TIGERS DEFEAT THE BLOODS AT RICHMOND
GLENELG wasted no time brushing aside any thought last year's finals nightmare would be an issue this season with a comprehensive victory over West Adelaide today.
Coming off an impressive thumping of Norwood in the opening round, the Tigers turned up the heat on the Bloods to claim a 26-point win which was more convincing than the margin indicates.
The Tigers, who dropped out of last year's premiership race in straight sets in the finals, recorded a whopping 60 tackles, evidence of their tremendous workrate.
"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."

-== Coach's Comments ==
-Saturday's win over West Adelaide was hard fought. West Adelaide demonstrated in 2009 that they were an improved team and early indications are that that improvement is set to continue.
-The game was an arm wrestle from the start. The speed of movement of the ball and the pressure applied by both teams was intense.
-The second quarter was significant when our players moved the ball with speed and precision while continuing to apply good pressure to the opposition.
-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.
-Strong on field leadership is important for such a response to occur and this was maintained in the final quarter which made way for a hard earned 26 point win.
-Thanks to the typically strong Glenelg representation of support at City Mazda last Saturday.
-We will be looking for a strong four quarter performance against Sturt at House Brothers Oval this Saturday and another excellent Glenelg presence in the crowd.
