Our starts haven’t been great over the past 2 games and although the scoreboard wasn’t ticking over at a high rate, I felt we were getting the game on our terms early. The 2nd quarter was a strong one and we scored quickly from repeat entries and forward pressure.

We put together 3 quarters of pretty complete footy - in all phases - offence, contest, defence transition and showed our football capability. The last quarter was 6 goals to 6 but the eagles had 11 shots and won the quarter.

We’ll take the points and keep building our brand. The only low-light was the injury to Carl Nicholson who will miss a couple of weeks.

Next we go to Elizabeth to take on Centrals - and we look forward to that challenge.

Over the 2019 journey we have made massive strides with the development of our squad. The 6 week skill development program we put our players through in the offseason has definitely yielded significant improvement. When you watch them now, you wouldn’t know some of our well performed players couldn’t kick a drop punt before joining us, let alone being able to do it on the run and under pressure. 

We started our final minor round game conceding a soft goal, but managed to get control of the game soon after with first quarter goals to Ellen Fauser, Lucy Bellinger and Ebony Marinoff.

The second quarter was very much a grind, with a solitary goal to Bonnie wells, who cleverly kicked the ball off the ground on her non preferred left foot.

Lucy Armitage kicked a couple of goals in the third quarter, while the Eagles kicked one themselves.

The Eagles lifted significantly in the last quarter, making some good positional changes that gave them some ascendency. The Eagles kicked three goals to our one from Sam Franson, giving us a 19 point win along with that spot in the finals. The margin was irrelevant, we would have taken a 1 point win in a heartbeat!

Last week we made pact not to worry about the result of the South-West game while we were playing our game. We just wanted to remain solely focused on what we were doing, ‘control the controllables’. The scream and excitement from the players once I informed them we were playing finals for the first time ever made the hair on the back of my neck stand up.

When you’ve come from as far back as we have, we make sure our playing group enjoys each and every win along the way. The only rule around this is once we get back to training the next week, we knuckle down and get back to work. This week is no different. 

Whilst we did need a result out of our control to go our way to make the finals, we definitely did earn this opportunity. Our percentage alone is a key indicator of this. However we don’t believe we have achieved anything yet. Making finals is just one piece of the puzzle and certainly not the end destination. We had to play three elimination finals just to give ourselves a chance to make the finals. We are as finals hardened as anyone can be. We believe our best is definitely good enough to compete with anyone. 

This week we play our first ever final - an elimination Semi Final against North Adelaide 6pm Friday 10th May at Norwood Oval. The team would truly appreciate all your support.

 

Glenelg 7.9-51 defeated Woodville West Torrens 5.2-32

Goals: Lucy Armitage (2) Ellen Fauser (1) Lucy Bellinger (1) Ebony Marinoff (1) Bonnie Wells (1) Sam Franson (1)

Best: Ebony Marinoff, Ellen Fauser, Sam Franson, Caitlin Gould, Sheridan Howell, Tasja Batzavalis

The boys from the Bay turned their season around after sitting 7th on the table only a month earlier, to take home the Torrens Univesity Cup for the fourth consecutive year.

Lead by Co-Captains Kane Viska and Harry McInnes, the Tigers enjoyed a 39 point victory over a gallant West Adelaide at City Mazda Stadium. 

A 6 goal to 1 second term set up the victory, lead by Hugh Stagg and Nasiah Wangeneen each kicking 2 for the quarter. Will Watts led the way with the ball, finishing the day with a game-high 33 disposals and a goal.

Curran, in his first year as sole-skipper has enjoyed a strong start to 2019 averaging 22 disposals and leading the Tigers to a 3-1-1 start to the year. Proud, coming off a career best year in 2018 has been instrumental in defence as the Tigers in his first season as Vice-Captain.

This year's State Game will be played at Optus Stadium, as a curtain raiser to the Round 8 AFL match between Fremantle and Richmond.

It might not be your night but it can be your moment.

And it’s fair to say Glenelg’s livewire forward Lachie Hosie lived this theme to full extent as the Bays produced a stirring 16-point win against West Adelaide at City Mazda Stadium on Wednesday night.

Hosie’s personal game was a microcosm of his team’s as he threatened to break the contest open in the third before helping burst the dam open in a rampant final quarter which yielded six goals for the visitors while keeping West to just one.

With outstanding captain Chris Curran and his deputy Max Proud keeping the Tigers in the game with their stunning defence and intercept marking, Hosie was set to rue a string of three consecutive behinds as his team tried to claw back into the contest.

In the space of three minutes during the third term, Hosie – pictured above – missed from 10m at the top of the goal square and twice from kickable angles inside 50m as the Bays limped to 4.11 at the final change.

But everything changed as Mark Stone’s men produced a final quarter flurry and it was the Tigers’ No.20 right in the thick of it.

Marlon Motlop – who worked incredibly hard both ways for the Bays to collect a team high 25 disposals – snapped truly from 20m to cut the margin to eight points.

Then, within 120 seconds, Hosie put his side in front as he got on the end of two pieces of neat team play to run into two open goals.

The first was a deep ball inside 50m which he won the race for ahead of fellow forward Luke Reynolds, who also booted two final term majors to help seal the deal.

The second came from an outstanding handpass from Geelong recruit Cory Gregson, who cleared the congestion to put Hosie into a position of advantage.

By the time Darcy Bailey threw the ball into his boot in traffic to put Glenelg in front by 9 points nearing time-on, the game’s complexion had completed changed.

The Tigers put another on the board from Reynolds before controlling the clock as Westies tried valiantly to put themselves back in front.

West’s midfield, led by Will Snelling with 27 touches, had been winning the arm wrestle for the majority of the night.

But ultimately, those like captain Tom Keough who battled hard for 21 disposals and eight clearances, former skipper Chris Schmidt and star on-baller Kaine Stevens, faded in the final term after previously doing the bulk of the grunt work for the hosts.

It will be a tough result to swallow for the Bloods given they produced their best football of the season in eclipsing the Eagles by 37 points just five days earlier at the same venue.

