[Dutchy]

GLENELG
Glenelg has loaded up with marking power for its final home match of the year against Port at Gliderol Stadium on Saturday.
Former Gold Coast Sun Tim Sumner returns from suspension while veteran spearheads Ruory Kirkby and Clint Alleway will play their final match in the black and gold after announcing their retirements.
They have been joined in the Tigers’ 23-man squad by former Magpie Ben Sawford, who has recovered from a hamstring strain.
Penola brothers Matt and Brad Merrett have been sent back to the Reserves.

Probably the Power Reserves, despite the loss of some players to the Power Seniors.

Last home game already-it's come so quick!

Apart from that horrid day at Alberton in early 2014, we've actually been very competitive against Port since the AFL changes came in, and have beaten them this year. Think we'll edge them in a tight one.

Be a few pam defenders having trouble sleeping tonight knowing it Alleway's last game

You'd think there'd be a greater level of appreciation wouldn't you.

Thank you, Glenelg, for giving us reason to point and laugh at Tigers all across the land.

Better?
