Round 15: Norwood v West - Friday 20 July @ Coopers Stadium

Norwood v West
Friday 20 July
Coopers Stadium

Reserves: 4:50pm
League: 7:20pm

Both sides go into this game with solid wins after blowing their opponents away in the last quarter. Who will blow the other side away this week?

I'm still not over the loss to them last time. Norwood are about as good as there is at the moment, though we've gone okay against them of late. If we win it I think we'll make the finals.

Big game this, I know behind closed doors at the Parade that West are very highly rated, so hopefully the Norwood players don't get caught dining out on last weeks performance because Westies are a real good side in the making and are as honest as the day is long. Both sides need the win pretty badly so should be a good contest.

Looking forward to Friday night should be a great game

Will Glenn play Scrunch?

Presume so, did he cop an injury last week?

Listed as having a calf and needing a test. Sounds like a pregnant cow.

Jokes aside I'm not sure mate, hopefully he'll be right to go

Norwood are in top spot as of Friday night !

I feel like we didn't get much of an opportunity to even play badly last night, Norwood just took over and shut us out. The combination of Baulderstone and those mids is very potent. You might go better against them if you can smother Baulderstone's silver platter tap work.
