Last time they met

Round 9 @ Coopers Stadium

Norwood 14.15.99
Sturt 8.5.53

Sturt are coming off a solid win over Port, while Norwood had the week off, but the week before belted Glenelg.  Which side will continue their winning form?

Norwoods back half has restricted most teams scoring abilities this season, Saturday against the Blues at Envestra Pk will be no different.

At this early stage the Legs by 28 - 32 points.

Norwood by at least 8 goals

might be closer than a lot of people think.
Go legs

Norwood absolutley poleaxed Sturt,

Norwood 9.12 (66)

Sturt 2.8 (20)

Very strong away win to the Redlegs, James Aish (son of Andrew Aish) is an absolute gun and I suspect will be one of the early picks taken in the AFL draft. Lots to like about him, yet was well supported by his team mates.

Sturt struggled and could not make momentum and made a pigs breakfast of early opportunities to score. Not sure what the crowd was, but looked down in terms of Sturt supporters.

It is so frustrating watching the number of inside 50s that come back out so quick.

Quite simply, our forwards are lazy footballers not working much harder than A1 amateurs.

McIntyre needs to have an extensive spell in the 2s. Almost certain to be delisted by the Crows.

Funny you say pigs breakfast BenW. We coined a term last week about not "pig rooting" about with the ball. And there was lots of that today.

We do work hard in the close in defensive stuff, but I just can't handle that Maloney has not been able to improve the 2 obvious major deficiencies.

1 Working to space to present in the forward line
2 Defensive transition

If there is a third area, and yes there is.
Why on a wet day, do you persist with handball after handball after handball?

Fair dinkum, we are a brittle, lazy and not smart team against anyone who offers a proper gameplan.

So frustrating watching today.

Crowd would have been 50/50 I would have thought.
Only an average crowd. Maybe 2500? Bit not bad for the cold blizzard conditions.
