    Awesome. Go Redlegs.

    If only it was in Victoria.

    Whorethorn ruin another GF...it is so dull.

    As an MCC member it is abhorrent that my stadium is covered in brown and gold so often.

    The colours associated with sewerage and waste management.

    Google 1984 SANFL Grand Final.

    Norwood finished 5th, just fell into finals.

    Port finished top and unbackable favorites.

    Stoushes, hard running footy, exciting finish, Dwayne Russell reported, it had it all.

    Just one of the memories of the rivalry that I have. My parents were rabid Port supporters, I adopted red and blue at an early age in reaction.

    Final score: Norwood 12.10.82 to Port Adelaide 11.12.78

    Two in a row to the Redlegs.

    3peat i think WJ

    I'm sure Terlich and Georgiou would've been watching in anticipation. Some on here would wish they were Redlegs again next year.

    I never thought the day would come when Juice Newton would play in a premiership team wearing the red and blue.

    And "Juice" was a contributor with 2 important goals ....

    Well done

    Go Norwood!

    A big weekend for Norwoods with the local version taking out the EFL Grand Final - their maiden first division title.

    Former Demon Leigh Williams was BoG with 6 goals. Matty Bate solid down back & Jordan Gysberts kicked the first goal of the game.

    They will be hard to beat again next year, particularly if former Norwood junior Sam Blease fails to find a suitor at AFL level

    So the next level down of standard is it?? Sheeit Matty Bate has fallen greatly!!

  • Quote

    He's been out of the AFL for a long time now Fence. Just having a kick with mates now - although I would think he still gets a nice cheque

    I fear we'll be reading about Jimmy Toump kicking goals in the SANFl in the not too distant future.

    I share the same fear Bbo

    Yes, hate the brown and gold with a passion. The colours remind me of too many big nights!

    Lynden Dunn & Max Gawn were at the SANFL GF near the Norwood cheer squad and they were holding up a banner which read "The Juice is on the loose!". I tried to post a photo of them on Demonland but my IT skills failed me.

    Go Norwood!

    One of the sweetest of victories! Norwood in total command in the first quarter 5.1 v 1.3 at quarter time. Then the AFL skills & fitness of the Port Magpies took over in Q2 & Q3. But the "part-timers" in the Norwood side steadied in Q4 slowing the game & playing very professionally. After three consecutive appalling umpiring decisions to Port, the siren sounded with a torpedo entering the Port attacking 50 m arc. Port beaten in two finals within 24 hours by a total of seven points. Does life get any better than this?

    Nathan Bassett joined the victorious side giving Ben Warren (the new coach) an almighty hug after the game. What is he doing in town? On holidays to see his old team? Adelaide FC could do a lot worse if they want a coach with "people skills" to instill culture & structure. Norwood's 3-peat has a lot to do with Nathan Bassett. He really needs another year at least in the AFL system though.

    Sadly Juice was as infuriating as usual. One of his goals was a "gimme" handball over the top in the goal square. A couple of good lead-out plays at half-forward were interspersed with dropped chest marks & loose marking of his man after Norwood turnovers. A few misguided souls 700 km away reading stat sheets have suggested an AFL return for Juice. This GF proved that he is not AFL standard. The question is whether he is SANFL standard.

    Wasn't the Toump an important contributor a couple of years ago in the Grand Final?

    Picket, I think your juice is on the loose!

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
