's paper re the Norwood/Centrals game - "Redlegs real deal".

bayman are you a slow learner ???????

I told you over a month ago that they were and Im surprised that such a learned local footy follower as yourself, has taken this long to get up to scratch with the program

perhaps seeing i asked the original question i may have been 'in front of the program' for a change
