Credit to West Adelaide for their spirited fight back in the third quarter to pull the five goal half time margin back to one goal. There was a very important response during this quarter when our midfield won some vital clearances and a couple of important goals were kicked as a result.

"West Adelaide was very good and they made us work for every goal and every possession," Glenelg coach Mark Mickan said.

Bloods coach Andrew Collins lamented his side's poor decision making, especially taking the ball inside the attacking 50m.

"They got us at the stoppages" Collins said.

"Our turnovers....their pressure was terrific, really good."
