"Requesting Upgrade to Big 3 Status" from the Outer Eye
Norwood hosted one of the acknowledged "big 3" of the EFL in Saturday's Rd 2, taking on Vermont at home. For some years now, the pundits in EFL ranks have nominated Balwyn, Noble Park and Vermont as 'The Big 3', and probably rightly so given those three teams' domination of the premierships in the competition over the past decade, even longer in Vermont's case. However, it is possible that the landscape may be changing in the EFL in 2014, and if Saturdays performance is any indicator, then perhaps, just perhaps, it is Norwood mounting a case for entry into the exclusive club. Its only a first step, but the determination and clinical precision with which we put Vermont to the sword on Saturday is a very likely indicator that Norwood is indeed, putting its hand up to join "the Big 3" in season 2014 - as we emerged triumphant by 56 points.