Suddenly, instead of keeping in touch with the top five at 2-3, the Bloods now remain ninth with a 1-4 win-loss count ahead of a Round 6 engagement with South Adelaide at Flinders University Stadium.

In contrast, Glenelg now sits with a 3-1-1 win-loss-draw record ahead of its next clash in Round 6 against the Eagles at ACH Group Stadium.

However regaining Matt Snook and Luke Partington were handy ins to match up on Sturt’s powerful midfield. 

It’s was always going to be a tough close contest and it planned out that way.

Sturt threw a tactical challenge at us early which we handled OK, but they still got a key ball user free for a period. We made some adjustments and got things back on an even keel going into the main break.

We certainly didn’t play our best footy and some of our connection from mids to forwards wasn’t great but yet we scored at 50% of entries. The 15 minute mark of the 3rd quarter was pivotal and we were able to get some stoppage ascendancy and score 3 quick goals off the back of some good centre bounce work.

We had to hang in hard in the last with Aaron Joseph unable to return and Jonty Scharenberg feeling ill for half the quarter. We dug deep and got to the line and should’ve put the game to bed but missed some easy shots on goal.

Great win against a real quality team with plenty on the line. Next up - West Adelaide Wednesday night.

To underpin this statement, the players have 5 agreed and shared behaviours or actions, that they believe will not only give life to our trademark, but also help us win games and become a great team.

Every game, each player votes for a team-mate that they believe displayed these traits the best for the day. The player with the most peer votes earns the “trademark award”  

This is more highly valued by the players, than awards decided by Coaches because their team-mates have cast the votes.

Scott suffered a broken radius after landing heavily in a marking contest late in the fourth quarter, where he was taken to hospital and underwent surgery on Sunday night.

He is expected to miss at least 6 weeks. 

 

For the majority of the game we were outplayed and although the stats and our KPI’s look good, there were certain fundamental areas of the game where South were too good.

Their key forwards gave us some headaches, their backs defended well and then ran hard forward in attack. But we hung in, adjusted a few things structurally and showed our fitness is really strong and fought it out right to the 100th minute. The last quarter was a great example of our capability if we combine work rate and game plan and gives us confidence as a group.

Jesse white was superb in the ruck and voted by his peers as our best.

Congratulations to Brad Crabb on reaching 200 games and all the best for the remainder of the season. This Friday we take on Sturt at ACH Group stadium and need all our members and supporters to ride us home again.

Here’s to a big 2019 season. GO TIGERS!

The second half was much the same as the first. Norwood played a very organised and structured style of play and spread hard and fast in offence. Our players were also implementing a positive style of football and beginning the show understanding of transition run from offence to defence. The ability to win the contested ball and then release supportive outside runners was also positive and progressive sign.

Players’ impact on the game came and went, with more consistent performers being Beau McRae and Jesse Boag down back with their composed possessions and skill execution, Sam Wormald and Reid Kullers ability to win contested football around stoppages, Riley Holders willingness to shoulder the bulk of the ruck and Callum Parks run and creativity on the wing.

Round 2 we played South Adelaide, who were coming off a big round 1 win. The first and a second halves were at either end of the spectrum.

The first half saw our ability to wing contested football, hunt the ground balls, spread in offence and our disposal efficiency all at levels and standards we look to set. This resulted in controlled possession and scoreboard pressure.

The second half we fell away from our standards and organisation, letting South Adelaide back into the match. To the players credit, they were able to hang on in a scrappy affair late in the last to secure a close victory.

We now move on to play the ladder leaders and undefeated Woodville West Torrens. 

Round 2 was against North Adelaide. After a slow start in the first quarter the players were able to get themselves organised and composed on their execution to kick 5 unanswered goals in the second quarter. The second half was an even tussle, with both sides having positive transitions of play. After being challenged late in the 3rd quarter the players were able to hit back and finish the game strong to hold on to a 19-point victory.
 
Round 3 was against Central Districts at Elizabeth. Another strong first half, with efficient ball movement and forward line pressure, had the team in a commanding position at half time. Following the break complacency and skill errors came into the game, which Centrals took advantage of. Late in the 4th, they were within a couple of goals, however we managed to steady and hold on for a 10 point victory.
 
Round 4 was against the winless Norwood, who had played in a number of close matches. Following an even first quarter, the boys fell away in the second as they lost their organisation and efficiency which Norwood took advantage of. With some reflection at halftime, the players hit back in the 3rd to be within 2 points at the last change. However, Norwood were able to get the ascendency back in the last, kicking 4 goals to 2 to the scoring end.
 
Round 5 was against an evenly matched South Adelaide. We started well but gave up a couple of goals through basic skill and fundamental errors. South began to get right on top towards the end of the second quarter. and had a handy lead at the main break. The second half was completely unacceptable as South ran out 72-point winners and left the coaching and playing group embarrassed as we went away from our team values.
 
We now have two matches left and need to have wins in both to have a chance at the finals and the focus will be to get back to playing team first, disciplined footy which is when we’re at our best. Despite the results, the coaching group has been focussed and committed to a program that focusses on holistic player development, developing player standards and improving fundamentals and game understanding.  

In what was a quick 1st quarter we managed to score without playing great footy in a tough physical start to the game. The 2nd produced some our better footy even though the Crows scored and probably won the quarter. I still felt we were applying pressure and hitting in at the contest and scrounged a couple of goals to stay in front.

The stoppages were a concern at half time and we tried some things to adjust and rectify the problem. We had some immediate affect in the centre bounces and managed to defend stoppages well even though we were really outsized and out-classed at ball ups.

The second half produced 11 goals and some of our most efficient ball use on the back of great team shape and defence. Liam McBean got the lick of the ice cream with 9 goals but without Jesse white shouldering the ruck we wouldn’t have been able to keep him deep. He was well supported by Scott Reynolds and Hosie who cleared out at the right times. I also thought our backs were solid and worked well as a group to repel attacks

Overall, a strong willed effort against a good Crows outfit 

This week we look forward to hunting the league leaders South Adelaide at home 

GLENELG 18.7 (115) def. ADELAIDE 9.8 (62)

GOALS: McBean 9, Reynolds 3, Hosie 2, Gregson, Koster, Scott, White

Norwood snatched a last-gasp five-point win against a desperate Glenelg to kick off its year of redemption at The Parade on Friday night.

