ROUND 21 v CENTRAL DISTRICT (27/8/06) 
After a promising start the Tigers were no match for the Bulldogs under lights at Hamra Homes Oval. Glenelg kicked the first two goals of the game and kept paced with the reigning premier up to half-time. However, weight of possession in the second half by Central Districts eventually wore down the Tigers. 

Consecutive losses has Glenelg slipping to fifth position on the premiership table just one game ahead of South Adelaide.  With a South Adelaide victory in round 22, the Tigers and the Panthers will playoff for fifth spot in the final round of the season. The Tigers have the bye in round 22. details

 ROUND 20 v NORTH ADELAIDE (19/8/06) 
Glenelg and North Adelaide served up a thrilling encounter on a brilliant winter's afternoon with the visitors winning by 4 points.  At the 25 minute mark Ian Perrie was the hero for the Roosters when he intercepted a Justin McConnell's pass (intended for Lucas Panozzo) 25 metres out from the North Adelaide goal. Captain Ben Mules had one last opportunity to snatch victory at the death but unfortunately his right foot snap from 30 metres went left of the goal post. Matthew Duldig was a stand out at full forward with seven goals. 

Richard Douglas was a late withdrawal due to being called up as an emergency for the Adelaide Crows. Peter 'Super ' Carey, captain of the 1986 premiership side, tossed the coin before the match. details

  ROUND 19 v STURT (12/8/06) 

ROUND 18 v NORWOOD (5/8/06) 
The Tigers move one game closer to claiming a finals place with a satisfying 43 point victory against the Redlegs. The visitors jumped the home side in the first quarter and for the remainder of the game showed character in withstanding every challenge. Glenelg's superior fitness was evident in the last quarter when they kicked the last six goals to blow Norwood away.

Justin McConnell with five goals in the second half was at his elusive best and Bryce Gibbs stamped his name as one of the best youngsters going around with 4 goals.  The defence was brilliantly led by veteran Paul Sherwood and John Hinge. details

ROUND 17 v PORT ADELAIDE (30/7/06) 
The Tigers came to the back-to-the-70's party with a thumping 81 point victory over their oldest and greatest nemesis. The game was practically over at quarter time when the home side slammed on 6 goals to 1 into a northerly breeze. An 8 goals to 2 second quarter stitched up the precious two points. 

Bryce Gibbs, the expert's choice to be selected first in the national draft, lived up to his billing with 6 goals in a near flawless display. Matthew Duldig (4 goals) as a strong target up forward caused headaches for the Magpies' defenders. Ben Moore, playing his 100th game, wore his passion for the Glenelg Football Club on his sleeve with a tenacious and consistent four quarter effort. 

The win was Glenelg's first victory over Port in 10 games, the last being in round 6 of 2002. It was their biggest winning margin against Port since round 1 in 1995 when a Tony Symonds coached side was victorious by 92 points under the lights at Football Park. 

With three wins the Seasiders have have jumped into fourth position and with a superior percentage are gunning for a top three finish. However, a minor round win is just that- a minor round win. More of the same is required over the last five weeks to secure a finals birth and then in the major round to win the ultimate prize.  details

ROUND 16 v WEST ADELAIDE (22/7/06) 
The Tigers blew away a pesky West Adelaide in the second half to record a massive 85 point victory. Trailing by 16 points at the first change and leading by 7 at half-time the Seasiders slammed on 18 goals to 5 in the second half. In the final quarter Glenelg kicked 11 goals to 2 behinds. Justin McConnell was best on ground with seven goals. 

Glenelg improve their record to 7 and 7 and move into the top five ahead of Norwood by percent. With losses to Central and Port the Tigers are one game out of third spot. details

TIGER VOTES

 1: S. Salopek 1

BACKWELL SIGNS (12/9/04) 
Brett Backwell has followed Heath Culpitt's lead and signed for another two years.  Along with Culpitt the talented mid-fielder is one of the favourites for the best and fairest.

GLENELG v NORWOOD (4/9/04) 
The Tigers gave their fans optimism for the future by smashing the Redlegs in the final game of the season.  Heath Culpitt and Billy Neely accumulated over 70 possessions in the 65 point victory. (details)

ROUND 23 PREVIEW (3/9/04) 
The Tigers take to the battlefield for the last time in 2004 against the woodenspooner Norwood.  It will also be the last time for 104 game veteran Damien Raidis who announced his retirement early this week.  The Tigers will be aiming for its third successive victory.  (details)

CULPITT SIGNS (1/9/04) 
Best and Fairest favourite Heath Culpitt has signed a two year contract.   Culpitt will be at the club until the end of 2006.

