Round 7: Norwood v Eagles - Friday 26 May @ Coopers Stadium

Norwood v Eagles
Friday 26 May
Coopers Stadium

Reserves: 4:40pm
League: 7:20pm

It's 2 sides in some pretty decent form facing off under the Coopers Stadium lights.  Who will come away with the 2 points this week?

with what i saw on the weekend i'd say the Eagles would win by 3 or 4 goals....looking forward to watching this match

You would have to go for the Eagles but then again the games Norwood have lost have been by slim margins and they havent peaked.
Head says Eagles by 3 goals.
Go Leggies!

Eagles by 28 points. Only picked that margin because its my favourite number, realistically it should probably be closer than that. In recent seasons the Eagles have destroyed Norwood by getting numbers back, shutting down the offensive threat, then going coast to coast with clean skills to hit the scoreboard themselves.

I think they'll still possess that weapon in terms of ball movement, but it will be interesting to see if Norwoods quicker, more offensive movement allows them to get scoring opportunities before the numbers get back there.

What time does the league game start ?

Another form side the eagles will face this week . Hopefully the oval wont be made smaller like aberton was last week lol.

Eagles should win this. The bays turned the ball over way too many times and didn't punish Norwood when they turned it over. Can't see the Eagles doing the same.

Any ideas about Viney he was suspended for a week . Will this hinder Norwood

Probably not Mickey, as he'd only been in for the one week as a replacement for Phillips, who is the far greater loss (no disrespect intended to Harry). But injuries occur in all clubs, should be no excuses if Norwood aren't good enough on Friday.

Thanks Scrunch I wondered about him

Angus Rowntree is set to play his 100th League game on Friday night at the Parade. After an injury interrupted pre-season Angus has had a strong month of football in the Reserves and is primed to take on Norwood in his milestone match. Ethan Haylock’s strong form in the Reserves has also been rewarded being added to the 22 man squad. Jared Petrenko is set to the miss the game with a minor quad issue.
