Brogan inspires Panthers.

By David Burtenshaw.
South Adelaide pumped more life back into its season with its third consecutive win, a 59 point belting of Glenelg yesterday at Brighton road.
Inspired by another magnificant game in the ruck by the unlucky Dean Brogan, the Panthers took command with a stunning six-goal blitz in the second quarter.
Glenelg was left flat-footed and frustrated. And although the Tigers tried hard in the second half, they are drifting further and further away from their finals dream, having banked just two wins from nine games.
South coach Greg Anderson was pleased with the team's response to Glenelg's aggressive start and hopes the side can show similar form against the top teams.
"They hit us pretty hard early", he said. "It was great we took all they had to giveand we just kept on moving forward and settled down the quickest. I thought we made most of the initiative all day".
None were better, however, than Brogan , left out of Port Adelaide's AFL side this week after making an impressive debut last Sunday.
"He came back raring to go," Anderson said. The former NBL basketballer dominated the centre square and finished with 28 possesions, 10 marks and 23 hit-outs and also kicked three goals while resting in a forward pocket.
When Brogan did take a break, there was no let-up for Glenelg, with Simon Crawshay also in good touch. The ruck dominance gave South a head start at ground level and there was no shortage of midfielders getting their hands on the ball.
Clay Sampson ran hard all day to rack up 31 touches, centreman David Morgan was the main supplier inside the packs, and captain Kym Koster, Jon Hassal and Phil Murton kept pumping the ball forward. Kym Cobb and Matthew Bishop led a rebounding set of defenders, only bad kicking let down Ian Perrie at centre half-foward, and Mark Demasi bagged three goals in the first half.
Glenelg made a reasonable start, despite Brogan's centre square dominance, and led by eight points half-way through the first term.
Wingman Matthew Shir picked up some early touches and the opening goal, Sudjai Cook drifted down from defence to kick from 50m and then Cameron Venables kicked one from the goal line after a series of handballs.
Midfielder Phil Mckenzie (37 possesions) was probably Glenelg's best ahead of James Byrne, and rover Matthew Bode made a promising come back from a broken wrist, kicking 2.4.
But another Crow, 2000 draftee laurence Angwin, appeared to seriously hurt his right shoulder in the second term.

SCORERS: Bode 2.4, Stphens, Burke, Byrne 2.0, Maher 1.2, logan, Hams 1.1, Shir, Cook, venables 1.0, McKenzie 0.2, Raidis 0.1., rushed 0.2.