GLENELG v NORTH ADELAIDE (28/8/04) 
On an early Spring afternoon the Tigers dented North Adelaide's double chance aspirations with a deserving 24 point victory.  Power listed Steven Salopek turned the game on its head with a 4 goal final quarter blitz.  Salopek ended with 6 goals as the Tigers kicked 20 goals for the first time this year. 

The Seasiders ended a 5 year drought by recording back-to-back victories for the first time since 1999 and in the process condemned Norwood to the woodenspoon. 

The Tigers moved the ball with confidence from defence and constantly intimidated their finals bound opponent.  (details)

ROUND 22 PREVIEW (27/8/04) 
The Tigers will be confident in upsetting the third placed Roosters in the round 22 clash at Brighton Rd.  Glenelg welcome back Steven Salopek and Paul Allison but lost Josh Krueger due to a hamstring injury.  In their last clash, round 13, the Tigers upset the Roosters in a wet mudbath at Prospect Oval. (details)

ROUND 21  (22/8/04) 
Glenelg's finals dream was alive and kicking on Saturday afternoon after Centrals thumped Port Adelaide by 85 pts.  However, West Adelaide's narrow 2 point victory over Norwood on Sunday condemned the Tigers to their fifth consecutive year without September action.  In the final game of round 21, North Adelaide moved into third place with an 11 pt victory over the Double Blues.

ROUND 21 PREVIEW (21/8/04) 
The Tigers have the bye in round 21 but all tiger eyes will be focussed on NAP Oval on Saturday and Adelaide Oval on Sunday.  Glenelg's finals hopes will remain alive if the Doggies comfortably defeat the Magpies and the Redlegs upset the Bloods.  The Tigers will then need to defeat North Adelaide and Norwood in their remaining two games and hope other results go in their favour.

GLENELG v SOUTH ADELAIDE (14/8/04) 
Glenelg kept its distance from the woodenspoon and reignited slim hopes of playing finals football with a solid 28 point victory against the Panthers.  After a sluggish start the Tigers completely dominated the game and kept South to just one goal after quarter time.  The Tigers should have won by more but poor kicking in front of goal cost the Bays a badly needed percentage boost. (details)

ROUND 20 PREVIEW (13/8/04) 
With the finals now out of the question, the Tigers have a golden opportunity to end the season on a roll by winning their final three games.  The Tigers face North Adelaide, Norwood and starting on Saturday afternoon, South Adelaide.  Josh Kreuger has recovered from injury and veteran Damien Raidis and rookie Ruwoldt have been omitted. (details)

GLENELG v CENTRAL DISTRICTS (8/8/04) 
Despite being only the second side to kick 12 goals against Central Districts this year, the Tigers were no match for the Bulldogs.  When it mattered most, Centrals were too skillful and used the wide expanses of NAP Oval more efficently than their opponents.  (details)

ROUND 19 PREVIEW (30/7/04) 
The Tigers head north looking to break a 9 year drought at Elizabeth (NAP Oval).  The task will be less daunting with the inclusion of AFL experienced players Steven Salopek and Matthew Golding. (details)

GLENELG v EAGLES (1/8/04) 
The Tigers secured its fourth win of the season with a committed four quarter performance against the previous league leader.  Glenelg broke a five year hoodoo with its first victory against the Eagles since 1999.

On a heavy Glenelg Oval (mainly in the centre square), the Seasiders suprised their more fancied opponent with a tough and direct style of play.  Aiden Parker and Paul Sherwood were solid in defence and Brett Backwell made a welcome return with a calming performance in the midfield.  Ball magnet Heath Culpitt was inspirational with 5 magnificent goals. (details)

ROUND 18 PREVIEW (30/7/04) 
The Tigers face the league leaders, the Eagles, on Sunday afternoon.   Matthew Reavill, brother of Daniel, makes his league debut and Peter MacFarlane has been omitted.  Matthew Golding, best in the reserves last week, and Brett Backwell have been named as emergencies. (details)

GLENELG v STURT (24/7/04) 
The Tigers restored some creditabilty with the SANFL public by going down to third place Sturt by 6 points.  However, the Bays have recorded another loss in a game that should have been won.  Very little satisfaction should be taken out of the game. 

It was a familar script for the Tigers.  One poor quarter, outplay the opponent for the rest of the game and waste opportunities in the last quarter.  David Noble stated after round 15, 'we just don't know how win'.  The big question is, 'does David Noble know how to successfully teach a team to win?' 

Aiden Parker and Paul Sherwood were solid in defence, marking and repelling many Sturt thrusts.  Heath Culpitt was the catalyst to Glenelg's 7 goal second quarter.   Captain Ben Moore was a honest performer and Ben Mules collected many telling touches on the half-back-flank.
(details)

ROUND 17 PREVIEW (23/7/04) 
David Noble reacted savagely to Glenelg's embarrassing loss to Norwood last week.  Senior players Golding, Manfield and Panozzo were axed to make way for Krueger, Bloch, Ruwoldt, McFarlane and Mules.  Krueger and Mules will be playing for the first time this season and Ruwoldt and McFarlane will be debuting. 