Trailing for the majority of the evening, the Redlegs showed off their poise at critical moments in a tense final term, kicking 4.6 to the Bays’ 1.5.

The visitors led by a handy 13-point margin 15 minutes into the final term when elusive forward Lachlan Hosie snapped a behind near the top of the goal square.

Norwood – led by a dominant Lewis Johnston with 37 disposals – then ran the ball the length of the ground before Ed Smart marked on the lead and converted his tough set shot from 40m out near the boundary line.

Just two minutes later, Matthew Panos stepped up to nail an impressive long-range goal from outside 50m to put his side within a point.

An outstanding piece of ruckwork by premiership bigman Sam Baulderstone then put Dom Barry in prime position to snap truly from 30m and give the hosts the lead 21 minutes into the final term.

Glenelg refused to concede it was done yet though, with returning utility Brad Agnew – spending more time through the midfield – took a strong chest mark only to see his set shot touched on the line for a behind.

A desperate lunging spoil from Tiger Luke Reynolds allowed former skipper Andrew Bradley to snap on goal but the narrow miss ensured the final margin would remain at five points, with Norwood backman Mitch Wilkins taking an important defensive mark seconds later to ice the contest.

It wasn’t pretty for the Redlegs – they had 69 more disposals, 22 more inside 50m entries, eight more clearances and five more scoring shots – yet only won by less than a goal.

But coach Jarrod Cotton will be satisfied with the premiership points given the rust in his team’s performance.

Dual Magarey Medallist Mitch Grigg was again influential for the Redlegs, notching two goals and 33 disposals while Matthew Nunn and Declan Hamilton also worked hard through the middle and half-forward.

The absence of captain Jace Bode after half-time was also a factor for Norwood, with the skipper leaving the ground at the 20-minute mark of the third term with a dislocated shoulder. Early diagnosis is that Bode may miss 1-2 weeks in recovery.

Despite the loss, there were plenty of positives for Glenelg, including its efficiency with ball in hand amid the slippery conditions.

Midfield recruit Luke Partington kicked a gutsy goal in close during the first term to go with his team-high 26 disposals while 18-year-old AFL Draft prospect Will Gould played like he belonged at the level to rack up 24 touches on debut.

Entrusted with the Tigers’ kick-ins, Gould was able to handle the tough stuff physically while also use his ranging kick to positive affect.

Tiger forward Josh Scott was his hard-working self at centre-half forward, finshing with 20 disposals and 2.2 while former Swan Jesse White had an entertaining battle in the ruck with Baulderstone, with the two giants earning 39 disposals and 19 clearances between them.

Norwood will now face Central at X Convenience Oval in Round 2 while Glenelg will host Adelaide at ACH Group Stadium next Friday night.

Last year we had a glimpse of what is possible with hard work, discipline and a genuine belief in each other and winning our last six rounds by playing hard committed football. This has created an air of excitement about the 2019 season and an increased level of expectation in what success looks like for the Glenelg Football Club.

As always there will be plenty of challenges across the year, however a lot of work has been done in the last 12 months to ensure we embrace these challenges and continue to improve, remaining focused on our ultimate goal.  

There is no bigger challenge in the SANFL than playing Norwood at the Parade, and what a way for us to launch the season by making the trek out there this Friday night.  As supporters and members let’s do our bit by making the effort to get to the game and provide a powerful “Black & Gold” presence and strong support for the boys and ultimately help us come away with a win and perfect start to the year.

You may also have read in today’s paper that the SANFL Clubs are united in ensuring any SANFL player that may be picked up by Port Adelaide Football Club or the Adelaide Football Club in the new mid-season rookie draft be retained by their SANFL Club.  Whilst we accept the player would be required to train with the AFL club if rookie drafted.  We believe that they should be released to their SANFL Club to play if not selected for senior AFL duty.  We will continue to work with the other SANFL clubs and the SANFL to ensure the best result is achieved for the SANFL competition.

If you haven’t joined up as a GFC member please do it today, your support is critical to enable us to continue to grow and improve as a club.

Bring on Norwood Friday night and the 2019 season.

Go the bays.

The night was a chance to present our new Captain and recruits, recognise our 2019 Partners and unveil the new-look locker rooms to the 2019 playing group.

Club Captain Chris Curran was presented the famous number 5 guernsey by club legend and newly elected board Member, Peter Carey. Our 2019 recruits were also presented their playing guernseys by Senior Coach, Mark Stone.

This presentation was followed by the presentation of Players to their 2019 Player Sponsors, a highlight of each year's Season Launch.

A special presentation then followed in the changerooms, where the new-look locker area was unveiled to the playing group. The new area, with the help of the Past Players group now boasts a striking and symbolic presence, with the rich history of players before them etched onto each locker. Chairman of the Past Players and officials committee Keith Kulmann gave a resounding speech to the playing group about the names that were in the room and what playing for Glenelg meant to him.

 

Bill started out as timekeeper in Glenelg's junior grades in 1973. In League ranks between 1976 and 2018 Bill was timekeeper for 938 premiership games for his beloved Tigers - he only missed a handful of games in that time in 1998 due to heart surgery.

Glenelg has played 1893 League Premiership games in its 98-year history, which means Bill was just short of officiating at half the games the Tigers have ever played. The Bays also played 73 Escort Cup, Foundation Cup, Wills Cup and Foster's Cup night games between 1976-93, so that incredibly lifts his tally to more than 1000 games.

The Holst Family have been an integral part the GFC Family for many decades now, with Bill’s son David representing the Tigers for 190 games between 1975 and 1985.

Bill was awarded Glenelg Life Membership in 1991 for his outstanding service to the Club, which continued beyond another 25 years.

