The red and the blue will be worn in the SANFL Grand Final in a fortnight's time after the Norwood Redlegs comprehensively beat West Adelaide in today's semi final:

Norwood 8.13.61 West Adelaide 2.5.17

Ha!

Captain of West Adelaide is former Dee Ryan Ferguson and they wear the Essendon colours.

    Has he put on any weight? Just curious if it was ever going to happen...

    Fellow Redleg tragic and myself will be heading across to the GF in Adelaide. We both finished up in Melbourne 20 years or so ago with work but still keep an eye on the results from across the border. We remember the dynasty of the late 70's and early 80's where the 'Legs played in 5 grand finals in 9 years for 4 wins.

    Keen to see if any Moneyball candidates in either team.

    I miss Garry McIntosh, the best footballer I've ever seen never play in the AFL.

    and don't forget Horrie Gorringe

    Bassett will likely be at Hawthorn next year as an assistant coach. I wish we snared him last year, would have been a great replacement for Wellman.

    Hope the Westies bounce back, cousins husband plays for them, ripping bloke deserves a medal around his neck after a tough couple of years. Sorry to all the Redlegs out there!

    James Aish, son of Andrew and nephew of legend Michael Aish will be a star of the future.

    Micheal Aish for mine. with that ruckman from WA whose name i can't recall ATM a close second (as a kid when he played in the state games against the vics i thought of him like the Cuban Olympic boxers in the 70's who dominated but never went pro - particularly one of their heavy weights who by all accounts was the Cuban Ali. Again i sadly can't recall his name)

    i still remember Gary McIntosh half the field handballs as a kid! Good friend of my dads, they always used to go and get hammered at the Bath Hotel down the parade back in the day.

    Does any one know of a website or phone app. that we could watch the game on?

    Is it on local radio?

    Incidentally, that 2nd semi score reminds me of that great Grand Final day in 1960 when we gained retribution against Collingwood!

    Thanks stinga.

    I went to the Charles Dickens a few years ago when Jack Trengove played in the grannie for Sturt and with all due respect it's a bit of a dungeon (literally) and the food was just ...

    Anyone been to the Fleece and can we get some Demon support going for the Redlegs there?

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