Victory against the Double Blues will be one of the biggest turn-arounds in the club's history.  As last week's performance demonstrated, the history books can be rewritten.  (details)

COACHES COMMENTS (19/7/04) 
"The easy thing to say is 'it's all too hard' and walk away.  I'm staying, there's no question on that side.  The agreement when I came was for three years and I'll do that.  The supporters have got to see some stability." (details)

GLENELG v NORWOOD (16/7/04) 
Norwood completed humiliated the Tigers by 104 points in wet and cold conditions.  Glenelg's score of 
1 - 4 (10) was their lowest in 83 years of playing in the SANFL.  The previous lowest was 2 - 10 (22) against West Torrens at Thebarton Oval in 1926.

The Tigers showed no passion in the first half and when a heavy shower of rain arrived half-way through the second quarter the game was effectively over.  After the long break the Seasiders showed greater spirit, unfortunately it was directed more at the opposing player than the ball. 

Paul Allison and Brett Backwell were late omissions and were replaced by Craig Tasborski and Jack Horan.

The team of 1926 including Hall of Famers, Jim Handby, Jack Owens and Len Sallis will now sleep peacefully in their graves.  However, the same cannot be said for the current coaching staff and the players who represented the famous black and gold guernsey. (details)

ROUND 16 PREVIEW (16/7/04) 
The Tigers face Norwood in Friday night football at the Parade.  A win tonight will virtually condemn Norwood to the woodenspoon.  Nineteen year old Daniel Reavill will be debuting.  (details)

GLENELG v WEST ADELAIDE (10/7/04) 
The Tigers threw away a golden opportunity to win consecutive games with a hard fought loss to West Adelaide.  The loss will dampen tonight's celebrations of the 70th anniversary of Glenelg's first premiership victory and the induction of two more members into the Hall of Fame. (details)

ROUND 15 PREVIEW (9/7/04) 
After the week off the Tigers face West Adelaide at Glenelg Oval.  West Adelaide is coming off a 109 point loss to Port Adelaide in round 14.  Glenelg will be attempting to win back to back victories for the first time since 1999.  It was that same year that The Tigers last defeated West Adelaide.  Damien Raidis is welcome back into the side and will play his 100th game for Glenelg and Sturt.  Damien Hardwick has been recalled by the Power.  (details)

GLENELG v NORTH ADELAIDE (26/6/04) 
In a mud slog the Tigers recorded their third win for the season with a 15 point victory over North Adelaide.  Nathan Woods inspired the Tigers with three match winning goals. (details)

GLENELG v SOUTH ADELAIDE (19/6/04) 
In wet and windy conditions the Tigers once again feel asleep during the second and third quarters.  Glenelg won the toss and kicked with a strong 5 goal breeze but wasted early opportunities.  Three late goals in time-on rescued the home side from an embarrassing quarter. (details)

ROUND 15 PREVIEW (18/6/04) 
The Glenelg Football Club will hope to continue their 5 game winning streak against the Panthers on Saturday.  The Tigers gained Jacob Schuback, Damien Hardwick and Rowan Andrews and omitted Trevor Cranston, Nathan Woods and James Miller.  The Bays will be desperate to move off the foot of the table and South will be looking to keep in touch with the final five.  (details)

GLENELG v CENTRAL DISTRICTS (14/6/04)
After a spirited opening 32 minutes the Tigers were blown away by the reigning premiers.  The Dogs seized the iniative with 8 unanswered goals from the 4th minute mark of the second quarter to the 5th minute mark of the final quarter.  At this level of the game Glenelg's skill level and decision making was appalling resulting in far too many turn-overs. (details)

ROUND 11 PREVIEW (11/6/04) 
The Glenelg Football Club welcome back Jacob Schuback, Heath Culpitt, Josh Mahoney, Damien Hardwick and Steven Salopek for the Queen's Birthday Holiday Monday game against Central Districts.  Unfortunately, they lose the services of Matthew Bode who has been recalled by the Adelaide Crows. 

Despite the inclusions and the Dogs poor form last week (defeated by Sturt), the boys from the Bay will find the going tough in trying to reverse a 89 point thrashing in round 2 ((details)). 

The Tigers last defeated Central Districts in 1999.   (details)

GLENELG v PORT ADELAIDE (5/6/04) 
After two encouraging performances against West Adelaide and Norwood, Glenelg's loss to Port Adelaide  was disappointing to say the least. 

The Tigers outscored their opposition in the last quarter to avoid a humiliating defeat- a positive David Noble will take out of the game.  However, to the die-heart supporters who braved the cool conditions this was of little consolation. 

