As requested I will start a seperate thread to keep the 'Official' thread discussion free.

NO-MERCY...I and several other Norwood supporters would be grateful if you could tell us where you got the information about Dave Trotter signing with Norwood as we have been unable to find any mention of it either online or amongst other club members.

Thanks in anticipation
Regards
JAS

Would be a very very good pick up if true....apart from some unfortuante injuries would still be playing regular AFL

According to the Norwood forum he was drafted at no 9 in 2003 but the Kangaroo fans and those that follow North Ballarat were suitably unimpressed with Dave Trotter's inability to get into the game in the VFL.

However, in reading the posts where this conclusion came from, the Kanga fans were not unanimous that he was no good.

I think most Roos fans where dissappointed with him as he was a No. 9 draft pick, expectations of a Top 10 draft pick are very high especially at a club that hasnt had many of them..

If he comes here with the right attitude he will be very handy

I'm referring to the posts in Bigfooty which is where the comment in the Norwood forum came from.
Its funny how you can chop a sentence in half, and by doing so change the whole context. :)

Not with ya there champ as I was agreeing with you and giving an eg to back you up.
I thought your point was that not all Kangaroo fans thought he was no good. Not sure how that got taken out of context. :?

Crikey, first Norwood supporters complain because they get some news hot off the press then they complaing because people agree with them. I hope you guys do a bit better in 08 and the mood improves! :lol:
Hate to see how grumpy you lot would be if you had to put up with crap Japanese owned beer at home games like the rest of us do. :wink:

Hope Trotter will be confirmed officially soon, sounds like a handy pick up. Apparently there'll be more news on the recruiting front announced in the next week or so as well.

At what point can Norwood's post season activities be described as a "recruiting spree"? Anyone would think we were being bankrolled by a Russian Oligarch.

Grumpy? Us? We're always happy. :D
