R2: North v Norwood - Sunday 3 April @ Prospect Oval

[Dutchy]

NORTH
North Adelaide vice-captain Marlon Motlop will only miss 1-2 weeks with a shoulder injury as the Roosters prepare to face Norwood at Prospect on Sunday.
Motlop dislocated his shoulder after landing awkwardly in a marking contest, forcing him from the field against Central on Good Friday.
But the former Power utility has been cleared of serious damage, much to the relief of Roosters officials.
Michael Clinch, James Craig, Josh Gregg and former Glenelg forward Lewis Hender have all been named in the 23-man squad to face the Redlegs.
Sam Wundke is the only certain omission at this stage with two more players to be cut before the bounce.

NORWOOD
Norwood has lost an element of speed for its match against North at Prospect Oval on Sunday.
With small forward Simon Phillips sidelined for at least a month with a shoulder injury, pacy wingman Anthony Wilson will also miss the clash with the Roosters due to a hamstring strain.
Bob Quinn Medallist Mat Suckling will rejoin League ranks after notching 28 disposals and 12 clearances in the Reserves while Callum Bartlett and Matt Nunn have also been included in the Redlegs’ 23-man squad.
Former Glenelg ruckman Josh Miller has been named to possibly play his first League match for Norwood, acting as cover for Sam Baulderstone, who rolled his ankle in the win against Port last Thursday night.
Triple Premiership midfielder Tim Webber will play his 100th IGA League match.

Will Johnston outscore North?

well, i asked the magic 8 ball (http://www.ask8ball.net/ ) and got the answer "It is decidedly so"......

[Magellan]

Will Johnston outscore North?

Every chance!

He'd outscore us even if he started the game at half-time.

[Bounce of the ball]

Norwood by 51.North will be competetive early and the Norwood will slowly shake them off. I hope North show some fight and give their supporters some hope.

If not, there's always $5 stouts at the RSL.

[locky801]

an injection of enthusiasm this week will see the Roosters hang on to win by 1 point, in the U16's

[Fricky]

Any chance Norths have put a price on who can ko Johnston first?

[Wedgie]

Any chance Norths have put a price on who can ko Johnston first?

Our players couldn't ko a fly let alone take a player out!

North players are so lacking in skill that if they would try to take Johnston out they would miss and collect one of their own teammates.

[norwood8]

Will be interesting to see what our game plan looks like this week due to the loss of pace in the side. I'd still expect us to win, but not by as much as some think.

[Panther Pack]

I was gonna start a have North Imploded thread after round 1 but then realised North are playing Norwood & Johnston this week so hope Norwood smash the cocks so we can start the implosion thread

We'd have trouble trying to hit water falling out of a boat.

[Ian]

The North faithful will be the winners, big pissy day with a big NACS/NGS 50th anniversary banner, no one will give a shit about the footy!!

With Johnston's injury history he doesn't need any North player's help.

Ha...... This coming from a South fan.

50 years is impressive, imagine some of the Livers?! Anyone been involved for the entire 50?

[LPH]

Had planned on attending & standing with the 'Groggies' because of 'Skeff'.
Not sure I can now, as I assume he won't be there
Anything on the banner - a little Fox, perhaps?

Turn up anyway mate. A great turnout would be very fitting.
Let's hope the team lift a little for the groggies to.
