Should be a cracking game between this years Grand Finalists
Norwood Just at home

[pmackk]

Be interesting to see what team we roll out with a couple of injuries hopefully it’s our near full strength will need to be to win this one.

Interesting that there is a grass hill now at Norwood Oval

Did a roof blow off their grandstand?

Norwood by 27 points

[DOC]

Norwood by a goal.

[nwdfanparade]

Which ever team is least inaccurate at shots on goal. Norwood have been appalling for shots at goals for many seasons but Sturt have been inaccurate too, namely a final game I vaguely remember .

[MannyK]

Neither side at full strength.

Legs by 13.

[Spargo]

Norwood by 26 pts

How come Jack Heard is on the bench?

Thank the stars we have a ruckman this year

[Hazydog]

Both teams looking strong on paper .. but who can overlook the superbly coached Blues who week after week look highly cohesive and structured.

I’m a little bit in awe of Mattner who has proved to be an elite coach, at the very least at this level.

Big crowd. Physical game

Big crowd. Physical game

Physicality off the charts. Both sides having a fair crack.
Our mids giving us plenty of momentum but we just lack some forward structure. Sturt have some real pace and are great at picking passes through our zone

[norwood8]

Sturt with a bit more polish and time with the footy that quarter. Poor kicking for goal from Norwood isn’t helping.

I actually think we will take some weeks to gel but still aren’t too far off the pace.

Surely the speed of the game will drop a little in the second half.

[norwood8]

Also Callow out with a hand injury in the first quarter is a big loss.

[Jim05]

Also Callow out with a hand injury in the first quarter is a big loss.

Accuracy in front of goals woeful as per usual

[Jim05]

Nice hit out to start but would’ve thought we could have come up with some sort of game plan in 6 months.

[pmackk]

That is one of the best wins I’ve seen with the players we had out!
