Not a lot of interest in the season opener 2 days out?

Still seems like another week of trials thanks to the ridiculous draw that has most clubs not involved in the opening round.
GG SANFL.

Why is Bartlett's name split over two lines?

Very good Norwood side, we should win comfortably.

I know it's not traditional for Rd 1 but can some local experts post the ins & outs for each side from their last final. Thanks.

Norwood
In's: Personis, Suckling, Georgiou, Wilkins, Thomas, Bampton
Out's: McGuiness, Phillips, Kirwan, Wilson, Smart, Hughes

Fairly good looking team, but so is Sturts. Hard to know who will have the better form this time of year. Norwood lose a bit of run from those changes, whether it matters as much at the Parade we'll find out I guess.

Interest in the SANFL alive and well

Interesting OMEN raising the Premiership Flag upside down.

[Macca Wynne]

Redlegs goal in first minute.

[Jim05]

Legs a little wasteful that quarter, should be 4-5 goals up. Norwood's pressure and tackling fantastic
