Norwood form streak looked like it may have ended last week but like very good teams that fought back and won.

Our form last week was pretty good as well and competition for spots is good.

South by a point

Panthers need to tidy up their forward entries, if they can do that they will win by 13 pts.

I have always liked a tidy forward entry.

From our perspective, be interesting to see how the lads go on a few fronts:

1. How will the depth players perform?
2. How do South look and how do we match up on them?
3. How do we look on a big ground?

Main thing obviously, is hopefully both sides get through without injury.

South getting to within two to three goals of Eagles and Sturt on home soil this year. I think South will be very competitive, and this will be a good hit-out Norwood before their finals week off.

'Legs by three goals.

Good to see our U18’s win on the final day to make finals

Tyson Brown from South Adelaide looking in real trouble after what looked to be a seizure after a heavy knock. Game has been stopped with both teams in their huddles near the change rooms.

Looked horrible. Ambo called apparently. 10+ min without play and counting..

Has been a good game of footy so far

Thanks for the news, hopefully he's OK. I'm also concerned for some of the young ladies who are South physios who might get disturbed by the incident including my daughter.

Play to resume soon, 25+ min delay.

Hope the young lad’s OK

Daughter just messaged me, she was the first one to get out to him.

Is she ok Wedgie?

Any word on the lad?

Not sure on either front yet, she hasn't replied to me, I'm sure she's busy ATM.

Sorry Wedgie, I thought you had spoken to her

She just got back to me, said he was doing OK and talking by the time he was leaving the oval.
In regard to my girl, she'll be fine, she's in her 4th year as a physio at University and is getting the same training doctors are.
She said the players were quite upset and flat when the game started as they had no idea how he was.

Glad she is ok, and obviously him too

The footy gods really don't want Tyson Brown to play a full game at Adelaide Oval.....poor bastard ripped his hamstring in the first 2 minutes last time South played there!
