Round 10: Glenelg v Eagles - Saturday 24 June @ Gliderol Stadium

I was waiting someone else to post
That was a game the Eagles shouldn't have won
Would like to know besides big guns out why the Eagles take to either part way through the third or into the fourth term to win .
But saying that whatever they were told at 1/2 time by Gods worked
Glenelg were the better team for roughly 2 and 1/2 terms . But were really over defensive in the fourth term

Ran out of legs in the last as we had no one on the bench. Losing Agnew in the first minute of the day cost us big time both in terms of interchange and his run out of defence we were missing.

The bays didn't show up for the last quarter, got absolutely smashed in the middle and couldn't get their hands on the ball. Disappointing as we looked the better team in the first 2 and 1/2 terms. Two late goals in time-on of the third from the Eagles hurt, one from a push in the back that wasn't called and a mark on the siren that was touch and go.

Bombers mark your talking about it's a bit of a talk fest
Those standing near the grand stand say it was after the mark those of us near the tennis courts siren was after the mark .
Saying that no one could say that cost Glenelg the game Eagles kiched the last 5 out of 6 goals . I read somewhere online the amount of inside 50s in the last 38 mins exact number escapes me maybe one to Glenelg the rest to the Eagles .
Somehow after 1/2 time the game changed
You lost a player early like the eagles did against south
One of the big differences Eagles big guns out
One of the two coming back was Boyd he got the ball out of the centre bounces missed that for weeks

If we are talking sirens why was the siren sounded before the game ended on Saturday

They way the last quarter was played the disputed mark didn't decide the game. More of a momentum swing but the Tigers should have been able to overcome it. Eagles were much too good in the last and the Bays couldn't get it out of defence for minutes at a time.

The last siren started to sound just as the umpire signalled all clear so I presume the time keeper turned it off again. Must have been 0.1 seconds left as when the ump bounced the ball afterwards the siren sounded before it came down.

From the outer side i thought the siren sounded marginally before Boorholm marked it, having said that if the loud speakers were on & picked up the siren then that would be why i heard it apparently before the umpires did, however being that close there is no argument as it could have been called both ways & we got the short end of the stick......have to concentrate on Central rather than this....


umpire Schramm (not sure of how his name is spelt)

when Ian Milera went down the Eagles players were demanding a free kick for their team mate getting kicked in the leg, umpire Schramm clearly said ''they got each other in the legs, do you want me to pay 2 free kicks'' i thought that was great umpiring

After watching the game live then re watching it on the tv on the 7 app
Firstly it is much better to be at the game than tv watching
Commentary not sure which guy wasn't kept saying the bay fans throwing pencils and budgets and hats at the umpires probably while meant in fun has got some bay fans up in arms .
Honestly the tv did that game little judgement
The bay's yep running down the ground
When some good things were going on on the grandstand side.
All the camera men or ladies could film was number 13 going over the line and back on .
Whatever went on in the game was missed
From where I was sitting the Thompson spoils or stopping number 7 from taking overhead marks in the last . Was great live but basically couldn't be seen from the tv .
Same with the other captain Guff who pressured number 13 so much and forced him to kick out on the full didn't look so good on the tv.
Saying that I'm sure the same could be found by bays fans
At least the tv backed me up the siren going 20 seconds early in the last term

But like bayman says that game is gone Port this week another hard game
