Round 10: West v Norwood, Saturday 8 June @ City Mazda Stadium

Each to their own ,although not surprised you took an opposite view.The majority of footy supporters found it boring a few years back and expressed such. More vocal were the media and even more the past champions of the game . The defensive game ,as stated ,went out a few years back. My comments are how it is and not about appeasing posters I suppose. Just my views .

As is always the case the team that decides to atttack usually wins footy games as has been proven over many many years.

A solid defence has always been the cornerstone of attack. A rebounding half back line is imperative. I'd much prefer a good attacking game of footy than a slug fest. I'm also only talking footy , not Hockey , Gridiron or whatever.

Pretty much as good as it gets for the time being.

Bode stiffens up out backline to close to best and Renouf will win the rucks for us giving our on ballers and center line players first use.

Stevenson will be just that much better at understanding our game and I expect him to contribute much more than we saw last week.

Congrats to young Bampton has been tearing it up in the Magoo's and deserves his chance to do his bit.

Its nice to have the position of scratching your head as to leave out of the named side, Kirwan, Smart (both from our GF side in 2013), Rooke who is always just one step outside of our team and Craig Evans who is a real hard nut in and under.

Cheers,

Going to be a cracker - Looking forward to another Redleg victory!!!

See you gents there

Wouldnt be so sure that Renouf will outpoint Lobbe. Will be interesting to see whether West exploit the height advantage they look to possess or whether Norwood could make them look top heavy. All people at both clubs that ive spoken with feel this game is shaping up to be a belter. Lets hope either way that is how it turns out.

If each team is at its best, it should be a great game.

Looking forward to it. It will be all about whether West can work around Norwood's press.

Very few teams can.

I just hope the crowd behaves,not like the last game.Fights don't belong at footy.

Fit Collo with a leash and mussel, plus remember when a player is obviously injured and laying on the ground, that isn't a signal to run in and give him a belting.

Do that and you can guarantee a non fighting game.

Cheers,

I think correctly it should be a muzzle for Collo, a leash for Bassett and handcuffs for Bode

I think Bundy was referring to supporters not fighting.

Stands to reason, no fighting on the ground, no fighting off the field, and if I can keep my spelling correct no forum issues

No, fit him with a mussel by all means. 1) He likes seafood, and 2) He can stick the shell to the back of his head for protection.

Would suit him as long as he's still able to give out a spray/threats to the opposition.

At least the Norwood player can wait until he's not in a headlock facing the other way, bc.

Maybe he should've waited until he was on his hands and knees injured.

Crowd violence.

The inclusion of Fergusson and Schmidt will help the Bloods from the ANZAC Day game

nothing wrong with a little 'BIFFO' at the footy

Thought I was at football park for a minute. The west adelaide wagons circle well

?

Just a bit of banter, Scrunch, where bc finished well.

On a more serious note, what can you tell us about the new player for Norwood this week?

Not sure who the new player is but if he isnt defensively sound Id be surprised.

Yes, fair comment. I was referring to Bampton.

Let's hope both teams are at their best. If so, it will be a really good game.

Can someone tell me where Bryce Campbell is at..??

Bryce was due to have half a game in the Magoo's this week-end but jagged a hammy at training, not serious, so precaution was applied probably 2-3 weeks more now
