Rnd 2 - Glenelg v Norwood @ Gliderol Stadium (Sat N 6/4)

[Squawk]

Thinking of taking my toddler along which will mean having to leave early, but will also arrive early. What time (roughly) for these twilight games, does the crowd really start to descend and hence street car parking starts to become a premium? I don't want to have to carry a nearly three year old too far back to the car!

I usually park on the southern/Diagonal Road side.

No different to a day game ... most of the crowd tend to turn up in the 30 or so mins before the start

If you're getting there early the primary school car park would be the go.

Same Sqwawk (Master G is 3 in June). I find the streets behind the eastern side of the ground dont fill up until quite late.

Oi, pipe down! Now my fave park is going to be occupied with a Beemer sporting a "premiers 2012" sticker...

I might bring the Range Rover so if I'm running late I can nudge out your VK Commodore with the faded, cracked and peeling "Premiers 85/86" sticker on the chrome bumper bar, and ease it onto the verge or into a rose garden (That's if you aren't driving a bus while the trains are out of action at the moment! )

What's happened to parking in the primary school this year, out of interest?

[wildcat]

Crowd about 5700 and the good guys to beat the cheats by 20 points

Sour grapes already? lol

[Bunton]

Bays were pretty good last week, and I give them a chance - but leaning towards the cheats in this one

Don't you wish your squeaky clean club could "cheat"" as good as mine and win a Premiership just once in your lifetime??

Aren't Centrals the only team to cheat with a 100% premiership ratio, just another record we hold!!!

[legsman]

lol Dedja, out of curiosity as obviously no-ones else seems to care as I do, but I've noticed since you've changed your avatar and taken the visor off, I'm wondering whether it's a case of you've seen the light and now list Norwood as your team? Now I'm pretty sure that's not it, so here's your chance to tell and I promise I won't tell anyone

(please no reference to cheating)

[dedja]

Went to Norwood High and played juniors for the Redlegs ... I've finally come to my senses

[Dutchy]

Went to Norwood High and played juniors for the Redlegs ... I've finally come to my senses

And best mates with Adelaide Hawk

Excellent response Dedja, well done

Hoping to eventually overcome the Bays in what I expect will be a tough contest Saturday night.

[Madrooster]

Bays look like they need to cover Tom Holmes too - believe he walked out on Glenelg last night.

Glenelg v Norwood
Gliderol Stadium, Saturday 6.30pm – LifeFM

Glenelg
Glenelg has been rocked by the sudden departure of classy midfielder Tom Holmes on the eve of its big clash with Norwood at Gliderol Stadium on Saturday night.
Holmes’ long-term partner has secured an employment extension in Jamaica, leaving the Mount Gambier product to make the agonising decision to end his playing career with the Tigers.
‘’We respect Tom’s decision and we wish him all the best,’’ Glenelg football manager Ken Applegarth said.
‘’It is a strong yet clear decision he’s made and one that most young men would make. He’s been with his partner for a long time, they got together in Mount Gambier. She went overseas for her employment and is doing very well. Once she got an extension (for her employment) Tommy had to make a decision. So we wish him well.’’
The Bays will also be without their best forward in Ruory Kirkby, who will act as best man in a friend’s wedding.
‘’The club has known about it for quite a while as Ruory was up front about it,’’ Applegarth said.
‘’Common-sense prevails, it was just unfortunate the wedding fell when we had a big game against Norwood.’’
Kirkby’s absence provides a significant opportunity for developing forward James Hinge, who made his league debut against the Redlegs last year.
Midfielder Jacob Carger has had his strong pre-season rewarded with league selection while Brad Agnew and Chris Curran were also named in the Tigers’ 22-man squad. Former Port Magpie Ryan McInerney will make his debut for the Bays.
‘’Ryan was recruited due to his intensity, his work ethic and his relentlessness,’’ Applegarth said.
‘’I think this game will suit him right down to the ground so we’re looking forward to him making his debut for the club.’’
Crows-listed defender Sam Shaw (hamstring) was unable to be considered after injuring himself at training this week while utility Tom Lynch has been called up for the Adelaide’s match against Brisbane on Saturday.

Norwood
Norwood captain Kieran McGuinness will play his first league match in nearly 12 months when he confronts Glenelg at Gliderol Stadium on Saturday night. McGuinness, who missed last year’s premiership due to a knee reconstruction, regained confidence after playing a full game in the reserves against Port last Thursday night.
‘’He was OK it was more about his own confidence and feeling as if he’s ready to play,’’ Norwood coach Nathan Bassett said of McGuinness.
‘’He got a bit of a knock on his knee and he came through that unscathed so he feels as if he’s ready to play. He will be a reasonably handy inclusion.’’
Ed Smart has also been included in the Redlegs’ squad of 23 after a mishap before training last week.
‘’Ed stepped on a foam roller last week on Wednesday night,’’ Bassett said.
‘’We still thought he would be OK on Thursday but he dropped out on Thursday morning and Luke Wilson came in. Ed’s had an outstanding pre-season so we’re expecting good things from Ed this year.’’
