Glenorchy’s Senior side provided a strong effort across four quarters last Saturday in Burnie and were unlucky not to win. They will look to take the tenacity they showed into this weekend’s matchup against North Hobart at KGV. |
It was a case of déjá vu for the Glenorchy Seniors last Saturday as, for the second week running, they let a small lead go and lost by 7 points to one of last year’s Grand Finalists.
Difficult conditions forced old-fashioned tactics as gaining metreage became the main object for players, and for the majority of the game Glenorchy played the small, wet ground better than the home side.
They were unlucky not to pull off the upset of the season, but they have shown that they are capable of matching it with the best.
In other matches, the undermanned Colts went down by 41 points, while the Under 18s defeated Clarence for the second time this season to head into this week’s bye with confidence.
North Hobart come to KGV this week after disappointing performances in both the Seniors and Colts against North Launceston last week, but they will certainly be no easybeats on Saturday.
The Pies will have to find a way to combat in-form forwards in Larry Owen, who kicked 6 in the seniors last week with a bout of gastro, and ex-Glenorchy livewire and speed merchant Stewart Beswick in the Colts.
After agreement was reached between the two Clubs and AFL Tasmania, game start times have now changed, with the Glenorchy Under 9s to kick off proceedings from 10am, the Colts from 11:30am and the Seniors from 2pm.
So make sure you get to KGV this Saturday morning and afternoon and support your Magpies as they take on North Hobart.