The Glenelg Football Club extends its sympathies to the Holst Family at this difficult time.

SANFLW Round 4 - Amended Start Time:

Glenelg vs West Adelaide @ City Mazda Stadium, 6:30pm

Seven-year-old Enzo was born with the rapid-ageing condition Progeria, which has no cure and generally reduces life expectancy to about 14 years. Enzos' parents, Catherina and Percy, started 'Team Enzo' to help fund Enzo’s medical and therapeutic costs. Donations will also help fund Enzo’s travel costs to Boston, USA, to participate in life changing clinical trials run by the Progeria Research Foundation. 

St Mary's Memorial School and the wider community are raising money for Team Enzo towards his medical trip to Boston in September this year. On the last day of Term 1, Friday 12th April, every $1000 raised a teacher or a Glenelg football player (Josh Scott) will shave or colour their hair.

 

To dontate to Team Enzo and help him get to Boston, head to the fundraising page. All donations are tax deductable.

Newly elected City of Holdfast Bay Mayor, Amanda Wilson commented on the evolving landscape of the Glenelg Football Club and its presence in the community.

"it's great to see the focus on a real family friendly environment. Not just to watch the football, but to be able to come and spend time eating and having kids play on the oval as well.

Over the years, football clubs such as ours have experienced significant changes both in core values and the manner in which we operate. We have cast aside that ‘blokey’ image to one of inclusivity. Women now play a pivotal role within the Club through operational structures and support base – a role which is unquestioned, respected and appreciated. That role is here to stay.

We recognise a number of ‘firsts’ on this special day:

• Amanda Wilson

First elected female City of Holdfast Bay Mayor and first female Club Patron

• Catherine Sayer

First female GFC Board Member

• Cassie Hartley

First GFCW Captain and first female player to have player picket at the oval following 1107 male players. We believe Cassie is the first SANFL female player to be honoured in such a way

In addition to the above we also have:

• Head Physiotherapist: Sarah O’Donnell
• 2018 Club Person of the Year: Tina Donovan who is also GFCW Team Manager
• Head Trainers: Kate Williams and Laura Holmes
• Commercial Manager: Kristin Jeffery
• Women’s High Performance: Millie Bishop
• Women’s Head Trainer: Georgia Crossman
• Women’s Physio: Tiffany Gray
• Reserves Time Keeper: Nadine Bolt
• COE Head Trainer: Tammy Gough

The above list is not all encompassing – suffice to say that the Glenelg Football Club cannot exist without valued female support and involvement. It is best summarised by Board Member Catherine Sayer who said:

“Women play a crucial role across the whole of the Glenelg Football Club.  The strong emergence of women’s football at the club shows the interest women have in football both on and off the field. 

"Having said that, it is important to acknowledge that the women involved in the club are there on merit and are the best people for the job they hold."

To celebrate the collective role which Women perform in our Club, we offer all GFC Female Members a complimetary glass of house champagne when you visit the Glenelg Club on International Women's Day - Friday March 8, 2019.

The program will be uniquely different to any mainstream football development program. Whilst skill development remains a fundamental focus, there will be a strong emphasis on life skill development and providing regular educational workshops in areas such as goal setting, workload management, values and trademarks, building resilience, diet & nutrition, injury prevention and recovery.

Academy Manager and Club League Director, Justin Scripps said creating the Academy concept is critical to sustaining our long term League team success and building our culture.

“Our vision is to invest more time and resources into developing a best practice football development program so we can increase the depth of juniors reaching their potential and experience a long and successful League career.

"Over the years we’ve had a strong depth of players drafted into the AFL but have been starved of League premiership success. This program will give ourselves every opportunity to build a strong foundation for the future."

The new Tigers Academy was launched today with the first trial day at Sacred Heart College, which combined skill and fitness testing across the three age groups.

Coach Presentation: Mark Stone

Mark gave an insight to player behaviour, improvement and expectations. The meeting concluded with an audio/visual presentation.

Curran assumes the role of sole Captain after Andrew Bradley stepped back from leadership duties after 5 years as Skipper.

Senior Coach Mark Stone said the decision was made by the Senior Coaching group and Key Football personnel at the Club, as well as peer input. 

“There was a process we went through last year to select a 6-man leadership group which comprised of Co-Captains Andrew Bradley and Chris Curran, supported by Aaron Joseph, Matt Snook, Marlon Motlop, and Max Proud.

“We also gave Matt Uebergang, Josh Scott and Jonty Scharenberg additional responsibilities to develop their leadership skills.

“This season, Andrew Bradley and Matt Snook have decided to step down from official leadership roles, which opened up opportunities for others to step up.

“Across a 2-month period of pre-season, we observed the habits of the group for standards setters, held a peer vote, and consulted others around the organisation such as the CEO and football manager for their thoughts.

“It was quite unanimous that Josh Scott and Matt Uebergang join the leadership group this season, as well as the elevation of Max Proud to Vice Captain.”

Stone believes it was a combination of factors that made Curran the stand-out man for the job.

“Chris Curran really grew with the added responsibilities as Captain as the year progressed last season and has become a strong leader with a clear understanding of where we want to go as a club and has an appetite to drive the group in that direction.”

Curran won’t be without support in 2019, with Max Proud being elevated to the position of Vice-Captain following his stand-out 2018 that culminated in him winning the Club’s Best and Fairest.

“Max is a very balanced person, and shows great empathy, but also demonstrates the desire to be respected over liked,” Stone said.

He also believes the group will help him grow as a coach as well:

“Together, the 6-man group work side by side, and as a group they provide leadership, direction and mentoring for not just the players, but feedback for me as well.

"They, along with the rest of the list are aware that a great leader doesn’t need a title - just a vision, and a passion to fulfil it.”

 

 

 

OUT WITH THE OLD, IN WITH THE NEW

December 2016: Storm damage to the HY Sparks Stand

The storm ultimately that saw the end of the Sparks Stand now seems like an eterntiy ago. Since the December storm, 3 major phases have now been completed turning what was effectively a demolition zone into a picturesque backdrop to the oval that still retains its heritage brickwork.

