Bays expose
Redleg worries
By David Valente.
Anyone going to Norwood Oval on Friday night expecting to
see a high-flying Norwood demolish the lowly ranked Bays
was quickly put in their place as Glenelg scored two
goals inside the first three minutes.
Glenelg threw out an unrelenting challenge to the Redlegs
and dominated possession, but nevergave the feeling they
were going to take the points.
The extraordinary natyre of the game, lopsided in so many
ways, must provoke some serious evaluation and action
from both clubs.
The Bays ran tirelessly and peppered their forward lines,
occasionally breaking through thanks to opportunists
goalsneaks like Kevin Maher.
But with no leading forward target, all that possesion
reaped little reward. Turning hurried behinds into set
shots is the responsibility of a key forward, something
Glenelg did not have on Friday.
Norwood's accuracy was impeccable , paticularly in the
muddy, wet conditions. But despite a hard hitting attack
on the football, the tempo was relaxed and never reached
the desperation of Glenelg.
Norwood's skills and teamwork were top claa, but coach
Neville Roberts was right to be concerned over the 'Legs
need to produce finals football.
Captain Anthony Harvey, who showed he is fully recovered
with a gutsy performance at the Parade, is sure to make a
difference in that department, as should the expected
return next week of John Cunningham.
