2013 SANFL GRAND FINAL Norwood v Nth Adelaide

[Rik E Boy]

Some Centrals supporters are undoubtably suffering from RDS ... Relevance Deprivation Syndrome

They must have partied on a bit too much as many of those Dogs' Grand Finals were not that memorable from a neutrals point of view. How many of the dirty dozen were actually good games? Naturally the Doggies will say nearly all of them but there were plenty of duds too.

Sorry Hammers but no non Dogs fan would remember the 2004 snorefest, unless they happen to be massive stats nerds.

You said it Jim05.
All players were in Norwoods half of the ground.
Absolute garbage football. In the last quarter Warren was at half back.....WHY???
Time to change the rules

Last quarter it was time just to take the piss and run down the clock.
He had already kicked 2 goals for the quarter, the game was done and dusted so for the last 10 minutes Norwood just chipped it around inside our back half

Which any smart side would have done!

Exactly
2000 was an absolute snore fest, only memorable to Dogs fans as their first premiership.
Dogs played in their fair share of forgettable GF's

Agree!

as far as a contest it won't be remembered but it will be in the history books forever now and no doubt the answer to a question a quiz night here and there

Like I said since 2000 I think there may only be 5 GF's that ever get mentioned in 20-50 years time.

Do they normally have the kids presenting the medals?

Yep my son gave C Gowans his in 2009

Was a defensive slog, but unlike last year North were right in it for most of the match and should have pulled almost level in the 3rd.

Norwood too good though and well deserved flag.

Great crowd, makes you wonder why the comp needs the AFL parasites after a day like today.

2008 would have been worse.

Bottom line is that coaches do whatever it takes to win ... It's the result that goes into the record book not how they do it.

Game plans change over time and someone will come up with the next best thing, hopefully soon!

[Dutchy]

Could of happened in 2009 if we didnt blow* the lead against Sturt

[dedja]

Was half expecting to be allowed to my seat and a square foot of the turf home ... piss poor SANFL.

[rod_rooster]

Whatever floats your boat i guess. If that's really the best thing you can do with your time though it's a bit of a worry.

HAHA! What's the difference between being on this forum, and being on another one?

You can't see the difference? Really? Would you not think it slightly odd if i spent my time trawling through forums of other clubs just for the chance to hang shit on them if they happen to make and lose a GF?

I got a goal post and half the Southern Coaches Box.

Just have to go and pick it up at 2.30am on Tuesday Morning - in the dark, stealth like.

I hope they don't read this thread.

[dedja]

I've got first dibs on the Tony Hall pocket ...

[Dutchy]

Thought the umps in both the ressies and league were pretty good also

[dedja]

Agreed, although I didn't think Deboy's efforts was worth a million dollars though.

[maxyoz]

Talk about "putting a house" on the result.

Did he even realise at 3/4 time it was him who won the Greatest Footy Raffle thing?

[The Sleeping Giant]

Well done Norwood. Great team. Too much talent and well drilled.

Was anyone else disappointed with the lack of pre-game and 1/2 time entertainment today for spectators. Given it was the final GF at Footy Park I thought it was cheap by the SANFL. At least they tried something different last year with the Rolling Stones coverband. Admission price must have been straight profit today! (I know there were 1000s of freebies but there were 1000s of paying spectators too).

Geez, weren't you happy with the singing mascots at 1/2 time, mini-league game, touch football oldies running around and the big announcement that the house lottery would be drawn at 3/4 time ? It's so hard to please you guys

The SANFL marketting department must have planned this for months !

I go to the footy for the footy, rather they bought a round of beers for me and my mates instead of paying for game day entertainment.

The football and occasion should be enough

Speaking of mascots, I still can't work out why Garry Lyon persists in coming out to Norwood games.