Phase 1: Demolition of the HY Sparks Stand begins

Glenelg Oval resembled somewhat of a constuction site for a period whilst the stand was removed in 2017. Structural damage to the stand saw the decision to have it replaced by a grass mound and shelter similar to that of Adelaide Oval.

Phase 2: The new grass viewing mound

What followed the demolition of the stand now sits as what would be the envy of any other club in the competition. A lush grass mound in a prime viewing location on the Western Wing, which still holds the heritage of the century-old stand in its brickwork. The mound was unveiled at the club's first Home Match in 2018 against Port Adelaide, with the addition of lighting making the area stand out as a centrepiece in the night.

.

Phase 3: The newly contructed shade sails on the Western wing

To complete the newly renovated area, 5 new shade sails have been erected by the City of Holdfast Bay for shelter. A now stand-out feature, the sails give the oval a real "boutique" feel that is sure to create a hub of activity that extends from the Cricket Club, through the alfresco area and Snouts Hill and around the the scoreboard on game days.

 

Footy @ The Bay in 2019 really is going to be "the place to be"!

Printed copies will be available from Club Reception from Wednesday February 20 during office hours. In consideration of the environment, only a small number of hard copies will be printed.

A reminder that the Club’s AGM will be held in the President's Room (Level 1, ACH Group Stadium) on Monday 25th February at 7:30pm.

Season 3.0 of the SANFL Statewide Super Women's League kicks off for the Tigers in less that 4 days against the Eagles at Flinders University Stadium on Friday. The 2019 Season was officially launched today with a breakfast at Adelaide Oval.

GFCW skipper Cass Hartley joined her League Captain counterparts on stage this morning to speak all things pre-season, the building excitement and what it means to wear the famous no. 5 at the club.

Chief SANFL Writer Zac Milbank was also on hand to chat to Cass about today's launch and the upcoming 2019 SANFLW Season.

Listen below:

The Tigers kick off Round 1 of the SANFL Statewide Super Women's League Season against the Eagles this Friday at Flinders University Stadium (Noarlunga Oval) at 5:20pm.

The Glenelg Football Club would like to acknowledge the passing of Life Member Graham Ferrett, aged 87.

A former member of the Vice-Presidents throughout the 1960's & 70's, Ferrett was instrumental in bringing Glenelg Great Neil Kerley to the club in 1967 with the help of then President, John Martin.

Speaking with Michaelangelo Rucci at the Adelaide Advertiser, Kerley spoke of Ferrett's incredible sporting resume he had built over the years.

“Graham’s greatest strength was his ability to make people do things. Kerley said.

"He was unbelievable in how he would ask people to do things - and get them done."

Outside of the Glenelg Football Club, Ferrett's achievements included managing Donald Campbell's land-speed world record attempt at Lake Eyre in 1964, as well as managing long-term Club Sponsor Stillwell Ford under Glenelg Great Graham Bignell.

The Glenelg Football Club passes its condolences to Graham's family at this difficult time.

L-R: BROOKE TREVENA (DEPUTY VICE-CAPTAIN), TESS MORCOM, CHARLOTTE DAWE         

 

Brooke Trevena (Deputy-Vice Captain) and Charlotte Dawe return leadership roles again in 2019, with Tess Morcom also joing the group.

Glenelg Women's Coach Jason Fairall said the group's election is an exciting prospect leading into season 2019.

"This off-season and pre-season has been super in important for us to re-define what we stand for, to drive elite standards and make sure our behaviours support them."

"Cass, Ellie, Brooke, Tess and Charlie have all played very important roles in building the platform, leading the way for their team mates and constantly striving for improvement."

"It is more than fitting that they lead the way for us in 2019."

After a 1 point win in their recent trial match against Sturt, the team's focus is now on their 2nd trial against West Adelaide on Saturday February 2nd at City Mazda Stadium.

Round 1 of the SANFL Statewide Super Women's League kicks off for the Tigers on Friday February 15 against South Adelaide at Flinders University Stadium from 5:20pm. Entry is FREE.

Glenelg is forging ahead under new Women’s Coach Jason Fairall, with the Tigers hitting the 2019 Statewide Super Women’s League with plenty of renewed enthusiasm.

Coming off a bottom-placed finish last year, the Bays have overhauled their list with the majority of new players originating from the club’s local area.

Speaking on SANFL Radio, Fairall said he was excited to see the new breed of players develop this year, with key recruits including Caitlin Gould (Happy Valley) and Morphettville Park pair Chelsea Packer and Ellen Fauser.

Glenelg has lost the on-field experience of veterans Lexi Edwards and Angela Moritz but in a positive, they are remaining at Brighton Road as assistant coaches.

Edwards has retired while Moritz has joined Sam Allan on the sidelines for 2019 with a long-term knee injury.

The Tigers will open their Statewide Super League campaign with a contest against competition newcomer Woodville-West Torrens on Friday February 15 at Flinders University Stadium.

Glenelg has locked in the homecoming of skillful utility Cory Gregson, with the delisted Geelong forward targeting a Round 1 start with the Tigers in 2019.

Struck down by a debilitating foot injury which restricted him to 39 AFL games with the Cats in four seasons, Gregson revealed he has resumed running since his latest bout of surgery in July.

The talented 22-year-old said he's encouraged by his progress given he is pain free during, and after, each running session in the past month.

After playing five League matches with the Bays in 2014, the former gymnast burst on to the elite scene by playing 20 games with Geelong in 2015 after being selected at pick No.47 in the AFL Draft.

But he has since been restricted due to the navicular bone in his left foot, resulting in him being released by the Cats in September.

Measuring in at 175cm and 79kg, he is now refreshed and excited to spend more time in the midfield under Bays coach Mark Stone.

Even while playing in the VFL for the Cats, Gregson was chiefly stationed inside attacking 50m but he is likely to be used for longer around the centre square upon his return to Brighton Road.

