Norwood by 11 points in a low scoring encounter

[PatowalongaPirate]

Both these teams are looking to turn competitive performances when you haven’t been able to make the most of your chances into wins.

The Redlegs will have felt they had more than enough chances to have put Adelaide away in blustery conditions in their annual regional match in Port Lincoln.

The final scoreline of 8.20 to 14.5 was staggering, Norwood having 61 forward-50 entries to just 40 and with the wind in the second and final quarters finishing with 6.19 for all their efforts.

But there were plenty of good signs for coach Jade Sheedy as they won the clearances (41-37) and tackle count against their high-ranking opponents and kept fighting it out – even though their last five scores were behinds.

In his third game, 19-year-old Jacob Newton showed what a bright future he has with three cracking goals (he defied the yips with 3.1). It’s hard to see a breakthrough win being far away from the Legs.

The 1-4 Panthers will be desperate to make sure this is not the week. After being strongly competitive to start the season, letting it slip in the second half in a 54-point loss against Central will not sit well, so there’s no doubt they will be hard at it and determined to maintain it for four quarters. Olivier Northam gives it all he’s got to create a spark in ruck and he will be looking to get South going.

Norwood by 9 pts.

[Gary McAish]

Good to see Donnelly and Wright in to strengthen the defence, but not having a recognised ruckman is hurting. It has to come together at some point, right?

With any luck, no.

Don't need a recognised ruckman, North have played nearly 20 seasons without one

South 7-6 on penalties

[Dragonfly_Eyes]

Important game for Norwood if they have any plans to challenge North for sixth.

Norwood winning a close one would see them up to eighth, win by about 20 points or more and they hit seventh.
They'll probably lose though.

Yes, a sleeping giant has been awakened.

Another pretty uninspiring performance from the home side.

South have kicked 50 goals in 6 rounds, most of which have been played in favourable weather conditions. Only 13 of 35 players who have played seniors have registered a goal. It's very tedious, scrappy and frustrating footy to watch.

The usual suspects Davis and Northam named best. Injuries to the tall defenders are starting to take a toll. Callow again had a decent showing against South.
