Sturt vs Bays Review Thread

[Wedgie]

"Worrying times for Bays supporters".. Wedgie... you gotta be ***ing kidding me. Top of the ladder... 10 & 1... a massive win v Doggies last week... lost Fisher pre game.. lost Roo then Murph.... 4 points down kicking into a massive breeze last qtr.. yet had the balls to WILL themselves across the line. Didn't play well no doubt but it takes all sorts of qualities to get across the line... today it was guts and TEAM spirit. Dug deep.

AT NO STAGE am I suggesting that Sturt weren't up against it with injuries and the loss of AFL players. But to suggest we should be concerned... is a ridiculous statement. ONE loss hurts no-one.

If you're looking at winning the flag I think you should be, if you're looking at just getting near the mark then I agree you have no worry, the Bays should have won by 40+ today if they were a serious flag threat IMHO. Im not so sure why people get so upset about an honest appraisal.

Anyway, apparantley there were more than 11k there today (massive effort from 2 clubs that struggled to draw crowds not too long in the past) and Im very interested in what it was like to be there today atmosphere as that hasn't been encountered at a stand alone SANFL game since the late 90s, haven't had one real insight yet but am dying for one, come on Sturt and Glenelg fans, get your journalistic skills together and inspire us, PLEASE!
AT the very least, where's some pics? We've already had 2 people put up pics from a crap game at Alberton, surely someone could put up some pics from the game of the season between Glenelg and Sturt's reserves side?

And to all the Sturt supporters who said they had 7 players out, AFL listed players dont COUNT so get over it!

so if a Glenelg AFL listed player kicks the winning goal in the grand final does that mean you dont win the flag?

we dont need afl listed players mate, if you do, your dont deserve to be there

Cool. I hope The Bays wont be selecting any AFL players if they're available come finals time.

Anyone have photos of the crowd?

Port players don't count as they're so ordinary. Even Marlon Motlop can't get a game for a poor North side yet still was in Port's AFL squad today!

We only have 1 AFL listed player ATM and he is more than likely going to be kicking dew off shortly...

had our chances in the 3rd qtr and couldnt capitalize. not sure if the wind died down in the last but it was there for the taking sturt. now have the bye to rest up some players and refresh for the next game. .

Had their chances in the fourth. No less than four plum chances for goal were fluffed, resulting in 0.2. Bays won with some guts - but not without a hefty dose of luck. Credit to the Blues for taking it up to the Bays with a third of their regular starters out; they have my respect.

hey baysboy, 6 first team players out, and we go down by 8 points, that was a good bloody effort. glenelg were at full strength and that is all you can do. i am happy to wait until the game with both at full strength and see who the winners are.

A game with both at full strength? Like the match at Unley earlier this year?

[Pseudo]

For Sturt to get so close with half their side is very impressive, this game has turned the Bays from being Flag favourites to the Double Blues to being favourites IMHO.
Any other week and the Blues would have had a 6-8 goal better side.
Worrying times for Bays supporters.
Morale victors today was easily Sturt.
Wouldn't suprise me to see Glenelg start sliding after an effort like that today.

I see the Bays are drawn to play the Roosters next week

No need to turn on our own Dutchy. Has been part of the side for the majority of the year that has got to 10 & 1.

And its been moved to a Sunday to assist the away team too. Sturt at full strength beat us by 106 points so Im tipping Glenelg by about 70 points as a full strength Sturt is about 6 goals better than a full strength Glenelg at this stage of the year IMHO. They might prove me wrong though.

Turn on our own? Huh? I was stating that we only have 1 AFL player in our team, and IMO he is in our bottom 2-3 and could be struggling to hold his place...opinion...Im allowed to have one...

i thought that sturt may run away with it in the last, but i underestimated the guts and determination of a great footy side

It's June

Greatness comes with flags

A fine run of excellent form yes. Greatness ..... you have got to be jokeing

Maybe if anyone but a Sturt supporter had said that it wouldn't look like sourgrapes, so as a North supporter It's June

Thanks John

[Dutchy]

10 Wins in a row = great side

I dont care if its Under 8's...still a great achievement

[stampy]

our last qtr was "great" nothing more nothing less, i dont expect sturt or north supporters to agree with me, as both teams currently are our bitches, so say what you like, the joke is on everyone else as far as i'm concerned, look at the ladder in the morning, time to play that song again hey dutchy!

[grant j]

Criticism from Sturt and North supporters. Wow

Strut lost to us today= Glenelg's bitches
North lost to port today are also Glenelg's bitches



Only 3 sides, Glenelg, Strut, Centrals, at the moment look like they have a chance for the flag.
And any could win on their day.

October is a long way away.
