Quarter time

Half time at the parade. Norwood leading kicks, marks, and handballs. Trailing Sturt 1.3 to 6.6. Also trailing the frees, 6 to 16.

Just looking at the stats , start of the last, Snelling with 17 tackles!

We are simply no good. Zero chance of playing finals and be lucky to win more than a couple of games

Good win by us. Our mids looked way too good for Norwood's.

A happy Easter treat!

Snelling with 40 and 20 tackles…. That’s getting to a lot of contests

Thats a BIG reason why ST pummelled NW tonight

Wonder if Jade Sheedy knew what he was getting himself in for

Saw the last half of the final quarter … faark, the Legs are currently shite … until they beat the Bays next week

Norwood's reserves won their premiership last year, and the league side was one or two small football actions away from winning the flag.
But the decision to approach and then appoint Sheedy and to not explore any other coaches, and the refusal to properly recruit will see Norwood fall to 8th or 9th this year.
Likely to beat West once, should beat South at home late in the season, and should beat the Power reserves once. Might snap another win or two along the way, but it's hard to see where.

Sheeds is an exponentially better coach than Twig … there’s more than a few who are glad he’s gone.

Blame lack of recruiting if you must, but i (if I actually gave a faark about them … disclaimer - I don’t ) wouldn't be pinning it on the coach at this stage. Look how shite they were in 2023 under Twig.

FFS, it’s only round 3, plenty of time to make up ground and get back into contention … although it would be wonderful if they didn’t.

Sack Sheeds

Bays and Crows next two up for the Legs so Owen 5 not out of the question.. hard to recover from there.
