THE COACH
(Peter Simmons)
"We
can't go on for the rest of the year promising- we kicked 16 goals yesterday
and last week and we wanted to increase our scoring ability...But we just
let the ball go too easily out of our forward line, we don't read off hands
across our half-forward line..."

COMMENTS
The
Tigers 12 year Alberton drought continues as the Tigers were brave in their
15 point loss to the Magpies. For the second week in a row the game
was played in mid 30 degree weather.
Glenelg
had Port on toast at three quarter time, trailing by a slim margin and
coming home with the aid of a 3 goal breeze.
After
David Mitchell kicked his third goal in the second quarter it appeared
that the visitors would have a handy buffer at half-time. However,
to their credit, the Magpies stole the initiative with 2 late goals, including
one on the siren.
David
Mitchell was kept scoreless after half-time and other than Sudjai Cook
(4 goals) the Tigers lacked threatening options up forward.
After
a bye in round 4, the Tigers face a must win game against their southern
neighbour, South Adelaide. The result could ultimately determine
Glenelg's major round aspirations.
