Preliminary Final: Norwood vs Eagles - Sun 26th Sep 3:10pm

[Mickyj]

Warning to all Norwood supporters is to think no further than this week. If you underestimate the Eagles you do so at your own peril.

And maybe it could be a good idea if the Eagles don't underestimate Norwood either?

Yep we should be wary of each other Adelaide Hawk !!

How the heck we made it this far against such big odds .Well done to both coaches so far this year.

My gut feeling is that the Eagles may be better off without Salter and Broadbent. For a cut throat game it will be a big risk bringing those back after not playing for four weeks. Also the Eagles AFL players have a history of not performing come finals time (I know they havent all let us down i.e. Stevens in 2000 and Skipworth in 2006).

Strangely Norwood will go into the game hot favourites, but I feel the Eagles would give Central a tougher game in the GF. They have showed that they have the mental toughness on the big stage (Norwoods time will come after a few more finals series)

Jam Hot!

Nearly Prelim time and nobody confidently knows whether Salter Broadbent are :
Still injured
Are allowed to play by Primus and his colleagues
Still recovering from the Powers Mad Monday
If they want to in fact play in a SANFL final
etc etc

WTFIGO ?

mmmmmmmmmmmm,

now Bown is talking about IF they play Central again,

are the Redlegs getting way to far ahead of themselves.

As the week goes on im slightly leaning towards the Eagles despite their injuries.

I don't see anything in there that suggests they are getting way to far ahead of themselves. He mentions Central, but given we just played them and if we win we play them again, it seems fair enough given the context of the quote.

talking about what they may do if they play Centrals.

Personally i wouldnt want the players talking about anything other than this weeks game,

I wouldnt have been happy if this time last week the Dogs players were talking about what they would possibly be planning in the GF.

Not underestimating Norwood at all AH. I've said it's going to be a tough game and to pick a winner without at least seeing what sides have been named is oh so hard. I do believe out of the 3 teams left remaining the Eagles are the form side. However we will go in under-dogs again this week, how I do not know. But the Eagles are happy to wear the tag of under-dog.

Not impressed by the Dogs last two starts against Glenelg and Norwood.

[CENTURION]

No, let him go. The Eagles are the form side at the moment.

[MagareyLegend]

Just spoke to Nick stlll in Qld. Back tomorrow. Been running and feeling really good. Has been told by Eagles that he is definitely playing (subject to a very basic running test by the Power which he is confident he will fly through).

You dropped something there...

Ah yes, there it is. A name.

Jealousy is a curse nobody man

So's being an ugly old bastard!

Is it?

What's the next part you're happy to wear, you have nothing to lose?!

This!

I am and Norwood should embrace that we are favourites for this game!

We deserve to start favourite, and will deliver the goods Sunday!

Confident!

One for the Norwood fans,

If Rowe is having to spend more time in the ruck this week, how are Norwood going to kick a winning score.

Who will be ther tall forwards.

Shenton is ok but doesnt play tall, Bown can go forward but is only just resuming from injury.

Personally i DONT like the balance of that side.

[MagareyLegend]

Eagles
IN - Daniel, Miles, Salter, Day, Rayner
OUT - Redden, Lewis, Treeby

Norwood
IN - Bown (rec) Hughes (rec) Grigg
OUT - Gorringe

So Hentschel not out but Boradbent not selected.

I think Eagles look a better balanced side on paper (but we all know that often means zilch).
