SANFL 2006 ROUND 13:
GLENELG v NORTH ADELAIDE
Wasteful Tigers on the slide
By JEFF CRAWFORD
The Roosters never really looked to be threatened by the Tigers, who
wasted the ball too many times during promising attacks.
Roosters coach Andrew Jarman would have been
overjoyed to see his skilful side win so convincingly in such difficult
conditions, not really the sort of weather conducive to the flowing,
all-attacking play he preaches.
Not even the imposing presence of Crows ruckman Matthew Clarke, playing
his first game in a Glenelg guernsey,
was enough to lessen the domination of Rooster on-ballers
Heath Younie, Darryl Wintle,
Scott Bamford and Dean Howard around the many
stoppages. Mark Mickan's side occasionally moved the
ball well, particularly off the half-back line through Ben Mules, John Hinge
and impressive big man Daniel Kirk, but were let down by poor wet weather
skills in the forward lines.
The Bays didn't appear to have a clear target, except for a brief time
when Clarke went forward to kick one goal and set up another, but the ball just
wasn't in Glenelg's attacking zone enough for him to be a threat.
Brett Backwell and wingman Justin McConnell
worked tirelessly all day for the Tigers, but were overcome by weight of
numbers.
Glenelg goes into the bye with three successive losses and then takes
on all-conquering
The Roosters next face the Panthers at Prospect, which promises to be a
high-scoring shootout, before their last bye of the season.
