Glenelg v Central 2nd Semi Final Review

[Voice]

As if they would. They only rock up 5 mins before they play.

Geez mate get the chip off your shoulder. I listened to the Eags and Sturt on the radio then watched about 15 minutes on delayed telecast before walking over to the game. Watched a quarter and a bit. Couldn't really comment as i didn't see it all. Got pretty exciting toward the end seeing if Sturt could hang on. But didn't see enough of the game (but more than 5 mins smart a**). Saw plenty of people from the Sturt Eagles game leave after that game and so what, had no problem with that.
I was responding to posts referring to how Central winning was boring and predictable.

Was just playing sjt. Forgot to put the appropriate smilie in so you would know it was in jest. I don't really care what time you get to the games mate.

Heard from a few mates back home that the end to this game was an absolute shambles with the shot at goal after the siren. Don't suppose anyone could chuck it up on youtube???

Finally got to watch a replay of the game tonight. I thought Murphy was very good for the bays. Spurr for the dogs. The umpires were as bad as I had thought live. Also I reckon Backwell would have breathed a sigh of relief when the time to "sight" players had passed. Leaving the ground and making head high contact late, he's pretty lucky.

For those interested and who haven't seen it, I posted a 'review' of this game on the SAFooty.net Journal forum.

Coming back from a footy trip on sunday so couldnt get to the game and missed most of it on ABC. Does anyone know where I can get a dvd of the game?

[Dutchy]

Forced myself to watch the replay last night, Bays stuffed it no doubt, missed 4-5 chest marks inside 50 from good delivery, missed another 4-5 goals from set shots, most inside 40m....umpiring wasnt as bad as I thought on the day....clearly the worst decision was the 25m against Mills for Slade that bought him within range to kick one of their comeback goals....the push and mark was all part of the one action, how that is a 25m penalty is beyond me.

I can now appreciate it was a good game of footy and miles ahead of the early game, still pretty disappointed but think we have more positives and improvement to come out of the game than the Dogs....should we get over Sturt we still have a minute chance of causing an upset GF day...

I reckon the 25m penalty paid against Luke Panozzo on Eddie Sansbury on the outer wing was equally as bad Dutchy, the one you mentioned was simply "soft", the Panozzo one was technically WRONG and if I recall the same umpire in both incidents...

Eddie had clearly played on and Luke should have been entitled to tackle him, made even more obvious by the big grin on Eddie's face after recieving the 25 and the fact that as he was tackled he disposed the ball by hand, clearly indicating HE knew he had played on...

I thought that 25m was very soft. I'd argue the holding the ball not paid against Murphy after he took off got run down by Thommo and dropped the ball was worse. Or when Eddy Sansbury was clearly held (you could even see his jumper being pulled) about four times by two Glenelg players as the ball was kicked into attack, that was unbelievable.
Agreed the Bays missed some costly shots (as did the dogs in the first half). Glenelg also had four "rushed" points.
The dropped chest market not sure by whom in the last quarter (maybe Kirkby?) wasn't good.
Sully's point running into goal from 30 out slight angle, was equally as costly.
Glenelg got a free for holding against Thommo in the last quarter as the ball was being thrown up in the centre. Rewound it five times saw noone was near him, baffling.

Agreed Big Phil. Also the one against Westhoff that took I think Ruwoldt (spelling?) from CHF to having a shot was pretty soft also.

agree that one wasnt good but I can understand how the umpire got fooled by Sansbury....the Mills/Slade one was just pathetic, the mark and push happened at the same time, for a 25m it should be 2 seperate actions

I don't think Sansbury tried to fool the ump - when he was grabbed he handballed and looked surprised to have it called back.

[smac]

No player fooled the ump - he hadn't called play on and Ed was tackled.

The ump may have erred in not calling play on, so he perhaps fooled himself.

[Dogwatcher]

I agree Smaccer - the umpire hadn't called play on on that one. There lied his mistake - but as a result he had no choice but to award the penalty in Ed's favour. You see it so often in all games.

[doggies4eva]

The thing is Eddie had handballed so the ump could have still called play on and noone would have been disadvantaged

[Hazydog]

My take on the Slade 25M was that Mills may have given Slade a "stiff arm" type blow to the stomach reason. Hence Slade wincing when on the ground. Difficult to see from the replay angle though.

As far as the Sansbury 25M - it semed similar to the Ruwoldt 25M when he attempted to play on. Unless the umpire calls play-on, the tackler is in a no-win situation IMO.

[Grahaml]

A had the front on view of the Slade mark/25m and from my vantage point (100m away) I thought Mills had pulled Slade down by the arm after the mark was taken. At the time I was actually expecting the 25m which duly came. The replay from a different angle made it look like there was nothing in it, but perhaps the umpire had a similar view to mine and thought the same. Bit hard for me to say whether it was a right or wrong decision as neither my view nor the camera angle were great vantage points.

Thought we were lucky with O'Hara not getting pinged holding the ball. Thankfully he was running away from the umpire so he only saw the ball coming loose and O'Hara trying to handball. Obviously couldn't see it was clearly thrown loose (as I could!).

What happened to Alex Grima?

AS MT79 said playing ressies did absolutely no pre-season due to groin problems. Didn't play to Rd 2. Has suffered due to no preparation. Will be a virtual new recruit for 2010. Has been very good last four games (especially the Elim Final v Port) now that he has some miles in his legs.

[UK Fan]

The immediate football after yesterday's two point loss to Central at Football Stadium was one of immense football. The most significant football in responding to the game in a positive way will be the players' football. Resilience is this group's best football. They have shown this on numerous football occasions and they have responded very football indeed. It is all about how we handle it mentally, physically and footbally. The leadership from within the whole playing group will football. They will want to learn from football and they will want to move on. They will be ready when Sunday comes. Nothing, however guarantees football. Football is a verb, a doing word, and we have to do it.

PS. still cant believe we lost the football on the weekend.
