Rd 1 Norwood v Sturt @ Norwood Oval Thursday 28/3 7.40pm

[Wedgie]

Norwood and Sturt kick off proceedings on Thursday Night.
Both clubs are undefeated in the trial games, Sturt coming off a great 2023 when they just fell short in the GF and Norwood looking a big improvers.
Should be a great game with a big crowd.

Be interesting to see which is the most popular.

If it was cooler I would say RM’s but with a warm day the birks/crocs combine will be there in large numbers.

Sturt look a very settled solid from last year. Expecting them to get up in a close one*.

*If they can contain Callow

Birks and socks will be the go I reckon.

[MannyK]

Sturt are more settled so should get the points.

Norwood will take time to accommodate all the new players but I expect a big improvement after a few games.

Go Legs!

Quote from "Trial games thread

Mods.

I believe that top photo has been altered and should be removed.

As Doc doesn't like altered photos I won't be posting photos of final Norwood league and reserves scores as I need to alter them to fit onto these pages. Instead a random photo from the Web image library will be used instead.

Strut by 22pts.

Nice price for NW at home

[DOC]

Sturt by 4 goals

[locky801]

Sturt a class above Norwood and should win by 5 goals

Hard viewing the game via stream. Very dark.

[Pseudo]

Dark in the pockets and on the outer boundary but fine elsewhere.

The annoying boundary advertising was hocking Burley footballs. I thought the SANFL was using Sherrins this year?

The 15 minutes I've seen have been of a good standard.

Sturt premiership favs with some bookies, what a joke

[Jim05]

Watching from Dubai, really impressed with the standard and early days but our game plan looks a lot better already. This comp will suit the way Billy plays and he has been a great addition

Really? On SANFL Now app? It’s more than adequate from my perspective..
