ROUND FOURTEEN
Saturday 10th of
June.
NORTH 1.7 4.11
7.12 15.13 (103)
GLENELG 2.4 5.6 9.9 13.9 (87)
Although a fairly
close game on the scoreboard, the stats tell the story.
Glenelg full-forward David Hams continued his
disappointing season, being held scoreless, finishing the
day without a single kick. Only 3 Glenelg goals were
scored after a player had taken a mark. Until Glenelg can
deliver the ball into the forward lines with precision,
to a forward who can mark consistently, it is unlikely to
win many games. At least the reserves had a win!!
Glenelg front up against South at Adelaide Oval on Friday
night, in a continuation of a season that must be fast
evolving into a horrid nightmanre for coach McGuinness.

Mail."
A game for
Roosters to crow about.
By Nikki Tugwell.
North Adelaide proved persistence does pay yesterday at
Prospect Oval when it overpowered Glenelg with an
eight-goal final-quarter burst to become a 16-point
winner.
The outcome was critical for the pride of both clubs
which are at the bottom of the ladder and each trying to
avoid the wooden spoon. The loss now consolidates bottom
posistion for Glenelg which has not won since April
against Sturt.
For three quarters, Glenelg was well serviced by Simon
Hele, Jamed Byrne, Nick Chigwidden and Damien Raidis.
Despite leading for most of the contest, it could not
deliver the knockout blow - a credit to North which
refused to be beaten.
Norht trailed at every change, mainly as a result of its
inaacurate first half goal-kicking. But the outstanding
four-quarter performance of skipper Scott Sutherland
ensured the Roosters were never far away on the
scoreboard.
Sutherland was the architect across half-back pushing
forward and working tirelessly to create opportunities
further afield.
He gained assistance, particularly from Ben Setchell and
Scott Bamford, while the quiet achiever was instrumental
in the result. Hollitt shut-down dangerous Glenelg
forward David Hams in the forst-half. Then he was
switched to Mark Harwood who had kicked four important
first half goals.
While minded by Hollitt, neither Hams nor Harwood had a
goal or a kick.
"They were beautiful," a delighted North coach
Chris McDermott said.
"They just hung in there all day and ion the last
quarter we asked for lifts from guys who hadn't had huge
days and Danny Morton, Paris Fowden, Jason Cameron in his
first game and Daniel Hargraves really stood up."
North had trailed by nine points at three-quarter time
but undisciplined acts by Glenelg's Cameron Venables and
then Nick Chigwidden early in the final quarter resulted
in free kicks, 50m penalties and goals. That opened the
door for North and Venables and Chigwidden were
subsequently dragged by coach Tony McGuinness.
North took the lead courtesy mainly of Daniel Hargraves
who booted four final quarter goals to take his tally to
six for the day.
But Glenelg clawed back with two quickfire goals to James
Byrne and regained the lead when Matthew Bode made a
classy dash through half-forward and nailed a 45m goal on
the run. But the lead changed again when the Roosters'
forward Simon Peuker marked 30m from goal, directly in
front and converted.
Goals to team-mates Daniel Motlop and Hargraves put the
result beyond doubt.