Once again the Bays failed to kick enough goals with just 4 up to three quarter time.  Matthew Golding and Paul Allison were the leading goal-kickers with 2 goals each. (details)

ROUND 10 PREVIEW (4/6/04) 
The Tigers, when they tackle Port Adelaide on Saturday, have their best chance of winning at Alberton since 1993 (details) .  Not one current day player was involved and/or would remember that day when coach Mark Williams lead the Tigers to a magnificent 84 point victory. 

Glenelg has rushed back into the side captain Ben Moore (hamstring), Matthew Bode (illness) and  welcomes new recruit Aiden Parker.  Parker, Crows listed player, transfered across from South Adelaide earlier this week hoping for more game time, especially at centre-half-back.   The Bays will miss centreman Heath Culpitt due to a one week suspension for striking.

The game will be telecasted on Channel 2 at 2.30pm.  This is the first Glenelg televised game since early last year when they comfortably defeated South Adelaide. 

GLENELG v WEST ADELAIDE (31/5/04) 
In a tight, hard fought battle Glenelg failed to record consecutive victories for the first time since 1999.  The Tigers held a slim 4 point lead at the main break but were outscored 6 goals to 3 in the second half.  The game was in the balance up until the 10 minute mark of the final quarter when the Bloods kicked a controversial goal.  (details)

ROUND 9 PREVIEW (28/5/04) 
The Tigers will be without skipper Ben Moore as they attempt to win back-to-back games for first time since 1999.  Moore twinged his hamstring in the third quarter against Norwood last week.  However, he should only miss one or two games.  Jacob Schuback has been recalled by the Adelaide Crows for the clash against Hawthorn.  West Adelaide are ripe for the pickings- they have not experienced the taste of victory since round 3 when they defeated Port by 18 points. 

GLENELG v NORWOOD (23/5/04) 
The Bays delivered the goods for just the second time this year when it defeated Macca's Redlegs by 31 points.  The home side secured the win with a decisive 8 goals to 1 final quarter.  (details)

ROUND 8 v NORWOOD (21/5/04) 
Matthew Bode and Damien Hardwick are inclusions for the vital round 8 clash against Norwood on Sunday.  Bode was dropped by the Crows and Hardwick is returning from injury.  It is Hardwick's first game since the round 3 game against the Double Blues. 

GLENELG v EAGLES  (17/5/04) 
After dominating the Eagles in the first half the Tigers blew a golden opportunity to defeat their more fancied opponents. 

The Eagles won the toss and elected to kick with the aid of a 4 goal wind.  Glenelg outsmarted their opponents to setup a potential match winning second quarter with the wind. (details)

COACHES' COMMENTS (4/5/04)
"When you turn up to work you've got to be reliable and diligent in your work and we weren't reliable and diligent in what we did over a full game... Our third quarter was very, very poor... If you've watched our games- apart from the Central one- we've been more around the mark than we have been but again it's just consistency." (details)

GLENELG v PORT ADELAIDE  (1/4/04) 
Glenelg came storming home in the last quarter but it was not enough to defeat the Magpies.  A six goal final quarter reduced a 51 point three quarter time deficit to 14 points at the final siren.  Port Adelaide established a match winning lead with a powerful 7 goals to 1 third quarter. (details)

COACHES' COMMENTS (27/4/04)
"I'd hoped that we'd turned the corner a bit last week but I'd like to think Saturday's win was a start of that turn.... We started with a quicker forward line which helps in these conditions but I think our quickness and our movement of the ball was probably the best it's been.... Mahoney's ability to put himself in the right spot to hold the play up and then create the run of momentum from our back end was excellent." (details)

GLENELG v SOUTH ADELAIDE  (25/4/04)
Glenelg rewarded the faithful with a hard fought 28 point win over their southern neighbour.  The win was the Tigers' first for the season and leaves them one game outside the top five. (details)

GLENELG v SOUTH ADELAIDE PREVIEW (23/4/04)
David Noble and the selectors welcome back Josh Mahoney and Jacob Schuback for the all important local derby against South Adelaide.  However, Damien Hardwick was unavailable due to an ankle injury sustained last week against Sturt.   Nigel Smart will play his first game for the Panthers since 1991 after being dropped by the Adelaide Crows.  (details)

GLENELG v STURT (19/4/04)
The Tigers matched the Double Blues in the first half at Unley Oval and an upset appeared a possibility.  However, Sturt's 5 goal to 1 wind assisted third quarter condemned Glenelg to a hat-trick of losses.  Glenelg controlled the opening 13 minutes of the final quarter but failed to hurt the Blues on the scoreboard. 
Matthew Bode was a late omission after being recalled to the Adelaide Crows side. (details)

KOSTER QUITS (22/3/04)
