WEST

West Adelaide has regained first-choice ruckman Andre Parrella for its encounter with Glenelg at Hisense Stadium.

A late withdrawal in Round 3 due to an illness, Parrella has been thrust straight back into the side in place of Stuart Taverner, who was sent back to the Reserves.

The former Double Blues giant has been joined in the Bloods’ 25-man squad by fellow tall Jade Cleeland, midfielder Hugh Haysman and possible debutant Tom Morrish, who hails from Ouyen United in country Victoria.

Former Hawthorn utility Dallas Willsmore was unable to recover from his groin ailment to be considered for selection.

GLENELG

Glenelg has recalled premiership defenders Michael Virgin and Jonty Scharenberg to confront West at Hisense Stadium.

Both players have been named on a seven-man extended interchange, alongside former Port forward Jack Kluske.

Potential debutants Angus Weir (Robe) and Dylan Morton (Wagga Wagga) have also been included in the 25-man squad.

Glenelg by at least 6 goals

Thought Taverner on debut did more than enough last week to keep his spot. Unlucky to be dropped.

West really put in last week and had some impressive moments. Tilthorpe is very impressive up forward and competes for everything. A natural.

Glenelg have been patchy, but every game they have played has been a kick or less and that may continue.

Glenelg by a goal.

You’d hope the boys will be stinging from last week.
A couple of good “ins”, Bays by 5 goals.

Digital pass is great.

Bays 2 goals up against West 16 min mark of the 3rd.

Were up by 5 at the half.

Few Tubbies in the Westies twos

Up by 17 pts at 3/4 time

Bays wasteful but lead 4 6 to 4 1

Westies playing some good footy here, seem like they want it a bit more.

Absolutely want it, playing in front, working harder, executing their skills better, and protecting each other.

Our lack of cohesion is being exposed.

14 mins last Stanza

West 10.1

Glenelg 7.6

Glenelg cant win. Not even trying to attack

Glenelg players suffer serious allergy to the centre corridor.

I don’t want to hear how there are 9 missing from the Premiership side.
Work rate & desperation was sorely lacking today & we were shown up big time.

What Spargo said. I only caught the second half on the box. Going by that half, Glenelg was lucky to be within 50 points of the Bloods at the end. West hard at the ball, players backing each other, putting in 100% all day, and dare I say an absolute treat to watch. Bays not in the same league today; plenty of work to do.

Yup, work rate, Playing in front, protection of mates with the ball all lacking.

Brilliant game by the Bloods.

By far best 4 quarter effort for 18 months +

True team performance with “all played well”.

Hope this gives the team (and their supporters) confidence moving forward

Oh. My. God, just got home from footy and checked the score. Awesome!

The way your mob went today reminded me of North and The Bays in their recent flag years. A group of blokes who have bought into what the coach is saying and are willing to bust their balls for their teammates. The quality of your list isn't as good at this stage but some very promising signs.
