Didn't quite get my answer to csbowes in time on the live scores thread.

Today was their 4th. 3 in the last 5 weeks though. The Sturt thumping and the bye the other 2 rounds in the last 5. Sturt at Unley round 6 the only other.

Thanks for that... had a feeling the poor Panthers had lost some close one's... when you add in the draw against Sturt in round 1, it appears they've dropped 5 games they could have won... have they won many close ones?

Beat Norwood by less than a goal and the Eagles by just over 3 goals as their only wins.

South deserve to be where Sturt are and vice versa I reckon...

the game was ruined by the umpires, glad we won but got no favours, not even obvious frees, on the other hand south got the biggest armchair ride that i have seen in a long time, absolutely disgraceful, all that said glenelg have a mountain of work to do to be considered a genuine threat, good to see mickan make a significant move for a change moving rudolph forward and todd grima into defence in the last qtr, it proved the difference with sammy taking some good grabs and kicking 2 clutch goals to get us over the line, GO THE TIGES!!

well i thought we started well then seemed to be in cruise mode & south took full advantage of this & were slightly in control, with imho cook, horne, liddle, murphy & especially o'keefe at both ends of the ground playing well while i thought willoughby, murphy bode, kane (b), & rudolph for his cameo in the last term, all glenelg got out of this is the 2 points while south got some respect back from last week as well as some belief, i don't think the umpiring was as bad as what stampy thinks...we made a lot more errors than them

Interesting how differen't supporter groups view the umps. They were inconsistent all day, with no team favoured more than the other I thought. The Bays certainly got a few keys ones when it mattered too (Grima I think on 3/4 time), and the only real dubious one to South was the free to Warren late in the third that he didn't nail when he should have.

South just don't know how to win. (Put it down to confidence and experience?). Had a number of 'half chances' in the 3rd to push the lead out to 4+ goals, but didn't take them. Two goals within the first two minutes of the final Q to the Bays crucial in a tight game. The last quarter a real arm-wrestle, with the ball stuck in South's forward 50 for a lot of the final 5 minutes.

O'Keefe, Murphy were good in the middle, and I liked the look of Carter and Richman. Half forward line is the weakness though.

Good to see a south playing group look guttered after a loss. Hasn't happened enough over the years.

Murphy very good for Glg, and I thought Cranston was the best ruckman on the ground.

South won the Reserves by about 3 goals. First win for the year.

Drove from the NE suburbs to see this win
It was so breathtaking I didnt bother watching the next game and left

I didn't think the umpires were bad. Besides, Glenelg reamed themselves harder and deeper than any umpire could have managed today. Wasteful in the forward half of the ground and slack in the back half. Very, very lucky to win.

Kudos to South who, while not being classy, smelled a win and worked like buggery to achieve it. Today's result proves beyond doubt that there is no Football God, for if ever a team deserved to win then it was the Panthers today.

Not acceptable Glenelg. Long gone are the days when I would have been happy with the 2 points. Today's effort was well below par and should be treated as a bad loss.

South deserve to be where Sturt are and vice versa I reckon...

I totally agree !

i thought glenleg deserved to win that game there clearly had more possessions and inside 50s and control the game for longer periods of the game. A positive for south was that unlike previous games when the opposition had control of the game for long periods we did not get blown away in a short period we tough it out and led at half time despite playing a very average first half. It was heart breaking to see south get control of the game in the 3qtr and get out to a 17 point lead and not go onto to win and make glenleg pay for keeping us in the contest in the first half.
If Sam Livigstone had contest for the ball at half forward instead of giving up when he saw the ball go over his head and give the glenleg player a uncontested mark which start the play for glenleg match winning goal i reckon we would have won.

Are South the new Eagle's with respect to Ranga's??? Obviously a recruiting strategy of the Head Ranga Fuller....

Hovercar - what more can be said.

Felt like we were just waiting for Homer to start with:

"na na na na na na na na, LEADER".
