Rd10 Eagles v Norwood game review

[ElizabethVCRThief]

Suprise suprise we got smashed again in the middle , i guess when you hardly recruit since the flag its inevitable ! i dont know why our coach / board are so tight financially , its not like we needed alot , two or three gun mature types who hunt the ball aggressively and can give our youngsters confidence and leadership . Honestly , most of our leaders are getting on in age and there is a big gap to the kids . Poor overall planning by the club ! Its too easy to say ...oh but we are playing kids for the future etc . etc. ( centrals never say that , its all about flags ! ! ) . Im sure we are reaping what we have sown .Enough of this fairy is a joke and a poor excuse for a FOOTBALLER and playing your best forwards in the back lines whos idea of a laugh is that ! ha ha . May be we should have spent some $ $ $ $ $ $ $ .

Well I for one have always been on the side that never judges the coach neber bad mouths players.
BUT I AM SO PISSED OFF!!!
FIRSTLY lets get the tape of that s***t game and make the so called players sit in a freezing cold room for 2 odd hours and make them watch their own s***t .What a frigging disgrace from AFL listed delisted and wannbes and never will be's.
Secondly the coach must fall on his sword yes I am repeating myself from another post (that was tounge in cheek this is not ) Against Port fell asleep after the first 2 goals against Centrals fell asleep after 3/4 time against North fell asleep after 3/4 time against Norwood first 2 goals and then fell asleep. A pattern is emerging here .Players selected and played out of position up until this week WWT have selected 4 players who play at full forward this week 3 and 2 started down back!!
What has happened with recruiting when WWT recruit they bloody well go home after a month or so money well spent .
What is going on in the seconds nothing thats what against north after 1/4 time the seconds kicked 3 goals 9 points this week they improved after 1/4 time kicked 4 goals 10 points.No wonder the league play s***t nothing to push them!!!

I am so frigging angry I am so frigging mad I never go on footy sites after a loss but that was the death of the woodville west torrens football club for 2008 .And yes the hoodoo continues years ending in 8 WWT never make the finals 1998 and now 2008!!
And just so you know it was me offering to pay a certain blonde wingmans bus fair home to victoria and I normally enjoy his games .

Bloody disgrace of a once great club it should have built something after 2006 but instead we bury them in 2008.
That's it game over
Tomorrow I go bloody fishing watch out fish I am so pissed off!!!!!
And sorry mods for the language !!!
Frigging football hate the bloody game.

Come on mate. I know you're upset at todays result, but WWT have never been a great club

This is a serious question - has Passador ever won a hard ball? He got some real soft decisions in the 1st qtr. One good win does not make a season and the jury is still out on Trevor Hill IMHO. However he hope he can prove us all wrong and get Norwood back to were we belong, playing finals footy.

As a full forward who regularly kicks goals, does he need to?

And a very valid one. Great on the lead but not so flash after that , no Brant Chambers re contested ball . Oh wow , the Eagles . What happens when they consistently finish outside the top 5 . I have always said it spells big trouble for them as they have a very small number of supporters now . They have lost a few this year and they want the coaches head. To be quite honest , they are an interesting supporter base , with little idea.

Fair call Spelly, my mind hasn't changed since the last time we played you guys, the key is to reduce the space in which he has to work and quality of ball he receives .. He took a coupla marks today on Zorsi and IMHO there's no way you could blame Zorb, he was wearing him like a glove but with the ball in front of him Passodors hands were clean enough to take the grab.

Rather than you being the subject of one of my very rare outbursts on this site, I think I'll leave it up to anyone else, particularly those who are still waiting for their $1,000 windfall from last year.

[OCT]

Wasnt talking about you , just your supporter base in general . its how I see it . Not sure about your point about $ 1000 ? Unless you are insinuating I am Sturt 1 (i think that was his name going by bay supporters?? ) If so , mate stand on your own 2 feet and stop trying to get back up from others . I AM NOT THAT BLOKE . Can't people on this site read a comment and respond accordingly , or is it like litlle clicks that have to come into bat when we are not even talking about their side ??? You know who you are . . Quit pathetic and lost the whole point of sites like these. ... Opinions.