Now set to start his off-field career as a carpenter, Gregson is looking forward to playing alongside fellow midfield recruit Luke Partington as well as good mates such as Elliot Chalmers, Matt Snook, co-captain Andrew Bradley and 2018 best-and-fairest Max Proud.

His signature adds to those of Partington, key forward Liam McBean, defender Brad Agnew and Launceston utility Rulla Kelly-Mansell in a promising off-season for the Tigers.

The Glenelg Football Club is pleased to announce the signing of versatile Tasmanian, Rulla Kelly-Mansell for season 2019. Kelly-Mansell joins the Tigers from Launceston in the Tasmanian Football League, where he has spent the past two seasons under former Glenelg midfielder, Sam Lonergan.

The 26 year old looks set to add depth off the half-back line, with the ability to push out to a wing or up to half-forward when required.

"We are really happy to have Rulla join us and are excited by what he add to our squad with his hard run and penetrating kick." Tigers Coach Mark Stone said.

"He is training ahead of schedule to get to know the players and is driven to make his mark in this competition."

Kelly-Mansell joins new recruit and former West Coast Eagle Luke Partington at The Bays alongside Liam McBean and Brad Agnew, both returning in season 2019 after spending this year overseas.

By ZAC MILBANK

Glenelg has secured the signature of promising midfielder Luke Partington, who will return to SANFL ranks in 2019.

Delisted by AFL club West Coast after playing six matches in three seasons for the Eagles, Partington settled on the Bays after being courted by at least four SANFL clubs.

''Going to school at Immanuel, it’s the place I really wanted to live. I already have relationships with a lot of the guys here, it’s a great spot to come in a play footy. Mark is a very experienced coach with great ideas, with a great team of coaches and support staff. Glenelg is the Club that really suits me best.'' said Partington, who was selected at pick No.28 in the 2015 AFL National Draft.

The 21-year-old - who was SA U18 vice-captain in 2015 - proved to be an extremely consistent and durable performer in the WAFL, averaging more than 24 disposals in 46 matches for the Eagles' feeder club East Perth.

This year, Partington was joint-winner of East Perth's best-and-fairest award with former Glenelg junior Matt Allen while also polling the most votes for the Royals at the 2018 Sandover Medal.

Originally from Tumby Bay on the Eyre Peninsula, Partington came through Port Adelaide's talent programs before transferring to Norwood in 2015 following SANFL's boundary redistribution of development zones.

As an 18-year-old, Partington - an Immanuel College graduate - played six SANFL League matches for the Redlegs in 2015, including the Elimination Final loss to Central District.

Measuring in at 181cm and 77kg, Partington is considered to be a ball-carrying midfielder, who can also gain possession on the inside of the contest.

''We’re thrilled to have Luke at the Club. We targeted him not only as a quality footballer with experience at AFL level, but as a kid with great character and strong values that will fit into our squad really well. We think he’s going to be a long-term player for us and a strong leader who will really boost our midfield.'' Glenelg coach Mark Stone said.

Partington's presence adds to the highly-anticipated returns of key forward Liam McBean and reliable defender Brad Agnew, who will again don the black and goal next year after spending this season travelling overseas.

Glenelg under-18 footballer Adam Beaumont has made it all the way from Adelaide to Melbourne in his stunning tribute to his mum, who passed away last year. Training starts soon for the Tigers' 2019 season and you can bet Adam will be fit enough! He ended up at the MCG having ridden with close mates Matt and Adam 1000 km via the Great Ocean Road in nine days. His mum, Sharon, an avid Tigers supporter, was just 51 when she passed away with pancreatic cancer. Adam, who has played with Glenelg since the under-13s and was an under-16 premiership player, rode to raise money for the Pancare Foundation. Thursday, November 15 is World Pancreatic Cancer Day and we reckon it's time to celebrate that Adam incredibly has raised more than $32,000 to create awareness of pancreatic cancer, research early-detection techniques and develop treatments. And it's not too late to help. Adam's Go Fund Raise Page can be found HERE

The announcement coincides with news the club’s coach Mark Stone has extended his contract to include the 2019-20 season. The club is also happy to acknowledge the signing of Liam McBean and Brad Agnew.  
 
Glenelg Football Club Chief Executive Officer Glenn Elliott said the naming rights partnership would further strengthen the relationship between ACH Group and the Glenelg Football Club. 
 
“Now established at the Glenelg Oval precinct, this exciting announcement confirms ACH Group’s long-term commitment to the local area,” Mr Elliott said. “As with ACH Group, Glenelg Football Club is a local not-for-profit entity with an established presence since its foundation in 1920. The Club promotes sporting participation leading to healthier lifestyles for South Australians of all ages.” 

Mr Elliott said the Club was pleased to announce that Gliderol Garage Doors will continue its sponsorship with another agreement spanning two years. 
 
“Continuing on from the existing 10-year agreement, Gliderol’s commitment to the club has been exceptional and for this to be extended for a total of 12 years is another positive move forward for the club and its supporters.” 
 
Gliderol Managing Director Ben Lumbers said Gliderol enjoyed a strong relationship with the club and was looking forward to continuing its support.

TIGER'S RIDE TO FIGHT CANCER

Glenelg under-18 footballer Adam Beaumont is riding to the MCG in a tribute to his mum, Sharon, an avid Tigers supporter who passed away last year.

Sharon, who was just 51, had pancreatic cancer. Adam, who has played with Glenelg since the under-13s and was an under-16 premiership player, will ride with three close mates 1000 km via the Great Ocean Road to the MCG in nine days in October. His aim is to raise money for the Pancare Foundation to try to raise awareness of pancreatic cancer, to research early-detection techniques and develop treatments.

2018 West End SA Hall of Fame Inductee - Harry Kernahan

The Glenelg Football Club is proud to announce the induction of club great Harry Kernahan into the West End SA Football Hall of Fame.

One of only 17 “Greats of Glenelg” and Father of Glenelg Hall of Famer Stephen, Harry played 176 games for Glenelg between 1959-65, and again between 1969-71. The strong-bodied ruckman captained the Tigers in 1964-65, also notching up 10 State Games in a brilliant playing career. Harry returned as General Manager for 14 years through the 70’s and 80’s, a time in which Glenelg won 3 of its 4 Premierships.

