Both sides are coming off wins, but only one side will emerge from Coopers Stadium victorious.  Who will it be?

Draw

Norwood at home to win by 14 points, they'll have an edge in ruck, will probably be fresher as they had a bruise free game against Glenelg

big call by the league to schedule a Norwood v Central game at night, i thought that was off the agenda.....looking forward to this match

Norwood by 38

Norwood at home in front of 427 spectators. Why schedule a Friday night game for the middle of winter?

given the weather, perhaps it should get changed to Saturday

I thought the SANFL had banned Friday night matches between the CDFC and Norwood at the Parade due to crowd problems?

Central for mine, 21pts.

Dogs by 8 points

I really can't see Central breaking down Norwood's style, unless the weather makes it just a scramble.

Read todays paper, it explains why they are going ahead with these two on a Friday night.

Centrals to win.

Sorry Testy, I gave up getting the print version of the Advertiser several years ago after getting sick of M Rucci's so called journalism, I phoned them and cancelled our delivery. Only the other day at Foodland I was offered a free copy of the Advertiser with our grocery order and declined their offer! Old habits die hard I guess! - I still read the odd article from Adelaide Now though.

Final Scores are in,

Full time
Norwood 8.11.59
Centrals 4.7.31
Newton 4, Bartlett 2, Panos and Phillips 1. Sammy Baulderstone had a massive 60 hit outs!

Norwood are starting to look the real deal.

No problems.

The article said that both clubs had moved on and that the incidents were from a few years ago and were confident that there would be no trouble between the supporters of both clubs.
