Jonas hurt his knee on the half time siren and took no further part in the match.

Batsanis limped off down the race at 3/4 time with a leg injury also.

Will be interesting to see if the video review yields any reports from this game.

Reserves
Norwood…18-16-124
North….5-8-38

Crowd -5,021

U/16s and u/18s play at Prospect tomorrow.

Do they do video reviews in SANFL?

Scoreboard flattered North IMO, thought we were a good 10 goal better side tonight. Dawe was awesome, one of his best for awhile and Jez could have kicked 10, he was very good up front.
North just turned it over so many times, poor Jimmy played a lone hand, must have had close to 50 touches. Without him North would have been destroyed tonight. Good to Alleway do sweet FA and even the North crowd gave him the bronx cheer when he got his only kick. Boras was very average but most of the forward entries were not great.
Got the job done, now have a big match next Friday against the Tigers

Batsanis was apparently concussed in the warm up, not by over the hill hack Big Clint, but by a ball kicked by one of his team mates.

Reasonable performance marred by us missing a few gimmes and dropping a few easy marks in the forward fifty.

Hope Jonas is ok.

I'd only just walked in and saw the football meet face, was a massive impact, must admit I laughed...

Great to have Friday night footy back at coopers
Good solid performance by Norwood nothing special
Should be bumper crowd next week against the bays

If there isn't 10,000 next Friday at the Parade I'll go he ...

There won't be.

Though numbers might be bolstered if Norwood advertises the fact that they've sh!tcanned that frickin' strobe light....

Thought the Roosters tried hard but were simply upstaged by a far better disciplined and drilled Norwood. Well done Legs.
The clash between Gallman and whoever the Norwood guy was in the last quarter on the members side was worth the $14 admission alone, as was the Legs fan heard to say "Don't bleed on our oval!!!"

Thanks BP, do they watch the whole game looking for incidents or do the clubs/umpires give the reviewers the time of incidents they would like them to have a look at?

Norwood far too good and in reality should have won by 10 plus goals on the balance of play. They were slicker, faster and pressured North all night. The Chooks need to learn to handle pressure instead of relying on a few Senior players to absorb the pressure and get things rolling. A few North players found out last night and hopefully Francou gets the tape of the game and highlights to the majority of our players what Norwood did and what we didn't do which was in reality chalk and cheese. Norwood very impressive.

Norwoods ability to run hard all night and create space when they have the ball and then shut down ours was big factor in their win and where they are at present. Also their ability to use the ball cleanly was in stark contrast to the fumbly under 12's effort put up by the majority of North players.

Positives for North??? There's always next week I suppose? Thank Robran we have Jimmy Allan otherwise we would have had no clearances whatsoever. Too much reliance on Jimmy too often and some of our other midfielders bludge off his efforts. Honourable mentions for Bennett, K. Thompson, Ivens and in part Clinch and Johnstone but the rest not good enough. Not sure what happened to Miles (assume he was injured?) but his non presence in defence for the majority of the game didn't help our cause either especially given the horrible game Nathan Blee had - 3 goals he gifted Nwd in the first half.

As for Topsy's comment re Alleway - over the hill hack??? Alleway had a dirty night and was well beaten but our fwds have some complaints re the delivery they get too at times. Just enjoy your win instead of making stupid comments. Your "over the hill hack" in Warren had a good night due to no pressure from any opponent in the main but still don't see his name in the State Squad but Alleway is there!

Exactly. Always thought Alleway was a good enough footballer not to have to pull some of the stunts he pulls that's all.

Fair enough - play on!

North were never in it; we should have lost by more.

From what I saw last night Jimmy is the only thing stopping North from being a spoon contender. We couldnt shut him down no matter what, just seemed too many Rooster players left it all up to him to do.
You Rooster fans see more of him than me but ive honestly never seen Boras have a good game, very lazy last night. He must be better than that

He is our Taylor Walker.
