How is a bloke like that not the dominant figure he should be?? He has the size (and pace for it) and has plenty of ability IMHO, almost seems like something's not right there!!
SP - It's a trial game mate, I would have thought there were more things to be critical of than a BBQ stall not being open, and as for the Oval and lighting being a sham, perhaps we should have played at Unley last night??
MST - Norwood had plenty of outs, Hill, Duigan, Aish, Nicholas, McDonnell, De Jong, Pfeiffer, Campbell, Meeson (last few AFL listed I know, but will play most of year with us), Gibbo (was showered by 1/2 time) ... A good run with injury and we will play much better than last night.
Sturt have some good players ... Can't remember names but number 50 looked lively and number 12 (the Riewoldt lookalike - from a distance anyway) looks to have good ability.
Plenty of outs? Which of those norwood outs are very strong chances to be selected next thursday that didnt play ressies last friday night.
Duigan, Aish, Nicholas and De Jong would be selected next Thurs I would imagine, depending upon injury status ... The others mentioned won't be selected due to injury, not being taken by their AFL clubs and they will see plenty of gametime at Norwood this year imo.
MST ... No bias whatsoever
As always it's hard to guage from a trial game, and also on Sturt's behalf a new coach with new systems ... I thought Sturts use of the ball, especially in the back half was concerning and reminded me of the bad Norwood methods of the past few years (something which I seriously hope is erradicated this year), hopefully they can straighten that out because I was impressed with all of your players endeavour, committment and courage.
The way i read your comment Constance is that Hill, Duigan, Aish, Nicholas, McDonnell, De Jong, Pfeiffer, Campbell, Meeson are all in your best 21, so I would love to know the 9 players norwood would leave out for them if they were all available. I can gaurantee that Whiteman, Sheedy, Nelson, McLeay, Feast, Crane, Brooks and Bentley are all in our best 21 and atleast 6 of them will play for us against westies. I believe our run from defence will improve
But it was more than a victory for Greece. It was a stirring example to free people throughout the world of what a few brave men can accomplish once they refuse to submit to tyranny.