Well, ok, you asked for it. Firstly, again, when a player kicks 35 goals in 6 matches, does he need to win the hard ball? Is that the job of a full-forward? Just because your man Chambers does it does not mean that it's a pre-requisite for every full-forward in the comp to be like him. Both players have Ken Farmer Medals, both are premiership players.

Supporters - according to a more reliable source, cd, we have the same amount of members as last time this year. "with little idea" who are you looking at to make this generalisation? The cheer squad no doubt. Well we all know the exploits of the Sturt cheer squad, don't we?

And yes, I am insinuating that you are sturt1, and it's not just me or Glenelg fans that say it, there are more than that who know.

So what does happen when a team consistently finishes outside the top 5 ? 1989 to 1996 is a good example. Answers anyone ?

[OCT]

Well , do you think they would survive winning 8 spoons in a row ?

[MightyEagles]

Underage results.

U17s
Norwood 1.4 11.5 16.10 24.11.155
Eagles 7.7 13.9 15.11 17.14.116

U19s
Norwood 5.4 5.11 7.16 15.20.110
Eagles 1.0 6.2 8.2 9.3.57

Both 17s and 19s are still in the 5.

[CK]

A few stats from the game that may be of interest:

Marks inside attacking 50: W/WT 9, Norwood 22

Centre breaks: W/WT 17, Norwood 16.

Inside 50: W/WT 45, Norwood 41.


Spell_Check: Out of interest, is Taylor Walker the youngest player to kick 9 or more goals in a senior SANFL match?

[Rik E Boy]

i wonder what all those norwood people who wanted trevor hill sacked after the glenelg game are saying now?

I not that excited Stampy, after all NWs last 3 wins have only been against sides below them on the ladder....

I'm just happy that there ARE three sides below us on the ladder!

[bayman]

in the preview i said to expect a response (not necessarily a win) & norwood did that perhaps the debacle of 2 weeks ago may just be the spur norwood need (similar to glenelg 4 years ago), i'm annoyed i didn't have a little bit on norwood at the points south also showed some response yesterday but why do teams need these things to perform at a better level than they were in the first place ?


so the questions beckon
are norwood better than most would think ?
are the eagles struggling enough to miss the 5 ?
is it only a 3 horse race ?
are the other 6 teams just jostling for position on the ladder ?

[JK]

Fair question Bayman ... Where Norwood are at, IMHO, can only be answered after we see how they perform against Central, Sturt, Glenelg, North and Eagles for the remainder of the season, ie, the benchmarks ... Thats not intended to show disrespect to the other clubs, more to ascertain whether Norwood are any better than a team who pinches the odd win against the better teams and goes alright against fellow strugglers.

We were still very reliant on our AFL listed players yesterday and we need to find the consistency to be competetive every single week, as opposed to just here and there.

WWT finish outside the top five last time was 1998
Been in the top five every year since so that shoots your post down.
Why do we WWT supporters want change no good recruiting since 2006.We get recruits who are hacks or argue with the coach and go home.
Senior players who retire just before the first game of the year ie Peddler .
Coach who trains the team 5 nights a week preseason to be fitter than 2007 .To me as a fan with "no idea " the team appears flat .Plan "A" only works against Sturt for some reason and plan"B" almost worked against North in the last half of round 1 and not seen since .If your saw that game you would know what I am talking about.
No back line worth talking about . Tall forwards and wingman forced to play as key backmen .Small forwards forced to play as midfielders because WWT have no second string midfielders when Treeby and Powell get tired the midfield goes missing.
Mackenzie back after a knee op 3 weeks ago he looked out of it.
We kick the ball to Passador and no one else if Fitzy is having a bad day only Passador kicks a bag.
So as a fan with no idea who sits in the G/S with other fans who have no idea do I need to go on.

OCT I suppose you liked Phillips and Carmen as Coaches ?
This year reminds me very much of Bruce Winters last year !!

gathering momentum, judging by your "re-discovering" of the SANFL forum...

[n-redlegs]

Come on mate. I know you're upset at todays result, but WWT have never been a great club

Beat me 2 it haha

Well done to Norwood looked hungry all day, but so far this year seems like a 3 horse race. After seeing Glenelg last week, showed the gap between Norwood and the top 3. Yet i will still be happy as long as Norwood keeps notching up wins like yesterday and can see some September action.

The only redeeming thing is Norwood did the very same thing to the EAGLES last year at thebbie.
