Both teams in pretty good form. You know Central didn't make a lot in that last game but North absolute, really that score 35 points down at half time and then come from behind. That can happen to any both. But we'll show you each quarter and I cannot wait what will happen.

Norwich struggled Unbelievable, winning the footy so much more. And I tell you right now, this Norwich will be amazed that this is unbelievable.
Speaker 1:There's some entertainment at the moment out on the footy field, the halftime show, and I just I am so proud that Nord fought 731. In four goals, 5-1-1 at half-time. What do I think of that quarter? Quick ball movement from Nord Redlegs in that second quarter and I really think that Nord shown how much potential to make it even better, to make it even a better half. Our first half of footy. Not great in the first quarter. We knew that was a warm-up quarter, that was a nerves quarter, but out of that nerves we reset. They'll go to the huddle in the shed and bring on the halftime. Now this is the BJ Show Halftime Report. We'll see you just before the halftime. In the second half we'll be back, don't go away More to come on the BJ Show Live from the LA Oval Crowd's building up very slow.

Speaker 1:Three quarter time here at the Adelaide either live as will be set to three. What a epic game for the second quarter, for the qualification final between Glenelg and Adelaide. But right here, right now we're here at the singles and Nord three corner. Timewood three-quarter time report. It is 7.547 to well, let's just record that scoreline. It is 7.547, 5.838. So only nine points the difference at three-quarter time. So three goals to one. So Norwood can finish it off. I think they can. I think they can do really well to finish off really, really well. So let's find out at time. This is the three-quarter time report. Singles by nine points. It's going to be a really heated quarter. All the Southlands, in the second and the third quarter, won the gold. So we'll find out in the final quarter. Stay tuned.
Speaker 1:All right, here, full time. We're back full time here at the Adelaide Oval, a breathtaking nine points down for the Norwood Redlegs, the come home kicking Six goals to one, absolutely clean it. There is a few bests on grounds of our chair and that is Nick Riker Absolutely disposal this game, not kick the goal but 27 disposals and 10 tackles, 5 clearances Unbelievable. And our man, billy Cole, absolutely 23 disposals, 2 goals and 2 clearances, 3 tackles. So there you have it. Well done to Central for making the final. See you all next year and my respect for that. But, norris, be ready because you're back in action. It's only week one. You can. You believe in each other, believe in each other in a massive way because you earned this spot. To finish in fifth and go all the way. And I have much, much confidence as respectful. So thank you so much for the Nord defeating Final score, which is 11-9. 75 defeated defeated 8-9. 57. Norwood winning by 28 points, the biggest margin of the afternoon. Thank you so much.
Speaker 1:We'll be back for the second game, which is the quarter-final between the Glenelg Tigers Football Club taking the Adelaide Crows football club. All right, see you all soon. Enjoy shows up. For now, hello, welcome. Welcome back to the second game. Weird game in the time between Glenelg and LA Crows, beautiful. I think it's going to be just a little bit that rain is coming down so it's going to fuck it down, I believe, but I did. I think it's going to be a really good game and not. The crowd is pretty good, but a little bit low crowd, a bit quieter than the first game, but still good to see fans hanging between Glenelg and LA Crows. So we'll see you at quarter time. Welcome back to the. Welcome back to the LA Dome Between Glenelg Tigers and the LA Crows.
Speaker 1:Reserves, quarter time 4-1-25-2017. 2-5-17. So I think that was a pretty slow start. Colin Mill came out on top and then LA closed Reserves. That's really got back into the game. I think it's going to be one of those heated football games, low cloud as well.
Speaker 1:So see you all at Halftime Report. Halftime Report here at the LA Dover forford, the qualifier final between Glenelg Tigers Tag on the Adelaide Coastal Reserve. A pretty strong effort, team performance from both teams. Glenelg and Adelaide really put on a fantastic entertainment in the first half. The winner will tag on Sturt, the loser will tag on North Redleg. So how can I reflect on this half? Glenelg and Ad and allies keep three goals, two to three goals for each of at such an even contest, with the one point advantage of the other lane to go on now, tiger low scoring. This was a score very similar between the central district and norway. So yeah, so I hope there will be a really good half in the second half. I see you in the second half between Linnell and Mighty Adelaide Truck.
Speaker 1:Welcome back here on the BJ Show Podcast. We are at three-quarter time and we have one hell of a game here. Live at the Adelaide Oval here, live at the Adelaide Oval, and one hour of a game. We've got on our sleeve 9, 7, 61, 7, 12, 54. What a finish this could be On the mark. Who'd Adelaide close? Tag on Sturck Double Blues, or is it going to be? The Colonial Tigers will face the Sturck Double Blues, or is it doing the Adelaide Closer tag on the North Red Legs. Who is it? Who is Crows attack on the Nord Redlegs? Who is from here the base? Oh, not too sure. So, yeah, we'll find out. Or is it going to be Glenelg Tigers going to attack on the Nord Redlegs or the LA Crows over and attack on the Nord Redlegs? My point is LA will attack on Sturt and yeah, I'll see you at full time.
Speaker 1:Welcome all to the final time report live here at the adelaide. Final score glennell tigers 10 gold 14 74 defeated the la code 11 773. What an epic day to end this year, an epic that a really good lost crowd from Louis are gone. Nord have one more chance. Could they continue? So overall it was 2-5-17. La 4-1-5, and et cetera, et cetera, and LA did lead most of that game but Glenelg Tigers in their hitting their post. The game was basically over. After that play, I think, credit to Glenelg. They'll take on Sturt and it will be an epic, epic final series with no take on the LA Cribs reserves, which another good game will be.
Speaker 1:All right, I'm now signing out live from the Allied Oval. Thank you so much for listening.

Speaker 1:So what can I say about today's game and the incredible performance from both games? I start off with the first beautiful condition all day and it was her winter sport with Central District versus Norwood and they snored, took in the wind, 8 points. So I'm going to review both games as we speak and, like I said, I'll remind you all to play the games. And then just came out 3 goals to 0. Then it was 1 goal, 1 to 4 goals, 5. Then 3 goals, 1 to 1 to 9. Anyone can win it from here. And then Noid gets 6 goals to 1. That's sold.
Speaker 1:Noid will take on the LA Crows as a whipping game of football. 2-5-17 to four goals 125. Then it was three goals 8-38 to 7-45. So, nord we really LA Desi were in control, kicking seven goals by two goals apiece. Two goals for two goals for same margin, and it was three goals. Who to two goals, exactly straight.
Speaker 1:So now we come to the players of the game I'm going to share with two players, only two players overall. It doesn't matter if it's both teams or just one club. So we'll start with the two best of grounds. I'm going to give it to Billy Crutting from the Nord. Let's see where they came to Goals 26 disposals, including the amazing that he had three tackles and two clearances.
Speaker 1:Well done on your game performance. And this person has changed everyone's level and you can't go wrong with game performance. And this person has changed everyone's level and you can't go wrong with game performance. And that is nick ray car on the north 27th, and that's 11 clear tackles 11 tackles and four planters, four clearance. So they're my player.
Speaker 1:But we come to the second game and 10, 14, 74 glaniel tigers feeding 11 773, 2 dla Crows and I think that was a really hard choices and we started off with a player that he dominated for Glanel for final eight moments. We come to the dis-play of the game. We have two players and we only got one from each team and I've got to have total respect and I don't't know much to say. But, geraint Lyons, you are my player. A game for Glenelg, 24 disposals in England, four tackles and seven clearances. A credible former Crows star and Brisbane Lions star Playing Brook Glenelg.
