Second Semi Final - Norwood v Central District

[Spargo]

Sunday, September 8th - 15:15 Adelaide Oval

[gazzamagoo]

Central to battle hard all day, up against the Boyd but I think Norwood will prevail by 7 or 8 goals.

[dedja]

Central District!!

Not going for your ‘home’ team?

[southernbulldog]

Gazzamagoo hopefully we get closer than that
Norwood have been ,far to good for us this season.
To come from where we have 2 seasons ago
with just 4 wins to get to a Prelim the club has done extremely well.
We know we will get smashed in the ruck just hope we can be competitive in other areas.
Unlike the wins against Glenelg & Sturt if we give Norwood that sort of start we will get belted .

[northerner]

Full marks to the coaching group who managed to have us negate the best midfield in the comp despite not having a ruckman and with no Grant.
Also cut down the Blues uncontested marks from over 90 to less than 50.

Now they face the task of how to reduce Boyds influence
It's not as if you get our mids to read his taps... often he just grabs the ball in ruck and creates his own clearance.

Lange and possibly Liddy could receive a call up, although it would be hard to drop anyone from last weekend
(Well almost anyone!)

Our cause would be helped if Callow doesn't make it back, but I think we are undoubtedly underdogs again.
Not that that deters these warriors.

[Spargo]

Norwood - $1.30
Centrals - $3.20

[northerner]

Norwood - $1.30
Centrals - $3.20

That's shorter odds than we were against Sturt...

Lange, Liddy and Howe have been added to last week's 22.
Lange is definite.
Callow and Hamilton ins for Norwood

[DOC]

Centrals by 3 goals

[MannyK]

Strong Norwood line-up.

Legs by 4 goals.

[Mic]

I have a couple free tickets for tomorrow if anyone wants them.

[southernbulldog]

Hopefully we make it a contest today.Norwood are a super side and realistically to get within 3 -4 goals
will be a good effort.We know Boyd will smash us in ruck so hopefully we can do well around the ground ,unlike
the games against Glenelg & Sturt if we give Norwood a 5 goal start we wont get back .

[Hazydog]

Looking at who played ressies for Norwood yesterday am I correct saying that one will drop out from the named onfield 18?

Yep

[northerner]

3 changes for the Dogs with Howe, Liddy and Lange all IN.
Two dropped and one late withdrawal.

Can we please nominate Callow as being the Norwood player to drop out from their 23?

Why would you win the toss and then elect to kick into the wind?

Why would you win the toss and then elect to kick into the wind?

Maybe in case the Dogs storm home again like last week? Maybe radar shows early rain? Maybe Cotchin gave a pre-game address?

NFI tbh mate

Agree
Cant believe it

[JK]

Dogs handling the ball much, much cleaner than us early on

[JK]

Dogs mids positioning well to Harry’s ruckwork
