You beauty!!!!!!!!!!

I guess our club song says it all:

"If we're behind then never mind we'll fight and fight and win"

AWESOME BAYS!!! (although you should have never needed to do that in the first place)

the start of a very long season i think

should i start a sturt imploding topic or should i just let a bays supporter have some fun

Hate to be in the Sturt change rooms after the match.....

I reckon the paint would be stripping off the walls with Luke Norman's post game talk

never in doubt


seriously though i thought sturt were magnificent for the first three terms, especially the middle two of the match, they ran in numbers, they chased they tackled, they had a superior skill level (they did all the things i wanted glenelg to do who were sparkless), i don't know if rubbers' lemon time address did it or the little biffo we saw early in the last term but the spark, run & intensity all happened, why didn't it happen at 4.10pm is beyond me........sturt did prove one thing today & that is they wont be the easybeats that some think they'll be, glenelg proved that we're a good side but must play 4 quarters to win as you can't make up 8 goals in a term every week & well done to the 5,000+ that went today which added to a great atmosphere

Sturt smashed us (for 3 qtrs), then I witnessed one of the best come from behind wins I can remember. I'm still buzzing. Can't believe we could be so bad and then produce such an amazing turn around.

A 4 qtr effort next week please.

It was

the last 25 minutes was unbelievable, 10-7 to 0-1, i am still scratching me head

C'mon, where is "cue spelly!"

It's the equal sixth greatest comeback from three quarter time; the equal best comeback by Glenelg at that stage, and the 2nd biggest lead Sturt have blown.

Some research may be required to find out if those leads were extended past 47 points to see if it is the equal greatest comeback after three quarter time.

Also, that's the best last quarter by Glenelg versus Sturt, it was 10.6 (66) to 1.1 (7) in Round 7 1995 at Glenelg.

You're not alone!

Ultimately of course it's all about the win and the Bays showed a lot of self belief to get up in the last term. But what do both teams take out of a game like that? Does a disappointed Sturt take at least some solace out of the fact that a young team not expected to be competitive were actually superb for 3 quarters? Would the premiers-fancied Bays be overly worried about how dreadful they were before finally living up to potential and coming out to play in the last?

Bah. Well done Bays. Weird, weird game that

would that 59 point last change deficit be an all time record as far as recognised (not trial) matches go in the sanrfl?

Gobsmacked.

To think I was awake at 3:30am to get sms updates for this, in a shitty hotel with even shittier wifi.
I recall that someone mentioned fitness during the trials.. But...WTF?
