FROSTY’S EFL THERMOMETER Each week, Peter Baird takes a look at the teams or players in the EFL that are catching our attention with their good, or bad, form. After careful deliberation, he puts the thermometer on the EFL and gives you his weekly nomination as to who’s hot and who’s cold. ON FIRE The ‘On Fire’ section of Frosty’s Thermometer is all about giving credit where credit is due. It is about recognizing those players or teams who have taken their game to the next level and may now be ready to challenge for the ultimate prize. This year there has been no greater example of that than the Norwood Football Club. Rising from the pack of Division 1 clubs that missed out on fi nals action last year like a phoenix rising from the ashes, the Norseman have taken all before them. With only one round remaining in the Division 1 home and away season, Norwood appears certain to lock in not only a fi nals berth but also the minor premiership, fi nishing atop the Division 1 ladder. At times throughout the year, observers around the Eastern Football League and within the Media Team have not given the men from Mullum Reserve the credit or recognition they have deserved. Is it because people fi nd it diffi cult to believe that there could be a new kid on the block to challenge the might of Noble Park, Scoresby, Balwyn, and traditional EFL behemoth Vermont? Or is it because of the unique style of football that coach Kevin Tibaldi has instilled into his playing group? It is not secret that the Norsemen play a defensive, pressure-based game and have turned the art of strangling teams scoring into an art form this year. Mullum Reserve has become a fortress for Norwood in 2012, with the Norsemen completing an undefeated season at home, winning all nine matches at their stronghold. The Norsemen have restricted teams’ scoring power and only conceded an average of just over 40 points a match at home this year. Their most impressive victories were against Scoresby and Balwyn, who could only manage 11 and 35 points respectively at Mullum Reserve. When Kevin Tibaldi stands before his playing group and delivers his prematch address this Saturday, he won’t be able to say anymore that no-one rates the Norsemen as genuine contenders with their nomination into Frosty’s Furnace this week, leading into the fi nal round of action and the Division 1 ‘Choose Tap’ fi nal series. YOUR GAME TODAY GONE COLD Sometimes when your season is done and dusted and fi nals are well out of reach, you can still gain some consolation out of fi nishing off the year with some well fought out victories. The motivation may be to stave off relegation, or just to fi nish in somewhat of a blaze of glory in an attempt to carry some momentum into next year. It is as much about the heart and soul of the football club and being able to hold your head high throughout the long summer months and arduous preseason while waiting for the chance at redemption next year. After defeating the Whitehorse Pioneers in what, at the time, was described as the ‘battle for relegation’ game in Round 14 this year, the Coldstream Football club appeared to be a side that was going to show some late season fi ght. It had been a disappointing year for the Cougars and fi rst year coach Matt Price. But the last four rounds of the Division 3 season presented an opportunity to not only consolidate their position in Division 3 for 2013, but also give supporters and sponsors some hope for next year. Unfortunately they weren’t able to achieve either of those goals. With four consecutive losses to end their season, the Cougars now fi nd themselves on the bottom of the Division 3 ladder and setting up the locations of Division 4 clubs into their satellite navigation systems for next year. With their season on the line and their place in Division 3 at stake last week, the Cougars barely showed a whimper in their 112-point humiliation at the hands of the Glen Waverley Hawks. It was all bad news for the Coldstream Football Club last week and they would have had their hearts in their mouths when they were told of the Whitehorse Pioneers spirited two-point win over Warrandyte, in the knowledge that they would now be relegated for next season. It is not all gloom and doom for Coldstream however. The funny thing about football is there is always next week and next year. In 2013, the Cougars will have an opportunity to regroup and hopefully make a statement to once again challenge as a power in the lower division.
