2nds Port Adelaide vs Glenelg - Round 16 @ Alberton

[RossFC]

Saturday 12th of August 4:40pm at Alberton Oval. Streaming on the AFL website/app.

Pending the injury list: Fantasia and Barkla (Quads) and McCallum (Appendix) should be assessed.

Some more players could be pushed down if Aliir, Jones, Bergman, Farrell and Finlayson are ok for the AFL side.

Sinn and Hugh Ferrari out with hammys.

Sutcliffe will return from his 1 match ban. Narkle didn't play 2 weeks ago so he can play here as well.

Note: This game is the day before the AFL game, so the sub (EG: Evans) won't play. An emergency may be held back as well.

After our loss in the SANFL Showdown, we stay in 4th spot. A game and 3% clear of 6th.

[RossFC]

Down 22 to 8 at quarter time

 

[Portwon]

.At the game and there does appear to be some effort there (which augurs well for tommorow).

Just not enough talent or skill , maturity or structure.

 

[RossFC]

Hagan gets a htb free kick and goals from 45.

Down 22 to 14 2mins into the 2nd

 

[RossFC]

Down 28 to 18 half time

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Turned it around that quarter, definitely on top. Just ball handling errors when on the attack hurt us.

Mead, Jackson and Sutcliffe major ball winners. Teakle has done a few good things.

 

[RustyCage]

That’s goal of the year wrapped up for Reynolds

 

[RossFC]

Nick Moore from 50 with some late swing and he gets his 2nd!

Down 34 to 25 10mins into the 3rd

Orazio sells a dummy then goals on the run from 45!

Down 38 to 31 24mins into the 3rd

Fantasia!

 

[RossFC]

3 qtr time

 

[RustyCage]

Two quick goals to the Bays to start the last. Need the next or it could be game

Nick Moore with a great snap from 35 for his 3rd!

Down 50 to 38 8mins into the last

Have been watching the soccer so I have not seen much but the lights look pretty good. Seems we lack a go to forward.
