No it’s Not!!

Half time

All the Bays

Glenelg 11.5
North 2.1

Glenelg walking on water but North surprisingly poor.

When the chooks played at Glenelg 50 years ago they got paddled by 160 points. It would be nice to see that play out again, in front of the '73 team.

Got a feeling it won't though.

i was there that day and in the front bar of the Holdy by 15 mins of the 2nd 1/4

Last 3 to the chooks

Glenelg 12.7
North 6.1

50 years later, 50 points more winning margin than in 73.

There’s something in that for all of us

Something tells me I was wrong and will have to buy a Glenelg membership next year...looking a very powerful side.

Nicholas Leck has kicked 10.1

10 Goals + always a great effort
Might Leck be ready for League selection ?

He’s not replacing Holder, Hosie, Reynolds or McHeld - so not at the moment.

my son got married today so had to follow the scores on my phone, great result, that 57pt margin rings a bell

Some of our ball movement was real stiffy material yesterday

Other times we got lazy with the give and that put our team mates under-pressure

Having the ball so much we got lazy with our pressure which allowed North to get a sniff in the 3rd.

In short no one at the Bay is satisfied with that performance. Improvement required in both offence and defence to be there in late September.

Yep, Leck ain’t playing unless we get injuries and based on yesterdays ins we ain’t pushing Holder back to cover defensive injuries to fit him in.

IMO Lovelock was best for the Ressies yesterday with his midfield work especially around the stoppage. Have plenty of silver service to the forwards.

Club gave best to Leck though

Lowest turnout of North supporters at The Bay that I can recall, usually a hell of a lot more on the outer wing & on umbrella hill.

One important reason for most of the 15 seasons prior to COVID Glenelg played North on the June holiday Monday. There were crowds sometimes up to 6,000 with a very healthy contingent of North supporters. In fact one Glenelg poster on this site said many years ago that North must have the best group of travelling supporters. It certainly is no longer the case, maybe a lot of the North travelling supporters are now too old.
On the other hand, Glenelg should have a monster holiday Monday crowd playing Sturt this year. Given the form of both sides it is possible that there may be 10,000 people at the game.
I was going to criticize the powers that be that changed the June Holiday traditional match, but they must have had great foresight when doing the program to schedule the two teams that at this stage look likely Grand Finallists.

10,000?? i wish, crowds at sanfl games are slowly dwindling, i fear for our comp when olld coots like me fall off the perch

Agree, that's where charging $20 to get into an SANFL game is ludicrous. I know many people who would go to a game here and there, big game like Sturt vs Bays for example, but no way would pay that much, should be $10. Would make a killing over the bar and food, just plain stupid!

I guess I was thinking back to about 2009 when Glenelg and Sturt drew 12,000 people to a game at the Bay.
You are certainly right about the entrance cost stopping a lot of people from going.
