Round 17
GLENELG took a big step towards finals action, wrenching fourth spot from the Port Magpies after belting them in front of a big Brighton Rd crowd on Sunday.
The “Back to the 70's” theme seemed an appropriate one for the Tigers, duplicating the form of a time when they were consistently a feared force at their home ground.
The 81-point victory smashed a 10-game losing streak against their bitter foes, and was the ideal way to celebrate Ben Moore's 100th appearance in the black and gold.
Kicking against a stiff first quarter breeze, Glenelg's fierce desire was evident, with their tackling, smothering and forward-line pressure restricting Port to just a goal with the wind.
The Tigers added eight further goals with the breeze at their backs to take an unassailable advantage into the long break. On-ballers Brett Backwell, with 27 possessions to half-time and Bryce Gibbs, with four first-half goals (six overall) were the main beneficiaries of Trevor Cranston's good ruckwork.
The Bays didn't have a passenger and continued to pepper the goals in the second half, with 14 different players finding the major scoring zone overall.
The only disappointment was a wasteful 7.9 in the last quarter, costing a 100-plus result, nevertheless it was still a very handy percentage boost.
After the game coach Mark Mickan was happy with his charges' “one percenters” and work around the contests.
“We applied good pressure, a lot of opportunities were taken, we scored from them quite consistently,” he said. A big clash next Saturday at Norwood looms and Mickan expects a far tougher Redlegs than when they last met.
“They're the in-form team in the competition at the moment,” he said.
