Jarrod Cotton’s charges could have easily led by more at the first change if not for inaccuracy, but it was the run and carry, coupled with the fine finishing, of indigenous Redlegs Dom Barry and Anthony Wilson which proved decisive.

Norwood came out firing in the second term as dual Magarey Medallist, Mitch Grigg kicked a long-range goal from 50 metres to give the Redlegs the perfect start.

Dom Barry and Anthony Wilson then went to work as both played a pivotal role in kicking goals, whilst also turning provider on several occasions.

The final term once again turned into another shoot out however it was Norwood who struck first as stand-in Skipper Matthew Panos made no mistake from a set shot on an acute angle. Sturt, however, weren’t going to let this game slip easily as they continued to prove efficient on the scoreboard as Jake Sutcliffe and Josh Hone kicked their third each to put the margin within arm’s reach.

Despite, Sturt’s continual pressure, Norwood had the answers as promising youngster Dylan Stephens accelerated away from his opponent to curl a beautiful goal from 40 metres on his left to bring the house down. Dom Barry capped off a fantastic game with his third goal to put the game beyond doubt and secure the Redlegs Semi-Final berth.

Dom Barry led the way for Norwood collecting a team-high 28 disposals to go with his three goals, while Lewis Johnston continued his strong season with 28 touches, nine marks and a goal.

Youngster Cole Gerloff was again dominant with 25 disposals in the engine room, while Cam Shenton collected 22 disposals. The Legs will now turn their attention to Sunday afternoon when they face the Crows in the first Semi-Final at Adelaide Oval from 12:15pm.
