Rd 23 2007 Eagles v Glenelg

[mighty_tiger_79]

Sounds like this is going to be up against the Cows live on TV.

Won't be a huge crowd, i'm afraid.

Maybe Glenelg fans should put Glenelg 1st, & not the Crows...

well you manage to put the Red Roosters ahead of your beloved $$$$Bays$$$$$$$

**** the cows, hope they get smashed on the weekend

Aren't they the same thing ???

They think they are, and the bays should always come first

from Ron Fullers email to members

The past two weeks have given us some valuable percentage in a season where it has become very important. Our win and Sturt’s loss just about assures us of a double chance, but we will be preparing for a solid showing against an ever emerging Glenelg in the last game of the home and away season. As we have done for the last month or so, we don’t want to rely on other results to decide our fate, but provide it for ourselves. That and the fact that we may play Glenelg again in the finals means that the game takes on significant importance.

To have three key forwards kick six goals in last week’s game is a luxury we haven’t had for a long time. Another key forward playing well and one performing well in the Reserves has added to the options we have. Dale Symmons also played a full game in the Reserves too....This and Vinnie Rugolo’s good form has also added to our thinking.

Congratulations to Peter Fiacchi on his 100 games for us, and also Adam Klun on his 100th game. He played most of them at Sturt of course, but he has been a valuable addition to our list and it is pleasing that we were able to give him the opportunity of getting to his own personal achievement. The other pleasing bit from the weekend was the debut of Jared Petrenko. Jared has been nearly there a few times this year.......it was good to see him finally get his chance and then to play well and fit in nicely. This has added to our depth as well I feel as he is the type of player who can fill several different roles for us.

Glenelg have been playing good football and are one of the clubs we felt would break into the finals this year. We have respected their development and it will be a good test for us on the eve of the finals. We will be playing on Saturday at Woodville and I look forward to seeing as many of our Eagle supporters as possible there to watch the dress rehearsal for finals.

Hell is this the game of the round or game of the YEAR!!!!!!

the first time these two sides met this year it was dubbed 'the battle to avoid the wooden spoon' now both poised to make an impact on the finals, it goes to show that you should never give it up & leave it for next year, should be a beauty & the side that is more desperate & works harder will win

Exactly. People were writing us off after the first few weeks, and now we're 2nd. I always knew that we'll come back in the 2nd half of the year, with the players coming back from injury and the young players coming through.

I must say I was very doubtful at 3 quarter time at Alberton when we had 1 goal on the board. The impressive thing was that it was the young players at the club that got the league season back on track and that momentum has snowballed with the return of the experienced top-line players.

bayman makes a good point. Goes to show it is a very long season.

As I keep saying before round 10 means nothing in the SANFL.

Kenny got his Crows call-up - that'll make things pretty interesting methinks.

I'd be very surprised if Passador plays. No point in risking him at this stage anyway so would expect Grocke to take his place in the forward line and Redden to line up in the reserves after missing a couple of weeks through injury.

McConnell is the danger man in the forward line for Glenelg. McKenzie would be a pretty good match up for him though. I think Kane is the Tiger's best player and would expect Fairclough to keep him accountable and hopefully bob up with a goal or two.

I haven't seen much of Glenelg this year. They've been pretty ordinary the two times they've played us so will be interested to see if they bring their form into this game. A win for Glenelg would give them plenty of confidence going into finals. Something the Eagles will be trying to eliminate.

[mighty_tiger_79]

I heard Grocke will come in and will play throughout the finals

IMHO The Eagles forwad line will still be very potent with out kenny mac (I wont go into why Grocke adds a bit more AGAIN).Will glenelg be able to hold the forwardline .
And will Petrenko hold his place soemone has to drop out from the team list. Perhaps Redden Klun or symmons may miss out .

And for Eagles fans will Saturday be the end of an era will this be Steven Halls last game for the club in the seconds .

Where do I begin! I'll say that I am mighty relieved to come away with a point, because at least we can take something into next week, rather than had the siren gone two seconds later, we would have gone into next week with a shattering loss.

It is just another quirk in that the only two draws we have been involved in 17 seasons have come against the same team at the same venue; the other draw in 1993. Mind you though, it was a fitting result for two teams who demonstrated at times just how damaging they can be, when on fire.

There were so many chances missed by the Eagles in the first 2 and a half quarters, by not allowing for the breeze, twice passing it to an unmarked player in the goalsquare, only for it to miss the target and roll on for a behind. The behind which clicked Glenelg into action I thought was the miss by Cooper only 25 out on the right side to allow for the breeze, but sprayed it badly. The score at that stage was 6.13 to 6.2. 12 or so minutes later Glenelg were 21 points up and with the breeze to come in the last. McConnell showed why he is 2nd on the goal table, and he would be closer to Chambers if he was more a permanent full forward. Bays fans can correct me, but I think that he does play up the ground a bit as well.

At that stage, I thought we were gone for all money. But this Eagles side does not give in!

Two goals, brought the margin back to 9 points at three quarter time. I still thought Glenelg would win, however again, the belief of the Eagles players saw the lead regained with another two goals - 10.13 to 11.4. Then, yet again, another challenge from Glenelg wrestled back the lead and it got out to 13 points. Again though, we did not surrender. Schwarze, who to me was a key in saving the game, took another strong mark and goaled. He had another mark, but this time kicked a behind, that was his only behind for the match. It's funny how a run of behinds can turn into a run of goals, as the score went from 6.13 to 12.13, before that miss.

Then, Vince levelled the scores, this time getting a favourable couple of bounces. Scores level with only a minute or so to play, but for all supporters at the ground, it was heart in mouth when Mahoney gathered the ball about 20 out in front. Then the siren! Unbelievable match, I want to thank both clubs supporters who came out today, because we saw a great game of SANFL, which was also another fantastic advert for the game on TV.

Both sides put on a great display of football, and it comes as no surprise to me that Glenelg look every bit as dangerous as their form suggests.

[Mickyj]

Well what a game .The Eagles should have had that game in the bag at 1/4 time .Then Glenelg could not have lost that game during the thrid quarter.What A last quarter !!
And I am pretty sure Roy Laird sitting near me in the grandstand went away from the game with plenty of notes on both teams.

All I can say is I am happy to come away with a draw and hold onto 3rd spot with the double chance .
Well done Glenelg what a might effort against my Eagles .That was a wake up call for the EAGLES and for all the other SANFL teams in the five.
