Friday 22 April
Coopers Stadium

Reserves: 4:55pm
League: 2:10pm

Norwood hung on against Glenelg in a thriller, while Sturt inflicted more misery on West. Who will win this big clash on the Parade Friday night.

at least 2 outs, maybe another one out for Norwood may bring it closer together, however & i'd like Scrappys' view as he saw both teams play over this most recent weekend as did i & i think the standard & speed of the Fridays game was far superior to yesterdays & therefore i'll tip Norwood to win but i'll bring the margin back to 5 goals

Norwood by 40

Sturt have a useful looking team and Osborne will make Baulderstone work. I think Norwood, despite losing Bode, Dawe and Webber injury have too much depth and will win by 20 points.

Haven't seen Sturt so hard to make an informed assessment. However they look very strong in the midfield whilst Norwood will miss Tim Webber. Think Sturt will get more than their fare share of opportunities, so will tip them in a bit of an upset by 13 points.

Norwood had a few good players out
But to be 6-2[38] to 1-4[10] in front and lose was disappointing
Sturt came off a 5 day break , I had expected Norwood to be finishing off the better
When Norwood did lead by that 28 points, I was expecting a 60 + win

Norwoods 2 goals in the last half were gifts
One from a FAD
The other when about 3-4 Sturt defenders lined up to mark to a ball deep in defence, the one that attempted the mark dropped a sitter , and Norwood scrapped a goal

Kory Beard the match winner for Sturt
Alex Villis the future for Norwood, an impressive debut
