Qualifying Final - Norwood v Sturt @ AO (Sat T 30/8)

[Panther Pack]

just wondering with the good weather what will the crowd figures be like for the double header ?

Reckon it could be over 20,000!!!

Good weather, New Stadium, could be massive!!!!!!!

Your relentless trotting out of the same agenda in post after post is so tiresome GG.

With 4:40pm on a Saturday being the shittest of football timeslots then I reckon 5-6k will show up for both games.

Is there a club sanctioned march?
What soccer pre game entertainment are we ripping off?
Do we get free tshirts paid for by the AFL?
And at what time after the match does the club drum up outrage in its supporters over concerns with the stadium deal?
These are pivotal elements in attending games of football these days I'm led to believe.

[Booney]

Norwood by 48 points.

[Wedgie]

Going to be hard for Sturt to win this, we always struggle to overcome the flooding, dour football of Norwood and West. We have some players that are woefully out of form and some that just don't seem interested in doing the hard yards.

Dour footy but we have a higher percentage??
We're going to smash Strut!!

You aware of how percentage works?
Norwood have only scored more than Glenelg, Central and West this year!
Even North and the Crows reserves have scored more!

Norwoods form at Adelaide Oval not good this year.

Is there an after game concert somewhere? Will the wifi ever work here? God, that Crow noise they pipe in is loud. Ooh, look three big telly screens. At least they kept the scoreboard and the Hill. God, town will be busy tonight, the shops will be happy. Apparently the line up at the Kings Head is huge. Should we go yet, getting over the bridge is crowded? Cas?

Norwood by 17 points.

Fixed.

Think Norwood will be too strong. Their later season form has been far more consistent than Sturt's. Would like to see Sturt get up, but the more I think about it I think it'll be Norwood by 5 or 6 goals.

Not the fish I thought would bite!!
I know how %age works.

Will we be told when to clap and how loudly? Will the Eddie* pocket be colour coded?

Will crowd noise be amplified through the speakers? And will they count me as being there because I am a member of an SANFL club?

[dedja]

Should be a cracker.

Head says Norwood but heart says Sturt.

I'm going for an upset and backing the double blues in a close one.

Whatever the result the same song will be played.

Not feeling particularly confident today, although that's nothing unusual for me. Just have a feeling the quick legs of Sturt might cause us a few problems in the perfect conditions, and they might run the game out better than us. Find out soon enough I guess.

[maccad]

Over the last 2 months we has been the form team of the competition. I know we can beat any team that is playing in this years finals series it just depends on which team turns up, the straight kicking for goal norwood or the inaccurate norwood. Many times this year we have kicked more points than goals. Every week we seem to have one really dominant match winning quarter it just depends on whether we kick straight or not, alberton oval a couple of weeks ago classic example game should have been over at 1/4 time if we had kicked straight. Confident we can win, hopefully our finals experience over the last 4 years get us through.

Your going to be way off. It will be double that at least

[JK]

One for the ages that game, not. Sturt found the vacant spaces and looked to dominate centre clearances, but Norwood were saved by their rock solid defence and perhaps slightly better ball use at crucial times. That said, both teams had their chances to win it imho. Couldn't fault the committment or effort from both sets of players today.

[CUTTERMAN]

Yep, well summed up JK. Our effort was good enough to win, we didn't take our chances, Norwood's cleaner ball movement forward came out better. Scrappy game.

[SANFLnut]

Was a Bette game to watch as a neutral than the South v Eagles game. Some skill errors from both sides but was a fierce pressure game for most of it. Sturt dominated clearances and had the game up their end, but not quite on their own terms. Norwood's straighter kicking for goal was the only thing that saved them. Good players like Phillips, Panos, Davis, Newton had hardly any impact on the game for Norwood. Sturt got very little out of their best forwards Duldig, Hansen and Coad.

Sturt to beat South next week and can really worry Norwood & Port based on tonight. Norwood can certainly beat Port, so hard to know what Port will do with selection given that SANFL game is day before AFL game.

Several people returned the pizza meals tonight.
I saw one person who was snapping off the pastry, it was that hard and dry
After he said there were people returning the meals at the canteen

Even game
No one deserved to lose
When the siren sounded Norwood happened to be in front

[maccad]

Watched the replay when I got home from the game, a couple of bad turnovers were the difference from sturt winning and losing the game. TWice as many inside 50's more clearances, but disposle not as good as nwd's. I ll take the win even though we had many key players who I felt did not contribute much last nigh, so there is the upside we played sh## and still won. I am sure we will play much better next week.
