CENTRAL DISTRICTS V NORWOOD ROUND2 -2019

RD 2
CD V NW
Ponderosa Oval
6/4/2019

CD walloped in round 1 by SA
NW just pipped GL with a late surge in the final qtr v GL

Im tipping NW by 29 points
NW 13-15
CD 9-10

I think the BIG oval will suit NW with their star studded injury free midfield
I am expecting a committed and competitive CD after the Carlunga performance
Might be tight early, question is will CD be able to maintain pressure for the total game ?
I think NW will win the second half, and take the 2 points

You would think Norwood but its too early after just one game has been played to know how we are travelling. Wouldnt be surprised if its a lot closer than people may think.
Norwood are suspect kicking goals and if the Dogs kick accurately they are in with a good chance.

I witnessed both teams first hand last week, Central will give a yelp but won’t sustain it & Norwood by at least 7 goals but it could easily be doubled, they just gave up last week

Mannyredleg you are being way to cautious everything that Bayman says is spot on .I hope we just have a crack and a 4 goal loss will be a good effort.Simply we are not good enough with what we showed last week.

Can't see Centrals winning either,unfortunately that home ground advantage doesn't mean much if you don't have the talent.
No quality key forward,a 19 year old ruckman who's not ready for league footy and an average backline.
When will Roy stop picking Haydon,he's too small and offers no rebound from the backline.
I'd like to see O'Gorman picked instead of him

Surely we cant expect Tim Auckland to compete on his own against Baulderstone huge ask for a 19yr old.

You'd hope not,maybe M.White will come in.
I still don't understand why we recruited 3 ruckman.
South lost Brooksby and picked up one ruckman

Fair enough to recruit a young ruckman if no local talent ready but after losing Fort to Geelong I would have thought Hannath should have been retained (not aware of any issues between player/coaches).
I watched the South game over a couple of times and Menzel looked dangerous when he was given decent service. Most of the service by mids and back flankers into forward line was pretty substandard and boarded on panicking. That would be the key area they need drastic improvement on. Saying that, I thought South looked skilled and organised and might just have a better year than some have suggested.
I was surprised to see Hanna and McKenzie in the two's, are either or both coming back from preseason setbacks? I think Hanna can play either end of the ground and McKenzie coupled with Menzel could just cause some serious headaches forward with a fair share of service.
It's not all doom and gloom but the squad has definitely got some work ahead of them.

Why all the panic with Centrals after 1 match. Many sides with struggle at souths ground. Central had a good preseason and at the Ponderosa will cause problems to all sides.

It’s one thing to be beaten at any ground, however it is another thing to just give up which I witnessed first hand last week by Central, I’m sure they’ll improve as the season goes on but for right now between what I saw last week in comparing Central & Norwood was like chalk and cheese

Think from memory Centrals accounted for North comfortably in round 1 last season? Things can change - and quickly - over the course of the season. I'm sure we'll see a response from Central, and I think Norwood are questionable under high pressure levels. If Norwood are able to execute properly though, you'd think they might have a few too many weapons. Interesting game coming up.

Reddog Isaya McKenzie was coming off injury dont know about Sam Hanna.

Last time the 2 sides met at Norwood Oval , this was the result

8-0 Josh Glenn
7-11 Central Districts

Hopefully Roy will pay a little more respect to Norwoods mids.
Last week just let Cross and Liddle do what they wanted.
I'm predicting more of the same,Grigg,Panos and Johnston will have over 100 possessions between them

Norwood should win this comfortably you'd think. Even the wide expanses of the Ponderosa wont stop them having a 5+ goal win.

Norwood by 10 goals

If we play like last week it will be at least that and more.

Good to hear Chris Kendall calling the sanfl today (this year ?) with respect to the other commentators of the sanfl Chris is by far the best, most accurate & most knowledgeable commentator in the business

On a side note I watched the replay of the game last night & I’m sorry but Peter Walsh (who I liked as an abc commentator) & Ali Evans were deplorable

Never happy to lose but to go down by only 3 pts was a great effort against Norwood .

Where was the fourth quarter effort early & last week?

Good response to their first 7 quarters of the season

CD 3-4...3-6...5-9...12-14
NW 4-2..9-3..12-8...13-11

CD 7-5 NW 1-3 in the last quarter
CD had a shot , a behind , the siren sounded seconds after
How much did that shot miss by ?

not by much according to 'the app' (sounded a lot like John Nankivell) commentator, it was kicked by Murray Stephenson who is usually a very good kick

Very kind words Bayman and I appreciate it, but many good SANFL commentators bringing the game to listeners. Between SEN, Life FM, Seven and the Digital Pass, great to see many options for fans.
