Round 15 - Glenelg v North - POST MATCH DISCUSSION

[Jim05]

no more Glenelg for the rest of the year

Surely there should be coverage of Spoon Day

[am Bays]

Great to see Ty Allen and "Roury" Kirkby honoured with a banner to run through. Shame the makers didn't do a spell check.

Hmm the banner - I have never seen players from the Reserves called onto help hold up a banner? Trainers and officials fair enough but players???

Demonstrates the esteem they are held in by their peers!

Even moreso the esteem they aren't held in by their fans.

Fair enough not denying that but you think enough supporters would feel the same rather than having to rely on players who just played?

Bays are the ABC game for the next 3 weeks, great scheduling

If only it were true; it would give us all a reason not to turn up

Dunno if Bays supporters saw it this way but even though he only kicked two goals I thought Roury Kirkby was right up there in the best today. Crap day for big forwards but his second efforts, tackling, pressure, corralling and ground work was brilliant. You see all too often big men give up on the ground, particularly on days like yesterday.

Yes, I saw it that way (up yours OTR!). North did appear to have two players on him at one point. I thought it interesting that the North coach afforded Kirkby that level of respect, given the disparity between the teams.

Sadly, we have many supporters who would scream blue murder if there wasn't a banner, but not many want to help. Left to too few too often. And those few get burnt out.

He spent most of the game 1 on 1 with Miles - occasionally a second defender came over to help in the contests but it was mainly 1 on 1 IMO and having watched the repplay in full also? The same applied to Glenelg who played a lose man across the last line and for most of the first half we kept bombing it in to our only tall fwd in a 2 on 1 contest. No doubt Francou showed him the respect by keeping our best defender on him - if the ruck difference kept the score closer Miles may have been moved into ruck but wasn't needed.

Shame your optician didn't give you an eye check:

lol - I couldn't work out KR's the spelling reference either psuedo!

[maxyoz]

Hooray for correctly spelt banners.

[RB]

Hooray for correctly spelt banners.

Yes. Good to see something go right for Glenelg this season.

[Wedgie]

"Poor Bastards" was incorrectly spelt though. It came out "CONGRATULATIONS".

[baysman]

Honest mistake. I made the same error with my classroom reports last Term with the 5 Roury's at the school

If you watch the ABC coverage of the banner, you will see it pre photoshop. It clearly shows "ROURY".

Hmm I saw that too KR on the Snouts Site and also checked the replay - apologies for doubting your original post!

Show how bad a day the GFC had right from the start!

No worries OTR, after seeing the photo on SL, i too had to recheck the replay.

[Wedgie]

LMAO, gold.
Gotta feel sorry for the players though, playing their 150th game and they'd be thinking the fans care so much that they can't spell their name right and the reserves have to hold up the banner, why would they bother trying?
