2012 Grand Final Norwood D West Post Game Discussion

[Dogwatcher]

What is Collo listening to on his Ipod headphones while the game is going every week?

Nothing, he's just trying to block out the noise of the crowd cursing him.

[overloaded]

thought he might have been listening to the band as he would have missed it at half time...

Apparently he tore shreds off them at half time

[bays2011]

Band was sh*te. I watched them on the ABC coverage and they were awful and not just because they were a cover band. No energy. Singer looked like he was scared to give us the full Jagger experience, lest he pull a muscle.

the lead singer was awesome. set for bigger things that guy

Wasn't you was it?

His Grandfather?

Not sure I believe the 29k figure to be honest.

[on the rails]

Didn't mind the band but could have done without listening to it when the Norwood players were making their trip around the ground, at least bothering to play the Norwood song might have been appropriate!

I agree 100 percent! I thought it was piss poor that the winning team song was not played at least once during the lap of honour? The SANFL have alot to answer for re after match day finals activities!

[Dogwatcher]

I would. Looked reasonably full. Car parks were shut because they were full.

I enjoyed the band after, great touch

29 was about right IMHO

'Get Back' - The Beatles

Norwood were always going to win this match, so congrats to them.

West would be proud of their achievements this year but their much maligned game plan really bit them today.

It wasn't a match befitting of a grand final ... Collins is either thick, stubborn or both. Blind Freddie could have worked out that a mega flood wasn't going to cut it today, especially against a well disciplined Norwood outfit who know how to turn defence into attack by breaking through a wall.

There were a few occasions today when not only were there 36 players in one half of the ground but amazingly sometimes in only one quarter of the ground ... WTF?

Norwood's game plan is robust, makes sense and is sustainable. West's allowed them to make a grand final in year where the competition was relatively weak, is less than sound, makes little sense and is totally unsustainable.

Maybe somehwat controversially, rather than reward Collins for his efforts, West would be better off dispensing with him and bringing someone in who can harness the talent at West into a more attacking gameplan for a far more sustainable future. Tough call, but IMHO a necessary one.

Anyway, well done Norwood. Apart from having to watch one of the most boring GFs in memory, I had to suffer the ignominy of having a red and blue scarf hanging out of my car window on the way home from Footy Park to appease my recalcitrant wife.

Lets hope Collo aint around next year.

Done a great job with them this year.....

Not Collins fault when coming out of defence you have two options, one 15 metres away and another 40 metres away so you kick straight to the opposition. Our disposal was terrible.

Could those disposals be a result of the pressure the game plan produces? It gets pretty congested, then all of a sudden, you're free and you think you have less time than you actually do? I couldn't believe the number of five metre handballs I saw missed in the second term.

Think was more so Norwoods pressure

I guessed about 27k at the ground so it seemed about right to me.

what does recalcitrant mean?

[Brodlach]

Not sure I believe the 29k figure to be honest.

It was about double the size of a Port Power game so 29k is about right

[bulldogproud2]

Congratulations to Norwood on the premiership - clearly the best team all year so well deserved.

West, great improvement over the season. Good things could be in store for next year.

Cheers

Doesn't put out when expected to ...

It was alluded to earlier, but West missed Tippett today. Then again...even that added flexibility wouldn't have helped them.

So Dedja you want them to sack Collins.... that's the Glenelg way

I do understand your point though. Two of our key forwards didn't play either due to injury (Webb and Still) which didn't help our forward structure either

what is the word that covers never put out? like my mrs
