Rnd 5 - Glenelg v Central @ Gliderol REVIEW

[CENTURION]

What a great idea ... I've just bought this one for my Mum.

What, THAT OLD CHESTNUT AGAIN?

[Dutchy]

No...it doesnt worry them at all

[Booney]

Lol. Our fault Glenelg have few major round wins to speak of? Our pleasure. Hopefully we can keep that trend going a little while longer.

Glad you could pick up where we left off.

[stampy]

It is a little sad that minor round game seems to hold such importance to some Glenelg fans. Most clubs remember great finals wins, especially grand finals.

maybe it has something to do with the fact we kicked 49 goals??

You can never take it off them Centurion.

[sjt]

I wonder if they were premiership favourites that year?

I can't imagine that Glenelg record score will ever get broken (but hope it does).

[CENTURION]

funny thing is, the next time We played them , We won!

In their 54th consecutive loss they only lost to the eventual premiers, West Torrens, by 11 points. Then after 56 consecutive losses in the first game of the season on May 2nd, 1925 (86 years ago yesterday) they beat the reigning premier, West Torrens to register their first win.

I'm guessing they took it easy.

Hey Centurion, would that be the biggest turn around??? Must be close

CENTRAL DISTRICTS 3. 1. 19 10. 5. 65 14. 9. 93 23. 12. 150

just to clarify

[topsywaldron]

and just on that, glenelg won what has widely been regarded as the best sanfl grand final ever

I wasn't aware the Tiges played in the 1978 or 1984 grand finals.

You forgot your wink topsy but then again surely you couldn't be serious?

[Grahaml]

Yes Topsy, you must have realised that Stampy actually meant widely regarded by Glenelg fans.

Just because Cornesy says so, doesn't make it true.

I reckon you could make a more than plausible case for 78 or 84 to be regarded as great Grand Finals and of course I think they were better than Stampy's beloved 1934 flag.

FWIW I reckon the '99 GF was as good a game as the two above, just to prove I'm not totally one eyed.

No argument about those games but I think Stampy is referring to 1973?