Fellow SA football legends Graham Cornes & Neil Kerley once described Kernahan as a “powerful force” and a “tough, dependable competitor who has left and enormous legacy.”

Harry Kernahan was inducted to the West End SA Football Hall of Fame alongside fellow inductees Darren Smith (Port Adelaide) and Peter Vivian (Central District). 

Members of Harry’s family were in attendance to accept his induction in his honour, including Sons Stephen, Gary and David.

Congratulations to this week's Split 50/50 Raffle winner, Richard Jolly. Richard took home a cool $1241 from a total prize pool of $2482. Thank you to all who took part in Split 50/50 raffle this year, see you again in 2019!

Glenelg strung together its sixth win in succession after a dramatic five-point win against Sturt at Gliderol Stadium.

Classy Tiger Marlon Motlop produced the match-winning goal with less than 30 seconds left on the clock to snatch victory against the finals-bound Double Blues.

Leading for the majority of the contest after a productive five-goal second term, the Bays looked done when Sturt’s Josh Hone goaled on the run from 30m, stretching the lead to eight points, 22 minutes into the final term.

But it took less than two minutes for the hosts to reply when Josh Scott booted his second major from a 45m set shot after receiving a free kick.

With the deficit just two points, Glenelg’s Carl Nicholson had the chance to put his side in front when he took an overhead mark 30m from goal directly in front.

Nicholson missed his simple set shot but as Sturt’s Guy Page kicked the ball in, he was penalised for booting the ball over the line of the goal square, causing a stoppage just 10m from goal.

Tenacious Tiger Matt Snook managed to farm out a contested handball to Motlop, who snapped the ball around his body from 15m to put his side back in front.

As the players headed back to the centre square the final siren sounded, causing wild celebrations amongst the black and gold faithful in the outer.

Glenelg made the most of Sturt being severely restricted with its bench rotations, as the visitors looked to take no risks with a host of players they are wishing to prime for next Sunday’s Qualifying Final against the Eagles.

As forward Mark Evans – who kicked two first term majors – claimed the Ken Farmer Medal as the competition’s leading goal kicker, the Double Blues were also dealing with injuries to premiership players Fraser Evans (ankle), Aidan Riley (slight hamstring), Jack Stephens (cork) and John Greenslade (ankle).

Of those, Evans’ ankle is the most concerning, with the Jack Oatey Medallist – who was using crutches after the final siren – to get scans to determine the extent of his ailment.

In brighter news for the reigning premier, Shane McAdam returned to his early season form with four goals, including a genuine contender for Statewide Super Mark of the Year when he soared high over his opponent to take an overhead grab.

The Bays, who will finish sixth with nine wins and nine losses, will take several positives from the victory, with Snook and Nicholson productive in the midfield and ruckman Jesse White finishing the season strongly with 21 disposals and 22 hit outs.

GLENELG 20.6.126
ADELAIDE 10.9.69

We started a bit flat this week and although conditions were blustery we turned the ball over 7 times in our D50.

We were lucky the crows didn’t punish us kicking 2.4 from those turnovers. Fortunately we only had 1 more for the game. 

The rain came down hard in the 2nd quarter creating a stoppage game and the crows were better in this area of the game and we relied on scoring from turnovers to lead at half time.

Our structures in front and behind the ball from then on were really sound and we were able to control the game.

It was a very even performance across the board and a weight of numbers contribution even though there were players with multiple goals. 

After losing Jonty Scharenberg in the 1st 30 seconds of the game with a knee, the players ability to dig in and run against a very good crows midfield, will greatly benefit the development of our midfield. 

This week we face another team with a good midfield in Sturt and we look forward to taking on a top 3 team at gliderol stadium.

Glenelg won its fifth match in succession with a straight-shooting 57-point win against Adelaide at Gliderol Stadium.

Despite being without the suspended Josh Scott for the second match in a row, the Tigers spread the scoring load as forwards Luke Reynolds, Lachie Hosie and Ian Milera each booted four goals.

And it was the Bays’ impressive accuracy which gave it the platform to springboard from after heading to the first break on level terms despite having five less scoring shots.

With midfielder Jonty Scharenberg sidelined by a first-term knee injury leaving them one man short for the majority of the contest, the hosts kicked 15.6 to Adelaide’s 6.3 over the final three quarters to engineer a clinical victory.

But it was to no avail though, as South Adelaide’s upset win against the Eagles at Woodville snuffing out any faint hopes Mark Stone’s men had of sneaking into the top five.

There was still a lot to like for the Tiger faithful though, particularly the form of midfielder Ben Sawford, who racked up 39 disposals, six tackles and a goal to continue his impressive late-season form.

The former Magpie – who was troubled by a thigh strain during the mid-part of the year – was back to his best in the centre square, with his long and direct pass inside 50m to Reynolds on the verge of three quarter-time indicative of his impact.

Defenders Chris Curran and Max Proud again played their part in keeping the opposition under the 70-point barrier while Elliot Chalmers backed up his impressive performance against North in Round 17 with another nine marks.

Former Collingwood bigman Jesse White has also improved his contribution significantly in the latter part of the season as he revels in the role of leading the ruck.

White – who kicked a nice goal off a step from 45m in the opening term – finished with 21 disposals, four tackles, 22 hitouts and seven inside 50s in his best game for Glenelg.

Exciting young midfielder Brad Close also made an encouraging return to the Macca’s League from a knee injury to compile 12 disposals, 10 tackles and a goal.

Losing veteran defender Andy Otten – who was a late call up to the AFL – before the bounce didn’t help matters for the Crows, who had few genuine four-quarter contributors.

Midfield trio Cam Ellis-Yolmen, Sam Gibson and Pat Wilson collected a staggering 112 disposals between them but it wasn’t enough for the injury-raved visitors to put up any meaningful resistance.

