Rd 12 Norwood v Panthers post game chat

[The Sleeping Giant]

Yeah, you tell him centurion. Don't like it go post on Redleg Stalk. Now I am going to have a bowl of Kronic.............but I will be back.

[blueandwhite]

Blue and White your are kidding right.

The umpiring was pathetic and Eagleton's 2 reports will be dropped before Monday. I suspect that the umpires board will make a
formal apology to the Norwood Football Club on Monday

The joke of an umpire who reported him twice should be reported and dismissed from any further games period.

I wouldn't trust that peanut with a juniors game.

Eagleton's second report was based on him standing still and the South player diving into his legs !!!! and deemed as a head
high contact, I kid you not.

He was a joke in the first quarter and even more so in the second, then the 2 reports, he had to be escorted off the ground at
half time and then ran the gauntlet of Bass seeking clarification of what he was on!!!

Good on Bass for not tolerating such acts of bastardry.

Suffice to say the other two umpires instructed him to stay at the other end of play and not use his whistle, funny watching him
run away from the play for fear of getting caught up in play.

We would have won this game by 20 goals had it not bean for free kicks given to South for even breathing on them in the first half.

Ah you have to love Norwood supporters- they smash us by 12 goals and then have to whinge like poms about the umpiring. have a look at the stats and you'll find that Norwood kicked their first 3 goals from very dubious free kicks,sure you smashed by 12 goals and so you have to whinge- give us a break!!!!
As for Eagletons report, it will be even more laughable than the inept umpiring display we all witnessed today, if he gets off the first charge- a forearm to the head of a player who was looking the other way 40m off the ball....? ??? great to see him sent off anyway- I didnt see it but someone said he tripped over his fat wallet on the way to the bench.

Topsy....Bunkum? GOLD! Who says that anymore?

[Adelaide Hawk]

I didnt see it

I doubt that you see much.

[Adelaide Hawk]

If I was a Norwood supporter, I wouldn't be to bothered by the umpires, your first 3 goals came from free kicks, one of them was a definite, the other two were a bit on the dubious side.

Nowhere in my post did I say anything about who was favoured. My post said that the umpiring was bloody pathetic, and I meant it. You can read into it what you like.

Hey, AH, did pp say anyone was favoured? He just stated that your first 3 goals came from free kicks, chill out.

Why don't you STFU? Your comments are worthless. If I want to comment on poor umpiring I will. Don't tell me what I can post and what I can't.

This IS my thread, it's a public forum about The SANFL, of which I am passionate about. My opinion is just as valid and regarded as yours. Now I am going to have a bowl of Golden North Vanilla Ice Cream.............but I will be back.

Like a dose of gastro.

I don't go to the Footy to watch goals kicked from from free kicks, I saw way too many today. The umpiring was prissy, overly technical and blatantly wrong way too many times today. They ruined a perfectly average game of football. You on the other hand appear to be blaming them for the loss.

And if you, as a south supporter, are having a go at someone for being a mercenary then I'd suggest you let me introduce you to Mr Pot and Mr Kettle. You'd only try and recruit them though.

[HOORAY PUNT]

When the two reports on Eagleton are thrown out how are we compensated for his being sent off ?
That piece of crap who reported him the second time should never be allowed to umpire again. To send off a player of that quality over many years is a disgrace and Nathan was obviously upset by his treatment.
We need to go back to two umpires because we can not find 27 field umpires of League quality each week and never ever will.
ALL umpires should have played the game for a minimum of 5 years before they are permitted to umpire at SANFL level. They have no idea of the spirit of the game and you can never have that unless you have played the game.
If we are short of umpires then just use one !!!!!!!!
I am sick to death of having my afternoon/night at the football ruined by gutless whimps.

COMPENSATED? Does ANYONE get compensated when a player is reported? That is a dumb question!! Who gives a frigging tinker's cuss about the "quality" of your player! What makes a player of 1 game any better than a player of 500 games, when it comes to being reprimanded? HE SHOULD KNOW BETTER!! 27 Umpires each week? 3 per game, 4 games, hmmmmm.......

At a guess , 499 games ? How was your ice cream ?

[southee]

Took the trek to Norwood Oval.

Saw a very competitive South Adelaide side for the 1st half......then it went to total s**t after half time. I have no idea what was put in the gatorade but maybe a "sleeping tablet"???

Cringeworthy football to stand there and watch that today. Embarrassing skill errors, lack of contest to the ball and some very soft efforts.
If we are going to gain respect we talk about so much - it is a long way off.

I thought we took it right up to Norwood for the first half and I was very positive that we could come out and run them off their feet having the longer break - I was kidding myself.

Norwood - Rodan killed us. Pfeiffer, McGuniess great.

South - Stribling hard at it once again but he cant be doing it himself!!! Liddle tried. Thewlis OK........that was about it.

Short kicks in the back line and cute little football once again came to head. Mind you.....there was really nowhere to kick to in the back lines.

People say we have improved from last year......Im not 100% convinced. I looked at some players today in the hundle and did not see that fire in their eyes.......we need that fire in players eyes if we are going anywhere!!!

Lift your game South Adelaide!!!

Not blaming the umpires for our defeat by any means,we were insipid after halftime; but I find it laughable that Norwood people can carry on about the umpiring when they have smashed us by 12 goals!!!!
As for calling the kettle black, I'd suggest that we have learnt from being busted for breaking the cap, . Our days of paying ridiculous amounts for 33 year old ex AFL players using one sanfl club against another to boost their superannuation are well and truly over. I do recall that Norwood have been found guilty of breaking the salary cap in the past as well.

[am Bays]

I would have thought the best time to comment about umpires is after you've won. Doesn't sound like sour grapes then.

[clanger]

today showed that we are terrible on the road. We will only win at home this year where we have shown the consisent effort we want every week home or away.

ABC game next week Panthers vs Eagles at Hickinbotham oval

i just want to see the consisent effort next week that i have seen in the first five home games not the usually crap we serve up when on the ABC.

B&W you need new glasses, the ball was in the imediate ficinity within 5 metres and it was a fair hip and shoulder just like wingnut in last years GF

Well, AH, as a Moderator I can tell you what you can and can't post. Posts that consist entirely of attacks on other posters are against our site rules, so I'd ask you to remember that, please.

Centurion, I'd also ask that you might perhaps show a little more discretion when you post on match threads on non-Centrals games.


Further posts breaking site rules will be deleted.

Pretty pleased with our performance in the end yesterday ... At halftime I was fairly concerned with the wet weather imminent, as South had been the more intense and desperate team in the first half, very much looking "up and about".

Thankfully we came out a different side in the 2nd half, and the boys got themselves on a bit of a roll.

Favourite moment of the day was South bloke (McLeod?) nabbing Jericho holding the ball and letting him know all about it, only for Jericho to ping him about 5 seconds later .. He then went back and from 50m out deep in the pocket went bang, and rightly returned the favour with a little whisper in the lads ear.

South fans, what's going on with Cockshell? He should be having a decent influence in matches but he looked at times yesterday disinterested, and certainly didn't look a picture of fitness.

Thewlis is a class act however, always has been.

[CENTURION]

that's better, a warning! Thanks.................. But I barrack for ALL SANFL sides!

[redandblack]

Pleased to hear it, mate. In that case, don't constantly talk about Centrals in other match threads, please.
