Rd 9 Norwood v Sturt Post Game Reviews

[blueandwhite]

cue "the hound".

[Adelaide Hawk]

Someone made a comment about Chambers earlier in this thread, and for all the ribbing us opposition supporters throw at him, he was clearly targetted by the men in white last night ... The first 25m penalty given against him at the Southern end was plain ridiculous, and was given by an umpire that clearly had Chambers in his sights (not that we minded at the time).

That must depend on what part of the ground you are watching from. What I saw was Chambers holding onto Zorzi .. free kick. Then when it was paid, Chambers started gobbing off at the umpire ... 25 metres. That's the way it is.

Shortly afterwards, Zorzi outmarked Chambers from behind. Then as Zorzi was about to go back and take his kick, Chambers ran in and grabbed him. 25 meter penalty ... that's the rules of the game. Chambers went off his nut, as did most Sturt fans, but the ruling on both cases was 100% correct. Chambers was then dragged for lack of discipline. Once again, correct.

I'm not saying the umpiring was great, it wasn't, but to use the Chambers incidents as examples is pure folly.

No problem with the second one which was clearly there, but the first one it appeared they pinged him for going over the mark, which I didn't think was the case ... Zorsi moved off his line to take his kick and Chambers almost dived in an attempt to smother and the second he moved, Quickdraw McGraw got him ... Had a pretty good view of it and looked as though the ump was itching to write him out a ticket.

Anyone know what Duigan got booked for?

[Sojourner]

next coach

basset 1/2

james (r) 6/4

quote others

Strong rumour that Phil Carman is in the mix and highly regarded as an ex Norwood man.

[Bluedemon]

i have to agree with other, the standard of umpiring was very poor. tony dey is meant to be the number 1 umpire and some of his decisions were bad and that went for both teams. norwood never looked like they were trying to win, game was too scrappy and at times was boring. sturt just did what they had to do, get the 2 points and now look to the centrals game to see where they stand for this year.

Nothing new there. Perhaps its time the SANFL considered mandatory pschycological testing for the umps, i.e. sit them down in fornt of a TV screen hooked up to heart and brain activity monitors then show them photos of various league players...

Backwell
The Gowans
Chambers

They have tried this, but the thing overloaded when they showed a picture a Paul Lindsay. Must have had some effect because he did get a free kick the next week.

[Bully]

another week and another loss to the legs.

[fish]

Can someone remind me to never, ever, under any circumstances, ever tip Norwood to win again.

[am Bays]

I was going to make this comment after watching Norwood v west but thought, "nup not my place to make comment on another clubs coach". After the Glenelg game I thought, "nup, just rubbing Norwood fans noses in it - keep your thought to yourself" but after last night (and read Norwood supporters comments on here and Redleg talk) if ever a coach has "lost" his players it is Trevor Hill.

Now you can argue ad neuseum the reasons why and should the tail wag the dog but seriously what can be gained by keeping him on??

People have bagged my club for sacking coaches and the turmoil it creates but surely keeping a lame duck coach is just as harmful. Maybe just maybe there was a method in our madness - hmmm I doubt it though....

[dedja]

that may all be true am bays, but then there was the central game where they were a tad unlucky to lose ... not sure what has happened as they have been abyssmal since then.

[Rik E Boy]

we stink!
we stink!
we stink!

My last comment on this as I don't know why I really care about Norwood anyway ...

Now paraphrasing comments from their own supporters, if Norwood are so bad, the coach is a dead man hanging in the breeze, the club has no money and the players aren't committed, then why don't we fold the club, just bulldoze the other side of Woods St, and return the competition to an even no. of teams with no bye and have a 21 game season where we play each other 3 times a year and have a final 4?

You really wanna cost yourself 2-3 guaranteed wins a year??

So Chambers got a rough trot from the umps,every time I see ud play him it seems the other way around,like in last years final he kicked the first three goals of the game from gimme free kicks including a penalty that put him dead in front.
Not that a guy of his calibre needs any help!
But thats the nature of the beast with a high profile full forward that gets plenty of attention......one day it will go his way,then for some reason unbeknown to anyone but the umpires they will pick in his favour.
Obviously the Sturt guys see plenty of him,and see a lot of what happens in to regards as to how the umps generally approach him.
You ask an oppositon supporter and they will say he gets a ride,you ask a Double Blues guy and he will tell you he gets a rough trot.

[Sojourner]

Cheer up Norwood supporters, you will get to play South soon enough!

Funny that it's Constance Perm making the noise about Chambo getting a raw deal. Last time I checked, his profile says he's a Norwood supporter.

Perhaps you are fortunate that geniearses such as yourself didn't say the same 5hit after the magnifcent start to the Yabs SANFL career....56 straight losses! Despite our well documented problems We've won 8 flags to 3 since WWII and our last flag was 11 years more recent than yours. We've been ordinary for a decade, you've been ordinary for the majority of your existence...perhaps it is you girls who should **** off.

Problem is, you are the blokes who might be looking forward to it! 2004 all over again!

For all the people who want to kick Norwood at the moment, lets not take the spotlight way from Luke Norman

For a side most including myself thought would struggle with the players they lost "Luke Norman" has done a fantastic job so far as a first year coach
