Well done to the Roosters. Their attacking style, not smothered by Norwood's ultra defensive tactics.

Wrote out a lengthy reply then lost it lol.

So in a nutshell, North worked harder for longer than us, broke the lines and carried better than us, and were far better skilled.

All equals vastly more efficient than us.

Defensive, not ultra-defensive - Being a West fan should know the difference

Its easy to forget we actually had more scoring shots. We couldnt kick a goal and they couldnt miss. Their skills by foot were far superior and we were under constant pressure and turned the ball over way too much.
They seemed to run all day where as we resorted to that crappy handball game that goes nowhere.
Given a footballing lesson today

There is a differance but after playing 2 loose men in defence from the first bounce of the GF you would fully understand that

yep, the way they ran it out of Norwood's forward line, too slick for The Legs today.

Probably, but not when they play the better teams

[on the rails]

Played 5 won 4 and our only loss by 1 solitary point and still 3rd!

So who is on form the best side to date?

[JK]

1. North
2. West
3. Norwood
4. Eagles
5. Bays

A bit like saying Norwood are good at finals, but not when they play the better teams.

Still think we will finish top 2 by seasons end, need to get some of our injured players back ASAP though

So do we!

Maybe that loss gave us the kick up the arse we needed to go on with the job.

Norwood is yet to play a decent (and full) game this year mate! Every match we have struggled through IMHO. We may be the reigning Premiers but 12 premiership players were missing today, and add that to a number of reserves players from a side that finished second last year, you can see the team is struggling to click. Poor skill execution (all year) doesn't help either. For all our player losses, we barely recruited to cover them either (Craig Evans, Baulderstone, the Wilson boys and Davis is about it) so no wonder we have been struggling along.

I didn't get to the game today FWIW so I'm not in a position to proclaim North as Premiership favourites but maybe that's a tag they should be wearing. I'm happy for us to be underdogs for a while again.

[on the rails]

No way are we thinking we are Premiership favourites but nice to be higher up in top 3 than around 5th or 6th with a few other clubs. Showing a bit more consistency this year than we have in past 2 seasons but we haven't played 4 quarters of consitent football yet either.

[The Sleeping Giant]

Great day for Norwood, loss the football game and decided they would get back at the SANFL by not promoting their own football club on national t.v

National tv?
There would be a huge crowd watching the 2 am replays of SANFL interstate

It's live into the territory. Congrats on your first non crow comment and congratulating north on the win.

Baulderstone was a huge loss today and I believe he is still 3-4 away.
Am confident we will get it together, feel we are only a few players away from being a very good side again.
Feel we are carrying too many passengers ATM
