NORWOOD V PORT ADELAIDE ROUND 4 -2019

NW V PA
Norwood Oval
Thursday Night 18/4/2019
7:20pm start

Norwood are undefeated, are playing Port Adelaide who have won 2 of 3 games
Norwood will be without Mitchell Grigg, who was reported and suspended , and now cant win a 3rd MaGriggarey Medal

Bit of a task for Port Adelaide
Norwood played Sturt on 12/4 and have a 7 day break
Port Adelaide played North Adelaide on 14/4 and and back up after a 5 day break

Norwood have narrowly beaten GL[5] CD [3] ST [5]  in their 3 wins in 2019
Perhaps a 3 point win for NW to create a sequence of sorts

Nope. No idea how Norwood will do in this game.
Have we been lucky so far or do we win close games because of talent.
We will find out tomorrow but with our lack of scoring ability our defence better be on song.
Hope Brady Dawe is fit because he is our only tall in the forward lines who may be able to kick goals.

Motlop in for Magpies

Here's BOTH teams line-ups:

NORWOOD
Norwood has regained two vital players for its clash with Port at The Parade on Thursday night.

Star midfielder Matthew Nunn (illness) and triple premiership forward Brady Dawe (hip) have recovered to be included in the Redlegs’ 23-man squad.

Nunn’s presence takes on more importance in the absence of dual Magarey Medallist Mitch Grigg, who accepted a one-match ban at the SANFL Match Review Panel for striking Sturt’s Steven Slimming on Friday night.

Promising youngster Dylan Stephens is on duty with the AFL Academy, paving the way for another two possible RAA Rookies in Brodie Carroll (19, 186cm and 77kg) and Cameron Taheny (18, 185cm and 80kg).

Carroll, a mdeium-sized defender, and Taheny, a medium-sized forward, have both been named on the extended interchange bench.
