AH, I wear those to prevent chaffing- maybe that's the reason?


Maybe, but a lot of the players I am talking about have a history of hamstring related problems. We have too many players hesitant to put in the 100% effort for fear of breaking down again.

Norwood really need to find some players with leg speed, and a more direct approach to goal, otherwise we won't get anywhere if we manage to make the finals.

Unfortunately, in some respects Norwood are like Carlton. All this media expectation of great achievements without actually doing anything to deserve it, and the moment we run into an opponent who is half decent, we are found wanting.

Whatever happened to the time when you had to achieve something before people started singing your praises? Next week, we could end up beating West by 10 goals or more, and people at Norwood will be thinking we're the best team in the competition again. :roll:

Whether we win or lose I always think we're the best team in the competition, isn't that the role of a supporter? ;)

But seriously I know where you are coming from, but I'll pump us up continually!

To sum up .....once again Trevor Hill is out coached and we are beaten by a team that is better drilled and more decisive.
Listen to Trevor Hill talk and wonder why the team is indecisive ?

Thought Ralston umpired ok but that little blond idot had no idea and should not be allowed to ruin football like he did...goodbye dont come monday....we can umpire with two umpires thanks.

Not blaming the umpires for the loss though.
