REVIVED BAYS DIG DEEP.

By Paul Kermode.
Glenelg's resurgence continued at Adelaide Oval yesterday with a determined, come from behind 12.16 (88) to 13.7 (85) victory against Woodville-West Torrens in their shoot-out for second position.
Despite leading for most of the day, Glenelg found itself 20 points down seven minutes into the last term, but dug deep to kick the last three goals of the day and record a stirring three point victory.
The Tigers had advanced to second spot on the SANFL ladder this year on the back of a brilliant running brigade. But, in keeping that position yesterday, Glenelg added a new string to its bow: the ability to work its way back into - and ultimately win - a game that seemed lost.
When the Eagles slammed on four goals in the first seven minutes of the final term, they looked to have the game in their keeping. In fact, coach Mark Mickan said his side started to celebrating too early, costing it the match.
And Glenelg, with veterans Paul Rouvray and Jameson asserting their authority on the game, steadily wrested back control.

The Tigers did so with a mix of skill and grit - Rouvray and Jameson providing the skill and run through the midfield and the likes of Paul Sherwood, whose tackle on the speedy Spiro Darzanos in time-on of the last quarter was match winning, provided the grit.
Rouvray who starts at centre half back before pushing forward at every opportunity, had been a valuable player in the first three quarters.
He lifted his rating even further in the last, kicking two goals, including the go-ahead goal 20 minutes into the final term. Jameson, too, was a valuable midfield cog when thrown into the middle after a solid showing in defence. And Richard Kelly, particularly in Glenelg's fine first half, got the Tigers started with his attack on the ball and clever handpassing.
Glenelg now takes a one game lead over the Eagles into next round's bye - and a self belief that is growing with every game.
"We were in deep trouble half way through the last quarter," coach Tony McGuinness said.
"You look for improvements in a side and one of them is character and the ability to come from behind and win. The fact that we were able to do that is another clear sign of the improvement in the side and the side's belief."
For the Eagles, it was a tough lesson in playing out the game until the final siren. "It looked like we were happy with what we had done 15 minutes into the last quarter and that's no time to be celebrating," he said.
At half time, it looked unlikely the Eagles would be in position to challenge for the lead, let alone blow it. It was only through the efforts of Rhett Biglands, captain Andrew Rogers and Midfielder Gavin Colville that the Eagles were close enough to get back the lead when they lifted their work rate in a fine third quarter.
