based on watching Norwood yesterday they will be closer to finals action than the bottom 2.

Interesting times if it happens.

Of the two, I doubt Norwood will finish at the foot of the table.

That would have to mean South don't finish in the bottom two.

Willing to put any money on that bayman? ;)

I'll give you one thing -that two of these clubs' favourite sons have now suffered nightmare-like coaching careers.

Do you think Trevor Hill is really a favourite son at Norwood? His only connection to the club is coaching the Redlegs the last few years, having previously been a player at North and WT. Or are you referring to McIntosh as Norwood's favourite son?

Ginever i agree with though, unfortunately he's been found to be a fair way out of his depth.

Yes I was referring to Macca.

Getting a long way ahead of yourself with that avatar Barto. Although we are struggling at the moment we have Wets and South to play soon.

Just because you have a plethora of spoons in your cupboard it doesn't mean that in May you can start giving them away...

Your polarising suggestion deserves full points for bravery 'bayman'. ;)

Although history is against it, if my research is correct (cue-spelly), it has happened only once.
I understand 1886 saw a four team competition where the season ended as follows:
1st - Adelaide
2nd - South Adelaide
3rd - Norwood
4th - Port Adelaide

I believe that the only other time we & Port came close to bottom together,
was in the six team comp. of 1900:
4th - Norwood
5th - West Adelaide
6th - Port Adelaide

It's easy to do so in a 4 team competition though! ;)