BY ZAC MILBANK 

Gutsy Glenelg made it four wins in a row and dented North Adelaide’s hopes of the finals double-chance with a hard-fought three-point win in testing conditions at Prospect Oval.

The Roosters, who fought back from 16 points down late in the third quarter, were attacking hard as the final siren sounded but agonisingly missed their chance to jump above Sturt into third spot on the ladder. But the win was another big step forward for Mark Stone’s Tigers, who mathematically remain a chance to snatch an unlikely spot in the finals, bravely hanging on for their seventh win of the season.

Chris Curran led the way from the back again, while fellow defenders Elliot Chalmers and Max Proud put their hands up in the final frantic moments to claim crucial, gutsy intercept marks. Jonty Scharenberg was outstanding all day and his long goal on the run in the last quarter proved critical, while hard-working Matthew Snook was in everything.

Rooster Callum Wilkie’s strong marking kept turning Glenelg out, while thumping left-footer Jarred Allmond earned 29 kicks. And just when it looked like the Tigers would stand firm and show what an improving outfit they are, the Roosters came thundering home, experienced Leigh Ryswyk goaling before Aidan Tropiano kicked truly at the 17-minute-mark of the final quarter. Tigers big man Jesse White’s desperate attempt to keep the ball out on the goal-line narrowly failed and the clash was set for a tense, desperate climax.

North’s hopes were hit with the loss of inspirational skipper Max Thring, likely to miss three weeks with a calf strain, while the Bays, having racked up successive wins against South, Port and West, were without in-form key forward Josh Scott (suspended).

Glenelg was on the board quickly when Terry Milera, who went into the clash with a remarkably accurate 29.7 for the season, threaded through a goal. The Bays had the better of it early but goals to skilful wingman Maris Olekalns and ball magnet Tropiano put the Roosters in front. An Ian Milera goal in time-on gave the Bays the narrowest of leads at the first break before the difficult conditions contributed to a battle of the defences early in the second term.

It took 10 minutes to break the scoring deadlock, Connor Rozee gifted a goal by a Glenelg turnover but suddenly the Tigers turned it on. Jesse White was having a big impact in ruck and with Snook and Ben Sawford working well at the stoppages, exciting forward Lachlan Hosie and Matt Uebergang banged on goals.

The Tigers did not make the most of the chances they were creating with Ian Milera, Snook, Hosie, Scharenberg and Uebergang all missing shots at goal before Hosie sank his second and Glenelg led 5.7 to 3.1. But a Rozee snap out of the pack that bounced through for a much-needed goal on the siren showed the Roosters were not finished with.

In the third quarter the Bays twice looked like they were working their way towards a win but goals to Terry Milera and Hosie were both answered by the Roosters, first from a Tom Schwarz snapped goal out of nothing, then with a stunning angled shot from the pocket by Mark Quinn in time-on.

MARK'S MATCH REVIEW - LEAGUE 

GLENELG 13.12.90
WEST ADELAIDE 8.13.61

We went into the West game expecting a tough tackling contest and that’s what we got. The 1st quarter was an arm wrestle but we were able to use the breeze well to score in Q2 while defending strongly to hold them to 0.4 for the term. 

The 3rd quarter had some significant moments - Burgess went forward and caused some headaches with match ups and kicked 3.

An off the ball incident with sawford gifted us a goal and then Scott was pushed hard into Beech after he’d marked which resulted in a free and 50m penalty and certain goal. I felt like these things distracted us slightly and we needed to regroup.

I thought our last quarter was strong and ran out the game well against a very good running team. 

To West Adelaide's credit, they were down to 1 rotation and played hard til the end. 

Next week we take on North at prospect, another challenge we must face head on. 

RELLS WRAP UP - RESERVES 

GLENELG 9.13.67
WEST ADELAIDE 9.7.61

Round 16 was always going to be a good clash between Glenelg and West Adelaide reserves.  It was a close battle between the two sides but it would have to be said West played a better brand of football for the first half but failed to punish us on the scoreboard.   We were wayward in front of the big sticks and even though we had more scoring shots still trailed by 5 points at the long break.  To the players credit they listened to instructions and worked hard on the basics whilst also building the connectivity between the lines.  The third term saw us again miss shots on goal but the endeavour was there and we felt like the game was ours to win if we could correct the goal kicking and balance all over the ground.  

We adjusted at three quarter time and and got the game back on our terms in the last quarter.  The main focus of score board pressure and intensity whilst making sure we had the right balance with moving the ball by hand and foot.  We wrestled back momentum producing a scrappy congested last quarter.  We drew level with West at the 6 minute mark of the final quarter and from there edged our way in front to hang on by 6 points.  The final score of 9:13 will need to be rectified as we head towards finals to make sure we are the side hitting the scoreboard.  We will take the win and get ready for North next Sunday at Prospect and will then have the quick follow up to play West again in the space of 12 days in a stand alone Friday night game.

MARK'S MATCH REVIEW - LEAGUE

GLENELG 16.7.103
PORT 9.14.68

We didn’t start well and couldn’t execute our plans in the 1st quarter, and although we were out-played in most facets of the game, our efficiency with the ball gave us the lead at the break.

From the 2nd quarter on we played a better brand of footy and were able to improve our contest and defence. 

Port beat us around the source of stoppage but our structures either side of the ball helped us minimise their scoring and set us up to rebound. 

Overall our ball use was really pleasing and our forwards were able to capitalise on our height advantage inside 50. 

Regardless of the various wins and losses across different areas of the game and various match ups, it was a great result to beat port at Alberton which is not easy to do. 

RELL'S WRAP UP - RESERVES 

GLENELG 27.9.171
PORT 4.3.27

We went to Alberton confident we could win but we set ourselves some goals with regards to playing team footy and to work on being seen as a disciplined side.

Our first quarter was average by our standards and we thought we over used the ball and went away from our basic fundamentals at times. After quarter time we refocused and played a controlled style of football that was pleasing.  The ball movement improved as the game progressed and a real standout was our contested possession that was down last week.

We now prepare for what should be a fantastic contest with West Adelaide at home on Sunday.
