2012 SANFL Grand Final - Norwood v West: Sunday 7 October 2012 @ AAMI Stadium
V
Sunday 7 October 2012
AAMI Stadium
3:20pm
Broadcast: ABC1, Life FM, 5RPH, ABC Radio Adelaide, 5AA
2012 previous encounters:
Round 8: Norwood 13.8.86 d West 5.9.39 (Coopers Stadium)
Round 13: Norwood 5.7.37 d West 4.12.36 (City Mazda Stadium)
Round 21: West 11.8.74 d Norwood 7.9.51 (City Mazda Stadium)
Second Semi Final: Norwood 8.13.61 d West 2.5.17 (AAMI Stadium)
After 24 rounds, and 3 weeks of finals, we are down to the Grand Final. For the first time since 1999, we'll have two different sides in the Grand Final from 2011, with Norwood and West replacing Centrals and the Eagles.
Norwood have cruised through most of the season, doing what is necessary to win (bar 2 blips against North and West), but dismantled Westies in the 2nd Semi Final. West have been the fairytale story of the SANFL in 2012. Finishing last season outside the 5 after fading badly in the second half of the 2011 season, they have grinded and gritted their way through the season, and bar that blip in the 2nd Semi Final, have had a dominant finals series.
Will Norwood's limited game time (this is their second game in five weeks) as opposed to Westies 4 straight weeks of finals come in handy for West. Will Norwood repeat what they did 2 weeks ago and claim the premiership with an ultra-defensive game plan?
All will be revealed by about 6:00 Sunday night...

Good luck to the Legs. Cant see the game being played the same way as last time they met. A close one in my opinion.

We've kicked a total of 22 goals against Norwood in 4 games this year. My conclusion from that is that we need to try a different approach up forward which should include Ferguson, Nelson and Willits at different stages, something I don't think Norwood have faced against us much this year.

The bloods need to take the game on if they have any chance of winning
Ferguson, willits ( who played mostly forward yesterday) and Fisher must play close to goal this week.
Fisher didn't find the ball against North however most of was upn the ground and was basically ineffective.
He needs to kick goals if West are to win. He hasn't kicked a goal since the final against centrals which was the
1st week in the finals

lachlan, I think Fisher was actually our 4th highest possession getter.

Grand Final results between the teams
1908
7-10 West
6-13 Norwood
1922
9-7 Norwood
2-16 West Adelaide
1947
10-15 West Adelaide
5-15 Norwood
1961
16-13 West Adelaide
11-7 Norwood
History can repeat with another low scoring encounter expected
The number 3 is a common denominator in the 4 encounters
The winning margins have been 3,33,30,36
The 1961 Grand Final was known as the Red Hot Grand Final , and the Turkish Bath Grand Final
The temperature was a scorching 95 degrees fahrenheit
Spare a thought for champion Norwood ruckman
Big Bill was in bed most of the week with Hay Fever , and then had to front on this very hot afternoon
It has been reported that Big Bill vomited several times during the match
At one stage Umpire Sweeney stopped the game in the 2nd quarter to send of the multitude of trainers on the ground who were treating the players with wet towels
WA 3-2 9-5 12-8 16-13
NW 4-5 7-6 9- 7 11-7
Neil King Kerley was named best for West Adelaide , as the ruckman, and with an astonishing 23 kicks by todays standards by a ruckman
But how much different might this game have been had Norwoods ruckman Big Bill Wedding been 100% fit ?
So West leads Norwood 3-1 in all Grand Finals , Norwood have not beaten the Flood and Tars for 90 years in the Grand Finals
It was a bit of an achievement for West to lead 3-1 after the 1961 Grand Final
In all encounters at that stage played including the 1961 Grand Final
124 matches played
West were 50-74 down
1908

You are right he did have a high number of possessions. I meant to say that he did find the ball on frequently however his possessions were mostly ineffective.

Theres some happy ex Redlegians
Amateur league Grand Final
15-13 S.P.O.C
13-15 Henley
Trevor Hill the successful coach
Toby Schulz kicked 4 goals and is listed as being Best on Ground
Toby played in the losing 2010 Norwood Grand Final team
Brad Thomas is listed in the Norwood best players, I reckon he might be the son of Norwoods Keith Thomas
Toby is probably too talented to be playing Amateur League, would be worth a go at league Level as he will be 24 years old next football season

I see Andy Collins criticised ticket prices at $30 saying he'd like to see the gates thrown open and create a much larger crowd, which is a reasonable suggestion. In comes Mr Chandler suggesting that Collins coach West Adelaide and leave administration to the SANFL. That's the kind of arrogant response we've come to expect from football CEOs these days.

Re: 2012 SANFL Grand Final - Norwood v West: Sunday 7 October 2012 @ AAMI Stadium
I have said this before but it is beond me why the SANFL dont play the Grand Final with a RED BALL (because it is unfair on teams who do not play with yellow balls on a regular basis EG. night games or twighlight. which i believe is an advantage to norwood more than west norwood play more night games than any other team.) i was at the game for at least 30-40 mins after the game witch is more than enough for the GF festivities to end in daylight (if not turn the lights on minimum) (witch wont need to happen anyway) if it is a problem with the earlier game's
U-18 8-40 to a 9-00 Advertised Start Time 9-05
RES 11-50 to a 12-00 Advertised Start Time 12 noon
L-GF 2-50 to a 3-10 Advertised Start Time 3-20
my tip is Norwood by 4 goals

Can't remember last year's Grand Final, Harpo, but pretty sure they used a red ball for Central v Norwood in 2010...

i do know that but a still think that with the availiable light the whole finals series should be played with a Red Ball
1st match 12-00
2nd match 3-00 to about 5-30 / 5-45
enough light to play a leauge footy match with a Red Ball.

Last year was a red ball too. Only GF I can recall in Centrals dominant era that used a yellow ball was in 2007, when the 3:10ish timeslot was first used. The new daylight savings time started in 2008, which resulted in daylight savings starting the night before the Grand Final, meaning the red ball can easily be used with a 3:10ish start

'
my error, but good that the red ball can be used in a day game.
but the red ball can still be used during the finals series there is enough light
