Round 2 Glenelg v Norwood

[norwood8]

Terrible game of football, must’ve been even uglier on TV. As others had said we were waiting for the game to break open but it just didn’t happen. The standard of umpiring matched the standard of the game, very average.

Even though we led by 24 points it didn’t feel like we wanted to go on with it. Overall, Norwood were pathetic and only lost by 8 points in the end, probably the only positive.

That McBean snap down the northern end was pure class.

Bays by 8 with one quarter of football.

Legs = Bitches

Unfortunately more Sheedy garbage.
Outcoached once again.

Bays were putrid for 3 quarters, Legs over butchered the ball, but more of a concern is the way they folded like a pack of cards in the last.

Bays should never have been in it at lemon time.

Our style is absolutely garbage. It didn’t stand up to the heat last year and it won’t this year.
Everyone could see that momentum shifted early in the last yet he tried nothing to slow it down and get it back on our terms.
He’s bang average

I’d have him back at Oval Ave!

Div 7 ammos standard by both sides

Port and Richmond say hold my beer….

Glenelg hung tough to snatch a character-building eight-point win against Norwood at Stratarama Stadium.

The Tigers led for just three minutes of the match and went without a goal for nearly an hour but still managed to conjure a stirring triumph under new coach Matthew Clarke.

Denying the Redlegs their first win at Brighton Road in nine years, the Bays slammed through 5.3 to the visitors’ one behind in the final quarter in front of a bumper crowd of 5125.

Kicking just two goals across the first three quarters, the Tigers finished with a flurry as captain Liam McBean booted two goals in the defining period including a brilliant dribbling snap on his left foot.

But it was former Sturt midfielder Joel Thiele, in just his second game for Glenelg, who put his team in front with a curling snap in the 25th minute.

Just two minutes later, Tiger Luke Partington sealed the deal with a set shot from 35m after earning a free kick for holding-the-ball.

Partington finished with 23 disposals while Corey Lyons (25 disposals) and Thiele (21 disposals, 10 in final term) were all important contributors.

Ruckman Cam McGree worked his way into early form by earning Hostplus Super Player status with 22 disposals, four marks and nine clearances against Magarey Medallist Harry Boyd.

Norwood’s Nik Rokahr (31 disposals, seven clearances) and Baynen Lowe (26 disposals) found plenty of the Sherrin while Aaron Francis marshalled the defence with 23 disposals and six marks.

Redlegs Tristan Binder, Jacob Kennerley and Charlie Molan each booted two goals.
